Tauhou Cabin - Ao Marama Retreat - Stunning Bush setting and Ocean Views

Secluded wooden double cabin in native bush with stunning views.

Listen to native bird song, watch stunning sunrises, and stargaze from lovely Tauhou cabin, at Ao Marama Retreat.

Tauhou is the Maori name for the native Wayeye birds which are abundant around the retreat.

The cabin itself is a double cabin of wood construction and built to minimise it s impact on the environment, with enough comforts to make your stay feel like a true escape.

Ao Marama Retreat in Golden Bay, New Zealand is a former Buddhist retreat set amongst 16 acres of Regenerating Native Bush. The retreat is nestled on a hill with sweeping views of the sparkling ocean below.

We have various lookout points and bush trails - one of which leads you directly down to Collingwood beach.

We strive to create a more sustainable form of tourism, and believe everyone has the right to travel the world but also a responsibility to reduce our impact on our planet. Our initiatives include:

- our water is all collected rain water

- we grow organic food in our extensive gardens

- have chickens for eggs

- reduce, recycle and re-use everything we can

Next step is to remove our dependance on the grid by installing a Solar and Solar PV system for our main home and cabins.

Golden Bay itself is a true nature lovers paradise - a unique blend of Mountains, Rivers, Bush and Ocean - and if you love the outdoors you will find what you want to do here - walking, cycling, mountain biking, swimming, kayaking, sailing, hunting, fishing. We can help arrange any of these activities.

Of course; if you just prefer to really unplug, slow down and enjoy nature you don t even have to leave the retreat - enjoy the beauty of nature and the bush from various lookout points, order an organic food pack to cook a lovely meal or do a yoga session on our viewing platform.

Come and be closer to nature.

All we were looking for and more

We loved the bush setting, the magnificent sunrises, the closeness to the beach & Milnthorpe Park and the tranquility/peacefulness of the Ao Marama Retreat. We would definitely recommend the Retreat to others. It was also lovely to be able to take our dog.

Peaceful surroundings and great views.

Peaceful surroundings and unprecedented views. However, a bit too pricey for a shared bathroom. A couple of other small improvements would make the world of difference such as bug screens on the cabin windows and hot running water in the kitchen to save the boiling of the jug for dishes. The outdoor kitchen was quirky. Only 5 minutes drive from Collingwood and a raft of other fabulous activities such as kayaking; hiking or going to the Takaka market (20 minutes) on a Saturday. The store in Bainham is also within 30 minutes drive and worth a look-in. The walk down to the beach was fabulous and the terrain unspoiled. The sunset from the deck was awesome. Wekas roamed about and everything was peaceful and relaxed. I felt healthy and rejuvenated, just taking in life as I sat in one of our private deck chairs on the lawn outside of our cabin.

Acerca del anfitrión

Anfitrión: Duan and Elizabeth

Foto de perfil del anfitrión
We are a family who loves our planet.

Both originally from New Zealand (Papakura and Bluff) we met in London where our three kids were born.

After living overseas for 20 years, and seeing many amazing places and cultures we decided to return to New Zealand to create an experience for people who love to travel yet reduce their impact on the world in which we live.

Or even reverse some of it.

We have become far more interested and concerned in the state of our planet and have recently been studying Permaculture, Solar Power, Organic gardening and Bee-keeping - and want to implement our little knowledge and gain a lot more.

This is the beginning of a new journey for us and we welcome you to come and spend time with us in this special corner of the Earth.

Duan and Elizabeth

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

Between us we have been very lucky to travel to many amazing countries including Lebanon, Libya, Viet-Nam, Nepal, Cuba, Ethiopia, Japan and Namibia and have always been inspired by the cultures but equally the places that we have stayed at and the people we have stayed with.

We have long dreamt of creating an experience that we shape based on all of these different places we have seen - and started looking for a suitable property in the last few years.

From old farms in Morocco to in-need-of-love Lodges in Spain and Boutique Vineyards the search eventually brought us all the way back home and Ao Marama more than fulfilled our criteria as a starting point and we now want to build upon the amazing effort by former owners and occupants.

From the stunning regenerating bush setting, the absolutely stunning view across the Bay and the indescribable vibe of the place - it was very quickly apparent that this place had something different from anything else we had seen.

We want everyone to arrive excited and leave rested and inspired and hopefully ever so slightly enriched.

And now the journey begins...
