About this property

The Cape View Pacific Ocean Experience

True experience seekers will love living on the edge of the Pacific Ocean in a recently refurbished and fully insulated double glazed tiny home aka The Cape View Shed. Set in a quiet beachfront residential location exuding seaside charm with a magnificent view of Hawke Bay and an uninterrupted view of Cape Kidnappers.

Capture the sun and moon rising while relaxing in the cedar hot tub which is chlorine free and uses a spa treatment containing colloidal silver. On occasion witness a seal sunbathing or a pod of dolphins swimming out at sea.

The Cape View Shed is a light filled space with open plan living/sleeping with a separate bathroom with twin Italian basins, one for washing dishes and one for personal hygiene both with modern gooseneck taps. Suited for maximum of two guests. The accommodation provides a queen size bed and a small single divan bed. Kitchenette with microwave and fridge only. Smart TV. External caravan plug. Macrocarpa decking areas are for your sole use as is the Weba BBQ. You are welcome to use the fire pit also. Two bikes are available on request at time of booking to explore the coast via the cycle paths.

Approximately 700 metres to Elephant Hill winery. Also very close to Clearview and Te Awanga Estate Wineries. A two minute walk to the Brown Dog Coffee Cart, Four Square, Gannets Bar & Grill and Capeview takeaways.

The accommodation also has the Cape View Cottage located on the site, being the owners private holiday home. When the cottage is in use the Cape View Shed is made unavailable on the website to ensure your privacy. The cottage has separate outdoor areas to the roadside lawn and verandas to the seaside which you are welcome to enjoy also. Your privacy is our priority.

The property is fully fenced and gated with off street parking. Visit the Gannet Sanctuary or play golf at Cape Kidnappers. The fact the Cape View Shed is excitingly close to the Pacific Ocean is the magic of the place. You will hear the sea and at times the sea can be wild.

The outdoor areas are elevated above the stoney beach and are protected by a big sea wall which is a handy spot to fish from. There is access down to the waterfront which you can walk along in low tide.

This is a holiday experience out of the ordinary.

A very special place to stay! To be so close to the sea and yet have such seclusion is novel. We slept so well here, and unwinding was very easy... The little treats did not go unnoticed!Thank you so much.Roger and Dianne

Great beach location
The Cape View was a very cute location. Unfortunately, the weather was not great for the three nights we stayed there (but that wasn’t the host’s doing!) so we were unable to make the most of the great outdoor spaces. Access to the hot tub and BBQ was greatly appreciated. Some hanger space would have been useful but we knew there was unlikely to be such space. Great location for what we had planned in the area and super quiet (when the waves weren’t splashing up!). Highly recommended.

My husband Mark and I love to travel. We are now enjoying our own country and after having traveled the South Island October/November 2020 we found out what we desired in holiday accommodation so we have tried our best to deliver in a small space what we hope you will appreciate also. We wish you to discover for yourselves the enjoyment to be found here. Fondly known by family and the locals as The Cape View Shed. A great base for a getaway.
