About this cabin rental

Secluded wooden double cabin in native bush with stunning views.

Listen to native bird song, watch stunning sunrises, and stargaze from lovely Tauhou cabin, at Ao Marama Retreat.

Tauhou is the Maori name for the native Wayeye birds which are abundant around the retreat.

The cabin itself is a double cabin of wood construction and built to minimise it s impact on the environment, with enough comforts to make your stay feel like a true escape.

Ao Marama Retreat in Golden Bay, New Zealand is a former Buddhist retreat set amongst 16 acres of Regenerating Native Bush. The retreat is nestled on a hill with sweeping views of the sparkling ocean below.

We have various lookout points and bush trails - one of which leads you directly down to Collingwood beach.

We strive to create a more sustainable form of tourism, and believe everyone has the right to travel the world but also a responsibility to reduce our impact on our planet. Our initiatives include:

- our water is all collected rain water

- we grow organic food in our extensive gardens

- have chickens for eggs

- reduce, recycle and re-use everything we can

Next step is to remove our dependance on the grid by installing a Solar and Solar PV system for our main home and cabins.

Golden Bay itself is a true nature lovers paradise - a unique blend of Mountains, Rivers, Bush and Ocean - and if you love the outdoors you will find what you want to do here - walking, cycling, mountain biking, swimming, kayaking, sailing, hunting, fishing. We can help arrange any of these activities.

Of course; if you just prefer to really unplug, slow down and enjoy nature you don t even have to leave the retreat - enjoy the beauty of nature and the bush from various lookout points, order an organic food pack to cook a lovely meal or do a yoga session on our viewing platform.

Come and be closer to nature.

We loved the bush setting, the magnificent sunrises, the closeness to the beach & Milnthorpe Park and the tranquility/peacefulness of the Ao Marama Retreat. We would definitely recommend the Retreat to others. It was also lovely to be able to take our dog.
