About this property

MAGIC COTTAGE - romantic riverside retreat, BAY OF ISLANDS

*ROMANTIC RETREAT!*

VOTED ONE OF THE TOP 10 LUXURY LODGES in NZ, Magic Cottage is a beautiful and secluded riverside retreat offering romantic self-catering accommodation amid 5 acres of sub-tropical gardens. Perched on the banks of the Takou River, just upstream from Takou Bay, Magic Cottage is the ultimate romantic retreat. “…a place of absolute, blessed escape…” NZ Herald on Sunday.

PERFECT HONEYMOON DESTINATION! Hidden from view this studio cottage features a romantic outdoor claw foot bath on the deck overlooking the river; stunning views across the water; an absolute waterfront location; complete seclusion; a super king bed and luxurious bed linen; fresh flowers, magazines and books; kayaks, canoes and fishing; private boathouse and jetty, secluded swimming spots, glow worms and 150 acres of pristine native bush, pasture and river front to explore.

ABSOLUTE WATERFRONT! Peace, seclusion and tranquility abound - a beautiful private river frontage; 150 acres of organic farmland with marked walks along the river bank, through native bush and pastures to secluded swimming and picnic spots; magical glow worms; 5 acres of beautiful sub-tropical gardens to wander and explore; our private jetty and boat house with free kayaks, canoes and fishing rods; and last but not least, access to the beautiful deserted sandy beaches at Takou Bay a short paddle or drive downstream.

IDEAL LOCATION! Magic Cottage is centrally located to explore the wider Bay of Islands and Far North, yet hidden away from the hustle and bustle amid 150 acres of organic pasture, native bush and river frontage. Enjoy the flourishing birdlife; wander enchanted gardens and riverside walks; paddle to Takou Bay; relax, refresh and romance in the claw foot bath – or bask in the bliss of doing absolutely nothing.
