### Tairua Waterfront Retreat - Tairua Apartment

For a modern holiday apartment for the whole family, look no further than the three-bed, two-bath Tairua Waterfront Retreat; where the waters edge is waiting for you to come and play!  
  
Positioned in a prime location for views of the river and out toward Mt Paku, you’ll find no better place to while away the hours on your next getaway than here at Tairua Waterfront Retreat. The east-facing outdoor patio might just be the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, and why not fire up the BBQ for a cheeky bacon and egg sammy while you’re at it!  
  
Floor to ceiling sliding glass doors create that ever important indoor-outdoor flow, and the open-plan living-dining area is designed to be enjoyed. Featuring both heating and cooling amenities, you’ll have no trouble getting comfy on the couch with a book, using the WIFI to post your holiday snaps, or even catching up on your favourite shows on the Smart TV, complete with Chromecast and a DVD player.  
  
The kitchen is fully-equipped with everything you need to self-cater on your holiday, with top of the line stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. The garage features a full laundry and clothesline, and provides that extra bit of storage you always seem to need on holiday!  
  
The three bedrooms are located on the second storey of this Tairua holiday apartment and let us tell you, with its sun-drenched balcony, sea views, and huge ensuite, the master is to die for. Bedroom two and three feature a queen bed and two singles respectively, and both the ensuite and main bathroom boast heated towel rails and underfloor heating.  
  
With the waterfront right on your doorstep you may not want to do much more than take the provided kayaks and fishing gear and try to catch dinner. But, if it’s an adventure further afield you’re after, two minutes in the car will have you in the town centre where you’ll find plenty of trendy cafes, restaurants, and shops, and in just half an hour you can be at Hot Water Beach or Hahei - the gateway to spectacular Cathedral Cove.  
  
So, what are you waiting for? Tairua Waterfront Retreat is waiting for you!  
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
