About this property

Tangahoe - The Great Escape

Tangahoe is a traditional Paekakariki bach, re-vitalised - in style and comfort - by Wellington architects Melling:Morse Ltd. A stone's throw from the beach, its generous living space extends onto elevated decks set amongst the tree tops. A serene double-bedroom hovers over a sheltered garden...(a couch/bed in the living area provides sleeping for 2). The bach is very sunny and warm but in a storm there is the comfort of a cosy fireplace.

The bach is a two minute walk from the entrance to Queen Elizabeth Park, and its magnificent coastal track (perfect for a leisurely walk, a bike ride, or a brisk 10k run). In the Village, the Paekakariki Cafe is a foodie's delight for breakfast and lunch; and a deli, bookshop and small art gallery completes the scene.

Lovely weekend
We enjoyed our stay very much. Although suburban Tangahoe felt secluded. Even though the wind was cold, the decks were very pleasant with the sun out, and the trees kept the wind (especially the southerly) away.

Lovely property nestled in bush. Couldn't see neighbours and very quiet. Host responded quickly to a small wifi issue and then followed up soon after. Paekakariki is one of our favourite places and we will be back to stay at this lovely whare again.
