About this property
Waikare Waters - Luxury Cabin Complex in a private wilderness and waterway.
Magic off-grid luxury cabin complex on your exclusively private peninsula in the Waikare Inlet headwaters of the Bay of Islands. Magnificent nature walks, fishing, kayaking (BYO) or just a secluded refuge - all only 10km from the tourist attractions and facilities of Russell.
You occupy exclusively a cabin complex of four units linked by covered decks around a carport outdoor space. These provide lovely and comfortable holiday "Glamping" accommodation for a couple with a TV lounge that can be configured as a second bedroom with two full size single beds or a king double.
Hot water, stove and barbecue via gas. Somewhat limited electricity is via solar panels and batteries with a petrol generator if needed.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Alan Wilkinson
My chequered career includes scientist, computer programmer, university lecturing, consultancy, company director, amateur politician and family man. Now "retired" in nearby Russell with wife, step-daughter, several dogs and some horses we have interests in two holiday rentals, an art gallery and a landscaping business. I turn my hand to most things from bed making to electronics, plumbing and gorse spraying. I enjoy creating things and the natural world and I love seeing our guests happy and enjoying their break in our beautiful places.
Why they chose this property
We originally bought this block after taking a walk on it and seeing its beautiful bush and adjacent waters. We had previously bought two blocks on the other side of the road initially to house our landscaping business.
After the GFC we decided to build the "simple" off-grid cabin complex so that others could also enjoy this place and it could pay its way. As you will find, off-grid is not so simple at all and has quite a few clever little wrinkles to make everything work for you.

What makes this property unique
Your own nature park and pristine waterway, ancient twisted mangroves, old puriri trees, a couple of big kauri, kilometres of bush walks, fishing and oyster gathering. Peace, solitude, wildlife and yes, you can bring your well-behaved dog.
