Amazing Water Views from the Harbour Masters Cottage! 2 mins walk to the beach
Escape to a haven where time stands still and nature paints the perfect backdrop for your coastal retreat. Welcome to the Harbour Master's Cottage!
Tucked away on the side of Paku, surrounded by lush foliage and embraced by ancient trees, our cottage offers a retreat like no other. Imagine.... stepping out the door for a morning walk up the achient volcano peak, strolling down the hill for a beach afternoon and finishing the day with wine on the deck taking in the magnificent coastal views.
The old harbour masters cottage is split over 2 levels, the upper and original building is made up of a main bedroom (queen bed), bathroom/laundry, modern kitchen and living space with TV. The top level expands onto a large balcony and bbq facilities overlooking the ever-changing estuary and mountain scenery. A sheltered back deck with day bed is the perfect spot to gaze upon the bush of the mountain and beautiful old tree.
The recently constructed lower level is a bunk room style (queen and one 2 bed bunkbed) with its own bathroom and a shared sleeping/ breakout space. The room has 2 large beanbags and second TV, making it the perfect space for the kids to hang out. This area also has its own large deck access that looks out over the water.
This property is accessible via a long staircase and guests should consider this before booking.
