Escape to this small, newly-renovated 2-bedroom house in the bush, where each bedroom boasts its own bathroom. Unwind on the deck surrounded by nature and still be close to town; enjoy a short walk down to Te Haumi beach or take a scenic drive over to Russell via Opua Ferry.

Cozy 2-Bedroom Bush Retreat – Newly Renovated

Tucked away in the native bush, this freshly renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers the perfect escape. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, and the open-plan living area flows into a modern, compact kitchen—ideal for relaxed holiday living.

Step onto the small deck and you’ll feel like you’re on holiday in a secluded forest retreat, yet you're just minutes from town. It’s a peaceful spot where you can truly unwind and soak up the beauty of nature.

🛏 2 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms
🍳 New kitchen + open living area
🌲 Surrounded by bush, with forest vibes
🚶‍♀️ 700m to Te Haumi Beach (steep walk back!)
🚗 2.5km to town, easy access to the Opua ferry
🍕 Quick trip across the bay for pizza at Horne Garden in Russell

Please note:
Steep driveway
Stair access to the house
Single car park available
There are two homes on this peaceful property, both rented as holiday homes. Located in a quiet residential area mostly enjoyed by retirees, it's the perfect place to escape the tourist crowds while still feeling like you’re on holiday.

We love spending time here as a family—and we think you will too.

Tucked away, has all the necesssities

Nicely furnished with all you need, this little place will meet needs. Though you could walk to Te Haumi beach, it would be dangerous on a narrow, busy road and you'd rather go to Paihia beach anyway...so you need a car here. It is right in the forest, as advertised, but the main road is nearby so a bit noisy. The driveway is intimidating but serviceable. All in all, a good value.

A tree top retreat.

It was the perfect location for day trips to KeriKeri, Russell, and the Waitangi Treaty Ground and offered us the ideal place for the respite we needed. The owners were extremely responsive. Accommodations very comfortable and have been recently upgraded.

Wonderful stay in amongst nature! Even heard some kiwis :)

Carien's bach was amazing to stay at. It had very modern decor and the amenities available were very suitable for our needs. Any questions or concerns were quickly responded to by the owner. We would love to stay here again when we are up in Paihia!

Beautiful little hideaway in the bush, perfect for a girl's weekend.

A lovely little cottage in the bush, perfect for a girl's weekend, with two bathrooms and lovely products. The driveway is very steep and the pathway and deck can be slippery in the wet weather, so care is need. Host responded quickly to any queries. All in all and lovely weekend.

All you need

This is a well kept place and the natural bush the deck overlooks is awesome. Lots of work has been put in to this bach and it was so easy to just have our holiday and not have anything to worry about. When we had questions, Carien answered us promptly. Thanks Carien!
