Historic cottage with harbour views

This two bedroomed cottage C.1880 is located on a stunning site 3 min drive from the car ferry. Stroll to the cafe, art gallery, pub, dairy, post office, RSA or bowls club. Take in the heritage walk around the village or just unwind with far reaching views in front of you.

Refurbished in recent years this is a very tidy cottage. Whilst it's a good place to rest if passing through it also makes an excellent base to discover Northland's history, beaches and walks. An excellent stopover on Northland's Twin Coast Cycle Trail, Pou Herenga Tai.

Previously known as ‘Beach Road Cottage’ the cottage has been renamed ‘Orowaru’ to better reflect the surrounding area and acknowledge Māori heritage. Orowaru means ‘sound of rippling water’. You will hear the cottage keep its namesake as you lie in bed listening to the gentle waves of the Harbour ripple by outside.

Kohukohu is nice
Unfortunately the cafe at Kohukohu has closed, so finding food for dinner was a bit of a challenge. The wood burner is great. Shower is basic. The neighbour mowed the lawns for about an hour and a half with a really noisy mower. This is not the fault of the owner.

A little touch of paradise
From the open communication with the owners prior to our stay to arriving and feeling immediately at home at this wonderful 140 year old cottage. Sitting on the front veranda each morning enjoying the wonderful view and a coffee started each day with a feeling of relaxed calmness. The facilities are great, well equipped kitchen, very comfortable beds and great selection of games to keep us entertained in the evenings. Our daily walk to the cafe, etc. enabled us to meet many locals and were certainly welcomed. Loved exploring the surrounding areas - so much natural beauty. Thank you
