Head down a few steps to a quiet, sandy beach with views across the harbour to Mt Manaia - perfect for a swim at full tide, or a stroll along the beach when it’s out. Enjoy a peaceful couples’ escape with a well-equipped kitchen, private patio, and everything you need to settle in. Wander to nearby cafés, explore by bike, or relax under the shade of the pōhutukawa trees. A cosy, self-contained studio right on the water’s edge at One Tree Point - ideal for a peaceful couples’ getaway, solo retreat, or anyone visiting the area for work or business. Compact, quiet, and comfortable, the Beach Hut is part of a small block of six units, with its name inspired by the classic beach huts and boat sheds found along coastal shores. You’ll have everything you need to relax, unwind, and soak up the coastal atmosphere. STUDIO SPACE: Comfortable double bed with stunning sea views Sofa and coffee table Smart TV Fan for summer and a heater for cooler months KITCHEN: Microwave, oven and small fridge Coffee plunger, tea, sugar, olive oil, salt & pepper, and basic herbs/spices Crockery, cutlery, and cooking utensils provided BATHROOM: Shower, toilet, and wash basin Outdoor cold shower for rinsing off after a swim LAUNDRY & STORAGE: Private storage shed (in carport) Upright fridge/freezer (if you need more space) Washing machine (cold wash only) Drying rack and external clothesline OUTDOOR SPACES: Your own small patio with table and chairs Expansive shared front lawn with BBQ table and sun loungers (shared with neighbouring units) Steps from the lawn down to the beach PARKING: Undercover parking for one car Guests have full access to The Beach Hut, including a private carport and a storage shed with laundry facilities. The property is part of what was once the Harbour Lights campground - now a small group of privately owned holiday units sharing a peaceful, coastal setting. It’s quiet, laid-back, and full of classic Kiwi holiday charm. There’s also communal seating on the front lawn, shared with neighbouring unit owners - a great spot to enjoy the view or have a friendly chat. Staying as a Group? We also manage several other waterfront units in this quiet block, including The Beach Hut and The Boat Shed, a nearby two-bedroom bach. If you\`re travelling with others or looking for more space, feel free to check our profile or message us for availability. Great for small groups who want a mix of shared time and private space. TRANSPORT: There is no public transport in the area - you\`ll need your own car. Bring bikes as it is a perfect area for riding around, but just as good to walk around - we recommend stopping off at the Marsden Restaurant & Cafe in the Marsden Cove Marina! THE AREA: One Tree Point is a relaxed coastal community on the shores of Whangārei Harbour, perfect for a low-key getaway. It’s mostly quiet year-round and has a great holiday vibe during the summer, offering a mix of peaceful seaside living and easy access to local spots. The area is great for walking and biking, and you’re just a short stroll from the Marsden Cove Marina, where you’ll find several options for dining, including breakfast, coffee, and dinner by the water. For beach time, swim at high tide just out front, or drive 10 minutes to the surf at Ruakākā Beach. Boat ramps at One Tree Point and the Marsden Cove Marina are just minutes away, and you’ll find groceries, takeaways and fuel close by at the Four Square or Ruakākā Shopping Centre. Historic Waipū village is also an easy drive, with its museum, cafés and boutique shops, and on the way is the Waipū Golf Course, a scenic public course right on the waterfront at Bream Bay. These waterfront units are part of what was once the Harbour Lights campground - now a laid-back group of holiday apartments. The views across the harbour to Mount Manaia and the port are always changing, from misty mornings to golden sunsets. Whether you\`re here to explore, unwind, or stay for work, it’s an easy place to settle in. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Limited on-site parking (max 1 space) ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Freezer - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 private bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Single level property - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the bay - Near the marina - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Bicycles - Boat - Kayak - Paddleboard - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bicycles - Garden ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 25 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Rules No noise after 9.30pm ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.

Their utmost concern that our staff over a several month period have been comfortable, supportive and happy not only with accommodation but with their time in general whilst visiting the area supporting business activities. Mark and Leone have also been really flexible and even supported one of our employees with opening a bank account locally. Thank you to them both, and I look forward to engaging them and their lovely unit again in the future. ##### Tristen L.
