About this house rental
Simon Carnachan is responsible for designing a number of New Zealand's landmark beach houses. Calianne is a grand fusion of Simon's creativity, construction expertise and a substantial budget. The voluminous roof draws on influences from the communal buildings of the Pacific Islands. A theme that extends to the flow through ventilation, multiple adjustable louvres of cedar and glass: Air-conditioning courtesy of sea breezes.
Fringed with a clipped hedge of Hibiscus and surrounded on 3 sides by flat lawns large enough to zip flick a Frisbee. Out front and centre: Doubtless Bay. The front garden ends with the sand of Coopers Beach. A stand of 6 mature Pohutukawa lean right out over the sand. They provide a degree of privacy and infinitely adjustable sunbathing shade.
The property is ideal for a multi-family holiday. Encompassing 335sqm the home features 2 master bedroom suites and 3 lounges in the core dwelling and accommodation for a further 12 people in the Southern wing. Upstairs, 2 fun bunk rooms, single beds for up to 8 guests, skylights that swing open to reveal the Milky Way. A central courtyard is completely private from the outside world and serves as the entertainment hub.
Appointments and chattels are of a quality that are befitting a home of this standard. Coffee machine, 2 large fridges, 2 dishwashers, monitored security system, unlimited speedy wi-fi, 2 TV lounges (no TV in the main lounge). Two new Viking Kayaks for guests' use were purchased in 2025. A single person Espri model and a 2 + 1 model suitable for 2 paddlers and a child. There are 2 beach trolleys, 3 adult and 1 child's buoyancy vests and 3 paddles provided.
There are a handful of properties of this calibre in Doubtless Bay. Only one is available for a few select groups of guests that seek a stay in a Kiwi Beach house designed by one of our most revered architects. A combination of design and location that delivers a perfect sub-tropical cocktail of casual cool class.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
Lovely place. Poor service. Lack of welcome. Lack of information, a tatty blue folder with info on light switches.Oven didn't go, however an electrician came, luckily, as we were having a caterer in. We feel that this should have been checked before our arrival.The biggie was the Fire didn't go,This was known by the owners in advance.The owner told us there was a problem with the sensors and it was not working.This was something that attracted us to this bach. The big communal area sitting around the fire in the evening. Same with the outside fire. They said someone would be out to look at it. No one came to look at it. We spent 6 nights with 15 people in the middle of winter in this very expensive bach and the owner knew that the fire was not working. Dish Drawer didn't go. Phone calls to the owner were to no avail. He did not know how to use it. No Info on recycling, no bins, no liners, we bought our own. Couldn't get coffee machine to go, Coffee plungers broken. No extra toilet paper.Bed side lights not working in one of the bedrooms. Lounge lights not all working. We paid A LOT of money for this bach for the 6 nights and there were a number of issues which did not meet our expectations considering the price we paid. Although we completely appreciate we were delayed into Coopers Beach on Thursday night and did not expect anyone to wait up for us, we did not see anyone over the 6 nights we stayed. This would have been helpful to show us how to work some of the facilities.

5.0 / 10.0·Sep 2020
This is a magnificent property - overlooking Coopers Beach but with complete privacy thanks to the stunning Pohutukawa trees. The house is stunning - the style and furnishings are very Bali-esque!The house was incredibly well kitted out and met all our needs. The space more than catered for our 2 families - we were well and truly spoiled! Can’t wait to come back! Thx so much
