Bronte Tides Cottage. Stunning bay view - A restful, cosy 2 bedroom cottage

Panoramic sea to mountain and Inlet view with stunning water reflections. Amazing sunsets.
A welcoming, restful sunny coastal cottage and garden nestled on the shores of the beautiful Waimea Estuary Bronte Peninsula.

Wake to happy birdsong and the ebb and flow of the changing tides.
A magical place to unwind and revive the soul
A very clean and spacious cottage in a prime but quiet location.
Two comfortable Queen size beds. 2 living rooms, Smart T.V. etc.

Excellent Wifi / Mobile coverage.
A cozy wood-burner fire for the cooler months.
Easy access and parking.

Many of our guests recommend at least three nights to enjoy the location.

The cottage is on an elevated site on a tidal estuary. At high tide, you can swim, explore the Inlet by kayak or just sit back and relax down at the waters edge and enjoy the sunrise or sunset.

Located 6 minutes from Mapua Village where you will find excellent local Cafe's, Restaurants, brewery, wine bar, supermarket and specialty shops and an abundance of art.

''We fell in love with the cottage before we even stepped inside. Once inside we fell even more in love. The cottage was beautifully appointed with everything you need for a short or longer stay. The backdrop was incredible with views across the bay. Location was fantastic.''

Looking forward to coming back.''

The cottage is wonderfully located and tranquil with a lovely in and out flow. Everything you need for a relaxed holiday including kayaks for the water. Very nice welcome basket as well as a good vegetable plot to use. Highly recommend staying at the cottage.
