Take a vacation in Kiwi Greenie and enjoy a future-thinking holiday house that catches all the afternoon sun, stores it, and maintains a comfortable temperature at any time of year.
Kiwi Greenie may appear to be just another modern, professionally finished house with stunning views in a beautiful location. Of course everyone will notice some differences sooner or later, but those interested in environmental technology and smart building will find the differences go right down to the foundations.
Kiwi Greenie is designed with four major principles in mind: Energy efficiency, low maintenance/longevity, ease of construction and value for money. It takes eco-home design a step further and improves on the award-winning foundation achieved in Little Greenie. It may be modern, but it’s not about frills or fashion; and while it is unashamedly utilitarian, it’s definitely not drab or boring. It's a living, breathing home.

Wow what a spectacular getaway. The views are outstanding and the quality of the kiwi greenie building itself is stunning. So warm (mid winter) and very well thought out. Communication and check in were seamless and made traveling with a baby very pleasant. We will stay again and would recommend everyone to take a break in Wainui Bay!

This place is awesome. What you see is what you get, but you can’t anticipate the silence and pure beauty. Would highly recommend as a great getaway to reset and good for the soul. Will be back for sure.

A beautiful place to spend a few days and explore the local area. Very secluded little spot.

We stayed here and absolutely loved the outdoor bathtub and the bay views. Bed is very comfortable and whole thing feels really lovely and private. Cleaning fee is quite high and house wasn’t fully cleaned on our arrival.. But not a deal breaker. Would also recommend booking direct through the Hideaway website and skipping the Airbnb fees ;)

A real gem. The view is unbeatable. Just bring a better car than we did for the road getting here and extra TP and courage for the composting toilet. 🚽🧻
