Temporary rental - 11 weeks from April:

Beautiful fully furnished 2 or 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in Coastal Beach Haven - an ideal combination of comfort and style for living, and a perfect base from which to work or explore the wonders of Auckland.

You also get to be a flatmate (and carer, let's be honest) for our lovely British blue cat, Beau*!

We have two bedrooms with new double beds, an office-cum-third bedroom (we can move a queen-size bed upstairs if you'd like it as a bedroom), an optional sleepout, a fully-equipped kitchen, open spaces, spacious decks, landscaped gardens, a fully-fenced back yard, a pool and beautiful harbour views. Wifi, Netflix, power and water included, along with two dedicated parking spots.

We're in a quiet, safe cul-de-sac and close to public transport (ferries and buses) into the city, as well as schools, parks, shops, bush walks.

Available for 11 weeks, April 1 to June 19, a wonderful place for you to call home for a short time.

* Beau really is a champ, with the loudest purr in the world. He is an inside cat, and he does wake us up at dawn (full disclosure here!), but his affection makes it so worth it. Our granny flat tenant downstairs loves him too, so if you're away for the weekend or the week he's be very happy to look after Beau.
