About this property

Whitby Studio – 200m to Mairangi Bay Beach & Village

  • Welcome to Whitby Studio, a private and fully self-contained garden studio in the heart of beautiful Mairangi Bay on Auckland’s North Shore.

    The studio has its own private entrance and enjoys a sunny, north-facing position with wonderful indoor/outdoor flow onto a large deck and established subtropical garden — a lovely spot for breakfast in the sunshine, an afternoon coffee or a relaxed glass of wine at the end of the day.

    Inside, you’ll find a comfortable queen-size bed, dining and sitting areas, a well-equipped kitchen, Smart TV and fast unlimited fibre Wi-Fi. A portacot is also available on request.

    Your large private deck has outdoor furniture and a gas BBQ, giving you plenty of space to relax and enjoy the garden.

    We provide quality bed linen and towels for your stay, including beach towels for those sunny Mairangi Bay days.

    A fantastic Mairangi Bay location

    One of the best things about Whitby Studio is the location. You can leave the car behind and walk to almost everything you need.

    Mairangi Bay Beach is less than 200 metres away, with easy access via nearby walkways. Mairangi Bay Village is only around 100 metres from the studio and has a great selection of cafés, restaurants, takeaways, boutique shops, a supermarket and other local conveniences.

    The beautiful coastal walkway connects Mairangi Bay with neighbouring Murrays Bay and Campbells Bay, both an easy walk away. Browns Bay and Takapuna are also just a short drive from the studio.

    Nearby you’ll find:

    • Mairangi Bay Beach and coastal walkway
    • Mairangi Bay Village cafés, restaurants and shops
    • Murrays Bay Yacht Club
    • Mairangi Bay Surf Club
    • Mairangi Bay Tennis Club

    • Mairangi Bay Arts Centre
    • Children's playground
    • Woolworths supermarket
    • Westfield Albany and Albany shopping precinct
    • Massey University Albany Campus
    • AUT Millennium sports and recreation facilities

    North Harbour Stadium is approximately a 10-minute drive away, while Auckland City and Eden Park are easily accessible by car or public transport, depending on traffic.

    Whitby Studio is also close to the main bus route, making it easy to reach Takapuna, Albany and central Auckland.

    Whether you're visiting family and friends, coming to Auckland for an event, travelling for work or simply wanting a relaxing break near the beach, Whitby Studio offers a peaceful, private place to stay in one of the North Shore’s loveliest seaside neighbourhoods.

Amazing location

Such a clean and comfortable studio! Really appreciated all the special touches. We were staying for a swim competition and Kathy even set aside extra beach towels for us, though we didn't end up needing them. We loved our stay and the location is perfect. We hope to return again!

Nice little studio, great location.

Nice little studio apartment on the ground floor of the house. Lots of light due to the large windows looking out to the well treed garden. Five minute walk to the beach and a small shopping/restaurant area. All your conveniences are within walking distance. Kathy is a great host and Hec, thanks for the tip about the Duke in Russell!

The studio unit is well set up and the owners are friendly and welcoming but not ‘in your face’. The bottle of wine, milk and chocolate in the fridge on check in were very welcome. Within walking distance of the beach and shops this is a great little place to stay. There is also a parking space in front of the garage for the person staying in the unit.

Great stay

Cathy was very kind to let us check in early as soon as the studio was ready. Studio has everything you would need. We were also able to pick some feijoas and enjoyed them on the deck out in the sun. The sofa bed is cosy as well for the kids.The linen and bedding Cathy provides is of high quality and she also provided is with a bottle of sauv and chocolates. Parking for 1 vehicle is also available. On checkout day we met with both Cathy and Hec and had a good yarn. Very nice couple and highly recommend staying in the Studio. Cathy and Hec are very down to earth and it was a pleasure staying at their property.

Lovely wee studio

We had a lovely time at this tranquil oasis! Really loved the attention to detail, eg crisp bed linen, everything provided (even mosquito repellent!) We bought an infant and owners were so accommodating by providing a portacot, highchair and bath. Very clean and tidy. Lovely, friendly hosts. Would stay here again! Thanks so much Kathy and Hec for your hospitality.
