About this property

Hahei Tree Top Retreat

The Top House sits on the highest point of our property, nestled amongst beautiful mature Pohutukawa's and tropical gardens. At this point I would like to make you aware that there are about 40 steps up to The Top House. My mum likes to call them the stairway to heaven but if you don't like stairs it may be the stairway to hell!

It boasts all day sun. The front deck looks towards the gorgeous island views of Hahei and provides guests with the first sun of the day, perfect for having your breakfast or morning coffee. The back deck looks over bush and rural views and enjoys the afternoon sun - perfect for late afternoon drinks.

The Top House is an easy downhill 5-10 minute walk to the beach. Hahei Beach is so beautiful - it is often called the Pink Beach because of the number of ground shells that gives it that beautiful pink tinge - it has the nicest sand of all the Coromandel beaches! There are many sprawling Pohutukawa that line the beach front that provide shelter from the sun.

Cathedral Cove walking track is a 15 minute walk from the Top House. We do have other walks in the area that are fantastic and go to beautiful beaches such as Lonely Bay. You can also go to Cathedral Cove with Cathedral Cove Kayaks or the Cathedral Cove Water Taxi and our local boat operator Hahei Explorer will visit the Cove during its tour of the coastline.

Hahei has a small village shopping area which caters to most of holiday makers needs. A well stocked general store, two restaurants, take aways, an ice cream parlour, cafe, gift shop and delicatessen. We also have an amazing dive school, kayak tours and boat rides all available in our village.

Hot Water Beach is a 10 minute drive away, and is a stunning beach as well. Of course you can dig your hot pool here at low tide, but it is the most beautiful beach for walking along - much more open and rugged than Hahei. This is the beach to go to if you enjoy surfing. It also has two options for eating - Hot Waves is open during the day and Hotties provides evening dining right on the beach.

The beaches don't just stop here - they keep going all the way to the ferry - a beach suitable for any age or activity - all within 15 minutes drive. There are a variety of different eating establishments within this drive such as the beautiful Mercury Estate Vineyard open for lunch, The Hive nestled in amongst kiwi fruit vines provides relaxed dining during the day and evening.

Come and enjoy the peace and tranquility of our small village which also provides enough action and activities for any age group.

Amazing Bach!
This little Hahei bach was a slice of heaven. We went there to celebrate my birthday and it was the perfect place. Beautifully set up and very clean. Sitting up high in the trees with an ocean view was wonderful. I cannot recommend this place enough and Jane our host was so generous. We will definitely be back!

The perfect getaway!
We stayed for 10 days and it was just perfect. The house is in such a special spot secluded under some native trees over looking the bay. The house was very clean, tidy and had everything you need to be comfortable. Its just a short walk to one of the best beaches in Coromandel. Thank you so much!

Magical hideaway up in the trees and close to everything
We absolutely loved this place! Hahei is a great little beach town and this place gives you quick access to the beach, the little town, and everything all around the peninsula. You could stay closer to the beach, but honestly this was much better. We walked down to the market and a couple restaurants and it was nice to be up in the trees in such a beautiful place. The place is well equipped with what you need (including laundry). Wait until you see the view from the deck. Amazing!

Don't go anywhere else!
The pictures don't do this place justice. It's the most tastefully decorated rental we've ever stayed in. Beautiful furniture, full of lovely indoor plants, linen sheets, comfy bed...the list goes on. Really well designed too - can open the front and back fully to make it feel like your outdoors. View is spectacular. And the garden path leading to the house is like a Balinese forest. Obviously very well cared for. Water pressure in the shower was a bit unstable but nothing to worry about. Wifi signal only reached the front of the house so a range extender would be helpful. These are very minor things so still a 9.5 out of 10!!!

Stunning property in gorgeous location
The Top House is a beautiful property and the host is very helpful and responsive. The view from the house is amazing and waking up to a gorgeous sunrise each morning was spectacular. The house is really well designed and furnished, with full kitchen and some basics in the pantry. A short walk down a steep hill gets you into town. Highly recommend!

Stunning Treetop hideaway
We highly recommend this property, it's high in the lush trees with a stunning beach view. Beautiful attention to details in decorating, linen, bathroom products and fresh flowers, you instantly feel relaxed. Everything you need was provided to cook and well located to go out and quick drive to the beach. The owner was super friendly and excellent in communication, we will most definitely be back.

Haven in Hahei
Immaculately clean with gorgeous views over Hahei, this two bedroom apartment style Bach has plenty of room, indoor/outdoor flow and two decks to enjoy a bbq and the views from. The hosts were lovely and answered our every question promptly. I would recommend this for a quiet secluded break in the Coromandel. It is extremely close to the Cathedral Cove walk which we loved, no problems with parking or traffic! We had a lovely stay.

Fabulous get away
Awesome stay at this lovely home. Fabulous communication with Jane. Jane’s place was just as pictured - with lovely extras like quality linen, Ecoya products throughout and everything we needed to cook & look after ourselves for our 3 night stay. Great location, with amazing views. Small issue with wi-fi connection & cellular coverage but that just encouraged us to take further advantage of oyr get away! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return.

Holiday at Hahei
It was a great stay. The property is very well appointed and is well positioned - is a 30 - 40 minute walk to Cathedral Cove with nice places on the way for swimming or snorkelling. It has a beautiful view out to the ocean and the owners are easy to deal with and are very helpful. We will be back.
