About this property

Cute and quiet Ohawe cottage

Very private, newly refurbished, one bedroom cottage at friendly Ohawe Beach - a great place to unwind and relax. Five minute walk to the beach which is great for surfing, fishing, swimming, poking around in rock pools or just walking (it’s dog friendly too). Safe water hole for swimming in nearby Waingongoro River.
Ohawe is just a 7 minute drive from Hawera for shopping, eating out, cafes, museum, parks and gardens. Easy access to Mount Taranaki for walking and cycling tracks, Dawson Falls, Surf Highway 45 and just an hour away from New Plymouth.
This cottage has everything you need including a comfortable double bed, Smart TV, DVD player, BBQ, washing machine and new shower. Has a private garden, deck, plenty of parking space and located on a quiet road.
DOGS ALLOWED ON REQUEST (please advise what breed of dog/s and how many - there is a small $10 fee per night for dogs). The property has a fully fenced garden.
Please read the full description carefully, for instance; the fridge does not have a freezer compartment and there is no oven. UPDATE: We now have a desktop ice maker and an Air Fryer at the cottage.
MAXIMUM ONE MONTH STAY. Your booking may be cancelled if you book for longer than one calendar month.
NB: This property now has free WiFi but cellphone reception is patchy in Ohawe.

Hideaway, near picturesque beach.
The bed was too small, uncomfortable and too old. Everything else was good and modern.

Just what we needed
Wonderful three nights at this lovely cosy bach which has everything you need. Relaxing and quiet, only sounds were the river, the odd farm animal noise and birds singing! Fabulous for our two dogs, they had great fun playing in the garden, running on the nearby beach and swimming in the river. Bridget was a wonderful host and was very accommodating when we needed to change our dates.

Perfect getaway cottage
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Its on a secure section, a quiet location with private outdoor garden and the area has a nice community feel to it. The cottage was set up stylishly and comfortably with everything we could need, and kept spotlessly clean by the host. A great base to explore Taranaki, or just relax. Would love to come back again sometime. Thanks Bridget!

Lovely well-appointed bach for a quiet getaway
Can't fault this bach, very clean, everything we needed, and check-in process was seamless. The property is very well maintained, and if you want to escape the hustle and bustle in a very quiet little township I'd highly recommend.

Relaxing stay at Ohawe
My wife and I, and our pup, really enjoyed our stay at Ohawe Beach. We have been here before and looked forward toc coming back. A very relaxing and quiet spot to just sit around and do nothing. The Bach was very well equipped with everything we needed. Thanks!
