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 Weka cabin, at Ao Marama 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.

Perfect location, friendly hosts and ideal base for exploring Golden Bay and Farewell Spit. Loved the walk down to the beach and the outdoors setting. And no sandflies! Thankyou Duan and Elizabeth.

This is a querky place living in the bush and one to remember. Cedar Wood Hot tub an experience. Beds comfortable but duvet was too hot for us oldies! Living outside was a new experience but all that was needed in the kitchen BBQ was provided. Lovely walk down through the bush to the beach makes this place special.

Dreamy getaway

Dreamy getaway

Oh such a gorgeous setting, really cute huts all layed out between bush and fruit trees and vines, picking off delicious grapes on our way to the kitchen was delightful. Kitchen very well stocked with quality utensils, cooking meals was easy. Cosy blankets on the bed, great coffee made to order in mornings too! Elizabeth and Duan communicated with us promptly via message when needed, and were such a pleasure to chat too. They were really helpful and willing to share their local knowledge. Our little doggy was made more than welcome which is so nice. Then there is the view!!!! Wowsers, I took so many photos from the sun deck, it's incredible, uninterrupted nature 😍 Loved the path down to the beach too. We will be returning again before the summer ends, we both felt really relaxed there, just what we needed! ,

Review of kanuka cabin

Review of kanuka cabin

Duan and Elizabeth were superb hosts. We ended up staying In the kanuka cabin which has an ensuite and is very convenient. The site is just beautiful - peaceful, birds singing, sunrise and sunset and stars all magical. The kitchen is well equipped with a gorgeous view. A good place for meeting the other people staying at Ao Marama. We had a relaxing and very enjoyable stay here! Thank you.

A peaceful holiday retreat

A peaceful holiday retreat

A fantastic, remote spot along the Golden Bay coastline with stunning sea views and birdlife. We really enjoyed our stay in the Weka Cabin, one of the more remote huts at Ao Marama, and thought there were good facilities for the number of guests staying there at the time. Thanks Duan & family for a wonderful stay!
