The Beach Hut - Waterfront Studio at One Tree Point

Wake up to water views at the Beach Hut - a sunny, self-contained studio right on the waterfront at One Tree Point. Head down a few steps to a quiet, sandy beach with views across the harbour to Mt Manaia - perfect for a swim at full tide, or a stroll along the beach when it’s out.

Enjoy a peaceful couples’ escape with a well-equipped kitchen, private patio, and everything you need to settle in. Wander to nearby cafés, explore by bike, or relax under the shade of the pōhutukawa trees.

TRANSPORT:
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 Restaurant & Cafe in the Marsden Cove Marina!

THE AREA:
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 around the corner at either the Marsden Cove Marina boat ramp, or the One Tree Point boat ramp.

Just a short walk away is the interesting Mardsen Cove Marina. 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.

The Beach Hut looks out across Whangārei Harbour, with sweeping views of Mount Manaia, the moored boats, and the distant port. The view is always shifting – sometimes mystical in the morning mist, glowing at sunset, or crisp and clear in bright sunshine. Whether you’re watching the boats drift by or the port lights flicker at night, it’s a view that never gets old.
No noise after 9.30pm
