Keddle House, located above remote Anawhata Beach is a solar-powered bungalow with particular heritage value. It was built by Walter and Sally Parker in the 1930s and still retains many of its original features.

This two bedroom house offers spectacular views of the west coast beach from the sunroom.

There are walking tracks down to the beach and a number of other bush walks in the area.

Alerts

Check for open and closed tracks and help protect our kauri

We have closed large sections of the Waitākere Ranges to prevent the spread of kauri dieback.

When you visit our parks you need to clean your footwear and equipment to avoid transferring disease from one area to another.

Find open and closed tracks and read about protecting our kauri.

The 500m driveway down to the house is quite steep. Large trailers are not permitted due to the steep access road and a small parking and turning area at the bach site.
