Pīwakawaka | Coastal Retreat for Families & Friends | Waipatiki Beach | House in Tangoio

Pīwakawaka — Your Place to Slow Down
Some places invite you to do more. Pīwakawaka invites you to do less — to wake to birdsong, wander down to the beach, linger over breakfast, and let the day unfold at its own pace.
Nestled beneath native forest and just a short stroll from the shoreline at Waipatiki Beach, Pīwakawaka is a thoughtfully designed three-bedroom coastal retreat made for relaxing, reconnecting and enjoying time together. With modern comforts, beautiful natural surroundings and a relaxed coastal feel, it’s a place where you can settle in and feel at home from the moment you arrive.
A Place to Gather
At the heart of Pīwakawaka is the open-plan living space, bringing the lounge, dining area and fully equipped kitchen together. It’s a comfortable space for slow breakfasts, shared meals, afternoon drinks and evenings spent together.
Open the doors and let the coastal air in, or head outside to enjoy the two distinct outdoor living spaces. The spacious deck is surrounded by native forest and birdsong, while the private courtyard offers another peaceful spot to sit back and relax.
Three Comfortable Bedrooms
Pīwakawaka has three thoughtfully appointed bedrooms, each designed with comfort and relaxation in mind.
The master bedroom is a peaceful retreat with a comfortable bed and a calm, restful feel — perfect for unwinding at the end of the day.
The second bedroom has two king single beds, making it a flexible space that works beautifully for both adults and children. Its high ceiling gives the room a lovely sense of space.
The third bedroom features a comfortable queen bed and a high ceiling, with natural, calming artwork adding to its relaxed feel.
Quality bedding and linens help make each room a comfortable place to retreat to after a day exploring the coast.
Cleverly Designed Bathroom
Although Pīwakawaka has one bathroom, it has been thoughtfully designed with the shower, vanity and toilet each in their own separate space. This means they can all be used at the same time without getting in each other’s way — particularly handy for families or groups getting ready for the day.
There’s also a hot-water outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off sandy feet after a day at the beach.
Life by the Coast
Waipatiki is a place where the pace naturally slows. Spend your days swimming, surfing, fishing, walking or exploring, or simply wander down to the beach and enjoy having nowhere else you need to be.
Back at Pīwakawaka, there’s plenty of space to relax. Read a book on the deck, enjoy a meal outside, listen to the birds in the forest or settle into the courtyard with a quiet drink as the day winds down.
In summer, make the most of long days by the sea. In winter, light the wood-burning fire, curl up with a book or board game, and enjoy the cosy warmth of the house.
Designed for Time Together
Pīwakawaka is more than somewhere to stay. It’s a place to pause, reconnect and enjoy the simple things — good food, fresh air, comfortable spaces and time with the people who matter.
Whether you’re here for a family beach holiday, a weekend with friends, a romantic escape or simply a few days away from the everyday, Pīwakawaka gives you space to relax at your own pace.
