Self Check-In
Check yourself in anytime it suits you.

Nestled in the tranquil native bush of Raglan, our tree house offers a serene retreat for two. The cabin is designed for you to enjoy a full undistributed view of the forest from your bed, providing a peaceful escape surrounded by nature.

The room contains a queen-sized bed, a fully equipped kitchenette with cooktop and fridge/freezer, and a private deck overlooking native bush. Enjoy the warmth of a heater and dehumidifier during cooler months and the coolness of the forest in summer.

The property features several unique structures spaced throughout the bush for maximum privacy.

The space
Fall asleep to the sound of waves and wake to morning bird song. Sip your morning coffee on the sun deck, enjoy a picnic on the lawn, and unwind in the beautiful outdoor hot water shower.

Tucked away in Whale Bay above the Indicators surf break, this magical spot is just far enough from Raglan to feel immersed in nature — yet only a 12-minute drive to town.

The north-facing land offers sweeping views of the Tasman Sea and coastline stretching toward Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland. On clear nights, the Milky Way glows overhead while ruru calls echo through the trees.

Guest access
Common spaces on the property for guests include the toilet block, shower, sun deck and lawn area.

There is parking on the road for guests. With the property being outside of town, it is best to plan to come by car.

Other things to note
To maintain the best view of the stars (often the full milky way) we have fairy lights around the section at night but please bring some kind of torch.

Please don’t come and expect town supply of services although we do our best you are in the bush in a rural setting with Starlink satellite internet and tank water.

One of our favourite AirBnBs to date! Loved the forest cabin - we were having a whistlestop night in Raglan and Tanya’s place was perfect although we wish we could’ve stayed longer… next time! The space had everything we needed, was super clean, comfy bed and tucked away in the forest which made it even more special. The outdoor shower was a highlight too! Thanks again Tanya & Tom - we’ll be back 😊

Such a little forest paradise escape. I especially loved waking up to the sound of the echoing tuis through the valley with the sea in the distance. Highly reccomend :)

This place was amazing, it was the best waking up in the forest and the bed was really comfy. We loved meeting Astra the dog who was very friendly and the toilets and outdoor shower were very scenic! Super easy to get to and it feels private as you have your own little space. Would definitely recommend this to anyone exploring Raglan who loves being in nature.

The forest cabin was a beautiful place to stay. I don’t think the photos do it justice - it’s even nicer in real life. We liked that it was tucked away from the other accomodation on the property, that you could see the trees from bed and wake up with the light and bird noise, and the fairy lights were a nice touch. The outdoor shower was also very cool. Would definitely recommend to others.
