About this property

Sub-Tropical Paradise Retreat Cozy Cabin, Infra-Red Sauna, Taupo Bay

Tucked away in a lush green oasis, this handcrafted wooden cabin invites you to unwind, restore, and reconnect — all while enjoying the healing warmth of a private infrared sauna (available on site).

🛏 The cozy cabin features:

A double bed, although it can also be transformed into 2 singles. And if you are coming as a family, it can fit a single bed with the double!

Large window with seating looking out onto palm trees and lush greenery

Warm, natural timber interiors and soft ambient lighting

Kettle, toaster, dishes and cutlery provided in the cabin, and outdoor camping stove for cooking available on request. You have access to full kitchen and bathroom in the main house a short walk away. The main house is open for use until 9pm at night. Bathroom and toilet are always accessible.


Your stay also includes:

Beautiful outdoor and indoor spaces to walk, meditate, or simply breathe

Optional upgrade: book soul-guided sessions, massages, or plant-based meals (on request)

Located just 20 minutes' drive from the picturesque village of Mangonui and only a 2-hour drive to the Cape, you’ll feel completely immersed in nature — while still being close enough for local adventures.

Perfect for:

Couples' retreats

Solo getaways to nourish your spirit

Writers, healers, and creatives seeking inspiration

Families wanting to reconnect

Anyone craving stillness, greenery, and genuine connection

Let the lush gardens, warm wood, and peaceful energy of this space hold you.

Book your stay and gift yourself the sanctuary you deserve.

The space.

The property has three distinct areas thanks to the creeks and lush trees. You will have your own private area with table and chairs. There is a lovely calm energy on the land.

There is parking on site. There is an infra-red sauna on site as well as a beautiful hexagonal structure used for yoga/treatments which will be available for use for a daily practice or for private treatments. We have a substantial vegetable garden so there may well be surplus food too.

Guest access
If you need to use a washing machine one is located in our home, the charge for usage is $2 per wash.

I have a bigger, more private cabin listed here too under the name Sub Tropical Paradise Retreat, Willow Creek if you'd like to check that out too.

A Sub-tropical Gift

We had a beautiful stay, and were so looked after by our host. Walking distance to the beach, and amazing property for the kids to explore. Our Japanese Cedar cabin was such a treat to stay in.
