A welcoming, spacious and sunny two bedroom coastal cottage with large garden nestled on the shores of the beautiful Waimea Estuary on the Bronte Peninsula.
Wake to happy birdsong and the ebb and flow of the changing tides.
A magical place to unwind and revive the soul
A very clean and spacious cottage in a prime but quiet location.

''We fell in love with the cottage before we even stepped inside. Once inside we fell even more in love. The cottage was beautifully appointed with everything you need for a short or longer stay. The backdrop was incredible with views across the bay. Location was fantastic.''

Looking forward to coming back.''

The cottage is wonderfully located and tranquil with a lovely in and out flow. Everything you need for a relaxed holiday including kayaks for the water. Very nice welcome basket as well as a good vegetable plot to use. Highly recommend staying at the cottage.

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
The house exceeded our expectations: location, view, interior, heating (partially with fan, in the living room with wood fire), kitchen - everything was perfect! Communicatoin with the host (Lesley) was quick, direct and clear, their gallery and art is beautiful.
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
The cottage was even better than the photos which is hard to believe because the photos were fantastic. This was a true oasis and Lesley was the perfect host. We loved all the thoughtful little touches... 2 x luggage racks plus a luggage bench in each room. The hot water bottles that matched the decor... truly Kiwiana. This is truly a place that feels like a private sanctuary.

This is our third visit here and it never fails to delight. The location and standard of accommodation is excellent.
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2024
Everything about our stay was as good as it could be, Home is well equipped and communication was very helpful. It was the location on the edge of the bay which really did it for us though. The outdoor space, setting and views are just glorious. Would have stayed longer if we could, would stay again if it wasn't on the other side of the world from home.
