This 4 Bedroom home occupies a commanding coastal location in the centre of the Golden Mile, midway between Tutukaka and Matapouri. It is the closest house to the Poor Knights Islands, which sit dead centre, straight out in front, with fantastic views from Cape Brett to Great Barrier. It has no neighbours for a kilometre in any direction, access to 4 private beaches, and very good fishing and diving straight off the rocks only a short walk down from the house, or off the magnificent headland “Taurawhata”.
Please Note: Due to a disastrous last year trying to fledge the Grey-Faced petrels due to the predation by stoats and over the next few weeks the adult birds return to the burrows and we intend to protect them the best we can. This will involve a number of toxins being used (1080 and Brodifacoum) and a lot of trapping. Due to our obligations under the health and safety act we will be closing these beaches and the headland to the public. This will begin from March 8th till further notice. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
The house sits in a pohutukawa forest and at the end of a 2 km driveway on “Tawapou”, a well known 300 acre coastal property (with famous nursery of the same name), 2.2 km from Tutukaka towards Matapouri. The property is an eco sanctuary with a rare mainland colony of Grey Faced Petrel, nesting Penguin and Kiwi. Tui and Kereru fly around the house. Extensive pest control means that native skinks, gecko and insects abound. Guests are free to enjoy the property secure in the knowledge that they are helping to pay for the work being done.
With your holiday property manager living locally, we look forward to being of service to you to ensure your stay with us goes well.

Very easy to deal with, responded to power problem very promptly. Nice roomy comfortable house in a lovely setting, we had fun cooking in the pizza oven. I think you should recommend 4 wheel drive vehicles as the road really requires them.
