Everyone welcome! 🏳️‍🌈 The space This light & modern self-contained apartment provides sweeping 270 degree panoramic views over New Zealand's Hauraki Gulf. It's very spacious and light and has it's own lounge kitchen area, a bedroom with queen size bed, a bathroom, a walk in ward robe and a little hall way. No meals included. Guest access The apartment is attached to our home, but completely separate, with it's own front door, kitchen facilities, etc. Guests also have access to the swimming pool, which is shared with the owners of the our home, but is not heated, so suitable for summer use only. Other things to note The apartment is self-contained, has its own entrance, but is part of a comfortable eco-house, from where we will assist in looking after the solar & wind power and firewood systems of the house. The unheated swimming pool with a view is available for a splash in summer. There is no reticulated power or water. We try to use as little power as posssible and ask you to do the same. Water is heated by the sun or by a wet-back heater. We will set the fire for you for the first night and you are welcome to help yourself to wood from the firewood shed after that. The very remote location only shared with your hosts is perfect for a honeymoon! Astronomers & other stargazers looking for a place without light pollution but with a large deck from where the night sky can be viewed in its full glory are also very welcome. Keep an eye out for diving dolphins, whales working schools of fish, graciously gliding gannets & cray fisherman checking their pots. You may occasionally have to check that your book is still in your lap & that your drink is still at hand, but you may completely forget about them, too. Once you're totally relaxed, you could go & explore the island, or have a splash in the shared unheated swimming pool (with views!!) in summer.
