Golden Bay Hideaway

This fascinating house was started over 25 years ago by some of the original ‘Hippies’ in Golden Bay and has recently been restored and skillfully completed. It's a funky and fun design with all rooms on different levels. The house is perfectly oriented towards the sun and views.

The cosy feeling of the wooden interior with indoor/outdoor living and stunning sea and mountain views make it hard to leave this place. You can watch the ever-changing moods of the sea from the lounge, enjoy the sunsets from the large deck or soak in the outdoor tub under millions of stars.

This home is great for family holidays as there is space for everyone.

Staying at the Hippie House was just perfect. The surroundings are peaceful and beautiful and the view is amazing. We loved sitting in the outdoor bath in the evenings! The house is fully equipped so it really felt like a home away from home. The place has great character and we just loved it here.

un havre de paix.. Maison au milieu de la forêt avec une vue de rêve ! on entend les oiseaux et on regarde la mer, c'est magnifique. Tout près du départ de randonnée du parc Abel Tasman, plage à proximité.

Great views and location is close to Abel Tasman track. Well equiped kitchen and plenty of space in the lounge area. Laundry available and undercover washing line is great for drying bike and running gear. Drive up access easy for unloading gear. Good size deck for lounging away and watching the sea.

Nice house. A bit out dated. Outdoor bath was shabby. No keys to the property. Beautiful views from the deck!

The hippie house was so cool! The bath tub outside on the deck was divine. A highlight of my vacation! Also the proximity to the Abel Tasman park is amazing. In the morning we easily started our hike to Mutton Cove. Wow the beaches were sooooo beautiful. I can't wait to go back!

Great house, deck views, kitchen, proximity to beach, service, hiking. Liked the remoteness, but 10 mile ride for supplies. Advise others to stock up in nearest big town before getting there. Outdoor flush toilet was unique ¬ a problem. Next door Tuis were very interesting &supportive community. Great place! Dan Drmacich &Barb Kruze

Maison sublime avec une vue merveilleuse, 5 minutes à pied de l’entree du parc, tout aurait été parfait si les employés des propriétaires avaient été aimables et accueillants. Autre bémol non précisé: maison inaccessible sans véhicule de location les transports publics n’y vont pas et il n’y a pas de taxi

Hippie House

This house exceeded our expectations - it's much better than it appears on the photos. It's wonderful space built on many split levels, in a secluded setting, and the views out across the deck are fantastic. We felt immediately at home and comfortable there, and Lawrence was very friendly and helpful. We had everything we needed and the kitchen is large and well stocked with equipment. The area is just beautiful, the bay and surrounding beaches are a joy to explore, just make sure you get your supplies on the way in. We loved our stay, and none of us wanted to leave!

Really cool and stylish space in a beautiful location. The view from the deck is amazing and the den is a great comfy spot for reading on a rainy day. We got some great advice from our hosts for local swimming and walking spots which we made the most of and loved. Would highly recommend to anybody looking for a place in Golden Bay.
