Welcome to our contemporary eco-retreat overlooking stunning Little Bay. Powered by sunshine and rainwater, we are nestled on 10 hectares of protected native bush with views across to Aotea - Great Barrier Island.

We've had lots of lovely reviews since opening our home for guests and here are a few:
"What a find! We absolutely loved our stay. Amazing views, lovely interior. Felt quite luxurious. Great original art work. Good day walks nearby, and awesome swimming at both Little Bay and Waikawau. Beautiful, peaceful setting; we star gazed at night and listened to the kiwis calling. Treat yourself to a few nights at Kaka Cottage!" 7 April 2021
"Wonderful scenic bach. Fantastic location, low key off-grid yet simply elegant. Perfect to create lasting summer memories. Thank you." 7 Feb 2021
"A magical spot. A beautiful home with an outstanding view and only a short drive to the beach at Little Bay. The accommodation is fully equipped and exceeded our expectations. " Jan 2021

Best Eco Friendly Bronze Award in 2015 - we are solar powered (electricity and hotwater), collect rainwater and treat our wastes through a worm based system. A fully off-grid experience!

We have WiFi available now - but if you want us to remove it to have a fully un-connected experience, let us know! Most telecom connections are good for hotspot internet and phone coverage. There is a smart TV available, and an HDMI cable is provided if you want to bring your own laptop to connect to ondemand/streaming services. Many families enjoy the time to disconnect, play board games, swim at the beaches, collect tuatua, explore the area, or read books.

From the two double bedrooms you can lie in bed and watch the morning light over the water and the ever changing skies. Hear the tuis, kereru, bellbirds in the bush, and the kaka on their flight to Moehau each morning and evening. At night you will hear moreporks and sometimes kiwi calling in the surrounding bush.

The house is north facing with 180degree views over the valley and ocean, not another house in sight.. We are 1.5 km from Little Bay and 2 km from Waikawau beach, both beautiful sandy beaches.
Ideally placed for a day trip to the scenic Coromandel Walkway between Stony Bay and Fletcher Bay and for exploring the Northern Coromandel and Colville.

Please note, there are no nearby shops. Petrol and provisions can be found at Colville General Store, 20 mins drive away, or in Coromandel Town, 45 mins drive away. The kitchen pantry is well stocked and freely available, but please be aware it is best to come prepared with food and treats!

All linens are included, but if you can bring your own beach towels that will help us to save water.

Notes:
In January there is a 5 night minimum stay.
A cleaning fee is required but guests are asked to leave the house tidy on departure.
If you are booking for 6 adults, please be aware that you will need to be mindful of water and hot water usage
