Hidden amongst the stunning Umupuia beach, nestled below Duder Regional Park, sits Te Whetuki House. This isn’t just any beach house. It’s a gateway to a unique Kiwi experience. Te Whetuki House offers a classic bach experience. Imagine waking up to the sound of waves lapping against the shore, just a stone’s throw from your doorstep. The house itself boasts three bedrooms, perfect for a family getaway or a retreat with friends. A modern kitchen awaits, ready for you to prepare delicious meals with local ingredients. The wooden floors add a touch of rustic charm to the modern amenities. Just a short five-minute walk from Te Whetuki House lies the entrance to Duder Regional Park. This park offers breathtaking views over the inner Tāmaki Straits, a truly unforgettable sight. Explore the park’s trails and discover hidden coves and panoramic vistas. After a day of exploring, return to Te Whetuki House and unwind in the comfortable lounge. Cozy up by the wood fire on a chilly evening, or enjoy the warmth of the electric oil column heaters in the bedrooms. While Te Whetuki House provides all the essential kitchen appliances, including a fridge/freezer, stove, microwave, and even a toaster and kettle, you’ll need to bring your own linen, towels, and food. Don’t forget mosquito repellent – those pesky critters can be quite active near the beach! Te Whetuki House relies on tank water, so conservation is key. Enjoy a hot shower in the bathroom after a day at the beach, but remember to be mindful of your water usage. Te Whetuki House is more than just accommodation. It’s a place to create lasting memories. A place to connect with nature and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. It’s your own private slice of paradise, waiting to be discovered.
