The space
Escape to a tranquil haven just an easy 1 hour and 20 minutes from Auckland CBD, nestled in the serene Big Bay on the Awhitu Peninsula. Welcome to our exquisite Balinese-style retreat, a hidden gem designed for the ultimate romantic getaway and Zen experience. The property is part of an exclusive coastal subdivision, offering pedestrian access down to the beach.
This enchanting retreat is a secondary dwelling on our private property, located at the rear of our 3,983m2 section, with our new home at the front of the land with all living areas facing towards the sea and away from the small home. The driveway is shared between both dwellings, ensuring easy access.

Immerse yourself in the allure of our beautiful sanctuary, surrounded by swaying palm trees and landscaped grounds. The cozy abode accommodates up to 4 adults (one King size bed in separate bedroom and one divan in lounge), making it an ideal escape for couples seeking to rejuvenate their spirits.

Inside, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen for culinary adventures, a BBQ area for al fresco dining, and an outdoor fireplace with cooking facilities to enhance your culinary escapades. Unwind in the double hammock, basking in the tranquillity of your surroundings, or seek shade under the sun umbrella.

There is a private entertaining area at the end of the reflection pond, perfect for intimate moments or shared laughter. Additionally, a covered deck area off the main living space awaits you, equipped with clear roll-down screens for all-weather dining. Whether it's a sun-soaked day or a starlit night, relish the beauty of nature while indulging in delightful meals.

Across the Manukau Harbour you can see Sky Tower, Auckland city and Auckland airport. The planes are part of the landscape, however if you love flying away on holiday and like planes, this will not be a problem for you.

Take a refreshing dip in the nearby waters, try your hand at fishing, embark on scenic walks through the Awhitu Regional Park, or indulge in a round of golf. For beach enthusiasts, there are a number of choices and of course there is the raw and wild perfectly imperfect Hamilton's Gap offering beachcombing and other activities.

In close proximity, explore the charm of Awhitu Wines, where you can savour local flavours, or engage in the delightful experience of blueberry picking when in season. The choices are many, promising a getaway filled with serenity, adventure, and cherished moments.
Book your stay now and let the magic of Big Bay and the Awhitu Peninsula create unforgettable memories for you and your loved one.
