Meet Jo
Outgoing, Sociable, Laid Back
I have the BEST VIEW in Auckland and on a good day you may get to dine on freshly caught fish from the mighty Hauraki Gulf. I can organise fishing and sightseeing trips.
On a typical day...
I have a very open house. My house is your house.
When I host guests...
I’m helpful and hands on. I can show them where to go and help them get there.

Welcome to a lovely 3 bedroom home in Manly, Whangaparaoa nestled above bush with amazing views from Arkles Bay to Sky City, Rangitoto and beyond.
You can enjoy a glass of wine on the deck, watch a little tv or chat to our resident "King Jethro" (Cat!) or browse emails etc before wandering down through our access-way to the beach!
I am happy to provide 1st class meals on request and have had many years experience in and have owned my own restaurant.
We have off street parking and are only a couple of hundred meters from the Mall and cafe's, restaurants etc. Buses go past on the main road at the front gate or you could venture further out the Peninsula and catch the ferry into the city.
I also provide you with the opportunity to go fishing in the Hauraki Gulf and beyond. Spend a day with an experienced Fishing Charter operator, explore our amazing coastline, recieve expert tuition, catch your own fish, enjoy fresh sashimi on the boat and return home where I will prepare you a sumptuous fish meal!
