About this property

Cottage on Rutherford – Waikanae Holiday Home

Discover Waikanae Beach and enjoy an impressive outlook of the Tararua Range and beyond from the comfort of this delightful holiday cottage, the perfect place to call home for your next escape with your loved one. Welcome to Cottage on Rutherford!

Step through the door to be welcomed into a charming and cosy living space with an open-plan living, kitchen and dining area. On a mid-winter stay, you’ll be sure to stay at the ideal temperature thanks to the electric heating available.

Easily slip into holiday mode with a cool beverage or freshly brewed cuppa while you relax on the couch, where you can flick on the Smart TV with Freeview, stay connected on the complimentary WiFi or dive into a good book. Now you’re on holiday!

Take your living outdoors where you can enjoy the gorgeous, verdant landscape from the comfort of the sheltered patio, no matter the season.

The bedroom here at Cottage on Rutherford offers a relaxing space to unwind at the end of the day, with a plush, queen-sized bed guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. A generous bathroom completes the set-up for your stay.

For a tranquil and memorable stay, Cottage on Rutherford awaits!
There is another dwelling on site that will be occupied during your stay.As there is a section of the deck without a barrier with a small drop on to the ground, all guests should take care when using this area due to the risk of falls.Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

Cottage on the wetlands

Overall the cottage was lovely , we had a nice stay and it was very comfortable - the view onto the wetlands is very nice (lots of mozzies though) , bed seemed soft but was actually comfy. Could use some more bedside and main lamps - and more cups. Neighbour’s visitors parked in our spot one night then seemed ok !! Lots to do in area and great beaches !!
