Nestled into a hill with farmland at the back & surrounded by mature trees, you’re really feel at one with nature. Please note that the cottage is close to our house. We have free range chickens, a cat, a dog and a 3 year old. You will see the animals and hear us in the yard but we are respectful and want to share our space. Waitati lagoon track & Drs Point beach a short trip away. Easy stroll to Blueskin Bay Nursery Cafe for an amazing brunch/lunch morning/arvo snack. Harvey St Merchant is a must stop for Pure NZ ice cream & Blueskin Bay Gallery for a glass of something & a pizza or check out Arc Brewery. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Kitchenette -
