Te Hāpua Coastal

Te Hāpua Coastal Tent sits on a hilltop on the 23-acre property, overlooking the coastline and ocean. Wake in the morning to the sunshine twinkling on the sea - and Kāpiti Island right out in front of you. On a good day, you'll also enjoy views to the South Island, and Mt Taranaki in the North.  For families looking to escape, we also recommend checking out the sister property, Te Hāpua  Wetlands. Te Hāpua Coastal is the perfect romantic retreat for couples. Decorated with a subtle Moroccan theme, a luxurious 4-poster bed and comfortable armchairs furnish the tent. A spacious verandah to the front of the tent creates a beautiful space for relaxing in the evening with a G&T. There's plenty to keep you happy right there. The comfortable surrounds may mean you're happy to just relax and soak up the views. A hot tub just off the verandah is perfectly situated to enjoy the stunning sunsets.  The property is 700 m from the beach access and 1 km from the water's edge.... just head down for a quick dip or a sunset walk.  FROM NZ$ 320 /pn Adults Only Check Availability & Book Sleeps 2 Check Availability & Book Previous Next Getting There FAQS Rates and Extras Booking Terms ADDRESS   227 Te Hapua Rd Te Horo Waikanae 5581 DIRECTIONS   Use Google Maps directions to get to the property.

For your own safety please do not touch any farm machinery, and do not enter any buildings on the property.
