Couches to relax in and chairs on the veranda to take in the view & enjoy a cuppa or glass of wine. Nikau Palms & native bush surround the cottage which is set back from the road so it nice & quiet.

Stanmore Bay beach is a long beach so if you are wanting to get yours steps up walk the length of it to do 5000 steps.

Adorable cottage in a great location

We really enjoyed our stay in Rosie’s cottage. The cottage is very comfortable and very pleasant. It was nice to have a short walk on the nearby beach each morning. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. I would highly recommend staying here.

Cosy place to stay

Nice little cottage with charme, lovely decorated and well equipped. It had everything we needed. Short walk to a nice quiet beach, but way back is steep. We felt at home and loved the little treats like fresh flowers.

Lovely little character cottage

We stayed here for 3 nights around a family gathering. Would have loved to have spent more time at the cottage itself as it was a comfortable and pleasing space. The place was very clean and the bed comfortable. Recommended.

Lovely place to stay

Had a superb time - Rosies was all we could ask for. Lovely welcome gifts and nothing was too much trouble for Gay. The covered part of the verandah was ideal for early morning yoga. Superb views. Will definitely stay again when visiting family. Cannot recommend highly enough

Delightful

A very peaceful place, with all the mod cons we needed, while keeping its comfortable bach character with a shabby chic feel. Great location, an easy walk to the excellent swimming beach (with a steep climb back for a cardio workout!) and short drive to local shops and cafes.

Lovely little bach

A lovely place to stay and visit family in the area. The cottage has been restored beautifully in a way which respects its history. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed the view from the balcony, and the surrounding garden space with ever present birds. Thanks Gay.

Wonderful

My wife and I stayed at Rosie's cottage for the last week of our five weeks in New Zealand. What a perfect finale to a lovely trip! The cottage was great for the two of us. Cozy, fun and well-equipped. Stanmore Beach is great and only a short walk away. But it was mostly the hospitality which Gay and Jon provided us which made our stay so special. For us it was like visiting old friends we had just met. If we get back to New Zealand we will make every effort to return to Rosie's Cottage.

Rosie's is every bit as cute and charming as the photos suggest. I loved it so much I ended up extending my stay!The cottage was clean and filled with lots of lovely touches. The setting is beautiful and relaxing - it's surrounded by trees and garden, with views out to Stanmore Bay. Although it sits on the same site as the owners' house, it's very private. The only word of warning I have about the location is that people with mobility issues could find the little walkway to the cottage challenging; it's fine for most people, but some would struggle with it.Host Gay was very pleasant and easy to deal with. Thank you, Gay - I hope to return to Rosie's soon!

Comfortable cottage

We had a fantastic stay here for a week. Everything we needed. The bed was so comfortable, I could have been on my own bed. Lovely sitting on the deck, catching the sun and breeze looking at the beautiful ever changing view. A twenty minute walk to New world and coffee. Cooking facilities, washing machine. All new and easy to use. We will definitely be staying here when we are back in the area. Stanmore bay is a treat at any time. Thank you Gay and Jon, you are the perfect hosts. Fran and Roger

An absolute delight!

Our stay at this lovely little cottage was the icing on the cake for our wonderful long weekend away! We thoroughly enjoyed the layout and style of this lovely space that had clearly been created with love and care by the hosts. The cottage has kept its history and charm and is surrounded by a cute and cosy garden which makes it feel surprisingly peaceful and private. We had everything provided to us that we could possibly need - and more - including lovely fresh flowers and some treats. Personally I felt that staying here was our special little treat. Thank you!!!!

We ended a three week trip from the US to NZ in this cottage, and it was the perfect place to finish the trip! It is quiet, well-cared for, and perfectly sized. We loved it.
