About this house rental
Perched high on the Tata Headlands within a private environmental trust, The Gatehouse 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 Gatehouse, 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.

It’s the perfect spot to unwind, connect with nature, and explore one of New Zealand’s most spectacular coastal regions.
