“Roelands place is in a quiet location just a short drive from Albany but you feel as though you are far from the city, there is no traffic noise, just lovely rural views and a peaceful feel. The house is nicely presented and comfortable. The outdoor living area is great and the pool and spa a real bonus, unfortunately they weren't very clean for our stay which was disappointing as they were a big reason we wanted to stay here. There was also no toaster for our breakfast but other than that the house was well equipped, warm and sunny and we had a lovely time. Roeland was also easy to communicate with, answered questions quickly and took great care of our home, leaving it very clean and tidy. I would recommend him as both a guest and someone to swap with. ”

About our home
This beautiful house contains all the features required for a family get-away. It's unique placement on a hill provides tranquil countryside views, with in the distance the top of Rangitoto island and the Sky tower still visible. The panoramic views are stunning. It is also conveniently close to beautiful beaches (15 minutes) and shopping centers (10 minutes).
There is a car available upon request for your convenience.
The location is approximately 25 minutes north of Auckland CBD . It is an ideal place to unwind and relax without the hustle and bustle of the city. . The west boundary of the property is a working farm so we often see cows grazing in the paddock nearby.
Our house contains a master bedroom with en suite bathroom, 3 other bedrooms, one with a queen bed and 2 with single beds and if necessary next to the garage with internal access another fifth large bedroom with a double bed and it's own private outside deck. Second bathroom, separate toilet, laundry room, a large kitchen – dining – lounge area that opens out to the terraces with direct access to the outside lounge area, swimming pool and spa. While sitting in the spa enjoy the night sky and the distance lights from Auckland city. There is a family room which can be closed off from the dining area, with tv (access to Netflix and Lightbox) , play station and fireplace.
For those summer evenings there is a gas BBQ and outside dinning area. Everything to enjoy your holiday with all the conveniences from your home.
Our house lies on a 1ha piece of land. We have sheep grazing in the paddocks. There is a separate minor dwelling on the land which is tenanted, but away from the main house and no intruding in privacy. Around the house you will find chickens and ducks. We own 3 cats.
Auckland airport is a 45 minutes’ drive away. Rural airport to Waiheke or Great Barrier Island 5 minutes.
