Welcome to Bush Sand and Sea at Te Henga (Bethells Beach), West Auckland. Built with your rest and relaxation in mind!
For 30 years, we have enjoyed living here, developing our property, and recently decided it would be nice to share it with others across New Zealand and from around the world.
In 2008, we built a one bedroom, self contained and elegant cottage which is nestled in New Zealand’s native bush of the Waitakere Ranges on Auckland’s Wild West Coast.
NEW!! See us from the air in Photo Gallery. Zoom in for a ' bird's eye view' of the B&B on the right. We are on call to spoil you, yet far enough away to ensure complete privacy in a pristine setting.
"We invite you to stop, take time out for a while and step into our world."
- Alan and Lyn Happy

Thinking Green
Take a look at the many ways Alan and Lyn have minimised Bush Sand and Sea's impact on the native habitat - including recycled timber, a worm farm, cutting edge organic waste water recycling and decks molded around the trees.
A focus on sustainability
