Scenic views
This retro caravan is situated on a pretty, scenic coastline park alongside the coastal settlement of nearby Beachlands. The hosts have selected some stunning pieces of Omana Regional Park with sea vistas of the Gulf, ancient pohutukawa canopies, mangrove, and rainforest for guests to enjoy their bespoke, retro-inspired caravan.

Fitted out with everything guests will need for a perfect, blissful getaway, they will enjoy pink and tangerine washed sunsets, sparkling clear star filled evenings, and gentle, native birdsong which will surround guests' senses with the morning sunrise. Glampers shouldn't forget swimming gear, the white shelly beach below sparkles turquoise in the summer!

For the seasoned hikers, a great idea is a walk out to nearby historic Motukaraka Island to explore its forgotten, deserted shores and swim in the calm lagoons that appear at low tide. Ideal for a special occasion or a special, romantic getaway, this immaculately restored little gem will make this one of the most memorable getaways!

The hosts also hire retro bikes with baskets to explore the coastal cycleways and tracks on their doorstep. Guests should ask the hosts about the latest new location, on the water's edge at Pine Harbour reserve, the gateway to the marina and views of Rangitoto!
