Drop Anchor - Beachfront Cottage - at Enclosure Bay - Beachfront Bach - 4 Bedroom Kiwi Character Home

This 4 bedroom character filled holiday cottage, has gone through a complete make over where the inside was gutted and replaced with modern facilities and furnishings, but we have definitely kept the old world Retro style giving it a delightful charm and feel to it.

This is a classic property, which perfectly represents the type of Bach the grand parents used to have, where as kids we loved the situation of being able to spend all day on the beach and run home without having to worry about sand on our feet or being told off by the oldies for making a mess.

Drop Anchor is one of very few properties remaining in that original state, a real classical gem and now also very comfortably appointed.

It has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The bed configuration has the Master bedroom with a California (split-able) King bed in a large room which opens onto the wrap around covered deck, with the view across the Bay. The second bedroom has a split king bed. and the third bedroom has a King single bed.

At the back door is the sleep out, which has a double and single in one room and a small second room which is baby size, but will comfortably fit a Porta Cot. It has a further bathroom and shower.

The kitchen is completely remodeled with gas oven and hob, dishwasher, micro wave and fridge freezer, along with being well equipped with most everything you may need to whip up the great meal. We have kept the cupboards as they were, although repainted, they are still the same colour.

The living /dining room are open plan, with a large hand made table and benches, and the lounge has all new furniture. A 40 TV is on the wall equipped with Sky channels, along with a stereo which has a USB connection for smart phones, and of course free Wifi.

Drop Anchor is truly delightful, which will suit guests looking for that special and memorable holiday experience, they just dont make houses like this anymore.

The wrap around deck has BBQ and outdoor furniture. A big flat lawn runs off the front, and there is a further lawn to the rear, this has a purpose built area for a tent.

There are also board games and books galore, along with free use of the kayaks under the house.
