Artists' Bush and Ocean Homestay

Martin and Britta welcome you to a very special artists' retreat. Our home is a paradise for art and nature lovers. We have decorated it with quirky, ethnic furnishings from around the world. Our mature garden hosts a rich variety of fruits, flowers and native plants. Several walks begin at our doorstep, taking you through unspoilt bush to hidden bays, mangrove inlets and ever changing views of the Manucau inlet. Britta and I are both artists and teach film making and game design at Auckland University of Technology. We are also keen photographers, with a special interest in the magnificent natural beauty of the Waitakeres National Park. We are happy to take visitors on guided tours of some of its most breathtaking landscapes. Titirangi is very much a cultural centre for West Auckland. It hosts the world class Te Uru Contemporary Art Gallery, the Upstairs Community Art Gallery and the McCahon House Museum, dedicated to the life work of the renowned local artist Colin McCahon.
