Mahurangi River · Warkworth
An eco-luxury tiny house for two, hidden in twenty-four acres of native bush. Under an hour from Auckland, and a world away from it.
Warkworth · Mahurangi River
An architecturally designed, eco-luxury tiny house hidden in twenty-four acres of mature native bush, with a private track winding down through the trees to the Mahurangi River.
Slide back the glass doors and the open-plan living area becomes a full-length timber deck — spa pool, BBQ, and the mist coming off the river at breakfast. Kākā, ruru and tūī in the canopy. Your hosts live elsewhere on the property, out of sight, so the house, the deck and the spa are yours alone.
Warkworth is 1.8 km away. Auckland is under an hour.

Your hosts
We live on the property too, further along the drive and well out of sight. You might pass us coming or going, and that is about it. The tiny house, the deck and the spa are entirely yours, and self check-in means you come and go as you please.
We built the retreat to be the kind of place we would want to escape to ourselves: quiet, comfortable, and surrounded by birds. If you want a recommendation for dinner, a beach or a walk, ask. If you would rather not see anyone for two days, you won't. Either way, we are a phone call away if anything needs attention.

We had such a beautiful, peaceful stay. The place was private, relaxing, and the perfect spot to unwind. Everything was lovely, and we really enjoyed our time here. Would definitely recommend staying!

Words hardly do this beautiful tiny home justice. Every day we discovered another thoughtful touch, from towel hooks beside the spa to a hidden dishwasher in the kitchenette. So much care has gone into this space, and it shows.

Quiet, wonderfully private and filled with birdsong, it was pure bliss. Dave and Jo were amazing hosts. A welcome note, chocolates, homemade marmalade and a heated spa greeted us, with everything we could need and more.
When we accidentally tripped a circuit, they made sure everything was sorted with minimal fuss and surprised us with a beautiful cheese board in a woven kete. It hadn’t troubled us at all, but their kindness made us feel so cared for while respecting our privacy. The zucchini plant to take home was such a lovely finishing touch!
We left feeling relaxed, grateful and amazed by the care behind every detail. Thank you, Dave and Jo, for such a special stay. We can’t wait to come back!

A peaceful couples retreat with everything you need. Friendly hosts and an immaculate place to stay. We highly recommend to others. Loved the outlook and the sound of birds. Special little treats and loved the fresh flowers by the bed.

A private track through the bush down to the river. The spa heated and waiting on the deck. Under an hour from Auckland, and a world away from it.
