Te Henga Hideaway
Our almost new tiny home sits in a private and secluded garden, surrounded by native bush. We respect your total privacy, but if you are keen to chat, we are always here to talk, and help you out. Our home ist just 100m up the driveway, just pop in or give us a call. We have no mobile phone reception here, but if you have a more recent phone, you can turn „Wifi Calling“ on your phone, and you will be able to use the 4G network. There are no neighbours around us, and you are most welcome to explore our short bush walks on the property. Just wander around the bush line and you will find them :). (See photos in Gallery)
We are situated just 2.5km from the very popular Bethells Beach (Te Henga) and 2km from the beautiful Lake Wainamu, featuring the most amazing sand dunes. The perfect destination to stay after your arrival in Auckland, before you are heading North. Or stay a few more days and explore our other amazing beaches nearby, such as Karekare, Piha or Muriwai, only a 40 minutes drive away. How about a bush walk in the Waitakere Ranges? It's only 8km away. Those destinations are making it very attractive to stay a few days longer.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and a dining table. Change of towels is available on request.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Hosts were fantastic, very friendly and helpful people. The location is peaceful, we had lots of bird life visiting the trees around the tiny home and made good use of the deck - chicken soup for the soul!

Quiet, clean, perfect getaway!
I RARELY leave reviews, but this VRBO deserves one! The cleanest VRBO I have ever stayed in! And very thoughtful owners who provided tea, coffee and espresso and even a welcoming fruit and chocolate tray. Very quiet and only 5 minute drive from the beach. It is perfect if you want solitude, nature and beach nearby.

Friendly, clean and relaxing
Property was beautifully and tastefully decorated. Snug on a quiet cosy location. The owners were very respectful of privacy. But always on hand if needed. A lovely place to go back and enjoy.
