About this property
Kiwi Greenie - Passive House, Golden Bay
Take a vacation in Kiwi Greenie and enjoy a future-thinking holiday house that catches all the afternoon sun, stores it, and maintains a comfortable temperature at any time of year.
For the holiday-maker interested in what Golden Bay Hideaway has to offer, Kiwi Greenie may appear to be just another modern, professionally finished house with stunning views in a beautiful location. Of course everyone will notice some differences sooner or later, but those interested in environmental technology and smart building will find the differences go right down to the foundations.
Kiwi Greenie is designed with four major principles in mind: Energy efficiency, low maintenance/longevity, ease of construction and value for money. It takes eco-home design a step further and improves on the award-winning foundation achieved in Little Greenie. It may be modern, but it’s not about frills or fashion; and while it is unashamedly utilitarian, it’s definitely not drab or boring. It's a living, breathing home.
Ideal space for a special getaway, ideal for families **Certified wheelchair access **Modern conveniences and comforts **Close to a range of activities **Craftsman's attention to detail **Extremely energy efficient **Warm all year round **Sleeps up to four people
There's no TV but you'll be entertained all the same: Beautiful Sunsets - over the water in winter and the mountains in summer. Walk to Wainui Falls -through lush original forest and over a swing bridge. Go swimming or birdwatching - the clear waters around Wainui Bay are ideal Paddleboarding and kitesurfing - awesome spot with northwesterly winds, flat water in the estuary with high tide and waves out in the beach.
Facilities: **Superking bed - can split into singles ($30 charge) **Separate bedroom queen bed **Indoor shower, compost toilet and outdoor bath **Radio, CD player, stereo with bluetooth connectivity **Fridge/freezer, cooker/oven and gas hotplate BBQ **Fully equipped kitchen with tea, coffee/plunger, milk powder, sugar **Linen and bedding provided **Underfloor heating

Wonderful location and views in this cool off grid house. It was a little hard to find as we arrived in the dark and the gravel driveway is very steep and narrow. The composting toilet took some getting used to. We enjoyed the easy access to Abel Tasman hiking tracks and beaches and it's not too far from decent nearby dining. A beautiful corner of the Golden Bay area
