🐴 A Little About Us
We’re a busy equestrian family, usually off most weekends (Nov → Easter) for comps. Because of that, we can’t manage same-day changeovers while we’re gone, so weekend bookings have a 2-night minimum (Friday to Sunday). If you absolutely can’t stay two nights but still need a weekend booking, send us a message and we’ll do our best to make it work.
🏠 The Space
A 3-bedroom coasty cottage that’s comfy, clean and gives “crash here, do nothing” energy. It’s cool in summer, relaxed, and has everything you need for a proper break. Perfect for working out of town, tangi downtime or just disappearing from real life for a bit.
🛋️ Lounge
Big couch, two La-Z-Boys, smart TV, free Netflix, fireplace and air con.
Cool when it’s hot, warm when it’s not.
🍳 Kitchen
Fridge/freezer, 5-burner gas hob and electric oven, microwave, toaster, kettle, air fryer, rice cooker, slow cooker, electric frypan, Nutribullet, egg beater and all the basics — pots, pans, trays, platters.
Cook a mean feed or bake your feelings. Your call.
🍽️ Dining
Table and 4 chairs — good for dinner, cards or yarns.
🛁 Bathroom / Laundry
The shower’s in the laundry (or maybe the laundry’s in the shower 🤷♀️).
Water pressure is strong enough to waterblast off the weight of the world.
Toilet, vanity, mirror, body wash, shampoo and conditioner included.
Washing machine, dryer and outdoor clothesline for that sun-dried freshness.
🛏️ Bedrooms
Room 1: Two king singles + king single trundler bed, wardrobe.
Room 2: Queen bed, desk and chair, wardrobe, dresser.
Room 3: Double bed, dresser, wardrobe. Compact but comfy.
Cabin: Currently has a double bed, king single, dresser.
All linen, towels and basics provided.
Warm blankets stay on the beds just in case the nights get cool.
🔧 Cabin Coming Soon
Brand new cabin available from mid-November.
Main house sleeps 7 and the cabin adds 3 more, so up to 10 guests total — perfect for bigger groups or whānau stays.

About the host
Hosted by Larissa
Kia ora! My family and I live on a rural lifestyle block on the East Coast, making the most of life with our three kids, plenty of cats and dogs, and a love for the outdoors.
Why they chose this property
We’re coasties! Born and bred in Tolaga Bay, where the ocean meets the land, and life is as real as it gets. This isn’t just a place we live; it’s a way of life. Out here on the East Coast, things move a little slower, the air is fresher, and the people are as genuine as they come.
It’s a safe, family-friendly place, where kids grow up barefoot, riding bikes until the streetlights come on, and everyone knows your name. Sunrises over the bay are worth waking up for, and the night skies are untouched by city lights, offering a view of the stars you won’t find anywhere else.
This place has heart, history, and the kind of beauty you don’t just see—you feel. If you’re looking for a break from the noise of the world, this is it. Welcome to Tolaga Bay.

What makes this property unique
This is where the hustle pauses and the phone scrolling hits different. Whether you’re burnt out, heartbroken, here for work or a much-needed break — our cosy 3-bedroom cottage is your reset button.
This is the place where pants are optional, the WiFi is free, and the fireplace makes you sweaty...not your anxiety. Add a heat pump, free Netflix, high-pressure shower, and a full kitchen for sad girl soup or Sunday feeds — and you’ve got THE vibe.
It's lowkey chill for workers, tangi-goers, and anyone needing to just be...without judgement.
You’ll leave feeling lighter — or at least very well-rested.
