About this property

Hahei Tree Top Retreat

The Top House sits on the highest point of our property, nestled amongst beautiful mature Pohutukawa's and tropical gardens. At this point I would like to make you aware that there are about 40 steps up to The Top House. My mum likes to call them the stairway to heaven but if you don't like stairs it may be the stairway to hell!

It boasts all day sun. The front deck looks towards the gorgeous island views of Hahei and provides guests with the first sun of the day, perfect for having your breakfast or morning coffee. The back deck looks over bush and rural views and enjoys the afternoon sun - perfect for late afternoon drinks.

The Top House is an easy downhill 5-10 minute walk to the beach. Hahei Beach is so beautiful - it is often called the Pink Beach because of the number of ground shells that gives it that beautiful pink tinge - it has the nicest sand of all the Coromandel beaches! There are many sprawling Pohutukawa that line the beach front that provide shelter from the sun.

Cathedral Cove walking track is a 15 minute walk from the Top House. We do have other walks in the area that are fantastic and go to beautiful beaches such as Lonely Bay. You can also go to Cathedral Cove with Cathedral Cove Kayaks or the Cathedral Cove Water Taxi and our local boat operator Hahei Explorer will visit the Cove during its tour of the coastline.

Hahei has a small village shopping area which caters to most of holiday makers needs. A well stocked general store, two restaurants, take aways, an ice cream parlour, cafe, gift shop and delicatessen. We also have an amazing dive school, kayak tours and boat rides all available in our village.

Hot Water Beach is a 10 minute drive away, and is a stunning beach as well. Of course you can dig your hot pool here at low tide, but it is the most beautiful beach for walking along - much more open and rugged than Hahei. This is the beach to go to if you enjoy surfing. It also has two options for eating - Hot Waves is open during the day and Hotties provides evening dining right on the beach.

The beaches don't just stop here - they keep going all the way to the ferry - a beach suitable for any age or activity - all within 15 minutes drive. There are a variety of different eating establishments within this drive such as the beautiful Mercury Estate Vineyard open for lunch, The Hive nestled in amongst kiwi fruit vines provides relaxed dining during the day and evening.

Come and enjoy the peace and tranquility of our small village which also provides enough action and activities for any age group.

Truly a stay in the treetops

Lovely place with lovely views. The walk to the local restaurants was steep, but worth the climb. The place itself was wonderful: clean, spacious, and beautiful.

Sub-tropical oasis

A lovely oasis with a sub-tropical feel in a great spot among the trees and looking out over Hahei. This place was perfectly set up and had everything we needed. Add in regular visits onto the balcony railing from chunky Kereru for the cherry on top.

Luxurious stay at Hahei Treetops

Jane and Geoff’s Treetop house is amazing. The warmth of the sun coming in through the windows, the incredible views of Hahei and the beautifully maintained gardens surrounding the home all make for a delightful stay. The soap, shampoo, body and cleaning products were excellent! Thank you for a wonderful visit.

Awesome stay

This home was immaculate and perfect for our stay in Hahei. It has everything you could possibly need, from a range of Ashley & Co bathroom products, to quality glasses, and a cupboard full of the basic spices & sauces. Towels are good quality & the heated bathroom floor & towel rack was a pleasant surprise. The water pressure in the shower is fantastic & the location is very quiet except of course for the amazing bird life. We had a great holiday in this very comfortable home.

Amazing Bach!

This little Hahei bach was a slice of heaven. We went there to celebrate my birthday and it was the perfect place. Beautifully set up and very clean. Sitting up high in the trees with an ocean view was wonderful. I cannot recommend this place enough and Jane our host was so generous. We will definitely be back!

This place was perfect in every way

Such a phenomenal location, very close to Cathedral Cove and Hot Water Beach. But even if you never left the house you could have a wonderful time here. Gorgeous views of the ocean right from the front door. Don't waste your time looking anywhere else, this is the place to be in Hahei.

The perfect getaway!

We stayed for 10 days and it was just perfect. The house is in such a special spot secluded under some native trees over looking the bay. The house was very clean, tidy and had everything you need to be comfortable. Its just a short walk to one of the best beaches in Coromandel. Thank you so much!

Perfect spot in the trees

Just a beautiful spot that had amazing vistas looking at ocean, tropical forest and lambs grazing on the hill. Felt like we were perched high above it all with so many windows that let in lovely breezes. Easy walk to cute town with some restaurants choices and delicious local ice cream. Local beach was stunning, did a kayaking trip out of there to cathedral cove. Kitchen well stocked and just loved their brand for shampoo and soaps fragrances made it all top notch! Would LOVE to come back and stay much longer.

It would have to be one of the most considered properties we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. The decor is homely and pristine. The entire house is immaculately clean and filled with the most divine collection of artwork and local luxury bath products. Nothing compares!
