About this property

Kereru Cottage, tranquil and safe, close to Baddeleys Beach, Tawharanui

A wonderfully private bach retreat at Baddeleys Beach, close to Matakana village. It is a short walk to Baddeley's Beach only two minutes away (Campbell's Beach 10 min walk). Both beaches have safe playground facilities for children. The 55 minute drive from Auckland Harbour Bridge is soon to be reduced further with the completion of the Puhoi motorway section. An elevated picture frame view through native taraire, puriri and nikau trees looks out into Kawau Bay. An extensive decking area adds to indoor/outdoor living. Native bird life abounds in the adjacent bush: wood pigeon (kereru), tui, bellbird, fantail and kaka. Other birdlife includes quail, pheasants and kookaburra.
The single level bach comes with all the necessary fit out to ensure a comfortable stay, whether it be a weekend or a week or two. A gas fired brick BBQ is conveniently located on the deck.
The location is central to many local attractions including Matakana village and Farmer's Market, cinemas, galleries, wineries, Brick Bay sculpture trail, Sculptureum Park and restaurant, Tawharanui and other regional parks, Goat Island, Sawmill Brewery, Sandspit/Kawau ferry, and golf courses at Omaha and Warkworth.

Lovely nz bach
Great place to relax with a bush surrounded deck, and so much bird life. Beach just down the road. Everything in the bach that we needed for our stay and lots of activities - Matakana, Tawharanui sanctuary, and Kawau Island to name a few. Would stay again.

Tawharanui wedding
I stayed at Kereru cottage with my daughter and her family, for my youngest daughters wedding at the Koru Hideway. It was the perfect location! A lovely little Bach with all the amenities we needed. The deck is fabulous and the view so lovely. We felt as though we were living in the bush, it is so private. It was lovely to wake up to birdsong every morning and the last morning there were sheep in the pasture right outside the door. My 2 year old granddaughter and I went to the park which is a 15 minute walk down the hill (it’s actually @ 5, but remember, she’s two ;-) right next to the bay. Communication with John was very easy. Thank you for a wonderful stay, it only enhanced my daughters wedding! Julie Stryker Madeline Island, Wisconsin USA

Why they chose this property

The location is close to Matakana village with great access to Tawharanui, Omaha and Point Wells. The bach is positioned along a private ROW and is surrounded by native bush and vibrant bird life. The bach offers a picture frame view through native puriri, taraire and nikau trees out into Kawau Bay. The bach and surrounds offer comfortable accommodation and amenity access. This is ideal for couples and small families to experience a slice of greater Auckland away from the bustle of the city. The bach has a good range of facilities and extensive decking around three sides of the cottage. This is a safe setting for young families.

What makes this property unique

A well appointed two bedroom bach, close to beaches, with easy access to the many attractions in the Matakana and Tawharanui areas of the Rodney District.
