About this property
Kiwi cabin in paradise
Escape to the peace and beauty of Wainui Valley Rural Retreat, just 10 minutes from stunning Ōhope Beach. Kiwi Cabin is our only cabin with its very own private outdoor spa bath the perfect place to soak under the stars, or watch both the sunrise and moonrise as they light up the valley.
Our adults-only retreat is designed for relaxation and connection, with sweeping rural views and plenty of space to unwind. Wake to birdsong, stroll through the gardens, or set off directly from our driveway onto some of the Bay of Plenty’s best cycle trails. After a day of adventure, head into Ōhope to enjoy its beautiful beach and excellent restaurants. For thrill-seekers, we also work with a local helicopter operator to arrange breathtaking flights over the coastline.
Each of our three cabins is separated by lush New Zealand native bush, ensuring complete privacy. Along the way you may meet our free-range chickens, a couple of friendly cows, or Bo our golden Labrador who loves to say hello.
If you’d like to mingle, our common room offers comfy chairs and classic games to share with other guests. And if you’re celebrating a special occasion, let us know — we’d be delighted to add an extra touch to make your stay even more memorable.
Whether it’s a weekend escape or a longer holiday, Kiwi Cabin offers privacy, scenery, and experiences to create unforgettable memories.

About the host
Hosted by Philip Whitaker
Kia ora, we’re Philip and Barbara, and we feel very lucky to call the Bay of Plenty home. We love the peace, beauty, and wide-open views of Wainui Valley, and hosting gives us the chance to share that with others.
What we enjoy most is seeing our guests relax, whether it’s soaking in the outdoor bath, exploring the cycle trails, or sitting on the veranda watching the sunrise or moonrise over the valley. We also love adding little touches for special occasions, and our golden Labrador, Bo, is always happy to greet new friends.
For us, hosting isn’t just about providing a place to stay, it’s about helping create memories you’ll take home with you.

What makes this property unique
Wainui Valley Rural Retreat is unique for its blend of privacy, nature, and comfort. Each of our three adults-only cabins is tucked among New Zealand native bush, so guests enjoy complete seclusion with wide open valley views. From the veranda, you can watch both the sunrise and the moonrise, or relax in an outdoor bath under a starlit sky.
Guests often tell us they love the little touches — meeting Bo, our friendly golden Labrador, being greeted by our chickens and cows, and having the choice between total privacy or spending time in the shared common room with comfy chairs and games. Add in the cycle trails that begin right at our driveway, Ōhope’s beaches and restaurants just 10 minutes away, and the option of helicopter flights over the coastline, and it all adds up to a retreat that’s truly one of a kind.
