Tucked away in the bush, a short walk from the beach
Kuaotunu Escape sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac above Kuaotunu, with native bush behind, farmland on one side and the sea out in front. Guests tell us the view is even better than the photos. One guest reckons they took about 500 pictures of it.
It feels a long way from anywhere, with birdsong in the morning and sheep and cows on the hill next door. Yet the beach, the café, Luke's Kitchen and the Kuaotunu Store are only a few minutes' walk down the road.
The house has been extensively renovated. The kitchen gets a special mention in review after review, and in winter guests love the heat pump, the double glazing, electric blankets and afternoon sun on the deck.
About this home
Escape to Kuaotunu and enjoy Private Seclusion and Ocean views on the the large decks of this recently renovated and modernised house that is only a short stroll to Kuaotunu Beach, Luke's Kitchen, Café and Kuaotunu Store.
Extensive renovations have given this 2 bedroom home the modern upgrade that makes it so comfortable to be here.
All the mod cons are on hand including Dishwasher, Heat Pump, Unlimited VDSL Wi-Fi , Smart TV, Double Glazing and Ceiling Fans in the bedrooms.
Add in the rural feel with farmland on one side and bush to the rear and you'll soon have a sense of being away from the outside world, yet not so far from the Beach, Restaurant and Café when you choose. If you feel like a stroll on the beach, a meal out in the evening or great coffee in the morning it's only a few minutes stroll down to the village.
A big relaxing lounge greets you on your return and a Smart TV and heat pump give you all the comforts that you will need if you just feel like staying in. There is a BBQ and a fully equipped modern kitchen including Electric oven, microwave and dishwasher if you want to make your favourite meals at home.
In the evening gaze out over the beach and village at the sunsets from the large deck as you enjoy some private outdoor dinning.
Later retreat indoors to play some board games on the dinning table or just sit around and chat or try out the electric foot rests on the couch and put your feet up for a bit while you catch your favourite Netflix or Youtube show on the wall mounted Smart TV.

What a beautiful spot to share with the world. Amazing views and so many comfy sitting areas to relax and enjoy the peace or do a puzzle. Toasty electric blankets were lovely to get into at night & beautiful sun filled afternoons on the deck were a delight!

An incredibly comfortable home with everything you need for your stay. It was very warm, tastefully decorated and with the most incredible view. Kuaotunu village is lovely with a beautiful beach. We had a wonderful winter holiday.

Location was excellent, we have a boat and like to launch At Kuaotunu so it was perfect to keep an eye of the sea, the house was beautiful and modern and lovely and clean, and has everything you might need.

Private, luxurious, spotlessly clean - a view that takes the breath away!
A stone's throw from great beaches, cafes, restaurant, corner store - what more could you want? I would definitely recommend it and (the best compliment of all) I will be staying here again.Show moreShow less
Where you'll be

Quieter beaches and bays, including Opito Bay, are a short drive away. More in our Kuaotunu guide.

Good to know
What happens after I book?
Whichever site you book through, we then send you a link to our guest portal. That's where you complete a short check-in form and get the door code and house guide, and where a refundable NZ$250 security deposit is taken as a hold on your card before check-in. It's a separate step from Airbnb or Booking.com, so it's worth doing before you set off.
Can we bring children?
We recommend Kuaotunu Escape for guests aged 12 and over, because of its rural setting and large areas of glass.
Can we bring our dog?
Sorry, no pets. There's livestock on the neighbouring farm.
What's the blue building in some of the photos?
A separate annex that isn't used by guests and isn't occupied. You have the whole house to yourselves.
Is it a good winter stay?
Yes. Guests who come in winter mention the heat pump, the insulation, the electric blankets and sunny afternoons on the deck. On a wet day there are board games inside.
