Golden Bay Hideaway, 220 Mcshane Road, Wainui Bay, Takaka (2025)

The three accommodation options can be seen as an evolution of thinking regarding construction. The unspoiled, natural attractions of beautiful Golden Bay would be compelling enough for many, but if you are a builder, architect, engineer or just plain interested in eco-construction you will find this eye-opening. So why not come and experience sustainable housing in action? For more info and availability calendar please visit: http://goldenbayhideaway.co.nz/

Lol, what a wonderful review! We love it when people are a bit nervous about the compost loos and then get converted. The harakeke plantings and traps are really starting to pay off with an abundance of birdlife currently....Thanks Matt!

"We had a magnificent time at Little Greenie! Wonderful views, finding an unexpected new favourite album called ‘Pacifique’ to fuel the rest of our NZ road trip, comfy bed and star gazing, easy to use hot tub and of course frequent visitation from the friendly Weka which created hours of entertainment, alongside the bird calls of the Bellbird and Tui. Heaven on Earth, and we even took to the compost toilet despite initially feeling scared we’d fall in. Would love to come back one day and also check out the other properties Lawrence and Kylie offer. Great spot for exploring the surrounding area, we opted for l kayak hire with Golden Bay Kayaks from Tata Beach and found it challenging to spot Little Greenie on the hill with our binoculars, given it is so remote and perfectly and placed. Thank you very much 😊"

(We had to share this fantastic review from a favourite repeat guest, many thanks Mike)

"Wow!! Perfection on so many levels. 🌅🌌

Don't wait, if you see an opening then book as this place fills up fast.

My partner and I have stayed at Golden Bay Hideaway three times. Each time in one of the different accommodation options.

First the amazing House Truck - perfect cosy retreat for a romantic weekend. The outdoor
bath under the stars in complete privacy. Too relaxing.

Then years later Little Greenie and Kiwi Greenie - both feel luxuriously completed with so much attention to detail that we kept being surprised. Waking up to a perfect temperature and humidity levels is such a refreshing feeling. Only once you've experienced it can one understand how poorly most homes are insulated.

And the views from each home are breathtaking. Watching the tides and the sunsets. Pour a beverage and enjoy your time! We certainly did.

Thanks Lawrence and team for building your dream so we can come and stay 😊"

Opinion: Sometimes when we’re in the middle of Godzone, it’s a reminder of those who forged the original path that led us here in the first place, writes Gerard Hindmarsh
