Glenbrook Beach

Are you seeking a secluded retreat for two, where you can sit in an outdoor bath and sip champagne, while watching an incredible sunset? Listen to surf as you lie under amazing stars, viewing the Milky Way in all its glory! Watch deer as they scamper in front of the deck, and if you are lucky, see Orcas as they swim up the coast? Based near Karioitahi Beach (less than 55 minutes from Auckland Airport), our Seaview Retreat will ensure you have incredible memories to treasure. With a modern kitchenette, bathroom and two private decks, you can read your day away in the sun, relax in the outdoor bath, take a walk up to our private headland (where you can see all the way to Mt Taranaki on a clear day) or stroll down and find a secluded and private section of Karioitahi Beach (seven minute walk on the property), away from the hustle and bustle of crowds. Be aware, we pride ourselves on NO internet or mobile service at our retreat, so if you are wanting to still be in contact with the outside world, it’s a small stroll up the hill for both Spark and Vodafone mobile coverage. Perfect for times of celebration or reflection, such as a honeymoon, private retreat, anniversary, paragliding, creative break-out or creative writing. Unwind and feast on the beauty of Auckland’s ‘other’ West Coast. All photos are taken from our actual property, or from the beach at the bottom of the property. Fully equipped outdoor BBQ on the back deck and modern internal kitchen with a gas hob and fridge. However we don’t have a microwave or oven. All bed linen and bath towels are provided. Private check in anytime after 2pm. Just turn up and open the door! All yours! Please remember that we have no cell phone reception and no wifi at the cabin, however you can stroll up the hill for both Spark or Vodafone. Guests can access all areas of the property, including a private cliff top look out and shared walking access to the beach. Other things to note Unfortunately furry friends are not able to come and stay as we are surrounded by working farms with electric fences and large farm animals. Please do not try to sneak them in... There is also a lot of uneven ground once you leave the cabin and decks, so if you want to walk around the property, you will need a basic level of fitness. You will also need jandals (flip flops) or footwear on the beach as the sand gets very very very hot!
