About this property

Cottage - 2 minute drive to Orewa Beach with it's 3km of golden sands

Quaint home with full kitchen and laundry. Comfortable living area, with Lazyboy furniture, that leads out onto a covered deck (great for drying clothes). Enjoy the outdoor furniture and relax while overlooking the peaceful bush. King size bed with quality linen, free WiFi internet, heatpump, fireplace, hairdryer and iron. Complimentary tea, coffee and milk. Undercover parking. A place of peace!
The property is close to the vibrant town and on the edge of Alice Eaves Scenic Reserve, with walking tracks under a canopy of native bush.
The area is well known for its stunning beaches and popular for the many cafes along the waterfront.
Wenderholm Regional Park is only 5km away with a historic homestead worth visiting, beaches, bbqs, and an easy walking trail with picturesque views.

We loved this peaceful place, a short drive to the shops. It was clean and tidy with all we needed in the kitchen. I liked using the water filter and reading some of the many books. Sharon is a great host, friendly and replies promptly. Thanks for our stay!

Amazing kitchen facilities, with everything you need to cook and drink. Teas and coffee selections with so many choices. Lovely unit with generous bedroom, pillows and space for your suitcase, clothes etc. Good bathroom though I did find the shower floor a bit slippery when wet. Check in process a breeze and lots of information to hand regarding what to do in and around Orewa. Lovely decor and felt very homely and welcoming.

Perfect spot. Kitchen was more than fully supplied and plenty of good linen and comfortable bed. Washing machine provided. Lovely and close to beach and short drive to cafes and shops. Would certainly stay again. Very pleasant host and very quick with communication. Notes throughout the house explaining how to use the equipment eg. coffee machine etc. The house was immaculately clean. Very quiet spot.
