The Bush Sand and Sea B & B has been the accommodation highlight of our trip so far. it's well worth the rate of $210 NZD because it is actually a very new, modern condo with all the latest in technology inside and outside - well it is like a tree house within the canopy of the forest on the...

We had three nights here - one with the bridesmaids to prepare and two as newly married husband and wife - the hosts are fantastic, the comfort is awesome and we felt so amazingly well taken care of - cannot recommend enough! More

We had a wonderful 3 night stay here - a perfect start to married life. We couldn’t have wished for a nicer place to spend our honeymoon. Many thanks to our hosts for their hospitality and generosity - they were the perfect, providing provisions for a lovely breakfast but giving us plenty of space & privacy. We highly recommend this...

My husband, son and I chose this place to stay in Auckland after reading about it on Trip Advisor. It was better than we could have ever imagined! The hospitality of Lyn and Alan was amazing and made us feel so welcome and at home right away. Their special place for guests is beautiful and well thought out. You are... More

A perfect place to stay and just the break that we needed. Most enjoyable, beautiful surroundings, great scenery and natural beauty. Very welcoming and generous hosts, who left us freshly baked and delicious food each day, more than we could eat. We loved the hot spa under the starry sky. Our stay wasn’t long enough, we hope to be back. More

This has to be one of the best places we stayed during our 3 weeks in New Zealand, although advertised as a B&B it is completely self contained and very private. The accommodation is beautifully fitted out and absolutely spotless, with views to die for. The welcome we received from Lyn, the owner, was second to none and we were... More

We stayed here at the end of October, for the first 4 nights of our 6+ weeks in New Zealand and just loved being "out in the bush". The apartment is huge with large areas of decking and lovely views down to distant Bethells Beach. It was the best equiped B&B during our holiday - full kitchen, dishwasher, washing machine,... More

What a joy it was to spend a few days in this beautiful house. We loved the bush walk by night as well as by daytime! So lucky we found you on the internet. Your website looked very tempting and so it is in reality! Thank you for your kindness Lyn, and all the lovely goodies you gave us. All... More

Plush self-contained accommodation nestled in the native bush of the Waitakere's. Gorgeous sea views, especially at sunset! It's a short drive to the beach but you might be happy relaxing right here, soaking in the spa or going on the private bush walk - which even has glow worms at night. The owners are very friendly and provide a fresh... More
