Red Beach Retreat - Whangaparaoa Peninsula

Nestled in a peaceful neighbourhood at the base of the Whangaparāoa Peninsula, this self-contained apartment offers the perfect getaway just 30 minutes from central Auckland. Step outside to your own fully fenced oasis, complete with spa pool and BBQ – ideal for slow mornings or relaxed evenings.

Stroll across the quiet street to the beach via the walkway for a morning swim or paddle. Two kayaks and life jackets are available for guest use, adding a dash of adventure to your stay. Walk along the beach for Sunday breakfast at the Red Beach Surf Club, or join a yoga class at the club, then return to your retreat to soak in the spa pool. With plush robes and disposable slippers provided, every detail is designed for slow mornings and relaxed evenings.

Enjoy a well-equipped kitchenette with air fryer, plug-in cooktop and coffee machine, plus there's complimentary Wi-Fi, and a Smart TV for streaming your favourite shows. The inviting bedroom can be configured as a super king or two singles to suit couples, friends travelling together, or even a special mother–daughter getaway.

This coastal haven sits between the Whangaparāoa Peninsula and popular beaches, including Orewa, Red Beach, and Stanmore Bay, with the stunning Shakespear Regional Park just at the end of the peninsula. Nearby you’ll find the Orewa Boulevard with eateries, cafés and the Estuary Arts Centre, plus the Stanmore Bay Leisure Centre with pool, gym and sauna.

Whether you’re here to unwind in the sun, take morning dips, or explore the coast by kayak, Red Beach Retreat offers the perfect balance of privacy, comfort, and convenience.

The super-king bed can be split to make two single beds. Please inform us at time of booking if you require the two single beds.
