About this property

Calianne - Superb beachfront architecture

Simon Carnachan is responsible for designing a number of New Zealand's landmark beach houses. Calianne is a grand fusion of Simon's creativity, construction expertise and a substantial budget. The voluminous roof draws on influences from the communal buildings of the Pacific Islands. A theme that extends to the flow through ventilation, multiple adjustable louvres of cedar and glass: Air-conditioning courtesy of sea breezes.

Fringed with a clipped hedge of Hibiscus and surrounded on 3 sides by flat lawns large enough to zip flick a Frisbee. Out front and centre: Doubtless Bay. The front garden ends with the sand of Coopers Beach. A stand of 6 mature Pohutukawa lean right out over the sand. They provide a degree of privacy and infinitely adjustable sunbathing shade.

The property is ideal for a multi-family holiday. Encompassing 335sqm the home features 2 master bedroom suites and 3 lounges in the core dwelling and accommodation for a further 12 people in the Southern wing. Upstairs, 2 fun bunk rooms, single beds for up to 8 guests, skylights that swing open to reveal the Milky Way. A central courtyard is completely private from the outside world and serves as the entertainment hub.

Appointments and chattels are of a quality that are befitting a home of this standard. Coffee machine, 2 large fridges, 2 dishwashers, monitored security system, unlimited speedy wi-fi, 2 TV lounges (no TV in the main lounge). A pair of Viking Kayaks and accessories. One a Profish 400, a purpose built fishing kayak, complete with a kit that includes all the tackle you'll need to be grilling Snapper come sunset. The other an Espri model, a bay cruiser with a few rod-holders.

There are a handful of properties of this calibre in Doubtless Bay. Only one is available for a few select groups of guests that seek a stay in a Kiwi Beach house designed by one of our most revered architects. A combination of design and location that delivers a perfect sub-tropical cocktail of casual cool class.

Parties, Events and non-paying guests are prohibited. Breaches can result in a no refund termination of the stay. No pets please. Smoking not allowed.

Home Away From Home
Excellent beachside location, huge indoor/outdoor space, awesome layout, abundant parking space, exceptional facilities (high speed wifi, barbeque, outdoor/indoor furniture to cater to a large group, wide range of crockery/utensils/glassware, kayaks, at least half a dozen washrooms, sun-loungers, home-like comforts, to name a few). The best part, though, was the pleasing & welcoming nature of the host, David, and his superb communication & ease of approachability. One of the best trips we've ever had! We're already planning our next trip here & for a longer duration! Perfect Ten!

Making whanau memories
The house was amazing plenty of space for our large group the weather was crap but relaxing in front of fire was enjoyed by all ages of the group we had brought some activities from home for the kids we also enjoyed the monopoly game that was available. We did most of our cooking on the BBQ cos there were many mouths to feed.. The views from all levels of the house were stunning despite the weather. Hope to stay again and have recommended this property to whanau and friends.

Family fun
Great location for easy reach to shops, beach, walks and sight seeing. The house was wonderful that it accommodated our family of 14. Ages 17 months to 60s. Dew to the price I would have expected a few small things such as a washing basket, dishwasher tablets, rubbish bags, brush and shovel after sweeping the floor. And kitchen stools under the bench. Over all l, yes, we would come back. It is a lovely spot and the manager was helpful with our tricky arrival due to the Northland floods.
