The Duncan Cabin ís open plan with a cosy fire for winter nights, a large front veranda for alfresco dining, a BBQ, fire pit and outdoor seating with outstanding views of the water. There's a large lawn out back with plenty of room for parking. The outside shower under fairy lights (hot and cold) is a nice way to rinse off after a swim. The Cabin is located in Te Waitere village just 300 meters from the boat ramp, jetty and the Te Waitere Boat Club. The Club is open for meals from 6pm Friday nights (see bar staff to sign in). Please be aware the cabin is relatively remote with the closest store 40 minutes away Oparau Roadhouse for basic groceries, meals and fuel. If you are keen to explore, Kawhia township is 45 minutes away with the Sands Restaurant, a great fish and chip shop and a museum. An hour away is Waitomo Caves, halfway to Waitomo is Marokopa Falls and the Mangapohue Natural Bridge. Only 50 minutes away is Kiritehere Beach where at low tide you can find ancient fossils. Otorohanga has the Kiwi House which is just over an hour away. Raglan is 1.45 hours away with funky shops, the historic Raglan Hotel, a surf beach and Bridal Veil Falls. Hamilton city is 1.5 hours away with the famous Hamilton Gardens and Zoo. Or just stay close to home and enjoy star gazing at night on the front lawn, a harbour walk at low tide to left of the jetty or try your luck catching fish off the jetty. Please note the property is only partially fenced. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - No lift - Single level property - Smooth flooring in public areas - Stair-free path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property but there are gas appliances; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Recycling - Unit size: 1,615 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113410000/113400700/113400655/0286304d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### T's place Time to relax in Aotea Kawhia - Air-conditioning 6.0 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=113400655&PinnedHotelID=113400655&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33910000/33906700/33906695/9968da3d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Aotea Harbour bach, stunning views of the harbour Aotea - Kitchen - Outdoor space - Parking available - Barbecue grill 9.4 Exceptional 77 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=33906695&PinnedHotelID=33906695&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/39000000/38020000/38016800/38016758/36f7e280.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### House with stunning rural and sea views Kawhia - Kitchen - Washing machine - Outdoor space - Microwave 9.6 Exceptional 131 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=38016758&PinnedHotelID=38016758&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109210000/109209200/109209147/d55d39f6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quiet private bush out look but right in town.

FYI, the two bedrooms are curtained alcoves from the main room, so low on aural privacy. Extremely clean. Absolutely Superb! ##### Janet M.
