About this property

The Cape View Pacific Ocean Experience

True experience seekers will love living on the edge of the Pacific Ocean in a recently refurbished and fully insulated double glazed tiny home aka The Cape View Shed. Set in a quiet beachfront residential location exuding seaside charm with a magnificent view of Hawke Bay and an uninterrupted view of Cape Kidnappers.

Capture the sun and moon rising while relaxing in the cedar hot tub which is chlorine free and uses a spa treatment containing colloidal silver. On occasion witness a seal sunbathing or a pod of dolphins swimming out at sea.

The Cape View Shed is a light filled space with open plan living/sleeping with a separate bathroom with twin Italian basins, one for washing dishes and one for personal hygiene both with modern gooseneck taps. Suited for maximum of two guests. The accommodation provides a queen size bed and a small single divan bed. Kitchenette with microwave and fridge only. Smart TV. External caravan plug. Macrocarpa decking areas are for your sole use as is the Weba BBQ. You are welcome to use the fire pit also. Two bikes are available on request at time of booking to explore the coast via the cycle paths.

Approximately 700 metres to Elephant Hill winery. Also very close to Clearview and Te Awanga Estate Wineries. A two minute walk to the Brown Dog Coffee Cart, Four Square, Gannets Bar & Grill and Capeview takeaways.

The accommodation also has the Cape View Cottage located on the site, being the owners private holiday home. When the cottage is in use the Cape View Shed is made unavailable on the website to ensure your privacy. The cottage has separate outdoor areas to the roadside lawn and verandas to the seaside which you are welcome to enjoy also. Your privacy is our priority.

The property is fully fenced and gated with off street parking. Visit the Gannet Sanctuary or play golf at Cape Kidnappers. The fact the Cape View Shed is excitingly close to the Pacific Ocean is the magic of the place. You will hear the sea and at times the sea can be wild.

The outdoor areas are elevated above the stoney beach and are protected by a big sea wall which is a handy spot to fish from. There is access down to the waterfront which you can walk along in low tide.

This is a holiday experience out of the ordinary.

A wonderful sanctuary.

Wow, what a wonderful sanctuary, listening to the waves, watching the full orange moon rise, star gazing and the stunning sunrise...Bliss. The binoculars, kindly supplied, were an added bonus to seeing further afield. So much to see and do in the area. We had the best weekend and will be back. Thank you Jane.

The uniqueness was being right on the shore, have the waves crashing all the time, sometimes a bit scary at high tide. But I did really enjoy this unique experience. Enjoyed the hot tub and the fantastic sunrises 🌅.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

The Cape View was a perfect stop on our trip through New Zealand. Being right on the water, the sound of the ocean waves made for a soothing and relaxing break after several days of hectic travel and activities. The hot tub offered that extra opportunity to unwind after the bike ride along the coast to Clive. The accommodations were spotless and well-equipped. Our hosts, Jane and Mark, were extremely responsive and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Our only regret is that we only booked for 2 nights.

Just awesome!

We had a wonderful time at the bach! Beautiful location with an amazing view right on the beach. Totally private and cosy. Loved the little touches. Great communication with hosts. We even managed a spot of fishing over the sea wall! Highlight was definitely the hot tub on a cold wintery night. Thank you so much! Will definitely be back one day.

Loved the Hot Tub and view/outdoor space

The hot tub was a godsend as I was in HB to do some rental property garden maintenance which included a couple long hard days of work so being able to soak the muscles each evening with a wonderful sea view was awesome. Jane provided great communication and being able to bring our 2 schnauzers along was wonderful. The accomodation was petite but nicely presented, warm, and right on the beach front - it definitely works when you make use of the large outdoor area overlooking the coastline - the only down for me was not having a proper kitchen setup with sink - having said that the simple food prep and microwave/kettle/toaster/fridge space was perfectly adequate if you intend too be out a lot or live on the BBQ during your stay. Thanks for a lovely stay.

About the host

Hosted by Jane Fitzgerald

My husband Mark and I love to travel. We are now enjoying our own country and after having traveled the South Island October/November 2020 we found out what we desired in holiday accommodation so we have tried our best to deliver in a small space what we hope you will appreciate also. We wish you to discover for yourselves the enjoyment to be found here. Fondly known by family and the locals as The Cape View Shed. A great base for a getaway.
