A Beach House At Piha - Oceanfront romantic hideaway (Whites Beach, New Zealand)

Om A Beach House At Piha - Oceanfront romantic hideaway

A whole gorgeous beachfront house for the price of a room! Toast marshmallows and yourself in front of a roaring fire by the roaring ocean, after a days work, a dip, a surf, a wonderful bush walk, canyoning, exploring the beach, or a night out meeting the locals, with our selection of trashy novels, jigsaws and board games, or on demand TV. Peaceful, wild, energizing and inspiring, Piha is magic in winter. Tucked away in the best location at the most popular end of New Zealand's most popular surf beach, a magic atmosphere and ever-changing panoramic view of ocean, beach, and rugged coastline. Beautiful summer or winter. An idyllic romantic retreat for 1-2, family getaway for up to 6 (with overflow sleeping up to 16, weather permitting), a picturesque and photogenic setting for events. Just a few steps onto the long beach of soft fine sand, the best surfing spot straight in front, patrolled swimming a stone's throw away (weekends in winter), and wonderful bush walks through spectacular scenery to lookouts, waterfalls, swimming holes and other natural wonders. Entertain in style on the huge deck to the sound of the ocean; or just relax and watch the world go by from the hammock, or toasting marshmallows and yourself in front of a roaring open fire. The house is orientated to the weather: facing the sun in winter, shaded by the gracious ancient Pohutukawa trees in summer. Sheltered from almost all wind. With a well set up kitchen (including basic condiments), outdoor furniture, "BBQ with a view", air conditioning and open fireplace, fresh herbs and lemons in the garden most of the year (grounds sand, grass and mature native trees), books and games, you can arrive and enjoy. There is excellent casual dining and takeaways (including organic) at 4 bar/restaurants an easy stroll along the beach or up the road. The Piha store has delicious home baking and gourmet takeaways (as well as essentials you may have forgotten). There is a funky art gallery with quality art to suit every budget, surf board manufacture and hire shops with fashions and souvenirs, a library and post office, and a native plant nursery. Surfing lessons available. There are social events throughout the year. One of the early batches built in Piha, this is our family holiday home, not a hotel: unique, quirky, unfussy, a bit rustic. We offer substantial weekly and monthly discounts: enter dates to view. (Please note we speak English only)
