Stunning view, gorgeous interior, unique outdoor comforts.

This place is special. Right on the coast, with an elevated view and an interior that is comfortable, yet modern and stylish plus outdoor living like none you've seen! Location: Found on the sunny northern fringe of Waiomu village, along the Thames Coast, it's an easy (usually under 2hr) drive from Auckland. Unique outdoor facilities: 1. The garden 'quarter-house' is made for relaxing, day and night. With its custom made outdoor floating fireplace perfectly situated to warm bodies and toast marshmallows. 2. A custom made stainless steel outdoor kitchen takes BBQing to the next level. 3. The outdoor surf-board shower keeps everyone smiling (and grit/salt-free) after a day at the beach/river. The view: Spectacular; vast views of the Firth of Thames - spanning the tip of Rangitoto through to the dip of the Hauraki plains. With the iconic coastal Pohutukawa's nearby hours can be spent bird watching and ocean gazing. The view is ever-changing, with a sunset show to cap off each day. Waiomu's attractions all nearby: Local cafe an easy 10-minute stroll away. The choice of two beautiful parks, Waiomu beach and forest walks with idyllic river pools just up the valley. Plus the convenience of Thames, with numerous shopping, eating, and entertainment options. Not to mention the fishing... there's a charter fishing company within walking distance of the bach. (Feel free to ask us for contact details if you're interested). Indoor time: 1. We don't have wifi or TV coverage, the screen entertainment is via good old DVD's. 2. The large living room table is perfect for puzzles & games. 3. Watching the weather, the birds working, and if you're really lucky a pod of dolphins swim by.
