About this property
Sunny house in sheltered bay, great views, classic kiwi ambience
Capturing all-day sun, this two-level bach conversion to spacious home boasts superb views over Huia Bay and mountains, and a stroll to the beach and local cafe (closed Xmas/New Year). Our street featured in The Brokenwood Mysteries series, for its lovely scenic backdrop and heritage values.
An art deco-modernist fusion, this bespoke house has strong visual appeal and is equally comfortable. Located in a quiet cul de sac community, you can live like the 1950s and sleep deeply, breakfast with native tui at your window.
Kitchen cabinetry original but modern appliances and well equipped for entertaining friends and family in multiple indoor/outdoor living and dining spaces.
Top quality beds and linen, spacious master bedroom with chic dressing room attached.
Open plan office/reading room with unlimited fibre broadband. Garden and native bush for kids to play, extra sleeping or pets by arrangement plus motorhome hook-up and easy electric car charging.
Bush hikes, beaches, bike, kayak, fish, relax to your heart's content. Great for self-care after a hard year.

About the host
Hosted by Jade Reidy
Hi, my name is Jade and I'm an experienced host. I used to vacation rent a previous house but now have this new vacation listing on vrbo.
I'm a freelance writer and arts project manager, which explains all the books and art you'll find in the house. My wanderlust has taken me to 46 countries on five continents, and I find people endlessly fascinating. In stay-home mode, I'm still developing this place as a productive organic orchard and garden.

Why they chose this property
LAST CHANCE for 20% discount. Only available for first 3 bookings. Two gone already.
This is a great place for self-care and to relax. You can feel at home surrounded by nature. It's so peaceful and comfortable, the kids can free range and you can easily keep your work going in a dedicated, well-set-up office area - or ignore it! Plenty of room to entertain family and friends over the holiday period. Superbly well-equipped, great beds and natural linens. Organic vegetables from the garden. What's not to like?

What makes this property unique
Unique opportunity to stay and play in a 48,000ha regenerating native forest surrounded by beaches, bays and vistas. Close to the city but a world apart.
