    Huia

    Huia is a western coastal settlement in West Auckland, New Zealand and forms part of the Waitākere Ranges Regional Park. The majority of houses in Huia are located along Huia Road, which arcs around Huia Bay and heads west towards Little Huia.

    Construction on the Upper Huia Dam began in 1924, leading to wider development in the area as houses were constructed for workers' families. Material for the dam was brought by barge to Huia, and then by tramway to the dam site. The dam was completed in 1929, leading to an exodus of families who worked on the dam leaving the area. The tramway remained operational until the 1960s. After the construction of the dam, the area became popular with holidaymakers and retirees. As the Huia valley began to reforest, this fuelled a movement to develop the ranges as a regional park. The Centennial Memorial Park, a portion of which would later become the modern Waitākere Ranges, opened in 1940.

    By the 1960s, a community of artists and poets had developed at Huia. In 1971, the Lower Huia Dam was constructed adjacent to the township.

    Welcome to Taumata! Nestled amongst the kauri on Auckland’s wild west coast, this classic Kiwi bach is a slice of the Kiwi dream, where generations of family have gathered for over 70 years. Now, for the first time since it was built it is available for a new family to gather and make memories.

    The location can not be beaten. Situated on 812sqm (more or less), with the sparkling Manukau at the bottom of the hill, and native trees surrounding the section, you have a view for every mood. Halfway between Cornwallis and Whatipu beaches, and minutes from the Little Huia boat ramp, popular fishing spots and bushwalks, your outdoor adventures are calling.

    Back at the bach, vaulted ceilings and a wood burning stove enhance a light-filled living room which opens out onto the deck, inviting a quiet cup of tea with the tui. An open plan kitchen and dining area provides a comfortable space for family meals. 2 bedrooms complete the upper level, including a light and airy master bedroom and a second bedroom with built in bunk beds to maximise the space.

    Downstairs is the bathroom and laundry room with separate shower and toilet ensuring convenience. Parking is available in the carport, with internal access through the laundry.

    Providing convenient extra space is a bonus storage room under the house.

    Update to your taste for summer getaways or upgrade to a year-round retreat. This Little Huia haven is waiting for you.

    Viewings by appointment only.
