A private, funky cabin surrounded by natures beauty with the best views in town.

Nestled among mature native bush on a ridge surrounded by resident native bird life with spectacular ocean, bush & coastal cliff views sits this cool romantic hideaway. Many hours can be spent relaxing, watching the antics of the birds or taking in the views from the deck or even from bed.
Or we are within a ten minute drive of three beautiful sandy beaches, a famous surf break three minutes away, several bush walks & there is lots of exploring to do around the North Coromandel including the popular Coastal Walkway.
Plenty of water sports to be had, fishing, diving, kayaking or surfing on our doorstep.
Tuateawa is thirty minutes north of Coromandeltown & all the attractions it has to offer. Please be aware that Coromandel is the last place to purchase goods/fuel.
The top floor of the house has the small kitchen (fully equipped) lounge/dining & a queen bed where you can fall asleep gazing at the ocean & the fantastic night sky. Downstairs has bathroom/shower & a small lounge with fireplace.
Ideally the house suits as a nature lovers romantic getaway but there is another queen bed in the sleepout for extras, but four adults may make things a bit cramped, therefore we encourage just one couple bookings.
Tuateawa is a strict conservation area, therefore we are lucky enough to have a fantastic array of native birds. The house is situated in the treetops, so Ruru, Tui, Kereru, Korimako, Tauhau & Kaka are constantly around the house...a birdwatchers paradise! Kiwi can be heard after dusk on the ridge behind the property. There is also a short walk to a secret lagoon bordering the property, where rare Pateke ducks, eels, frogs, abundant birdlife hang out surrounded by a fantastic amphitheatre of ancient native bush
There is also a small collection of some taonga, polished rock/Petrified wood within the house.

Things you should know.

The road between Coromandeltown & Tuateawa is mostly gravel & quite windy, but spectacular! Drive to the conditions. Otherwise there is an alternative route through Colville, which adds another thirty minutes to the journey, there is also a gravel section on this road.
The property is not really suitable for children.
The toilet is an outside composting Worm toilet attached to the house.
The house is fully equipped and has a Nespresso (please bring your own capsules)as there is not a cafe close by!
There is a short walk, with steps, through the bush to the house...but its worth it!
Smoking outside only please.
No Dogs or Cats this is a strict conservation area.
Water conservation in summer is required if drought conditions are prevalent...short showers please.
Please be aware this is a property to immerse yourself in nature & the surroundings, therefore there is no TV or Internet. There is a screen with an HDMI lead to plug in your device. Cell phone reception is excellent for hot spotting.
NO FIRES outside please. Tuateawa has been classed at extremely high risk of bush fires and for the last few summers, we have been placed in a total fire ban.

You will be responsible for any damage to the property or contents caused by you during your stay.

Divine bach experience
Peter and Wendy were wonderful hosts from the get-go and helped guide and direct us towards the bach with complete ease. They also helped us load our belongings into the bach for the short walk up to the bach! The bach itself is beyond serene - fully equipped with every little thoughtful thing to make the guests feel more welcome, at home, and comfortable! We absolutely loved the whole experience right from the start to the end. The sounds of the birds, the scenic view from every window at the property, and the absolute sense of peace was the perfect way to get a little escape and taste the beauty of NZ. Would a 100% recommend this spot to any nature lover or just anyone looking to restore themselves from the daily hustle of every day life!

Best little secret of the Coromandel
Pete's place is a lovely hideaway nestled in beautiful native bush. The house is cute and quirky with amazing views from the deck and bed! Per the description, there are a number of stairs from the car to the house through the bush, so pack lightly (it's not terrible, but you wouldn't want to carry the kitchen sink). There are a few lovely walks to do from the house including down to their local stony beach, and a wonderful sandy beach only 5-10 mins drive away. Bathroom facilities are in immaculate condition, kitchen is well kitted out, and Pete was a wonderful host. We stayed 2 nights, but could have easily stayed 4 or more to really settle in and explore the area.

A cozy hideaway--our favorite so far
We've been traveling in NZ a few weeks since we stayed at the cabin. It's definitely our favorite! The views are wonderful, and it was a perfect spot for birding. We heard the kiwis at night. The cabin was exactly as described. Perfect for two people. Kitchen had plenty of pots, pans and utensils for cooking. Loved the rocks and knickknacks throughout the house--a cozy hideaway all around.

Incredible cabin nestled amongst nature
We stayed at Peter’s place for 3x nights and it was magical beginning to end. Perched up on the hill with views out to the coast and ocean, and surrounded by pristine native bush. Lying in bed and looking at the stars in the night sky is a real highlight. The house itself is incredibly well equipped and little details thought out for the most comfortable stay. Lots of activities to do within a short drive, or just stay nestled in the oasis of the cabin. Agree with all the comments about the photos not doing it justice, get ready for this place to blow you away and make you not want to leave. Thanks Peter!
