Ask a questionAbout Michael
My name is Michael and my partner is Kate. My family have been coming to Kawau Island since the early 1970's.
Michael purchased this House in 1975
Why Michael chose Kawau Island
Kawau Island is the jewel in the crown of the Hauraki Gulf and yet many people are unaware of its existence. It is very accessible from Auckland City; 1:30 minutes drive to Sandspit and then approximately 30 minutes by ferry to our wharf which is right in front of the house. You can be relaxing in complete tranquility within 3 hours from leaving home. There are no roads or cars on Kawau Island. Please see: kawauisland.org website for more information.
What makes this House unique
Staying in this architectural designed pole-house will be a large part of your Kawau experience. You live at treetop level with the birds while being right above the water. It was designed by architect Mason Pepper and built circa 1975 . The house is of timber construction lined with matai and douglas fir.
