Fantastic beachfront spot with a stunning panoramic ocean view towards the famous Poor Knights Islands. Brand new holiday home built down a quiet lane surrounded by lush native bush

The space
Down the end of a private lane, situated on a large sloping property right onto the beach. With only a few visible neighbours around, this property has such peace and quiet you can hear the birds singing all day long.
The view is breathtaking, especially with the sun rising over the water directly in front of the house which you can watch from bed!
The architecturally-designed Studio was only completed earlier this year so has all the luxury mod-cons and everything you need. A sealed driveway and carpark for 1 car enables easy access to this single-level house, however there is one set of stairs down to the house.
The ocean front Studio has 1 bedroom with a King size bed (can be split into twin singles; please request), reclining armchair, clothes rack and drawers, heatpump/air-con, and smart TV (with Freeview, Netflix, Spotify, etc).
There is a sliding wall between the bedroom and open-plan kitchenette where you will find a dining table and chairs, fridge, microwave/convection-oven, toaster & kettle including complimentary tea, coffee, fruit, cereal/muesli, milk.
Another sliding wall opens up to our artists workspace with adjustable couch, extra wardrobe, and large desk where artists are welcome to be creative!
Selection of artists works available for sale; please enquire.
There is one bathroom including shower, toilet, and a separate laundry with washer-dryer and extra bed linen/blankets/pillows.
The house is surrounded with decking and plenty of outdoor furniture such as table & chairs and your very own private outdoor shower! There is also a large shared grass area and Weber BBQ.

NOTE: If considering to bring infants or children, you must discuss with us first about suitability and safety.

Please be aware the Retreat next door may be rented separately by other guests, or if you would like to book it for extra space/guests please contact us.

Guest access
The Retreat and Studio will both have access to our unique outdoor hot-water bath with wooden screens for privacy... Gorgeous spot for those romantic nights with your partner (or maybe just some 'you time'). PLEASE NOTE this may not be available due to water restrictions during peak Summer season. Please enquire about availability before you arrive.
There is a private path to the beach currently under construction, but there is a great public walkway already available off the main road. The beach itself has a black sand/pebble shore with lots of great rocks to walk or snorkel around. Even though this is a public beach, it is never overly crowded. Plenty of tree shade and there's even a small freshwater waterfall!
You will also have access to our bodyboard, snorkelling gear and beach towels.

Other things to note
Getting to the property will be tricky unless you have a car. The closest airport/bus stop is in Whangarei city which is about 45 minutes drive from the Airbnb. Unfortunately there is no public transport to the coast and a taxi will cost a fair bit!
Once you are at at the coast, there is a local shuttle service to take you anywhere around the Tutukaka Coast area for $5. They can also be booked in advance for pick-up and drop-off to Whangarei for an extra charge. (coastal commuter)

Please note there is limited shopping once you are out on the coast so we highly recommend you do your main grocery shopping in Whangarei city. However, there are a couple of stores here which have the basics, and a selection of restaurants nearby so you won't go hungry!
