Craw homestead is a restored farmhouse which was part of a farm originally owned by the Craw family. The house has three bedrooms, open plan living and dining rooms and separate reading room.
The deck offers pleasant rural views to the west coast. A great place to relax and unwind, with walking tracks just a short drive away.
We have closed large sections of the Waitākere Ranges to prevent the spread of kauri dieback.
When you visit our parks you need to clean your footwear and equipment to avoid transferring disease from one area to another.
Find open and closed tracks and read about protecting our kauri.
