About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cosy Aotea Cottage with water views, a gentle stroll to the beach. Pet Friendly!

Relax in the comfort of a beach retreat and enjoy long walks on the beach. Watch the sun go down with a nice cold drink as you sit on the deck after a lovely day exploring the tranquility of Aotea Harbour. Your beloved pets will be safe and can relax within the fully fenced section. There's books to read and wifi to connect to so you can upload your pictures while you create memories for the future. Enjoy the use of a full kitchen and bathroom. There's also a laundry with an extra toilet too.
The main cottage includes a double bed, open plan kitchen and dining , access to both decks while the two single beds are in a sleepout.

Aotea Village is a warm and welcoming place where you can choose to socialise or just enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. There's coffee, food and several shops a ten minute drive away in Kawhia and a gorgeous little pottery and wood gallery in Aotea Village.

The fishing here is great, bring the boat or your surfcasting rods. Alternatively just bring yourselves and swimming gear. Swim in the harbour in summer and whether it's winter or summer relax at Te Puia Springs (hot water beach) at Kawhia.

The person looking after the cottage lives within the village and is available to answer any queries you may have and looks forward to welcoming you to Aotea Village, our little piece of paradise.

The perfect place to relax.
We really enjoyed our stay. Aotea is so peaceful and pretty. The bach had everything we needed and Susan had communicated where the nearest shops were so we came prepared with groceries. We were able to just chill out.
