About this Holiday House

Come experience a piece of paradise. Tumu Toka Retreat is a near new, spacious beach front house. With open plan living it has great indoor/outdoor flow. It has a covered alfresco area with deck chairs facing the beach and a lawn sloping down to the beautiful big sweeping beach of Porpoise Bay. It has stunning 180 degree views of the beach, bay and beyond. With under floor heating, electric fire & double glazing it is warm enough to relax, re-energize and recharge the soul on the coldest of days or open the doors wide to allow the indoors to join with the outdoors on the sunny days. You can rise early to catch a stunning sunrise, watch the dolphins & surfers from the breakfast table, and take in the views from the comfort of the living room, lounge or deck chairs as you wish. At night you can hear the lively conversations of the little blue penguins. This is a very warm sunny house suitable for a romantic night for 2 in a very special part of New Zealand.

We loved relaxing in Tumu Toka Retreat. It was the perfect place to recharge our batteries and be amazed by nature. The house is warm and clean with great hosts. We will be back!

Absolutely stunning! Views to die for, beautifully presented and everything you'll possibly need. Resident penguins and awesome surf watching. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

We stayed for twelve nights at this amazing beachfront house and loved everything about it. The house is stylishly yet comfortably presented with everything you need for a wonderful stay. The location lends itself beautifully to dolphin watching, walks along the beach and nighttime penguin encounters (from a distance!). We were close enough to small southern towns and golf courses to ramble around this beautiful part of New Zealand. Communication with the owners was always easy and pleasant, and overall a five star stay.
