About this property
Kākā Ridge Retreat Bush Hideaway
Cute studio guesthouse with a generous deck surrounded by bush. Relax at this unique and tranquil rustic getaway. Main house is 10 metres away but studio has privacy and lovely bush views. The Bush Hideaway is small with Queen bed but has everything you need for a quiet few days of 'glamping'. Access to the brand new bathroom is via the deck not from inside the studio.
The studio has been built at the back of our garage which is completely separate from the house, about ten metres away. The studio is about 21 sq metres and the deck is of a similar size. A large gate at the end of the deck provides visual privacy from the house. The outlook is lovely. We provide linen, towels, tea towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, dishwashing liquid, tea, coffee, milk, oil, salt & pepper. The kitchenette includes a microwave / convection oven, toaster, kettle, plunger coffee pots. A BBQ on the deck provides the means to cook a simple meal.
The windows and doors have insect screens and we put up a mosquito net over the bed during the summer months. The heat pump will keep you cosy in winter and cool in summer as needed.
We’re an hour from Auckland, five minutes from the Tāwharanui Regional Park and 15 minutes from the Matakana Village - easy access to the weekend markets, restaurants, cafes, boutique shops and a cinema complex.
Tawharanui is home to this apartment. Heron's Flight and Ascension Wine Estate Matakana Auckland are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those in the mood for shopping can visit Matakana Village and Matakana Weekend Market. Action Ninja World and Reptile Park are also worth visiting. Visit our Tawharanui travel guide

This is a cute little place to have a quiet time away. Very close to the regional park for walks and beach time too. Lots of lovely birds around and cosy and warm inside if heading there in winter.
We recommend this gorgeous wee place with amazing friendly welcoming hosts. Very acommodating to us. X We loved it so much! Ifyou want a reminder or to experience NZ bush, birds and beaches... we will definately book here again!!
We had only booked one night at this property. That was a mistake. The location was amazing. The property was beautiful and we will definitely be b poking longer when we return to NZ
A well appointed, spotlessly clean, and oh so comfortable hideaway, with lovely bush views. Hearing kiwi calling in the night and kākā during the day added to the feeling of being somewhere very special. Our hosts were lovely, and generous with their time and suggestions of things to do. The bach is just up the road from the Tawharanui Open Sanctuary (and night-time kiwi spotting), and the Matakana Market and Cinema are just 10 minutes away. We'll be back!
