Cottage at the Coast

This classic kiwi cottage at the beach is the perfect spot to base yourself to escape and relax. There is a massive deck to relax on that has amazing views of Whale and White Island.
There is loads of space to set up tents for the kids or additional guests or to park a camper/caravan or boat.
It takes three and a half minutes to walk to feel the sand between your toes on the beach that is great for fishing and surfing.
The house can sleep 4. A super king bed in the bedroom and there is room to put a couple of mattresses on the floor in the lounge. Or, pitch some tents outside.
The Hub shopping center is a five minute drive, town is a ten minute maximum drive. There are a number of golf courses that are close by plus a boat ramp.
Additional fishing, diving, and hunting trips can be arranged with an addition cost.
There is a deck in the tree. DO NOT GO UP IN IT, please. There is no access to it as I do not want people up there. Please respect this.
Come and stay in my little spot of paradise.
Special conditions:
There is plemty of room to pitch a tent (tents can be provided at additional cost) or park a caravan for additional guests. $50 per person, per night.
Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$15.00 per person); Linen (Required, NZ$20.00 per stay);

As I let my house out, occasionionally I will stay in the shed (if I don't go away-which is often the case). I will not cramp your style or impeded on your stay. You wont know I'm there or need to worry about me.

What a spot!

Was a lovely little place in the perfect spot to relax. Close enough to town for what we needed, but far enough out that we could enjoy the beach and relax. Our little dog loved his run around too. Can't wait to be back again.

Perfect two day stop for a couple with dogs

We really appreciated the little details Paul has looked after to set this up so well. The location is great with a short walk to an empty sandy beach which goes for miles. So nice to wake up to views of whale and white islands

Cottage at the Coast

3rd time down for 5 days and loved every minute. Fabulous hosts and perfect set up for a weekend or short stay. Spectacular views from the large windows in the bedroom. Relax on the deck and enjoy uninterrupted stunning views. It’s clean, comfortable and safe. Three minute walk to the fabulous white sandy beach that our dog loved as much as we did. Highly recommend.

Fantastic stay

Thank you Paul for allowing us to stay. Also appreciated is how prompt your communication has been. A wonderful cottage to stay in and it was lovely to see the scenic view. As for your bed.. wow! I think with all the holiday home stays we have done, both here in NZ and overseas, your bed was the most comfortable thank you. And being able to bring our wee furball with us was the icing on the cake. Many thanks and cheers Irene and George

Amazing views

We initially booked to stay 6 nights and then changed it to 8 nights because the views from this place are outstanding! It is 2 min walk to the beach and a short drive to town. Paul, the landlord, is an awesome guy who would go out of his way to make our stay more enjoyable. Our dogs absolutely loved the big garden and the walks on the beach. We would go back to this place with no hesitation.

Great stay!

This property has an amazing location with close beach access and walks. The view from the deck was so pretty and even in winter we were out there during the day with a glass of wine. The property is fully fenced so dog friendly. The cottage was super tidy and well maintained. There was also well stocked kitchen which was great to walk into. Paul the owner stayed in his shed behind the cottage during our stay and was very respectful of our privacy. He is friendly and easy to deal with. We would highly reccomend this place for a visit.
