Kawau Island Treehouse and Waterfront Holiday Home | 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.
