Kotare Cottage • Spa Pool • Walk to Town

This beautifully refreshed, cosy cottage is an inviting getaway for small groups, with a superb central location and the added indulgence of a spa pool. Kotare Cottage has two bedrooms, a stylish bathroom with shower and bath, and a lovely north-facing deck. The bright dining area flows into an expansive outdoor space, perfect for summer evenings.

The classic bach-style kitchen has everything you need for holiday cooking: a fridge, electric stove and cooktop, kettle, toaster and the all-important dish drawer. The cosy lounge has an L-shaped couch and a flat-screen Smart TV for laid-back movie nights. Bedroom one has a Super King bed, and bedroom two has a Queen bed nook with inner harbour views that leads onto the elevated deck, ideal for your morning brew. A lockable garage keeps bikes, surfboards and kayaks safe.

We provide bed linen, towels, toiletries, tea, coffee, milk, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher powder, laundry powder and gas for the BBQ. You will have the entire house and outdoor areas.

Raglan township`s cafes, arts scene and shops are a short drive away, and Lorenzen Bay is a 15-minute stroll for swimming and kayaking. Experienced surfers will love Manu Bay, Ngarunui Beach suits families with gentler waves, and you might spot orcas. Walking tracks at Mt Karioi and Te Toto Gorge are nearby (details in the house folder).

Please note the cottage is on the Main Road, so there may be some car noise at night; the second bedroom is at the rear, away from the road. The deck is elevated, so with young children please keep outdoor furniture away from the edge.
