About this property

Woody Mamaku Retreat . Eco stay close to sea and nature.

  • Take time to enjoy a cool forest, bird song , frogs and the 10 minute walk down a quiet road to the golden sands of Ligar Bay and after, a secluded soak in an outdoor bath , big enough for two with a beautiful view.

    Woody Mamaku Retreat is an unique and enlivening indoor and outdoor accommodation on the edge of secluded kanuka forest.
    The cabin is a c.1950 steel kiln controller room lined in beautiful cypress from locally grown trees with views through a park like setting to the bay and beyond. This comfy room with double bed is connected to a small sunny front deck and a semi covered back porch kitchen with four gas burners, a small fridge,cutlery, cooking utensils, plates etc etc. A hot shower, an out door bath and a separate compost toilet 5 metres up the path. Built in local macrocarpa timber the back porch, toilet and front deck have a natural woody character.
    It is off the grid , gas and solar powered with 4min eco showers to conserve spring water. There is very limited mobile phone coverage at the cabin but is fine at the beach.
