About this Holiday House

Unique native bush foreshore setting comprising of 2 attractive stand alone cottages, one for living, one for sleeping (see detailed photo) with very attractive sea views, only meters away from waters edge.

Road access, sealed to property, steep drive (2 wheel drive ok), 40 steps from carpark through native bush to cottage, needs a little fitness. Unobtrusive owners live on site.

We absolutely loved our stay at Karamu. Our hosts were welcoming and then left us to our peace and quiet. The accommodations are clean and tidy. Providing us a home away from home. It's a great place to base yourself to explore the Sounds. I'd now love to come back in the winter to experience it in a different atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend you come and stay.
Response from Owner
Thanks very much for your great feedback Tracey we would love to have you back again
Charis
Stunning views, incredibly peaceful, lots of birdlife, and welcoming hosts - a perfect getaway allround. Thanks for having us.
Lucy
Absolutely loved our stay at Karamu. All the amenities you need for a truly wonderful escape. We used the dinghy and kayaks every day. Amazing bird life and scenery from the living area and main bedroom, we used the time to sign off from internet and just enjoy the surroundings. Would love to return again in the future! Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise.
