About this property
The Beach Hut - Waterfront Studio at HarbourLights
One Tree Point absolute waterfront Studio Apartment, with magnificent views across the Whangarei Harbour . Here, you can enjoy the very safe beach and laze under the shade of Pohutukawa trees. Ideal spot to self isolate !
This ground floor Studio Apartment has everything you could want for the perfect holiday for a couple.
The secluded white sandy beach, only a few steps off the front lawn, has wonderful safe swimming low or high tide.
It is a comfortable self contained unit, with one double bed, sofa, full kitchen, your own bathroom and separate laundry.
BBQ or sit and relax and enjoy the amazing and expansive views.
This is a compact apartment with the double bed in the lounge . This bed has amazing sea views .
The kitchen is equipped with an oven, stove top, microwave, and fridge/freezer, plus all the usual kitchen utensils and crockery.
The bathroom includes a shower, toilet and wash basin. There is an outside cold shower to wash off after swimming.
You have access to your own storage shed and laundry . There is an upright freezer, and washing machine.
On the expansive front lawn you can relax in the sun loungers and BBQ table. These are shared with other guests or owners who are staying in adjoining units. Or you can enjoy the privacy of your own patio , and small patio table and chairs.
There are paddle boards and bikes available for you to explore the area .
There is parking under cover for 1 car.
There are 4 other units in this building. Mostly they are used by the owners in the weekends and over the busy Xmas/New Year period. What we love about this area is the peace and quiet, and we ask you to give consideration to your neighbours. No noise after 9.30pm, please share the communal furniture, and be mindful of parking in the allocated area.
One Tree Point is an awesome place for some R&R. There's a lot of development in the area, but apart from a few weeks at Christmas it is still fairly sleepy! Walk, bike ride, swim, paddle board, sit around and read, walk to the cafe in the canal development. Walk or ride around La Pointe Estate and the 9 hole golf course. There's plenty to do or nothing to do if you choose.
Boat launching is just 100m from your door or 1km drive to the marina launching.
Just a 1km walk away is the interesting Mardsen Cove Marina. The monthly market is held there, and 'Land & Sea' cafe is open for coffee, breakfast, lunch and dinner beside the water.
Ruakaka surf beach is a 10 min drive away.
The public golf course is near Waipu, and a shopping centre just a 10 min drive for groceries. Waipu with its quaint historic atmosphere has a variety of interesting shops, museum and cafes to explore.
Cycle/drive from One Tree Point to the Oil refinery wharf to watch or try the fishing off the long pier, or nip to the surf for a quick dip in the waves.
Getting around
There is no public transport in the area - you'll need your own car. Bring bikes as it is a perfect area for riding around, but just as good to walk around - we recommend stopping off at the Land & Sea Cafe in the Marsden Cove Marina!

About the host
Hosted by Mark Neal

We have lived in Northland most of our lives, and our children have grown up, left home and are working in Auckland. I am a Secondary School teacher and my husband Mark runs our website design and commercial printing business. We spend as much time as we can, depending on weather, on or in the water. Camping, boating, fishing and paddle-boarding are passions of ours. We are also hockey mad! Our son and daughter both represented NZ in hockey at the Rio Olympics, and our daughter was in the NZ Blacksticks team that won the Gold medal at the Commonwealth Games , Gold Coast.
We have stayed at Air BNB's both overseas and in New Zealand while travelling for hockey, and since discovering this form of accommodation, would never go back to motels or hotels. We love the different places, the homely atmospheres and different people we have met, and look forward to extending the same hospitality with our own Airbnb.
