Guest house in Karangahake
Casa Tavaita oozes with creativity, character and charm offering rustic, cabin-style accommodation.
On the doorstep of the Hauraki rail trail, swimming holes and walks, Tavaita Cottage is the perfect place to explore Hauraki.
With flexibility around numbers, our accommodation is suitable for couples, family escapes, and friends as a base to explore the wonderful outdoors or a place to just relax and enjoy the beauty of our surroundings
PLEASE READ LISTING DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING
Please be aware that our cabins are not made to the standard of a house, some of the finishing touches are rough and unconventional.
Located next to the main house, Tavaita cottage, made up of basic cabins, consisting of 3 spaces
The main lounge and adjoining cabin is fitted with a wood burner and/or Oil heater. Its bi-fold doors open out to a patio and garden area with a small Weber BBQ, picnic table and chiminea to enjoy the long summer evenings.
Next to the lounge, our loft cabin has 2 single beds and a mezzanine accessed via a ladder with a double bed.
An adjoining lean-to functions as a kitchenette and includes a fridge, Kettle, Toaster, a double induction stove, microwave and washing-up sink. ( Please note that the kitchen has no heating)
The Bula Room Cabin is tastefully furnished with a queen-size bed and an oil heater for heating.
Please note: We will only make the beds up for the number of people staying so please request your bed configuration when booking.
Bookings of 4 people require 2 people to share a bed. If you wish to use all 4 beds there will be an additional bed-making charge of $15
The charming toilet and shower room can be accessed through the back of the kitchen and across the uncovered deck.
The back deck is screened for complete privacy and has a restored claw foot bath where you can enjoy bathing in serenity under the stars.
Tavaita Cottage is fully equipped with crockery and utensils for up to 6 people. We will provide plunger coffee, a selection of teas, milk, and sugar for your stay
There is a small selection of books and board games to enjoy. Linen is provided.
