Haumoana is a self-contained studio in Waikanae Beach. The space This is an original 1950s bach-style space, so expect a few quirks from this old girl. But it is a warm, dry, recently renovated cosy space with a modern ensuite bathroom. The room has a small kitchenette with all the facilities you need to keep your wine chilled and make your partner a morning cup of tea or coffee and toast (there is no cooktop). Please see photos to make sure it is suitable for your stay. The studio was recently renovated by hosts who love to travel, so you will find all the amenities to ensure a delightful stay, including a divine king-size bed that guarantees you a blissful night’s sleep. Outside is the perfect place to soak up the warm rays on your private, sheltered deck. You have the use of a Baby Weber BBQ, and a hot shower for rinsing off after a dip in the ocean. Guest access Access is by your own private drive, where you can park your car. You have your own private courtyard, where you won't be disturbed. Your host's house is to the rear of the section, but is separate from the guesthouse and courtyard.
