Welcome to Surf Shack on Broadway, a cosy and character-filled housetruck guesthouse in the coastal town of Waitara. With a relaxed Kiwi vibe and just a 7 minute walk from the beach. Perfect for surfers, ocean-lovers, and anyone wanting a quirky, memorable stay. The spacious deck is ideal for sunrise coffees, evening chill-outs, or drying off after your surf session. Bathroom Setup (Read Before Booking)! To keep everything transparent and stress-free for guests: The guesthouse currently has a clean, private portaloo for your use. Showering is shared with the main house until a portable gas shower is installed (coming soon). Guests are welcome to use it at any reasonable time. Everything is kept tidy, fresh, and well-maintained for your comfort. This setup suits guests who appreciate simple, practical facilities and the relaxed feel of a beachside cabin escape. A unique stay that’s a bit more adventurous than your standard motel — in the best way.
