Golden Bay Hideaway

Kiwi Greenie is a great place. Stylish home, really well designed and built, very private and with absolutely outstanding views. The views changed radically with the tide and the light, so provided a never-ending display. The outdoor bath was really nice; while looking up at the stars, we saw a line of Elon Musk's Starlink satellites moving across the sky. There were several very friendly weka, so friendly that one bit my toe while I was relaxing. They would take any opportunity to get inside and judging from the way they pooped outside, that would be a real mistake! The composting toilet felt totally normal and there was no smell, so don't let that put you off. The place is very isolated, but actually very well located relative to many of the key attractions. We went to Wainui Falls, The Grove, Totoranui Beach and Anapai Bay in Abel Tasman National Park, and Taupo Point, all of which are best accessed from Wainui Bay. The Anapai Bay and Taupo Pt walks were fantastic

One of the best places that I have stayed in a very long time. Arrived and drove up the hill to our own hidden house atop the hill.

Lawrence then arrived, welcomed us and explained about the house and surrounds - super friendly.

We then sat and watched the sun set, cooked dinner and then enjoyed the amazing nights sky from the external tub - given the little to no light pollution the sky was amazing!

Definitely a place to come and stay for a week to be disconnected from the world, no TV! House had all the required mod cons and a fully stocked kitchen to enable us to cook up a storm.

Will be back next time I am in NZ! Thanks for an amazing time guys! Well worth the visit.

Stayed at Little Greenie and can't recommend it enough.

Initially, it can be a little daunting when you hear about the compost toilet but really, it seems to work much better than a standard toilet!

The views are incredible and the room is always so warm and cozy.

Incredible for the price!

We loved our stay in Little Greenie. It inspired us to look toward a sustainable build in the future. The house was so warm in winter, had beautiful views to wake up to and the outside bath was such a treat. We'd love to go back.

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 😊
