A Sanctuary Surrounded by Nature

Set within a coastal sanctuary rich in native birdlife—including the rare and iconic Kiwi—The Guesthouse is the perfect place to reconnect with nature. Explore the property by day and stargaze at night under clear Northland skies.

The private cove is a natural playground, offering more than just sandy shores:

  • Rock pools teeming with marine life

  • Rugged headlands and dramatic coastal scenery

  • Opportunities to swim, kayak, snorkel, or fish

With a little luck, you might even share the waters with a pod of dolphins.

Location: Perfect for Exploring Northland

Guest Reviews

“The photos don’t do this place justice. It’s fabulous with a stunning view surrounded by beautiful bush. The hosts are very hospitable and really made us feel welcome. I hope to stay here again in the future. A very special place and perfectly located if you are planning a visit to the Hundertwasser Art Centre.”
