Sunset Cottage right on the beach. Reviews
Great wee bach and a lovely location. We very much enjoyed our time here. Bach had everything we needed. Julian was a great host. Our kids enjoyed fishing and jumping off the wharf, kayaking, paddle boards (we brought our own) and walking the beach at low tide. We took our own boat and used the mooring with this bach. Great to only be a 15 min boat trip from Waikawa.
Fantastic waterside spot, great floating jetty, house had everything we needed.
Great host. Amazing location
