Monthly Rentals in Wharariki Beach

We love staying at Kōtuku even when it’s raining! Which it did for most of our recent visit. Bellbirds, tūīs, piwakwaka all keeping us company and even little blue penguins too - they’re a bit noisy at night though!

Wonderful farm life style, very special peacocks, feed and watch them, even in storm rainy weather, we really enjoy the stay, many thanks to Mary!

The cottage was so delightful and was sunny and warm. You can see it was decorated with love! A bowl of fruit greeted me on the kitchen table and the kitchen had everything one would require. Cereals, tea, coffee and plunger coffee! and Milo. Milk in the fridge. Sugar cubes and raw sugar along with oils for cooking. And everything that was stated on the Airbnb site. It was across the road from the amazing Pākawau Beach. I lay on the deck at night and spent ages looking at the amazing night sky from this Dark Sky property. A great area for biking with so many walks and areas to explore. The hosts Jean And Bruce were just lovely. I live only a couple of hours away in another lovely spot but I won’t hesitate to book myself in for a few days for rest and relaxation and maybe share it with friends, if they are lucky! One of the loveliest stays I’ve had and felt privileged to stay on a dairy farm where four generations have grown up. Wonderful!

A simple but comfortable historic bach in a peaceful off-road location with a glimpse of sea from the front porch table, Emma’s cottage was just what we needed. The shower is hot and strong, the queen bed comfortable and the woodstove cozy and easy to use, with plenty of firewood stocked by the owners. There was plenty or kitchenware to prepare a dinner for six. Thank you for holding on to the bach’s historic feel while providing everything we needed for a happy stay. We look forward to returning, best wishes!
