A private, funky cabin surrounded by natures beauty with the best views in town.

Nestled among mature native bush on a ridge surrounded by resident native bird life with spectacular ocean, bush & coastal cliff views sits this cool romantic hideaway. Many hours can be spent relaxing, watching the antics of the birds or taking in the views from the deck or even from bed.
Or we are within a ten minute drive of three beautiful sandy beaches, a famous surf break three minutes away, several bush walks & there is lots of exploring to do around the North Coromandel including the popular Coastal Walkway.
Plenty of water sports to be had, fishing, diving, kayaking or surfing on our doorstep.
Tuateawa is thirty minutes north of Coromandeltown & all the attractions it has to offer. Please be aware that Coromandel is the last place to purchase goods/fuel.
The top floor of the house has the small kitchen (fully equipped) lounge/dining & a queen bed where you can fall asleep gazing at the ocean & the fantastic night sky. Downstairs has bathroom/shower & a small lounge with fireplace.
Ideally the house suits as a nature lovers romantic getaway but there is another queen bed in the sleepout for extras, but four adults may make things a bit cramped, therefore we encourage just one couple bookings.
Tuateawa is a strict conservation area, therefore we are lucky enough to have a fantastic array of native birds. The house is situated in the treetops, so Ruru, Tui, Kereru, Korimako, Tauhau & Kaka are constantly around the house...a birdwatchers paradise! Kiwi can be heard after dusk on the ridge behind the property. There is also a short walk to a secret lagoon bordering the property, where rare Pateke ducks, eels, frogs, abundant birdlife hang out surrounded by a fantastic amphitheatre of ancient native bush
There is also a small collection of some taonga, polished rock/Petrified wood within the house.

Things you should know.

The road between Coromandeltown & Tuateawa is mostly gravel & quite windy, but spectacular! Drive to the conditions. Otherwise there is an alternative route through Colville, which adds another thirty minutes to the journey, there is also a gravel section on this road.
The property is not really suitable for children.
The toilet is an outside composting Worm toilet attached to the house.
The house is fully equipped and has a Nespresso (please bring your own capsules)as there is not a cafe close by!
There is a short walk, with steps, through the bush to the house...but its worth it!
Smoking outside only please.
No Dogs or Cats this is a strict conservation area.
Water conservation in summer is required if drought conditions are prevalent...short showers please.
Please be aware this is a property to immerse yourself in nature & the surroundings, therefore there is no TV or Internet. There is a screen with an HDMI lead to plug in your device. Cell phone reception is excellent for hot spotting.
NO FIRES outside please. Tuateawa has been classed at extremely high risk of bush fires and for the last few summers, we have been placed in a total fire ban.

You will be responsible for any damage to the property or contents caused by you during your stay.

Magical Getaway

Beautifully situated in an area where NZ wildlife surrounds you in full privacy. The views are spectacular and the surrounding beaches are amazing - Boulder Bay was great for snorkeling and it had a lovely bush walk to get to. I highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a relaxing holiday away from their busy lives - never been more relaxed in my life ever!

A must stay!

We had a 2 night stay-Wendy helped us take our gear to the cabin, told us about the amenities, the surrounds etc Everything is there to stay very comfortably. Decor is cool and the view-magnificent. I couldn't/didn't want to sleep because the night sky was amazing. I can truly say, we loved it! Wanted to stay longer!

A "must book" listing

An absolutely perfect stay. It's a no-brainer to visit this charming and beautiful house in the hills. Well, only if you like very cool hosts, stunning views, a gorgeous vantage for many varieties of local birds, warm and colourful skies at sunset and an unpolluted view of the stars at night. We had a wonderful time- to say the least. I wish we lived closer. I'm going to do my darnedest to visit again! XoThanks a million for having us!

Fabulous break in the tree tops

Best view from the bed. Our hosts Pete and Wendy were absolutely gorgeous. We had the best time ever. Break from the hustle and bustle, loved being amongst the tree canopy and getting to know the local bird life. Property is immaculate, perfect place to wind down. This place doesn't disappoint and is way cooler than we expected. We loved it.

We had a wonderful stay. The weather was fine, the native birds were in song and the views were incredible. Host Peter was very accommodating. And the bed with a view was a highlight! Highly recommended.

We loved our stay here! The cabin has everything you could need for your stay. There is a short walk down to the beach nearby, with amazing rock pools at low tide. We were visited by Tūī, kererū and heard some kākā in the area!

Outstanding Views!

The views from this property are inanely good, like other reviews mentioned, the photos do not do it justice. Waking up with the sunrise over the ocean was one of the highlights of our trip. The roads getting to the property can be a little tricky to tackle with a small car, but absolutely worth it once you make it. We will definitely be coming back for a longer stay next time. Thank you Pete and Wendi for your lovely hospitality :)

A cozy hideaway--our favorite so far

We've been traveling in NZ a few weeks since we stayed at the cabin. It's definitely our favorite! The views are wonderful, and it was a perfect spot for birding. We heard the kiwis at night. The cabin was exactly as described. Perfect for two people. Kitchen had plenty of pots, pans and utensils for cooking. Loved the rocks and knickknacks throughout the house--a cozy hideaway all around.
