About this property
Country Cottage Near the Sea
Our cosy farm cottage is in a tranquil country valley close to Muriwai Beach.This 100-year-old charmer has been fully renovated and features a new kitchen, bathroom, and laundry. You'll have your own entrance and fenced yard within our 11 acre farm. Wake up to birdsong and the roar of the ocean nearby. Our sheep graze the paddocks around you and in Spring they'll have lambs at foot. We have a strict 'no pets' policy due to having livestock. The beach is five minutes drive and beach-towels are provided. The area has stunning walking trails plus the gannet colony. You're still only 45 minutes drive from downtown Auckland city and all its attractions. This is a smoke-free and vape-free property.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
