Simple Pleasures- Slow down and enjoy what matters most.

Welcome to Simple Pleasures, a cosy coastal cabin just a short walk from Waiotahe Beach.

This is a place to slow down.

To sleep in without an alarm.
To make coffee, sit on the deck, and let the morning stretch out.
To walk to the beach when you feel like it, not because you have somewhere to be.

Simple Pleasures is about stepping away from the noise of everyday life and settling into something easier. A small, comfortable space designed for rest, connection, and unhurried days by the coast.

Inside, you’ll find a relaxed open-plan living space with a kitchenette, comfortable lounge, smart TV, Wi-Fi, and a dining area for two. Everything you need, nothing you don’t.

Step outside and you’ll find a private deck made for slow mornings and quiet evenings, along with an outdoor shower and a detached bathroom with hot water.

The beach is just a short 7-minute walk away — close enough for a morning swim, an evening stroll, or a moment to watch the sun go down.

Simple Pleasures is not about luxury or excess. It’s about space to breathe, time to reconnect, and the simple rhythm of coastal living.

Important – Damage Deposit

To ensure coverage for any incidental damages or additional costs during your stay, Bush to Bay Holiday Stays requires a $250 pre-authorisation hold on your credit card, taken two days prior to check-in.

This is not an actual charge. The funds are simply reserved and will be released after check-out, provided the property is left in good condition and no additional charges apply. Release times may vary depending on your bank’s processing time.

If the pre-authorisation cannot be successfully completed prior to check-in, the reservation may be cancelled in accordance with our booking terms and no refund will be issued.
