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

Enjoy ocean views from the large window while relaxing in a cozy queen bed — perfect for slow morning coffees.

There’s also a cozy double pull-out couch for relaxing or extra sleeping space.

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

The space

Reconnect with nature, nestled among native bush with stunning views of the Tasman Sea — just above the world-class surf breaks of Indicators and Whale Bay.

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.

Me and my partner absolutely loved our stay at this tiny home! Was so cozy inside with such a great view of the bush and the beach. Loft bed was super cute. Made for such a relaxing stay. The outdoor shower area was such a cool feature if you don't mind walking back to your room in your towel! Will definitely be staying here again next time we are in Raglan.

An excellent stay with Tanya in Kauri. We enjoyed 2 nights with a lovely sea view and a great outdoor shower. The place was well equipped with everything we needed. I would highly recommend. :-)

This is a beautiful place to stay! It is off the beaten trail, but is close enough to town to find anything you’d like! Everything there, and nearby was visually stunning, whether it was taking in the sunset out Te Toto Gorge, or taking a short drive to the nearby Bridal Veil Falls! Astra, their friendly dog stopped by on several occasions for some pets, and to make sure we were doing alright! Also, taking a shower under the stars was a great relaxing thing to do right before bedtime! Loved this stay, and highly recommend it!!
