2 Bedroom Cottage in Tawharanui, Matakana

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.
A child safe setting is offered, with a compliant balustrade around the deck perimeter.
Thorough cleaning is carried out after the departure of each group of guests.
