About this property

Rustic Cabin Getaway - simple luxury with cosy loft bed, outdoor fire and bath

This beautiful cabin with its simple luxury, is the perfect bush retreat for busy city dwellers seeking a relaxing getaway and perfect as a base while you explore the local forest and beaches.

A plush loft Queen bed is described as 'dreamy' and 'cosy' - and especially important - comfy!

Step out into the garden under the tree canopy and soak under the stars - or greet the sun in the large outdoor bath. Sweet peas and wildflowers in summer, native plants all year round, birdsong from dawn til dusk, relax & enjoy!

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Derham

Host profile image
We live on the edge of the Waitakere Ranges Forest, formed by ancient volcanoes, close to some really famous West Coast NZ beaches. I love hosting because I love being a guest! I take a real pleasure leaving the cabin ready for our guests.

Why they chose this property

The cabin is set on our acre, separated from the main home by a mature bush screen. We love to sit on the deck and enjoy the view of the garden - seeing what our next jobs are in it! I love the local beaches, the forests, the rocky cliffs down the road at Huia, the village of Titirangi, a 10 minute drive away, with gorgeous cafes, restaurant bars, the bakery, takeaways, gallery AND theatre. There's so much bird life here and we have families of birds nesting each year. At night I love to have a hot outdoor bath under a dark enough sky to enjoy the stars. If you fancy a city fix, we are only 40 minutes from the Auckland viaduct harbour.

What makes this property unique

It's a solid, creative build with driftwood from stairs to ceiling to keep you safe as you climb to a cosy, romantic loft bed with skylight. The composting toilet (literally a bucket under a proper fitted toilet seat) reflects that we want to ‘close the loop’ where we can and step a little lighter. It's all very civilised with sawdust and essential oils to sweeten the deal. The doors open out across the front and the view takes in the large garden, lots of trees, the ridge beyond and the moon at night. There's an outdoor fire to toast marshmallows over. Tūī, Kererū, More-pork, Fantails, Waxeyes - birds big and small are all around. It has full wifi to suit a little out of the office work, or for downloading your photos of the place on Insta (😉)and catching up with your favourite shows.
