About this property

The Cape View Pacific Ocean Experience

True experience seekers will love staying on the edge of the Pacific Ocean in a recently refurbished and fully insulated double glazed tiny home aka The Cape View Shed. Set in a quiet beachfront residential location exuding seaside charm with a magnificent view of Hawke Bay and an uninterrupted view of Cape Kidnappers.

Capture the sun and moon rising while relaxing in the cedar hot tub which is chlorine free and uses a spa treatment containing colloidal silver. On occasion witness a seal sunbathing or a pod of dolphins swimming out at sea.

The Cape View Shed is a compact yet well planned space with open plan living/sleeping and a separate bathroom with twin Italian basins, one for washing dishes and one for personal hygiene both with modern gooseneck taps. Suited for maximum of two guests. The accommodation provides a queen size bed and a small single divan bed. Kitchenette with microwave and fridge only. Smart TV. External caravan plug. Macrocarpa decking areas are for your sole use as is the Weba BBQ. You are welcome to use the fire pit also. Two bikes are available on request at time of booking to explore the coast via the cycle paths which you can access at your accommodation's drive entranceway.

Approximately 700 metres to Elephant Hill winery. Also very close to Clearview Winery. A two minute walk to the Brown Dog Coffee Cart, Four Square, Marion's Bar & Grill and Capeview Takeaways.

The accommodation has the Cape View Cottage located on site, being the owners private holiday home. When the cottage is in use the Cape View Shed is made unavailable on the website to ensure that when you book you will enjoy complete privacy with full use of the cottage outdoor areas, including the verandas to the seaside. Your privacy is our priority. The property is fully fenced and gated with off street parking.

While you stay visit the Gannet Sanctuary or play golf at Cape Kidnappers Golf Course. The fact the Cape View Shed is excitingly close to the Pacific Ocean, golf and the wineries is the very magic of the place.

You will hear the sea and at times the sea can be wild.
The outdoor areas are elevated above the stoney beach and are protected by a big sea wall which is a handy spot to fish from. There is access down to the waterfront which you can walk along in low tide.

This is a holiday experience out of the ordinary.

We had a very enjoyable stay. Watching the ocean waves right from the deck was a real treat for us. We enjoyed the hot tub and the bicycles. The place is small but equipped well enough for a couple to have a lovely time. The location is perfect. Check-in and communication were great. We highly recommend this little bungalow by the sea.

My husband Mark and I love to travel.

We wish you to discover for yourselves the enjoyment to be found here. Fondly known by family and the locals as The Cape View Shed. A great base for a getaway.
