The Chalet, Golden Bay Lodge

The Chalet is fully self-contained with a large separate bedroom and a romantic log stove for chilly evenings. It has a sunny deck at the front and a short stroll across the lawn and down the path leads you to the safe and beautiful Tukurua beach. The gardens were first laid out in 1978 with the planting of 1500 rhododendrons, later were added camellias and hostas. The present owners are committed to organic management and have added orchards of fruiting trees, vegetables and herbs with flowering shrubs, native exotic & subtropical and restored the native bush areas. Guests are free to wander & explore the gardens as they wish, there is a hot spa available for use anytime with a fantastic view but please shower off any sand before hand and treat the place with the respect that it deserves. Theres a dry wood box on the deck with extra kindling and plenty of dry logs if you need them
