About this property

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 (all dogs are welcome even large ones over 25kgs, I don’t know how to change the original setting) will be safe and can relax within the fully fenced section. There's books to read and games to play 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 there’s a double bed and set of bunks 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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Host profile image
having grown up in Hamilton, I was thrilled to move full time to Aotea Harbour. There's a tranquility and mystical beauty here. I love welcoming people to a place that feeds my soul.

Why they chose this property

When I first came for a holiday here at Aotea, I simply fell in love with the place and decided that one day I would have a holiday place here. That was a few years ago now and I'm living in the village full time and loving it. My little holiday place is now ready to welcome the next people to have adventures here.

What makes this property unique

It's a true kiwi bach with retro lino; it feels just like a beach bach used to feel.
It's a great place to relax, wind down and leave the stresses of everyday life behind. Aotea Harbour will likely weave it's magic around you too.
