Additional Information

20 meters from your deck is the lovely white sandy inner harbour Pahoia Beach. The great thing about this beach is you are never faced with big waves, only gentle lapping at your feet. Bring your 4 legged family members, we have plenty of room.

Go fishing off the front lawn & catch your dinner, walk a short distance along the beach to Pahoia Domain & catch dinner off the rock. Enjoy the privacy but knowing you are only 13 minutes drive to Tauranga’s CBD.

- Outside BBQ with table and sun umbrella, outside lounge chairs
- Children’s activities and rescued animals' sanctuary. A kid’s paradise!
- Boating, fishing, swimming. We have kayaks you can borrow!
- Mesmerizing sunsets at your doorstep.
- Outside bath by the sea front which we can light a fire under, with a cold shower as well.

Sleeping 4 in total in 1 queen bed & 2 single (one is in the mezzanine), the perfect family or friends getaway.
Very clean, very tranquil with some premium home comforts, but we like to call it 'Back to Basics' in a good old kiwi style bach.

Own driveway to park outside.
45 seconds walk to the beach, you are welcome in the Birdhaven sanctuary, around the property walkway, over the two bridges to the turtles islands in the duck pond.

We loved our stay is the gorgeous little crab hut. Great location with beautiful peaceful surrounds. The short drive to the Fernland thermal pool on a grey dreary day was lovely and Ōmokoroa was perfect for a pizza from the Ōmokoroa Beach Pizzeria.

Loved this place and will definitely be recommending it to anyone who will listen 😃! Such a calm safe beach. We were lucky to have nice sunny mornings. Our 2yo daughter loved seeing all the animals. The location was ideal for us. Can't wait to go back

The place was absolutely angelic! Such a lovely little hut to wake up in with a truly wonderful view. We had a picturesque evening dinner outside while enjoying the sunset and embracing the true essen...ce of nature. It is so peaceful and quiet, and at night we could see so many stars! All of the rescue animals are so friendly and at home there. Tracey has done an amazing job at creating her own little slice of paradise.

Lover of animals and have rescued many which are here for your enjoyment.. Deer, Little Horse, Chickens, Ducks, and Turtles. I am an outdoorsy person, you'll always find me outside taking care of the animals, walking them along the beach, planting some native trees around the property, swimming at high tide or enjoying a cuppa out on the deck.
