About this property

Stand alone cottage. Easy 10 minute walk to beach

Bigger than it looks.....A warm, private, fully renovated cottage with large deck and landscaped surrounds. Plenty of room for parking your boat.
Breakfast on the sunny deck overlooking an expanse of olive trees, or relax in the shade under the mature pine trees in your own little arbor.
Plenty of outdoor seating for your BBQ or entertaining friends in the long summer evenings.
Your children are welcome to visit our chooks and feeding and collecting the eggs. Depending on the olive picking season, usually April/ May, guests in our cottage can join in the olive picking.
Let the sound of the waves on nearby Karikari Beach and Tokerau Beach sing you to sleep.
Fish, snorkel, dive or surf nearby Matai Bay. 90 mile beach only 30 mins away.
A very easy day trip to Cape Reinga taking in Houhora Heads, The Gumdiggers Museum.
Gate sales of EV Olive Oil.
Please note that we do not offer WIFI. Instead it is a relaxing retreat away from your devices to enjoy all the beauty that the far north offers. So sit back relax and rewind!

Perfect Far North Base
We loved this great little cottage as our base over 3 nights as we explored the far North. Sue was so welcoming and the olive tree farm was a lovely setting. Kids loved the ducks and chickens!!

Tokerau Bay
We had a lovely stay at this bach. The host was accommodating of all my requests. The house was warm and sunny with a lovely view of olive trees. My children loved visiting the chickens on the far side of the property and Tokerau beach was only a short walk away.

Super Spot
Felt so at home with amazing hosts Sue & Ray in this cozy, well-located and perfectly set-up cottage. Able to cut through to Tokerau Beach for a walk and a swim. Super easy access to many local hotspots. Kids loved the outdoor space. Can’t wait to get back!!

We had a fabulous time. The bach was clean, modern and had everything we needed. The location was superb - stunning beaches short distances in all directions. The hosts were very thoughtful, kind and informative. We felt welcomed like family. All in all we had a very relaxing, re-energising holiday. Great value for money.

Lovely little cottage in peaceful surroundings with friendly hosts.
The cottage was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. We enjoyed driving to visit the various beaches near Mangonui during our 7 day stay. It was a great location from which to drive to Cape Reinga.

Quiet retreat in Olive Groves
We had a lovely 2 night stay at the Cottage. Sue gave us a warm welcome and recommendations of places to eat and visit nearby. The Cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. It has good facilities for a short stay. The location was great up for our day trips out up and down the Karikari Peninsula. The map on HomeAway was not showing the correct location when we initially made the booking since it showed it as being much more inland, but is in fact is very close to the coast and just a short drive or walk to the sea.

Serene self-catered cottage
The cottage is tastefully furnished and located in a serene Olive farm. Even the night sky was beautiful to gaze. Highly recommend this cottage. :)

clean and tidy and great host
Sue was very accommodating. She had the cottage sparkling clean and her property is lovely. We had plenty of privacy and came and went as we pleased. The beds were comfortable however, my back is not good and the queen bed had a bit of a dip in the mattress on each side so I had to sleep in the middle. Otherwise very nice stay and the bed probably not an issue for most people.

Beautiful relaxing spot with gracious hosts and easy access to numerous stunning beaches.
The cottage was very clean and tidy, had everything we needed and comfortably fit our family of four. The private, sunny deck was perfect for breakfasting in the sun and alfresco dining. Tokerau beach is in easy walking distance. A number of other stunning beaches are within 10min driving distance. Sue and Ray were very welcoming and gracious hosts. Highly recommend staying here if you are exploring the far north!
