HĀHEI — COROMANDEL PENINSULA

The tide getshere first.

A cedar-and-glass pavilion on a pōhutukawa terrace, with the whole of Mercury Bay in front of it. Sleeps six. Booked direct, never through a platform. Scroll to come inside.

01 — ARRIVING

Park once. Stay put.

You come in off the coast road with the bay already lit, and the last of it is a sealed drive under the pōhutukawa. The door opens on a code we send you the morning you travel. No key handover, no meeting anybody.

02 — THE HOUSE

One long room, facing the water.

Board-formed concrete, dark cedar battens and glass across the whole sea elevation. It is one storey, so nothing in it is more than a few steps from the sand.

03 — THE ROOM

The sliders open and stay open.

Sleeps six across three bedrooms

The whole seaward wall slides away, so the room and the deck become the same space. The fire is laid before you arrive, for the evenings when the wind comes round.

Book it direct.

The house

Exactly what you get.

Three bedrooms, one big west-facing room, and a deck that runs the whole face of the house. Let whole, to one group at a time.

Everything, and nothing else

Tideline House is a three-bedroom pavilion on a pōhutukawa terrace above the beach at Hāhei, Coromandel Peninsula. It is let whole, to one group at a time, and only ever booked directly with us.

Room by room.

Every room faces the same way, because the view is the reason the house is here at all.

THIS HOUSE IS MADE UP. THE WEBSITE IS REAL.

The guest is yours. The stay is yours. The money should be too.

Every night you sell through a listing site, somebody who has never seen your place takes a slice of it. A site like this one is simply yours. Guests find it, they book on it, and the whole payment lands with you.

If you own a bach, a lodge or a holiday home, send me a message and tell me about it. I’ll tell you what I’d build and what it would cost, and it costs nothing to ask.
