Welcome to Enchanted.
By day, it's pure childhood - children racing across emerald lawns, building kingdoms beneath the ferns, discovering corners that feel lifted from a storybook. The zipline, trampoline, tree hut, slackline course, glow worm dell, and bush tracks keep them spellbound for hours.
We're just an email or message away if you need any assistance during your stay. (enchanted@hostd.nz)
Our team stays busy managing multiple properties, so for the quickest response, please contact us through the reservation platform where you made your booking rather than calling by phone.

Welcome to Enchanted.
By day, it’s a wonderland for families - children darting across emerald lawns, inventing kingdoms beneath the ferns, uncovering secret corners that feel drawn from a storybook. By night, it settles into something more grown-up - warm lights flicker, glasses clink, and conversations drift well beyond candlelight.
Weddings here feel almost otherworldly - a glass atrium drenched in natural light, surrounded by the quiet majesty of bush and birdsong. Retreats breathe deep here too - a sanctuary that stirs both creativity and calm.
There’s magic, yes - but not imagined. Lived.
In the rustle of palms. The soft glow of lanterns. The echo of laughter under timber beams. Every detail plays its part in the spell.
Enchanted isn’t just a place to stay. It’s a place to play. To gather. To celebrate. To feel something again. A hidden pocket of the coast where the trees lean close and whisper,
“Come closer - the story’s only just beginning.”
A little note for your stay at Enchanted
Because Enchanted is so beautifully tucked away and surrounded by nature, mobile reception can be a little patchy at times. To stay connected with ease, we recommend logging onto the property Wi-Fi as soon as you arrive so you can still stay in touch even when cell signal drops out in some areas of the property.
You’ll find all the Wi-Fi details in your guest manual, and once you’re connected you will be set for the rest of your stay.
This is a wonderfully family-friendly property, with plenty of space for kids to play and explore.
The outdoor area includes a 7 x 4 trampoline and a purpose-built zip line, a tree house, slackline course and your own private glow worm dell making it a great choice for families travelling with children.
Please note: Smaller children must be supervised when using outdoor play equipment please.
Whether it's an intimate gathering of two families reuniting, a luxurious Airbnb escape from the everyday, or a staycation that feels like you've crossed into another world entirely - Enchanted bends to your story. It holds space for whatever magic you're here to make.
By night, it shifts. Warm lights flicker, glasses clink, conversations drift long past dark.
Elopements here feel otherworldly - a glass atrium flooded with natural light, cradled by bush and birdsong. Retreats find their rhythm too - a sanctuary that stirs both creativity and calm. There's magic here. Not imagined. Lived.
In the rustle of palms. The glow of lanterns at dusk. Laughter echoing under timber beams. Every detail plays its part.
Enchanted isn't just a place to stay. It's a place to play. To gather. To celebrate. To sink into nature and feel wholly present. A hidden pocket of the coast where the trees lean close and whisper:
"Come closer. The story's only just beginning."
