Golden Bay Hideaway

House Truck is a lovingly restored and beautifully presented old house truck with fantastic sea and mountain views in a private bush location. This fully equipped wagon is a cosy sanctuary to restore your pioneer spirit.

A wood fire keeps the beautifully crafted kauri and oak timber interior warm on cooler days. This is the ideal place for a couple to get away from the hustle of daily life. Even in stormy nights staying in this house truck is a comfortable experience.

There is plenty of room for parking or an extra tent and the generous surroundings are all yours.

Forth time back at the house truck and still just as good. It’s in its own little slice of paradise. Very private and peaceful. The house truck has everything you need and the best outdoor bath. Thanks for another great stay!!

What a piece of paradise! Beautiful views, peaceful and serene. Highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet spot, off grid with amazing sunsets.

We had a lovely time. Although it's a house truck, it has all the amenities, and the outdoors shower and bath are divine. It was also warm, and that was without lighting the fire.

Truly special place. Everything from the cheeky shower loving weka to the unique fitout (beautiful woodwork/leadlight) was great.

What a find!! An absolute slice of heaven. Tucked away in a private little piece of native bush, overlooking the beautiful Tasman, yet just a 20 minute walk to the bay. The Truck is a fantastic restoration and with the outdoor bath provides all we needed for a family of 4 (2 little ones shared beds with us). Lovely and responsive owners. Can’t wait to come again and stay longer next time!!

We utterly enjoyed staying in the house truck. It was unique, very private, and the surroundings offered so much interest from regularly visiting native weka families to amazing landscapes. The outdoor bath tub was a huge hit and we also liked how environmentally conscious it all was with the composting toilet to the green waste collection and solar powered lighting. Thank you!

If you can get a room here then do. Me and my wife stayed 3 nights here while on our honeymoon the location is private and the view is amazing. Would recomend this spot for anyone who loves nature and animals as we were frequently visted by a lovely family of weka and found glow worms near the property. This is absolutley the perfect spot for a holiday

Beautiful quirky house truck in a secluded setting with beautiful views. It is furnished with charming period fittings. We enjoyed the outside bath and shower - perfectly private - with views of sea and stars. All such fun!

I struggle to find the words to describe just how idyllic this place is. Piping hot water to enable full advantage to be taken of the outdoor bath & shower. The house bus is even more stunning in person and felt pretty spacious, even with (our) stuff spread everywhere!! Dont be scared of the loo, it was a delight and FAR better than many traditional ones. The collection of music took me back to the chillout rooms of 90s London trance clubs -perfect for summer evenings. Molly B's down the road is great for when the general store is closed. It was really difficult to leave, already planning my next trip!!!

Sehr gemütliche Unterkunft, der Truck ist echt cool und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Vom Bett, der Outdoor-Badewanne (mit warmem Wasser) und dem Picknick Tisch aus hat man eine wunderschöne Aussicht über die Golden Bay. Bei Regen gibt es eine große Auswahl an Büchern, CDs und Spielen bei gutem Wetter kann man den Abel-Tasman Track sehr gut erreichen, der Taupo Point ist um die Ecke und die Wainui-Falls Wasserfälle sind ganz in der Nähe. Das Bett ist bequem, alle Fenster haben Mückengitter, die Kompost-Toilette sauber und hygienisch und die Küche sehr gut ausgestattet. Lediglich der Backofen ist eher zum warmhalten - klein und mit Gas betrieben - wir würden empfehlen auf dem Herd zu kochen, denn das klappt hervorragend.
