About this property
La Cachette is a charming Kiwi bach in native bush with stunning harbour views.
A stay at La Cachette is your chance to retreat from a busy working life to a rural Kiwi paradise of native birdsong and beach walks. Awhitu is a relaxing destination with dramatic landscapes, West coast surf on one side and safe swimming sandy beaches on the harbour side. Whether youre fishing or boating or walking or biking or surfing or golfing or painting or simply easing in to a local boutique wine, then Awhitu has something for you.
‘La Cachette’ is a Kiwi family bach situated on the top of a ridge directly overlooking stunning Orua Bay. The most picturesque of the harbour beaches, Orua Bay sits near the tip of Awhitu Peninsula, a hidden gem only 80mins drive from downtown Auckland. With commanding views of the Waitakere Ranges, Cornwallis and the City across the Manukau Harbour, Orua Bay is a sheltered north-facing bay with long sandy beaches and safe swimming. Relax with the whole family at this peaceful place to stay.
La Cachette is a classic Kiwi bach set in 2 acres of private native bush. You will enjoy its well-equipped modern kitchen, dining area and lounge - all with magnificent views of Manukau Harbour. There is also a separate living room for reading, relaxing or even if you need to work remotely.
