About this property
Rustic cabin, sea views, deck, bbq, kayak/SUP, wifi, 2 mins walk to beach, pets
Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. Enjoy the native bird song and garden, overlooking the beautiful lagoon of Enclosure bay, with beach 2 minutes walk away. Stunning views out to Great Barrier and Coromandel. Perfect couples or solo retreat, back to nature.
Complimentary use of kayak and Standup paddle board, available for you to explore the bay or coast. BBQ with a view.
Relax with a coffee, and enjoy the views from the new, comfortable queen bed. Sit at the breakfast bar inside and watch what's going on in the bay. Dine outdoors on the deck, after BBQing your meal, or drive 10 -15 minutes to award winning wineries, restaurants and cafes.
The kitchenette also includes a single induction cooktop with saucepan, toaster, kettle, Nespresso coffee machine and microwave.
Rinse off in the gas heated, outdoor shower, whilst enjoying the view. We use a eco composting toilet system which is new, clean and fresh for each stay. The toilet is 4 metres from the main cabin, out from the back door.
The cabin is about an 80 metre walk up from the bottom of the section where you can park. So you will need to be able to walk up the hill, it's not very steep, and affords you the great views while being only a minute or two from the waters edge.
McKenzie Reserve is our local, regenerating bush walking track. Many other coastal and forest day walks are nearby. We are also on the Te Ara Hura national walking track.
Enclosure bay is a well kept secret, one of the quieter Northern coast beaches, just a minute or two from the cabin. Enjoy a swim, snorkel or kayak, you might get to meet our resident octopus if you're lucky. Waiheke is home to numerous vineyards, a local brewery, Saturday arts and crafts market, with many culinary delights to discover. Sandy bay is a few more minutes walk away, just along the road. Palm Beach is a larger, more populated beach, about a ten minute drive away, or 30 minute walk. Palm beach shop can provide you with icecream and restaurant Arcadia available for some lunch and evening meals.
It's only a 10-15 minute drive to gorgeous wineries with restaurants such as award wining Casita Miro. Mudbrick, Cable Bay. The Heke is Waiheke's own boutique brewery. Another highly rated restaurant, 372, you'll find at Onetangi Beach, 12 minutes drive away.
The stars look better from Waiheke. We are in a mostly unlit neighbourhood so the stargazing is fantastic on a clear night.
