Beach Road Cottage

A perfect spot with great views. Cottage is charming, clean and well appointed. The very poor shower flow was our only disappointment.

Absolutely superb

Some lucky team members got to stay in this tiny bit of paradise when up north on business. They raved about the location and the set up. So good I will be booking some time there myself when I am allowed across the border. Olivia and Dan were super hosts. Communication was excellent.

Lovely comfortable place to stay.

Stayed over for 2 nights here, while attending a large family and community event re my brother who died in April. We were very comfortable here, and the cottage is very attractive, obviously historic. It was super-well equipped with everything you'd need. Easy access from the road, close to the Kohukohu village, and a clear view across the harbour in front. Thankyou for having us, we'd come again if the need or opportunity arose.

Quiet Kohukohu

Quiet stay in old but quaint cottage. Enjoyed the hospitality of local shop/bar/cafe staff. So helpful and proud of what NZ has to offer. But, one never leaves enough time to fully enjoy the area!! Our loss.

Beach cottage (also called Orowaru cottage) is a gem. We had a great week there. I can particularly recommend sitting on the front verandah watching the tide roll in and out. Deeply peaceful. And well appointed for your every need. We used the cottage as a base to explore the Hokianga and Whangape Harbours. So many marae, so many early churches, friendly locals wherever we went. I came home with a lovely handmade rug from the Kohukohu Village Arts. The little Kohukohu library is another gem.
