The huts are inspired by the joys of simple lives led by the tides. Generally used for utilatarian purposes, the exteriors are influenced by the rustic Seaweed Picker huts, found further round Tauroa Point, and the rich history of the tramping hut, found dotted over New Zealand. The interiors have been reimagined to provide a balance between that which is essential and that little something extra. Taking care not to over engineer, leaving space for you to create your own version of paradise.

The space
A collection of structures through considered design, offer both community, and privacy and intimacy. Specific points of entry gently introduce visitors to the expansive views over Shipwreck Bay, up 90 Mile beach, as far as the eye can see. As the buildings naturally anchor into the land, you too find yourself easily settling in. Feeling the warm sea breeze, the smell of sunshine and salt, the simplistic huts allow you a more elemental experience. The slower pace lends itself to enjoying the pleasures of local produce, well made coffee in handmade ceramics, natural beds, luxurious linen and beautiful showers.

Guest access
Our office also houses our small library. You are more that welcome to borrow books and magazines during your stay. Shared garden beds. Behind the huts you will find two garden beds with mostly greens and herbs for fast picking. You are most welcome to gather something fresh to add to your meals.
