Golden Bay Hideaway
-
Protecting Nature
By choosing Kiwi Greenie, you're directly supporting a nature reserve rehabilitation project.
-
Long Term Thinking
Everything we build and buy is high quality, low maintenance and as repairable as possible. The true definition of sustainability.
-
Ethical Comfort
We're proving that environmental consciousness and personal comfort aren't mutually exclusive.
-
Seeding the Future
We're not just thinking about the future - we're actively shaping it through our pioneering plastic recycling project.
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.

The most beautiful view, peaceful and private, very warm inside. Friendly hosts :)
Alexandra
Amazing place, stunning views, in such a calming environment. A true slice of paradise! We also loved the passive house design, so comfortable to sleep in at night, and relax in reading books. We didn’t need any heating, on the contrary we opened the doors to let some cool air in.
