Surrounded by two acres of Pohutukawa and Nikau forest with streams and walking tracks, the Cottages are a special place, nestled between the forest and the water’s edge. At full tide the water is lapping only metres from the deck and you can watch the sun setting over the harbour.
There are three cottages and a boathouse on the property, all three cottages have been fully renovated and are available for rent – Sunshine Cottage, Moose Cottage and Roadman's Cottage.
Sunshine Cottage has one bedroom with a Queen size bed, bench seating that doubles as beds for kids in the dining room, a full kitchen, bathroom with washing machine, woodburner, outdoor bath and a large deck overlooking the water. A perfect spot for watching the sunset over the water and star gazing at night.
Moose Cottage is a studio Cottage with a kitchenette, ensuite, wood burner and outdoor bath. This cottage is located on the water's edge and is completely private from Sunshine and Roadman's Cottages.
Roadman's Cottage is an original roadworker cottage, built in the 1920's. The cottage has been lovingly restored, retaining its original charm and features whilst adding some modern facilities. It has a Queen bed, a kitchenette, a wood fire, an indoor bathroom with shower and a private outdoor seating area overlooking the water.
This picturesque holiday location is perfect for couples or small families, sleeping 6 adults and 2-3 children if utilising all 3 cottages. The cottages are vibrant, cosy, and filled with island history. The sheltered tidal bay is ideal for using the kayaks and paddle boards provided, and safe for children to explore.
The Cottages are located within walking distance from the Shoal Bay Wharf, where the car ferry arrives on the island. A concrete driveway provides for easy access to the property by car.
