About this property

Tangahoe - The Great Escape

Tangahoe is a traditional Paekakariki bach, re-vitalised - in style and comfort - by Wellington architects Melling:Morse Ltd. A stone's throw from the beach, its generous living space extends onto elevated decks set amongst the tree tops. A serene double-bedroom hovers over a sheltered garden...(a couch/bed in the living area provides sleeping for 2). The bach is very sunny and warm but in a storm there is the comfort of a cosy fireplace.

The bach is a two minute walk from the entrance to Queen Elizabeth Park, and its magnificent coastal track (perfect for a leisurely walk, a bike ride, or a brisk 10k run). In the Village, the Paekakariki Cafe is a foodie's delight for breakfast and lunch; and a deli, bookshop and small art gallery completes the scene.

Beautiful house in a beautiful setting
We loved our stay. The main living area and decks were bugger than we'd anticipated and had a beautiful west facing aspect, perfect for lots of sun. The kitchen was extremely well equipped too. We felt like we could have stayed here much longer and would love to come back.

Blissful break
Loved the bach! So well set up and comfortable. It’s beautiful being amongst the trees and in a great location near the beach and walking/biking tracks. Thank you Margaret, I hope to be able to stay again.

Love Tangahoe
We had the best time at this super comfortable property. With gorgeous afternoon sun and two decks it's a real winner. We are already looking at dates to return.

Always a great stay
We have stayed here many times and always enjoy the experience. Plenty of space, comfortable (including the bed),inviting, well equipped, close to the beach and pretty much spot on in every respect. We will keep coming back.
