The Cape View Pacific Ocean Experience

True experience seekers will love living on the edge of the Pacific Ocean in a recently refurbished and fully insulated double glazed tiny home aka The Cape View Shed. Set in a quiet beachfront residential location exuding seaside charm with a magnificent view of Hawke Bay and an uninterrupted view of Cape Kidnappers.

Capture the sun and moon rising while relaxing in the cedar hot tub which is chlorine free and uses a spa treatment containing colloidal silver. On occasion witness a seal sunbathing or a pod of dolphins swimming out at sea.

The Cape View Shed is a light filled space with open plan living/sleeping with a separate bathroom with twin Italian basins, one for washing dishes and one for personal hygiene both with modern gooseneck taps. Suited for maximum of two guests. The accommodation provides a queen size bed and a small single divan bed. Kitchenette with microwave and fridge only. Smart TV. External caravan plug. Macrocarpa decking areas are for your sole use as is the Weba BBQ. You are welcome to use the fire pit also. Two bikes are available on request at time of booking to explore the coast via the cycle paths.

Approximately 700 metres to Elephant Hill winery. Also very close to Clearview and Te Awanga Estate Wineries. A two minute walk to the Brown Dog Coffee Cart, Four Square, Gannets Bar & Grill and Capeview takeaways.

The accommodation also has the Cape View Cottage located on the site, being the owners private holiday home. When the cottage is in use the Cape View Shed is made unavailable on the website to ensure your privacy. The cottage has separate outdoor areas to the roadside lawn and verandas to the seaside which you are welcome to enjoy also. Your privacy is our priority.

The property is fully fenced and gated with off street parking. Visit the Gannet Sanctuary or play golf at Cape Kidnappers. The fact the Cape View Shed is excitingly close to the Pacific Ocean is the magic of the place. You will hear the sea and at times the sea can be wild.

The outdoor areas are elevated above the stoney beach and are protected by a big sea wall which is a handy spot to fish from. There is access down to the waterfront which you can walk along in low tide.

This is a holiday experience out of the ordinary.

Stunning.
What a beautiful place to stay! Our host was so welcoming and even opened their own home so I could cook dinner for friends also staying in the area. The area is handy for good coffee, meals, the beach, and wineries. I would recommend this place and will stay again. thank you.

Fabulous oceanside weekend away
My husband and I stayed at Jane’s lovely spot in Haumoana and it was a wee slice of paradise. Communication prior was thorough, warm, and friendly - and everything was exactly as we had imagined it would be upon arrival. The small thoughtful touches like chocolates and local wine (Elephant Hill Winery, just a bike ride down the road) waiting for us (it was my husband’s birthday), the great tips for a successful stay in the area, the free loan of two bikes to explore, and the plethora of clean towels for the hot tub and the showers made the stay extra special. We so enjoyed the colour and warmth of the village - a Four Square and a fish and chip shop walking distance from the bach - we got fresh Bluff oysters for a very reasonable price, as well as free limes from a neighbour. Exceptional value for money - going to sleep and waking up listening to the ocean lap the beach just outside our bedroom window was a peaceful treat. Highly recommend and will be staying again. Thank you so much for sharing your piece of paradise.

Perfect coastal getaway
Beautiful accommodation in a beautiful location. We were spoilt with good weather but everything about the bach makes a perfect getaway. The spa is devine, the location is perfect and the bach is very comfortable and cosy. Thank yoi for the special extras and the use of the bicycles were just great. We look forward to staying again soon.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
The Cape View was a perfect stop on our trip through New Zealand. Being right on the water, the sound of the ocean waves made for a soothing and relaxing break after several days of hectic travel and activities. The hot tub offered that extra opportunity to unwind after the bike ride along the coast to Clive. The accommodations were spotless and well-equipped. Our hosts, Jane and Mark, were extremely responsive and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Our only regret is that we only booked for 2 nights.

Peaceful Seaside Stay
We stayed in this cute shed by the sea for 3 nights. You won’t find anywhere closer to the ocean in NZ (unless you are on a boat!). There are plenty of places on the property to sit and relax, including the hot tub! Location is excellent with 3 wineries within walking distance. The local bar and takeaway shop are excellent. There is a great bike track from the front gate. Highly recommended.

Excellent start to our NZ tour.
An excellent stay at this compact but comfortable Bach. The sound of the sea sent us off to sleep in a wonderfully comfortable bed after a few glasses of fantastic New Zealand red in the cedar spa. The trip up Mt te Mata was a must, if a tad breezy.

Haumoana B&B - What a lovely spot
Really lovely accomodation. Cozy inside, and a spacious outdoor area with a hot tub on the deck and of course, a beautiful ocean view. Had everything we needed. A minute to walk to a bar and small grocery shop. Highly recommend and hope to book there again next time we visit Hawkes Bay.

Wow, what a wonderful sanctuary, listening to the waves, watching the full orange moon rise, star gazing and the stunning sunrise...Bliss. The binoculars, kindly supplied, were an added bonus to seeing further afield. So much to see and do in the area. We had the best weekend and will be back. Thank you Jane.

A great place to relax and enjoy the sound and sights of the sea. The accommodation was exactly as described and photos were accurate. Nearby wineries and food and coffee outlets were just a stroll away. Many thanks to our hosts who were very welcoming and made our stay so enjoyable. Looking forward to a return visit!

Awesome little gem
We really loved our stay. The property was super cosy and spotless with amazing views of the ocean from inside and out. 4 square was nice and handy as was Gannets bar for a beer and a pizza. It rained while we were there but didn't really effect things and made the hot tub even better. We really enjoyed cycling to the surrounding wineries and would very much recommend this property.
