About this property

Rustic cabin, sea views, deck, bbq, kayak/SUP, wifi, 2 mins walk to beach, pets

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. Enjoy the native bird song and garden, overlooking the beautiful lagoon of Enclosure bay, with beach 2 minutes walk away. Stunning views out to Great Barrier and Coromandel. Perfect couples or solo retreat, back to nature.

Complimentary use of kayak and Standup paddle board, available for you to explore the bay or coast. BBQ with a view.

Relax with a coffee, and enjoy the views from the new, comfortable queen bed. Sit at the breakfast bar inside and watch what's going on in the bay.
Dine outdoors on the deck, after BBQing your meal, or drive 10 -15 minutes to award winning wineries, restaurants and cafes.

The kitchenette also includes a single induction cooktop with saucepan, toaster, kettle, Nespresso coffee machine and microwave.

Rinse off in the gas heated, outdoor shower, whilst enjoying the view.
We use a eco composting toilet system which is new, clean and fresh for each stay. The toilet is 4 metres from the main cabin, out from the back door.

The cabin is about an 80 metre walk up from the bottom of the section where you can park. So you will need to be able to walk up the hill, it's not very steep, and affords you the great views while being only a minute or two from the waters edge.

McKenzie Reserve is our local, regenerating bush walking track. Many other coastal and forest day walks are nearby. We are also on the Te Ara Hura national walking track.

Enclosure bay is a well kept secret, one of the quieter Northern coast beaches, just a minute or two from the cabin. Enjoy a swim, snorkel or kayak, you might get to meet our resident octopus if you're lucky. Waiheke is home to numerous vineyards, a local brewery, Saturday arts and crafts market, with many culinary delights to discover. Sandy bay is a few more minutes walk away, just along the road. Palm Beach is a larger, more populated beach, about a ten minute drive away, or 30 minute walk. Palm beach shop can provide you with icecream and restaurant Arcadia available for some lunch and evening meals.

It's only a 10-15 minute drive to gorgeous wineries with restaurants such as award wining Casita Miro. Mudbrick, Cable Bay. The Heke is Waiheke's own boutique brewery. Another highly rated restaurant, 372, you'll find at Onetangi Beach, 12 minutes drive away.

The stars look better from Waiheke. We are in a mostly unlit neighbourhood so the stargazing is fantastic on a clear night.

Our stay here was absolutely lovely, the views, the location right above the beach, the cozy cabin all exactly as advertised. The amenities ( it's a rustic cabin so be aware of some features) were perfect and well laid out. The hosts are super welcoming and friendly. We were here for a week and enjoyed waking up here every day.

Friendly, very helpful hosts. Sean even gave us a lift into town when we first arrived. Fabulous view and 1 minute from the beach. The uphill walk through the nature reserve to the bus stop was full of birds singing. Great environment close to a couple beaches, nature reserves and the stunning Sacred Blessing Gardens.

Cozy Waiheke Getaway with Stunning Views!

We had a wonderful stay at this charming accommodation! The views were stunning, and being so close to the beach was a huge plus. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck and taking in the scenery. The location was perfect for exploring the area, with close proximity to restaurants, shops, and other attractions. The cabin itself was cozy and comfortable, making it the perfect base for our vacation. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.

A cute rustic eco cabin with everything we needed for a blissful stay. We appreciated its eco nature with everything clean, comfortable and working to perfection. Beautiful Enclosure Bay is a gem, with safe swimming, a nice vibe and less crowded than other Waiheke beaches. Charlotte was prompt and helpful in her communications with us and made us feel very welcome during our stay. We would definitely go back.

What a spot!!!

We had an amazing stay. Loved the stunning views of the ocean, so nice to wander down for a swim in the bay and be able to use the kayaks too. Cabin was cosy and well equipped with all we needed. Composting toilet was clean and nice to use, we loved the shower on the deck. Look forward to coming back again soon

Lovely, serene spot

We enjoyed our stay immensely. Sean and Charlotte were helpful and friendly and gave us space and privacy while we were there. The cabin is clean, comfortable, well supplied, and the views and bird life are amazing. Not everyone will appreciate the toilet, sink and shower being outside the cabin, but many (like us) will love it, especially in warm weather. We greatly appreciated the eco-friendly use of solar lighting, composting toilet and their efforts to recycle.
