About this property
Seaside Kiwiana Stay with Rustic Path to the Beach
A beachfront holiday apartment in a Kiwiana Bach style, located in a forest setting in a private corner of our unique harbourside home. All the advantages of a stay in nature with the comfort of nice beds, linen & stylish bathroom.
There is a beach at the boundary, only 20 meters away via our rambling path in a native bush setting. Only 180 steps down to the beach.
The Apartment is recently renovated and features a great indoor-outdoor flow, linking to a charming orchard.
The space:
Inside the suite consists of three spacious rooms: a bedroom with a queen bed, a bathroom and a living room with a kitchenette for food prep ready for the outdoor BBQ. A king single bed and a roll out single is sectioned off in the living room.
Step onto the covered veranda where you will find the outdoor kitchen and seating area (gas grill and electric induction hob).. The studio is newly renovated and has its own small hot water cylinder.
Guest access:
Enjoy the exclusive use of the guest studio. Take advantage of the households path to the beach and citrus orchard. However, the upper garden and main house are out of bounds. The onsite parking links to the suite with good lighting and level access. Feel free to come and go anytime but be mindful of noise at night.
Other things to note:
ALL COOKING IN THE OUTDOOR KITCHEN
The beach is an unpatrolled public beach. Reef shoes are recommended. Best swimming is within 2 hrs of high tide.
Good shore fishing.
No daily maid service. Linen change and cleaning by negotiation.
A starter pantry including hot drinks, cooking oil, seasoning, and snacks is included with each stay.
