Whitianga River Front Cottage - the best of both worlds!

Right on the river, next to Lover's Rock reserve, Estuary Cottage is the perfect retreat and holiday home. A few minutes drive to the spectacular beaches, restaurants, cafes and amenities of Whitianga, but with the peace of stunning estuary sunsets right outside your door. Just as easy to have a night out, do your shopping or soak up the beach sun as it is to curl up with a coffee and chill on the back deck while you watch the ebb and flow of the tide. The best of both worlds!

Two generous double bedrooms downstairs, a loft style kids bedroom upstairs and a sofa bed in the living room can accommodate everyone, including your furry friends. Beautiful designer linens and toiletries are provided. The kitchen has all the mod cons with electric cooking and a dishwasher, the large sunny open plan living and dining area is comfortable and light. The bathroom has a shower and proper bath to soak in. There's even desk set up for those who have to work remotely. The essentials are catered for, just turn up and enjoy! Grab a cold one and put your feet up, watch as the kids swim at the river front, just steps from the back deck.

A classic kiwi beach bach, in a quiet neighborhood, but right on the estuary so you easily kayak, SUP, swim or just stroll along the reserve. Furry friends are allowed for a small fee, please clean up after them, do not leave them unsupervised and treat the house and garden with respect. Plenty of off street parking to keep your car and boat. Robinson Road boat ramp is a few hundred meters away where you can launch towards the great game fishing waters around Mercury Bay.

This one ticks all the boxes!

River Cottage Magic
We loved the place and the location. The house was well presented and comfortsble. We loved being able to open the gate and step out onto the reserve alongside the estuary. We took the dogs for a walk did our daily jog had dinner outside as the sun set.
