O Aconchegado e Isolado Wilson Road Magic Lodge

Visit South Head, Auckland's best kept secret.
Just over an hour west of Auckland, is the SOUTH HEAD sand duned-peninsula, bound by the Kaipara Harbour on the east and to the west is the Tasman sea's wild Rangitira ocean beach that stretches for miles. 2.5 kms from the beach is the eco-friendly barn accommodation, nestled between Tea Tree and the swimming ponds.
The lodge is a converted barn, now with more in the means of fine art than of shearing sheep.
It has a huge barn door that provides open living for sunny days and warmth on cooler times. The view with the door open is subtropical plants, ponds, a stream, alpacas and is ever changing.
The barn location provides a tranquil environment with the sounds of bird life as they visit the ponds.

All the power on the property is generated from the solar panels and a windmill.
The barn has a coal range for cooking and heating, a warm fire in the evening.
Traditional flush water toilet.
The generous sized bath uses pure rainwater.
Feed the alpacas carrots/nuts and the huge grass carp, bread and grass.
