About this house rental
🌿 A Haven at the Edge of the World
Karu ō te Kiwi is more than accommodation—it’s an experience. Nestled in 25 acres of pristine native bush, the property gazes out across the dramatic sweep of Farewell Spit and Kahurangi National Park. Guests wake to soul-stirring sunrises, the sound of native birds, and the endless horizon of the Tasman Sea.
The name 'Karu ō te Kiwi' translates to 'Eye of the Kiwi' in Te Reo Maori- The Spit forms the ‘birds eye view’ of Golden Bay into the shape of New Zealand’s very own national bird - the kiwi.
🏡 The Retreat
Entire home rental: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps up to 7 guests. The accommodation is spread between the Hillside Home and the elevated Tree Top Suite, nestled amongst the native bush. Both spaces are included in your stay, offering a little extra privacy for families and friends travelling together.
Amenities: Fully equipped kitchen, large lounge, fireplace, washer/dryer, and pet-friendly options
Outdoor living: Expansive deck with dining space, perfect for stargazing or sunset dinners
Extras: Complimentary welcome basket of local goodies on arrival. Stand-up paddle boards and life jackets for your use around the bay.

This home was excellent for our group of 6. Everything as shown in the listing. Lovely view, warm, homely with nice quality linen and special treats and touches by Canada, the host. Some lovely bush walks on the doorstep. We would definitely book this property again.

Nice house, well maintained and lovely view.The only little recommendation: Some sun protection for the kitchen windows and on the terrace may be a good idea, when the the weather is as nice as we could enjoy it.
