Escape to Whakatā Place - A Chic, Private Retreat in the Heart of Tasman
Wake up to the gentle sounds of nature and step into a world of comfort, privacy, and style at Whakatā Place. Tucked away down a long driveway, our spacious 33m² sleepout is a secluded haven - separate from the main house, yet perfectly positioned for exploring the stunning Tasman region. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a mix of both, this boutique retreat is your ideal home away from home.
A Stay Designed for Comfort & Tranquillity
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by a stylish, thoughtfully designed space that blends modern ease with a rustic-chic touch. Large sliding doors flood the lounge with natural light, while blackout curtains ensure restful sleep. The lush planted trellises and a fully fenced private area create a peaceful sanctuary, perfect for couples, solo travellers, or business guests.
Inside, a spacious bedroom invites you to unwind, while the cozy lounge area offers a spot to relax with a book or enjoy a quiet evening. The well-appointed kitchenette is equipped with everything you need for a convenient stay, whether you're preparing a simple breakfast before heading out or winding down with a glass of wine. And then there's the "ballroom" of a bathroom - luxuriously spacious, adding a touch of indulgence to your stay.
Need extra space? A single trundler bed and porta cot are available upon request for a small fee, making it just as ideal for small families.
