About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Oasis in the Heads

Welcome to our Oasis in the heads!

Boutique accomodation with 2 “Ecospace” tiny homes, and a converted double 40ft container home.

This is the perfect getaway for families, and groups to relax and unwind in nature.

Set in a private rural setting, with multiple communal spaces and amenities to enjoy on site.

Just 2 mins drive to the surf beach, Heads township, and golf course, it is a great base for exploring the wonders of Magical Mangawhai and all that the Northern region has to offer.

True Oasis! Top accomodation
Excellent, Unique accomodation - with private and quiet cabins, which accommodates for larger groups to still split off from one another. Modern and cosy. Would stay here again & highly recommend to others. Communication with property manager was easy and timely. 10/10 accommodation!

I choose the property for the reason that it looked different and separate "buildings) Not the usual. It was great in many ways, however because of the hot weather it was quite hot. Trying not to get mosquitos you could not really open the windows when the lights are on.The kitchen building was good to air. There was also a nice outdoor undercover area with a big table , wooden bench and barbecue plus a drink fridge. The main building had zircon, just as well, because there are no windows. It also has a fire pit, where you could burn some wood and eat marschmallows.

Great spot for a catch up
We had a great time here catching up with a small group of girlfriends. The three seperate spaces give you plenty of privacy but also some great communal areas to sit together and catch up.

Overnight stay
We were only here for a night with a group of friends going to a wedding. It was a great space to accommodate a group and while we didn't have time to use any of the facilities it was well set up.

Great setup outside with bar and bbq. Great with separate areas. Queen beds not that comfortable.
Would recommend renting. Great setup, especially with teenagers cause they have their own area and you can see them from the deck. Was a bit hit at times, brought a fan. Main bed too soft and was uncomfortable.

great option for couples gathering
Great location and instructions were excellent for arrival. Loved that we had 3 separate rooms for the 3 couples and the shared outdoor kitchen and gathering place was perfect! Great way to experience tiny house living. Only small thing was no toilet paper in any of the three unit - had to go buy some for each - minor detail really !

Great location
Best during the warmer months when everyone can socialise together outside. Cleaning detail could be better and one bed was missing linen. Also would prefer pantry and freezer closer to empty to fit our food shop. Gavin was a friendly and helpful host.

Very cool, well-designed container bach
Fantastic accomodation - the containers were really cool and well-designed, there was air con to regulate the temperature, and having bedrooms in different containers allowed for a peaceful sleep. Gavin was very helpful and communicative, and the bach was located close to the beach. Only very minor issues were that the kitchen/oven wasn't super easy to work with, and that one of the outside bins hadn't been emptied and had a bunch of rubbish loose on the top of it, but otherwise the place was spotless, and worked really well. Very happy with our stay.

Great location, really pleasant and clean rooms. All the rooms were unique and beautiful. A different experience for sure with the glass house units. I loved it. We could cook and each room had a TV with entertainment. Would love to visit again.
