Nestled among mature native bush on a ridge surrounded by resident native bird life with spectacular ocean, bush & coastal cliff views sits this cool romantic hideaway. Many hours can be spent relaxing, watching the antics of the birds or taking in the views from the deck or even from bed.
Or we are within a ten minute drive of three beautiful sandy beaches, a famous surf break three minutes away, several bush walks & there is lots of exploring to do around the North Coromandel including the popular Coastal Walkway.
Plenty of water sports to be had, fishing, diving, kayaking or surfing on our doorstep.
Tuateawa is thirty minutes north of Coromandeltown & all the attractions it has to offer. Please be aware that Coromandel is the last place to purchase goods/fuel.
The top floor of the house has the small kitchen (fully equipped) lounge/dining & a queen bed where you can fall asleep gazing at the ocean & the fantastic night sky. Downstairs has bathroom/shower & a small lounge with fireplace.
Ideally the house suits as a nature lovers romantic getaway but there is another queen bed in the sleepout for extras, but four adults may make things a bit cramped, therefore we encourage just one couple bookings.
Tuateawa is a strict conservation area, therefore we are lucky enough to have a fantastic array of native birds. The house is situated in the treetops, so Ruru, Tui, Kereru, Korimako, Tauhau & Kaka are constantly around the house...a birdwatchers paradise! Kiwi can be heard after dusk on the ridge behind the property. There is also a short walk to a secret lagoon bordering the property, where rare Pateke ducks, eels, frogs, abundant birdlife hang out surrounded by a fantastic amphitheatre of ancient native bush
There is also a small collection of some taonga, polished rock/Petrified wood within the house.
Things you should know.
The road between Coromandeltown & Tuateawa is mostly gravel & quite windy, but spectacular! Drive to the conditions. Otherwise there is an alternative route through Colville, which adds another thirty minutes to the journey, there is also a gravel section on this road.

The toilet is an outside composting Worm toilet attached to the house.

There is a short walk, with steps, through the bush to the house...but its worth it!
