About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Eco friendly, self sufficient house powered by the sun.
Granite Creek Eco Retreat is an eco-friendly, off grid, self-sufficient house surrounded by the Kahurangi National Park and the Tasman Sea. Built up on a knoll on the foothills of the National Park it has amazing views which makes bird life, stargazing, and sunsets incredible and will give you the sense of total isolation.
I personally built this house recently with the future in mind. With a passive, self sufficient design it utilizes the elements for a steady temperature all year round and uses the sun for heating, electricity and hot water. When it gets colder you can crank the Rayburn wood burner for extra heat, hot water and that slow cooked casserole.
A 50 m2 deck with stunning views makes outdoor living very pleasurable along with a fire bath for a good soak at the end of the day.
The house is located down the road from some of the best white baiting spots in the country and less than 10 km from 2 boat ramps and numerous beach accesses so fisher people and surfers welcome.
