Remote hideaway for peace and quiet

Lovely property, tucked away above the natural fauna high on a hill with spectacular ocean views from the lounge, dining area and two main bedrooms, not to mention the surrounding deck. An extra bedroom off the kitchen leading to a BBQ area and hot tub. The burner was a bonus keeping the house warm day and night, very cosy. This was a long-earned rest we needed, away from society and the hustle and bustle of town life.

Tranquility

Just a lovely spot to get away from the bustle. Good sized house, ample parking and fantastic views from the decks and living room. We loved exploring around the gardens with our toddlers and there’s a couple of nice walks towards the end of the road…Thanks

All good! but one thing was a shame.

There were no beach excess by walking around property. It was too far rather than expected. Most fishing spots were blocked by private properties.. Except fishing and snorkel, overall was goood.

Beautiful views and surrounded by bush

We booked this bach at the last minute as our tent booking at the nearby DOC campsite was going to be rained out. It was 13 mins away from our favourite beach set in beautiful bush. When the misty rain finally cleared the views of the ocean were gorgeous. The bach is well appointed in terms of amenities- just bring cooking oil. There wasn’t any in the pantry and no shops just down the road. Sadly the dishwasher was not working but otherwise everything else was great. Great TV for the Winter Olympics. Due to the rain we had ants everywhere inside but probably not a problem if the weather is dry. A lovely home for making the most of the amazing environment.

Family Getaway

A really well appointed property that lacked for nothing in terms of facilities, especially the kitchen which we made extensive use of. Also supplemented by a good BBQ. Spacious rooms with quality beds. The view is better than the photos & we even got a large pod of dolphins moving across our vista. Dining area, Wifi & TV facilities all very good. The deck area is of course fabulous & although we didn't use the laundry that also appeared very well appointed. No hesitation in recommending & will consider returning.

Everything we’d hoped for

Tranquility Base Tuateawa was everything we’d hoped for and more. Fabulous views, very comfortable, well appointed, easily accessible but also very private. The host & caretaker responded quickly to our queries. Highly recommend & look forward to staying there again.

Fantastic location, lovely home

Outstanding accommodation, very close to some of the nicest and quietest beaches I've been to in NZ. The house itself was also great, it was big, isolated, and a great spot to just chill out and relax. It had all the amenities we needed for our trip. Thanks for having us!

Such a stunning spot

Position, position, position. This property has the most drop dead gorgeous views over the ocean. There is a stony beach a 10 minute walk away. The house is spacious and comfortable with a wonderfully equipped kitchen. We stayed 4 nights but would have liked longer. The roads and drive over the peninsular to get there are not for the feint hearted but totally worth the effort once you get there.
