Property information

Perched high on the Tata Headlands within a private environmental trust, The Gate House is a simple yet soulful base for your Golden Bay adventures. Surrounded by regenerating bush alive with birdsong, it offers a sense of seclusion and sweeping views across Wainui Bay. Inside, the home combines natural materials with thoughtful comfort. Concrete floors and ply walls create a clean, understated backdrop that reflects the surrounding landscape, while the new soft furnishings add a layer of warmth and texture. A freestanding fireplace invites you to unwind after a day exploring, filling the space with a cozy, homely glow. The kitchen is well equipped with the basics to make relaxed, home-style meals, and the open-plan living area encourages slow, simple living, the kind that Golden Bay does best. The home offers three bedrooms: two snug rooms downstairs and a spacious open-plan loft upstairs, where skylights can be opened for fresh air or left wide at night for stargazing. Together, they offer a restful retreat designed for easy comfort. From The Gate House, you’re perfectly placed to discover the natural beauty of the area; from Tata Beach and Abel Tasman National Park to the township of Takaka and a network of scenic trails all within easy reach.

Neighbourhood information

The Gatehouse offers peace, privacy, and sweeping views across Wainui Bay. It’s tucked well away from the bustle of Tata Beach, with no close neighbours — just birdsong, bush, and open skies. You’re only a few minutes from the golden sands of Tata Beach and right on the doorstep of the Abel Tasman National Park, with the Wainui Track and Totaranui entrance nearby. It’s the perfect spot to unwind, connect with nature, and explore one of New Zealand’s most spectacular coastal regions.
