One Tree Point is an awesome place for some R&R. There's a lot of development in the area, but apart from a few weeks at Christmas it is still fairly sleepy! Walk, bike ride, swim, paddle board, sit around and read, walk to the cafe in the canal development. Walk or ride around La Pointe Estate and the 9 hole golf course. There's plenty to do or nothing to do if you choose.
Boat launching is just 100m from your door or 1km drive to the Marsden Cove Marina boat ramp.
Just a 1km walk away is the interesting Mardsen Cove Marina. The monthly market is at the One Tree Point School, which you'll pass on your way and 'The Marina Cafe' is open for coffee, breakfast, lunch and dinner beside the water.
Ruakaka surf beach is a 10 min drive away.
The public golf course is near Waipu, and a there is a lovely Four Square Supermarket at the Marina or the Ruakaka Shopping Centre just a 10 min drive away. Waipu with its quaint historic atmosphere has a variety of interesting shops, museum and cafes to explore.
Cycle/drive from One Tree Point to the Oil refinery wharf to watch or try the fishing off the long pier, or nip to the surf on Ruakaka Beach for a quick dip in the waves.

There is no public transport in the area - you'll need your own car. Bring bikes as it is a perfect area for riding around, but just as good to walk around - we recommend stopping off at the Marsden Cafe in the Marsden Cove Marina!

There are 4 other units in this building. Mostly they are used by the owners in the weekends and over the busy Xmas/New Year period. Otherwise it is extremely quiet. What we love about this area is the peace and quiet, and we ask you to give consideration to your neighbours. No noise after 9.30pm, please share the communal furniture, and be mindful of parking in the allocated area.
No noise after 9.30pm
The apartment is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and an ironing board.

Great stay thanks!

Loved so much about this place. The location - right on the beach and the amazing harbor views, the use of the paddleboards and bikes, the quiet little suburban area, the Marina cafe, the unit feeling spacious and having the kitchenette and bathroom and even the good quality instant coffee supplied. It was a holiday made more special by the accommodation. Thanks again Leone and Mark

Nice wee space, great views out over the bay and very close to the beach. One Tree Point itself is a bit soulless, beach fairly narrow when the tide is in.

More than just a home stay!

Mark and Leone have been the most amazing and supportive owners, assisting the stay of our employees. Their utmost concern that our staff over a several month period have been comfortable, supportive and happy not only with accommodation but with their time in general whilst visiting the area supporting business activities. Mark and Leone have also been really flexible and even supported one of our employees with opening a bank account locally. Thank you to them both, and I look forward to engaging them and their lovely unit again in the future.
