About this property
Tangahoe - The Great Escape
Tangahoe is a traditional Paekakariki bach, re-vitalised - in style and comfort - by Wellington architects Melling:Morse Ltd. A stone's throw from the beach, its generous living space extends onto elevated decks set amongst the tree tops. A serene double-bedroom hovers over a sheltered garden...(a couch/bed in the living area provides sleeping for 2). The bach is very sunny and warm but in a storm there is the comfort of a cosy fireplace.
The bach is a two minute walk from the entrance to Queen Elizabeth Park, and its magnificent coastal track (perfect for a leisurely walk, a bike ride, or a brisk 10k run). In the Village, the Paekakariki Cafe is a foodie's delight for breakfast and lunch; and a deli, bookshop and small art gallery completes the scene. Special conditions: Two night minimum stay No smoking please. Cleaning fee of $90..00 applies to all visitors Pets allowed with prior approval Dogs OK outside. Please leave property tidy 7 day minimal stay 20th December to 12th January 5 night minimum stay Easter period
Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$90.00 per stay); Linen (included);

A beautiful and peaceful home - lovely timber interior with outlook to native trees. Easy access to the beach and just a short walk to a great sauna spot. Highly recommended.
Tangahoe is such a beautiful, peaceful place in an amazing location. It has everything you need and was just perfect for a quiet couple of days before the Christmas madness hit.
Tangahoe was exactly as described and as the photos showed (aoart from some decor changes).The location was perfect for us.The host was easily contactable and communication was quick and friendly.We loved our stay!
We keep coming back. Just the best of places for a couple to stay in Paekakariki. So spacious and well equipped that having guests in for a meal or get together is an easy option.
Very nice place to stay. Clean and tidy. Nice big windows that looked out onto trees all around. Couches were comfy to sleep on. Kitchen and bathroom modern and in good order. Handy for the beach, playground and Queen Elizabeth Park. Would definitely stay again.
We have stayed here many times and always enjoy the experience. Plenty of space, comfortable (including the bed),inviting, well equipped, close to the beach and pretty much spot on in every respect. We will keep coming back.
The perfect place for a couple of days escape - beautiful location and what an amazing space. I really appreciated the flexibility with check in and out times too. I'll definitely be back!
