About this property

Kākā Ridge Retreat Bush Hideaway

Cute studio guesthouse with a generous deck surrounded by bush. Relax at this unique and tranquil rustic getaway. Main house is 10 metres away but studio has privacy and lovely bush views. The Bush Hideaway is small with Queen bed but has everything you need for a quiet few days of 'glamping'. Access to the brand new bathroom is via the deck not from inside the studio.

The studio has been built at the back of our garage which is completely separate from the house, about ten metres away. The studio is about 21 sq metres and the deck is of a similar size. A large gate at the end of the deck provides visual privacy from the house. The outlook is lovely. We provide linen, towels, tea towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, dishwashing liquid, tea, coffee, milk, oil, salt & pepper. The kitchenette includes a microwave / convection oven, toaster, kettle, plunger coffee pots. A BBQ on the deck provides the means to cook a simple meal.

The windows and doors have insect screens and we put up a mosquito net over the bed during the summer months. The heat pump will keep you cosy in winter and cool in summer as needed.

We’re an hour from Auckland, five minutes from the Tāwharanui Regional Park and 15 minutes from the Matakana Village - easy access to the weekend markets, restaurants, cafes, boutique shops and a cinema complex.

Quiet retreat
This is a cute little place to have a quiet time away. Very close to the regional park for walks and beach time too. Lots of lovely birds around and cosy and warm inside if heading there in winter.

About the host

Hosted by KatherineFa3

Host profile image
My husband John and I moved from Auckland city to the Tāwharanui Peninsula in 2015. We love it here and have never missed city living once!

Prior to living in Tāwharanui John and I had corporate careers in telecommunications and project management. We still do consulting work from home and travel to Auckland for work from time to time.

Why they chose this property

We love the peace and quiet and the abundance of bush and birds. We built the bush hideaway studio specifically for short term rental in late 2021.

What makes this property unique

Lovely bush views, wonderful bird life, privacy and a 15 minute drive to Matakana Village or five minutes the other way to Tāwharanui Regional Park. The studio is small and rustic but fully equipped for travellers looking for privacy, seclusion, and the beauty of nature. There is so much to do here and it's classic New Zealand.
