About this property

Tropical Hideaway 150 meters from the beach.

This tropical setting is sure to impress. It’s incredibly peaceful, and you can truly unwind here. The bird life is prolific. The beach is only 150 meters along the flat driveway. You are only minutes away from the Tutukaka Marina and some of the world's most beautiful beaches. The Poor Knights marine reserve has to be seen and the Whangarei Falls are pretty stunning too. Lots to do on the coast or simply find a beach and relax.
This is a one-bedroom unit with a private entrance and patio. It's fully self-catering and has everything you could need. And the spa pool is to die for!

Our hosts Emma and Glen are very welcoming and friendly and felt like family after the first hearfelt welcome. The property and amenities were much more than we expected, quiet, cosy, beautiful and perfect for a break. Spa pool is big and perfect to unwind in after a day of sightseeing. Well situated and close to restaurants. Look forward to booking our next getaway with them and will recommend to friends and family.
