Peaceful Ocean facing Island Escape
Our Beach house is in an idyllic subtropical location on Kawau Island. After you hop off the ferry at Schoolhouse Bay we are only 5 minutes walk up the hill from the wharf which is so handy. You can swim and fish at the wharf and there is safe swimming at schoolhouse Bay and other bays such as ladies bay around the island. Once you are at the house you can relax on the deck while enjoying the fantastic views of the harbour. The house is very private as it is surrounded by bush. So quiet and peaceful and it is a treat to listen to many different native birds. Mansion House the historical former home of Sir Governor Grey New Zealandās first Governor is half an hour walk away through the bush and you can also explore places like ladies bay and the old coppermine lookout. We have a mooring available at Harris Bay just let me know if you would like to use this. Special conditions: Please do not use the spa pool as we have limited water and we are unable to maintain the spa pool hygienically. It is also a hazard if children are visiting our house if water is left in the spa pool. There are no rubbish collection facitities on Kawau Island. so please be aware that you will have to take your rubbish off the island with you. At sandspit wharf there are large skips and recyle bins you can use in a rubbish enclosure . The code to get into the enclosure is C018Y. Our house is a 5 minute walk up the hill from the Schoolhouse Bay Wharf. You will need to carry your food and bags the 5 minutes up the hill . If this is going to be difficult for you please let me know and if someone is available when you arrive I can try and arrange for you to get a ride up to the house. Please note there is not always someone available. You can borrow the trolley from the wharf but please take it back to the wharf .. Thanks and have a great time!

Great stay in Kawau island
Communication was great with Sally. The house is very clean, and we enjoyed the view from the deck. The house has everything we need. The locals are very friendly; a big shout to Noam, who gave us lifts to the house.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend Sally's house to others.

Awesome Stay - Will be Back
Kawau is Awesome - The house was awesome (better than expected), immaculately clean, with everything you need. The views were amazing, the locals were top notch.
The Host was great to deal with, very well organised with people to take our gear to the house, and for people to contact for different things. if needed.
Definitely will be coming back.

Spectacular Location
Access to property is a bit awkward and some of the appliances dated (dish-drawer didn't work, couldn't get TV to work) however the setting and spectacular views over Schoolhouse Bay and across to the Boat Club make up for any minor shortfalls.

Island Retreat
This was our second time staying at Sallyās property and it didnāt disappoint. Beautiful location to soak in the views of Schoolhouse Bay, listen to the birds, stargaze and relax. Easy to get to Mansion House and some of the lovely walks and beaches that Kawau has to offer. Great communication from Sally making sure we had everything we needed. Thank you!

MAGICAL amazing Kawau
Well located property near Schoolhouse bay wharf with AMAZING views. Good taste of what living on the island would be like. Great small community, friendly neighbours - Kelby was a great help with bags to and from the house. Sally's enthusiasm for the island and communications through out the process made it very easy and enjoyable
Only thing to note - it is a steep climb to the property , but we were aware and that's why the neighbours help was invaluable.
Thankyou.

Time at Sally's house on Kawau Island
We had a great time at Sally's place. The house has an amazing view of Schoolhouse Bay. The house is comfortable and very quiet. The kids loved jumping off the wharf. We enjoyed our walk over to Mansion House. We also got a lift over to the Boat Club which served good food and had lots of character. It was good to see and hear various birds and we even saw a wallaby. I felt the island had a welcoming atmosphere and I would like to go back some time!

Views at beautiful Kawau
Great place to base ourselves for 3 nights as we walked and swam to bays accessible on foot from property, took our dingy to the boat club or sailed to another bay. I had seen the bach prior to booking so knew about the steep stairs but also the great views from the deck. Sally was quick on text in the lead up with any questions and helped coordinate a neighbour to assist with our gear getting back to the wharf. Kawau is a gem, don't delay in visiting!
