Surf Shack Retreat – Walk to Beach • Unplug & Recharge Welcome to Surf Shack on Broadway, a cosy and character-filled housetruck stay in the coastal town of Waitara, just a short 7-minute walk from the beach. Perfect for surfers, ocean lovers, and those craving a slower pace, this is a relaxed Kiwi escape with a creative, down-to-earth feel. Whether you're here to chase waves, explore the coastline, or simply unwind, Surf Shack offers a stay that’s simple, soulful, and a little bit special. The little deck is ideal for morning coffees, post-surf lounging, or winding down in the evening. Surf Shack is a simple, off-grid style stay, designed for guests who appreciate a more natural and unplugged experience. Please take note of the bathroom set up before booking. There is a warm open-air gas shower and a clean, private eco-friendly composting toilet. Everything is thoughtfully maintained and kept fresh for your comfort. These are both located within the entrance to the Surf Shack with curtains for privacy. This set up suits guests who appreciate simple, practical facilities and the relaxed feel of an off grid cabin escape. This is not a standard motel stay. It’s a slightly adventurous experience for those who value nature, simplicity, and something a little different.
