About this cottage rental
A cute cottage on a 1.85 hectare property very private (we live in the main house on the other side of the property)
Relax in a rural setting lots of trees expansive lawn and a short stroll down a path to the beach and rock pools at low tide. (sandy swimming beach 5 mins drive) Great for star gazing on a clear night. No wifi or T.V.
Riversdale Beach has a store with basic groceries, burgers, takeaways, coffee,wine, and beer.
We love our special place in paradise and love sharing a unique part of New Zealand with others. A number of interesting garden artworks can be seen in the large rustic garden.
Castlepoint is a 40 minute drive away - the lighthouse can be seen flashing at night from the property.
Craypot Cottage is situated on a working farm so please follow the signs regarding driving very slowly through the yards and 30 km elsewhere to safeguard animals and keep down dust in dry weather.
Riversdale Beach has lovely walks along the beach and walkways up hills wandering through the new subdivision and southern beach walkway for those wanting a decent climb.
Special conditions:
Rural property. No oven but great microwave and electric cooktop. BBQ at the cottage under cover. Washing machine available at main house for long stays.
Extras: Please leave the cottage as you found it. We don't add a cleaning surcharge. Empty fridge and take away all food and rubbish.
Linen and towels (included)
