Stunningly Private Piha Retreat | House in Piha

The Miller Family purchased a 7 acre native bush block in 1924. It is now registered with the Queen Elizabeth Trust and has an open space covenant on it i.e. protected native forest. There is a labyrinth of bush tracks and an old dam on the property. The property is 7 kms from Piha Beach with beautiful bush and sea views over the Tasman Sea and Lion Rock.
There is also another original bach on the property which is advertised under "unique bush property" Yes, you can even book out the 2 properties if you require larger separate accommodation. The houses are all private from each other.
This fabulous new Retreat was designed by Chris Tate who won international acclaim for his "Glasshouse" in Titirangi.
The decor is beautiful, you will watch the sun go down from the deck at night; and have an amazing peaceful sleep on the NZ made Cotton and Latex mattresses. The 2 queen-size beds are the only sleeping facilities - no fold-out or portable beds are provided.
It has a special feel about it, with a quirky design "feature" of an outdoor kitchen sink. And our guests love the outdoor bath (with hot water). The open plan living room has an enclosed fireplace (for use of winter months), small tv with freeview & dvd player. There is a heatpump in the lounge and electric blankets on both beds. The lounge has a fireplace with firewood provided over winter months.
What else can we say ..... you will love it
The Retreat is self catering. There is a small Breville bench-top oven - called a "smart oven", an electric frypan, small slow cooker, rice cooker, 2 solid elements, pots and pans + the Webber BBQ (out on the front deck).
We provide:
Filtered drinking water
Tea/coffee/sugar
Salt/pepper/cooking oil
Firewood (provided over winter months only)
As we are part of the Waitakere Ranges we are on tank water so supply may be limited in summer months. The very occasional power outages in the area means that no water will available during any outage because of the electric pump - this doesn't happen often.
This property is not suitable for pets.
A request from us - when you send your booking request please include some details about your group e.g. who they are and what they do - this is very special family land and we like to have a little information about our guests.
My nephew Michael is our custodian and lives in another house on the property - he will usually be there when you arrive.
Our property is not suitable or available for events or parties so please do not be offended when requests such as these are declined. Thank you for your understanding.

Transport
We strongly recommend you have a car for your stay. It is highly unlikely that an uber or taxi from the airport will agree to bring you to the Retreat. And you will need a car to be able to do some food shopping for your stay. Also a heads-up that campervans are not able to get up our driveway.
