About this property
Woody Mamaku Retreat . Eco stay close to sea and nature.
Take time to enjoy a cool forest, bird song , frogs and the 10 minute walk down a quiet road to the golden sands of Ligar Bay and after, a secluded soak in an outdoor bath , big enough for two with a beautiful view.
Woody Mamaku Retreat is an unique and enlivening indoor and outdoor accommodation on the edge of secluded kanuka forest.
The cabin is a c.1950 steel kiln controller room lined in beautiful cypress from locally grown trees with views through a park like setting to the bay and beyond. This comfy room with double bed is connected to a small sunny front deck and a semi covered back porch kitchen with four gas burners, a small fridge,cutlery, cooking utensils, plates etc etc. A hot shower, an out door bath and a separate compost toilet 5 metres up the path. Built in local macrocarpa timber the back porch, toilet and front deck have a natural woody character.
It is off the grid , gas and solar powered with 4min eco showers to conserve spring water. There is very limited mobile phone coverage at the cabin but is fine at the beach.
By car its
5 minutes toTarakohe Harbour and rock climbing cliffs.
7 mins to Pohara cafes and bars.
15 mins to Takaka township
10 - 15 mins to Abel Tasman track and Wainui Falls.
Duvet, sheets, towels etc provided . (Please provide sheets if using massage oils in the bed thanks.l.
No pets . No smoking .
Minimum 2 night stay.
