secluded beach just 50meters from Endeavour Cottage

Lovely cottage next to the beach

Endeavour Cottage is a lovely little stand alone cottage that is very close to the beach. It rained the whole time we were there (record rains in Auckland and Coromandel, with many closed roads) so we ended up spending more time at the cottage than planned. It was very comfortable and we could easily walk over to the beach during the few dry periods. Joanne was a lovely host, communicating with us before our stay with several updates on the road situation. The outdoor garden and dining area (shared with the BnB room in the main house) would have been a quiet place to sit or dine if the weather had permitted. Overall a very relaxing stay. Thank you
