Bush and Bay Cottage
Up a private right of way, set in native bush, this modernised cottage offers views of Waikawa Bay. Wake up to birdsong. Watch the tui flitting between the trees and maybe a weka crossing the lawn. Gaze at native bush and hills or watch the boats in the Bay. A wonderful place to chill out in the last of sun. Walking distance to bike tracks, the beach & marina/pub. The house isn’t perfect but is light, cosy, well equipped and spacious. Not ready to book? - add us to your wishlist: select ❤
