Paul & Julie
This is a small cabin suitable for short stays, the bedroom is small but it is compensated by the location, deck, bathroom & beach which are great. Sit on kayaks and stand-up paddle are available free of charge. Tidy comfortable cabin just metres from a lovely private beach and walking distance around the rocks to the marina, cafe's, fishing club & pizzeria. No road noise, safe swimming & easy access to beautiful kayaking or trips to the Poor Knights Islands. Ideal for the young adventurers that likes to get out and about. Diving, kayaking, swimming, SUP board, lovely walks are all at hand. This cabin offers a deck that looks over the Tutukaka marina. Settled beside the main house the cabin includes BBQ, fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, plates, cups, utensils, heater, fan, unlimited WIFI and tea & coffee. Basic cooking only, but there are great eateries near by. The kayaks are available for use, the cabin has a new bathroom, though the cabin is small it is suitable for a couple that would like to explore the Tutukaka coast or go kayaking or SCUBA diving. A magic get-away, easy access to the Poor Knights, Whale Bay, Sandy Bay or walks into the bush to view the famous Tane Moana kauri tree.
We are a family with two children and a small overfriendly dog, we welcome holiday makers and travellers. If you just want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life then we look forward to your visit.
The local scene offers Schnapper Rock café & bar, pizzeria, fishing club and just a few minutes drive is the Ngunguru sports centre. If instead you would like to relax on the deck, it's the perfect place to be.
