Kiwi Greenie - Passive House, Golden Bay

Take a vacation in Kiwi Greenie and enjoy a future-thinking holiday house that catches all the afternoon sun, stores it, and maintains a comfortable temperature at any time of year.

For the holiday-maker interested in what Golden Bay Hideaway has to offer, Kiwi Greenie may appear to be just another modern, professionally finished house with stunning views in a beautiful location. Of course everyone will notice some differences sooner or later, but those interested in environmental technology and smart building will find the differences go right down to the foundations.

Kiwi Greenie is designed with four major principles in mind: Energy efficiency, low maintenance/longevity, ease of construction and value for money. It takes eco-home design a step further and improves on the award-winning foundation achieved in Little Greenie. It may be modern, but it’s not about frills or fashion; and while it is unashamedly utilitarian, it’s definitely not drab or boring. It's a living, breathing home.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Wonderful location and views in this cool off grid house. It was a little hard to find as we arrived in the dark and the gravel driveway is very steep and narrow. The composting toilet took some getting used to. We enjoyed the easy access to Abel Tasman hiking tracks and beaches and it's not too far from decent nearby dining. A beautiful corner of the Golden Bay area
