About the Place Initially in English, this text was translated via a machine translation service and may contain inaccuracies or errors.
Come and enjoy the almost wilderness, while still being close to Albany shopping hubs, and not too far from Auckland City central!
You can relax and enjoy the quietness, and/or there are work spaces and desks if you need to work while here.
The private room has a comfy bed, wardrobe space, a bush/woods/forest view, and is in a quiet older country style cedar wooden 1980's home.
You have your own dedicated bathroom (with shower and toilet) down the common hallway, with a hairdryer if needed, and two baths are available in other bathrooms if desired.
The kitchen facilities are shared with the hosts, and include a coffee machine, toaster, microwave, Soda Stream etc. An iron/ironing board is available, and a clothes washer/dryer is available, with a donation to extra costs.
You'll share the home and common spaces with a M/M professional couple who work from home, and our lovely young rough coat Collie dog.
Most of the 2.5 acre / 11,000m2 bush/forest/woods property is clothing optional, as there are no obvious neighbours, and the host will be naked if warm enough and if you are okay with this. There is no need to wear clothes in the pool or the spa/jacuzzi/hot tub, but you can if you want to.
There is a wood burning contained fireplace for colder nights, and for warmer days there is a non-heated swimming pool (7.5m x 4m). There is a retro style almost heart shaped outdoor spa/jacuzzi/hot tub but this is not heating at the moment.
Room is older, but tidy and clean, with very high (4.1m/13+ft) wooden ceilings. Bedding linen and bath and pool/spa towels are high quality Australian "Sheridan" brand, and therefore comfortable and a pleasure to use.
Your room has a 46" TV with HDMI cable and a stand for laptops, and an Apple TV with American (VPN) TV streaming services including Netflix, Hulu, Max, PrimeVideo, Disney+ etc. Welcome to also share the common living spaces and lounge (large TV & sound bar), and decks looking over the bush/forest/woods areas.
Can provide a small camping fridge/refrigerator in the room if you require, and you can use space in the main fridge if needed.
Property is rural, and has Starlink satellite internet services, which are perfectly fine for video calls etc (between 80Mbps and 130Mbps usually). Although not fibre, this has still very decent speeds for almost all uses, except gaming.
Drinking and tap/shower water is tank rain water, and we have serious filtration systems including UV filters, normal filters, and extra filters on drinking faucets so water is very clean fresh and nice tasting.
Beaches are about 10-12 mins drive away, including a nudist one, Albany Mall & bus station is 6-10 mins drive, and Auckland City (CBD) is about 20-25 mins away. A good starting point if heading up North (Bay of Islands etc), while still being within Auckland.
Must love or at least like dogs, as our friendly and smart dog will love to enjoy some time with you. We could consider a pet dog with you.
We could consider a child or other person (or people) as other rooms in the house are potentially available, with some notice and time to organise.

Mainly need to be aware that our puppy will walk around the property a lot, and so gates need to be closed at all times. House is older, and very wood style, so make sure you are okay with this. Property is almost fully clothing optional, as the area is remote without visible neighbours. We will respect your clothing option wishes either way, and run with whatever you are comfortable with.
