About this property

LIGHTHOUSE


From the moment you step inside this fully furnished beach house, throw open the doors and let the magnificent vista flow in, you'll know you've found your very own piece of New Zealand coastal paradise. The beach is but a few steps away, sheltered and fringed with magnificent Pohutukawa trees. Laze,swim,sunbathe. At night you will be lulled to sleep by the gentle lapping of the waves as they caress the shoreline.
This 3 bedroom beautifully appointed holiday home has all the luxury you want yet has the most relaxed atmosphere inside. Each downstairs bedroom has its own bathroom and the upstairs bedroom has a toilet and wash basin. There are spectacular views from all rooms.
A chefs dream kitchen when you can prepare meals and still be part of the action and of course watch the waves crash outside.
A double internal garage provides plenty of parking for cars and boat parking is available on the offstreet parking pad.
You will really find it hard to tear yourselves away after a holiday at LIGHTHOUSE

Perfect Winter Break
Stunning property with private access to the glorious Cooper's Beach. We spent the entire week walking the beach, exploring the rock pools, and taking in the amazing views during the day and relaxing in front of the fire with a good movie in the evening. All the bedrooms are super comfortable and the whole vibe helps you unwind, relax and recharge. Richard is the perfect host and could not have done more to help us have the best week. We will be back for sure and have already recommended the property to several friends.

Magical location
Our family of two adults and two teens had a wonderful stay at Coopers Retreat - the location on the beachfront, with incredible views and the sound of waves breaking on the beach, was awesome. And the property had everything and more than what we’d hoped for. Wished we could have stayed longer. Many thanks.

A stunning retreat right on the beach
Our short stay at Coopers Retreat was magical with the ocean a few short steps from the property and the sounds of the sea helping you drift off to sleep after fun filled days. Coopers beach is wonderful as are the secret Fiji like beaches nearby with fine white sands and kilometers of beach all to yourself. We enjoyed world class kitesurfing nearby while the kids played on the beach and took them to the famous Mangonui Fish n Chip shop (more than once). A great break. We’ll be back.

What an absolutely fabulous property this is!
What an absolutely fabulous property this is! Just a short stroll down to the beach with fantastic views from almost all of the rooms in the house. The house is lovely and spacious, has a great indoor/outdoor flow for entertaining but also lots of areas to curl up and read a book in the sun. If you get chilly or just feel like a little romance, evenings in front of the fire are also an option. This property has all the comforts of home and more, just turn up and enjoy!

Coopers Retreat was the perfect holiday location. Going to sleep at night with the sound of the waves just can't be beaten. The house was beautifully appointed with everything we could possibly need, and more. It certainly was a 'retreat' from the world and a place where magical memories are made. Return visits are already being planned.
