3 Bedroom House in Kawau Island

A wonderful summer and winter retreat. There are no roads, cars or shops on Kawau so this is truly a place to get away from it all to relax and unwind. Only 1 hour 30 mins from Auckland to Sandspit and then 30 minutes by ferry or water-taxi to the island which drops you off on a wharf right in front of the house. Alternatively you can launch your own boat from Sandspit.
The house is perched behind a large pohutukawa in a quiet and peaceful location directly above the water. It is very comfortable, with 3 bedrooms sleeping 6 and has full white-ware and entertainment amenities.
Relax on the large deck at treetop level and watch the boats go by, listen to the birds, fish or swim from the wharf, kayaks are available, clay tennis court and walks to enjoy. Plenty of grounds for children to play and explore. Relax by the fire during winter.
Full use of the wharf and mooring.
If you don't have your own boat you can arrange to catch the ferry or water taxi to other locations on the island.
Mansion House Bay can be visited any time of year although the house itself is typically closed for entry during winter months.
A full information manual is supplied regarding getting to Kawau Island and use of the house.

Summary: We had a little long weekend winter stay at the Kawau Treehouse and loved eery second. Michael was incredibly thorough on directions, ferry and parking logistics etc. He also sent through a massive booklet of activities and information so we knew exactly what to take and what not to take across to the island with us. It was such a well set up place and we will definitely be returning. HIGHLY recommend. Great host, great location and lots to do!

Summary: Magic spot right on the water. Easy trip from Sandspit to the treehouse jetty and then onto the mooring. Fully equiped kitchen and home. Fenced deck for the pups and amazing views. Michael provided very informative info on absolutely everything from parking on the mainland to what the island has to offer made it a seamless getaway. One of the best.

Summary: We boated over from Sandspit to this part of paradise. The house had all we needed for the weekend - very well equipped. The information from the owners was superb - both about the island, mooring and house. We enjoyed great walking, fishing and plenty of tennis. Totally recommend this place.

Summary: The house was absolutely lovely and the fully fenced balcony was fantastic in keeping our 2 small pups in. The kitchen was well stocked with all the condiments, pots/pans that you would need. Kayaks and life jackets of all sizes were available for use and you were super close to a lovely quiet little bay. Not a holiday for people who want the convenience of restaurants and catering but I personally found the seclusion from city life delightful. Would absolutely recommend Michael and his Kawau Treehouse for a holiday!

Summary: We enjoyed our time at Kawau Tree House, the tree house is very quaint, the views are magical at any time of the day. Having the kayaks available was an added bonus. Lots of great walks from the house(particularly the walk to Vivienne Bay), staying on Kawau, it was easy to explore the island and what it has to offer. Will definitely stay again. Thank you for letting us stay at your bach.
