Bush paradise close to Auckland

A wonderful find surrounded by beautiful bush. Inside a airy space, stylishly designed with thoughtful touches. Every window frames the surrounding bush and the outdoor shower, bath and spa make it feel like a magical retreat. Better than I could have imagined.

Amazing Spot!

Amazing spot, close to Matakana but also very private. Hot tub and outdoor bath/shower are amazing and fire and projector inside was a great addition to the house. Would definitely stay again!
