A cute modern stand alone tiny home sitting a top of 4 acres of land above the beach between Taipa and Cable Bay. Location is top of the list with this private well placed property, sporting the most spectacular views across Doubtless Bay, Taipa Beach and the Taipa river inlet. Working Holiday or Lovers Retreat,Soak up the warm summer rays during the day, catch the Sunset and stargaze across the open skies from the covered deck in the evening while listening for the Kiwi in the bush below. This gorgeous wee tiny home has full facilities with a Queen size bed in the bedroom and a seperate large Bed settee in the living area for a couple of the kids. Sign out of the electronic age if you choose for a time and hum along to a tune from the LP spinning on the record player. What better way to spend your time relaxing with a glass of wine or your choice of cool beverage on the deck while taking in all of this ambiance. What away to spend time with loved ones or working in a place with such an amazing view(unlimited portable wifi available).Wander a few metres down the paddock to the ever changing Lily Pond and relax while watching the Goldfish and the beautiful Lillies. There is plenty of room for the boat. Take a stroll down the palm lined driveway and you’re on the beach (2min walk). Just around the corner is the iconic Cable Bay Store - well renowned for their ice creams. There are several restaurants within close proximity if you feel like a night off from the BBQ. It’s like a whole other world in this private setting with another unique touch being that there is space for your Helicopter to land if this is your preferred method of travel. Strictly NO PETS allowed as this is a Kiwi Zone. IF there are friends of family please note there is another cabin on the same property to share the space we have linked this below. https://www.vrbo.com/en-nz/holiday-accommodation/p9746911?noDates=true&uni\_id=8830198 ## Property amenities ### Internet -
