Bush To Beach Cottage
Escape to a welcoming cottage where native bush meets ocean vistas. Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac on the hillside above Whitianga, this property offers a peaceful retreat with views of the bay. The safe setting provides ample space for children to play, alongside room to park your vehicles or boat.
Inside, wooden floors flow through a spacious kitchen and dining area. The heart of the home features a blue dining table with bench seating, creating a central spot for shared meals. Nearby, a cosy lounge invites relaxation with soft sofas and a modern television equipped for on-demand streaming. Large windows frame leafy outlooks and invite warm sunshine indoors.
The cottage comfortably accommodates up to six guests across three bedrooms. Sleeping arrangements include one king bed, two double beds, and a trundler bed tucked away for extra flexibility. A large bathroom serves the household, featuring a deep bathtub, separate shower, and a Japanese bidet toilet for modern comfort.

Complete with a barbecue, outdoor furniture, and relaxed bean bags, this entertainment space looks out over a grassy backyard bordered by established gardens and stone walls.
Stroll down the hill for ten minutes to reach the sands of Brofies Beach for a refreshing swim or a visit to the local coffee cart. A good exercise mission walking up the hill to return home.
