Hereweka Garden  Retreat
Boutique Luxury Self Contained Eco Accommodation
Otago Peninsula,  Dunedin, New Zealand

Luxury eco garden accommodation with spectacular views of
Dunedin’s Otago Peninsula

Hereweka Garden Retreat offers self contained architecturally eco designed
boutique accommodation to blend in with the stunning natural setting of garden,
bush and water and offers complete privacy.
It is airy and light and has  magnificent views from every window and from decks
on two levels. Located  in the renowned Hereweka Garden, the secluded retreat has
the only remaining valley of native forest on the Otago Peninsula,
and overlooks the  breath-taking vista of Hoopers Inlet.
Just 30 minutes drive from the central  city in Dunedin, it is situated on the slopes
of the iconic Harbour Cone, far  from the noise of traffic and close to
many attractions on the Otago  Peninsula.

Hereweka Garden Retreat provides luxury  accommodation for two to three people. Luxuriate in the super king bed, or two  singles, with top quality latex mattresses and luxury cotton sheets. Watch the sun rise over Hoopers Inlet from the comfort of your bed, then open the French  doors to the balcony off the bedroom and enjoy the dawn chorus. (We can provide an extra bed or cot on request.)

The well equipped kitchen downstairs offers magnificent views onto the inlet where you will be supplied
with breakfast ingredients including homemade organic bread, jam and  fresh eggs.
Avail yourself of the quality utensils and fixtures including an  espresso coffee machine, fridge and oven, which provide every facility for  cooking meals through the day. Selected recycled items such as the fine  porcelain dinner set, linen tea towels,
and bone handled knives, will add  class and quality to your experience.

Make the most of a showering  experience that is truly unique. The floor to ceiling sliding door opens from  the shower onto the deck, and bathes you in the beauty and freshness of the  morning as you wash. When you emerge from the high pressure shower, use the  luxury towels and robes. A hairdryer, heated towel rail, mirror demister, New  Zealand-based eco-friendly toiletries and soap are also provided.

There is a range of New Zealand wines, including organic wines to purchase. A hamper of good quality organic produce can be ordered when booking your accommodation. Alternatively there are several restaurants to choose from with an excellent local restaurant, café and delicatessens supplying a wide range of organic produce only 5 minutes away.

The choices are yours:

• Relax in the eco retreat and  enjoy your views out onto the stunning garden and forested hills beyond.
• Wander the paths of the four acre garden, and explore the bush walks and  tracks that surround it.
• Sit quietly and watch for native birds that abound in the bush; bellbirds, kereru, riflemen, kingfishers and tui.
• Take the five minute walk to Hoopers Inlet and check out the wide-ranging  species of wading birds that inhabit the estuary.
• Cycle or drive to the habitats of the unique  indigenous wildlife in the immediate vicinity. Penguins, hooker sea lions, seals and the northern royal albatross; you can catch them all in one outing.
