About this property

Kawakawa House - Piha Holiday Home

  • This beachfront home features open-plan living, dining, and kitchen spaces with large windows showcasing stunning sea and bush views.

    Pet-friendly and just a 1-minute walk via a private path to a 2 km beach, it’s perfect for seaside strolls. Wake to native birds, enjoy spacious living for family and friends, and unwind with a relaxing bath after exploring Piha’s iconic black sand beach, surf, and rugged landscapes.

    Indoor comforts include board games, puzzles, and a telescope for all-weather entertainment. The beach track is just 100 meters away.

    Nearby dining includes Aryeh by the Piha Store, Murray at South Piha Surf Club (takeaway), and Brothers Beer & Juke Joint.

    For further adventure, the Waitākere Ranges - waterfalls and trails - are a 15-minute drive.

    Kawakawa House is your west coast retreat.
    As there is a drop into the bath, children should be closely supervised.

    The home features clerestory windows that wrap around the house. For guests who are sensitive to light, we recommend bringing an eye mask to ensure a restful stay.

    Please note the outdoor fireplace, BBQ and bluetooth speaker set up are currently not available for guest use.

    Do not park on the right of way. There is space for three vehicles on the property; any additional cars must be parked on North Piha Road.

    This is a pet-friendly property. Please keep dogs on a leash when using the driveway and do not allow them to roam freely around the property.

Idyllic setting.

Beautiful setting. Disappointed that the floors and windows were not clean throughout the house. We certainly left it a lot cleaner than we found it. The fire was fantastic at warming the whole house.

This has been one of our favorite houses to stay at in New Zealand! The house design is spectacular! Ocean view, close to the beach, but very private. We loved waking up in the forest.( forest views from both the master bedrooms). The inner courtyard is nice( sheltered from the wind).It would be really fantastic if there was a two person hot tub in this courtyard, or off the back walkway, in the forest.

Beautiful modern house in the trees. A bit form over function though. Some practical issues eg wood was a bit wet, no salt.
