Three cosy bedrooms and a neat bathroom with a shower over bath make up for a relaxing stay.

Take a stroll through the dunes at low tide to discover a secluded white sand beach that feels like your own private escape— truly a scene straight from a postcard. You can also walk or cycle all the way to Waipu Cove beach on a new purpose-built track next to the road which can be accessed from the driveway entrance.

All guests are advised to be careful on the deck with a 1m drop without an adequate barrier to prevent falls.Although the property is pet-friendly, pets are not permitted on furniture and beds.
