About this property

Delightful elevated sunny S/C Studio

This is an ideal place where couples or friends can relax in private for a romantic getaway.

This lovely, fully renovated colonial cottage-style bed sit studio is fully self contained, and situated in an elevated 1 acre of grounds. right on Gregory Lane, a private lane which overlooks the town of Whangamata.

This sweet little hideaway also has attractive polished wooden floors. It has a modern smart kitchenette and ensuite bathroom plus a hot water outdoor shower to wash off the sand from the beach.

Your comfort and warmth is ensured with a heat pump and cosy electric blanket, plus a choice of summer or winter weight duvets and bed quilt. A flat screen TV and Freeview ensures quality viewing.

Either relax outdoors on the two sun loungers, or use the table and chairs in the sheltered courtyard.

A delightful bush walkway along the Moana-anu estuary with access from nearby Brenton Place, brings you out on the main road to the bridge and a short walk past the marina into the town for your latte and newspaper.

The Studio is adjacent to a restored colonial style kauri cottage holiday home but your privacy is ensured as you have use of the entire property. If the owners occupy their holiday home they would let you know of this in advance.
Its set in a peaceful sheltered garden and orchard surroundings with native bird life, yet only minutes drive away from Whangamata's popular surf beach, shops, clubs, estuary / harbour, Wentworth Valley Regional Park and nearby golf courses.

This cute little cottage had everything. Nestled on the hillside, the studio was privately tucked away down the side of their beautiful property, either a 4min drive to town or a 20min walk. Kaye & Peter were quick to communicate and so friendly. Thank you so much for our perfect stay :)

From the moment we arrived until the day we left this little piece of paradise was perfect. Everything was laid on as expected and the studio was immaculate. The decor is stunning and fresh and I loved the high pressure shower in the morning. Kaye and Peter are the perfect owners and take pride in hosting their guests. We loved it here and never wanted to leave but will definitely return for some more sun, walks to the beach and sirloin on the Weber washed down with Angas King Shiraz. Thank you Kaye and Peter for a lovely stay.

Great place for a getaway

We stayed for two nights and really enjoyed our visit. The studio was a perfect size for us and the property is clearly well looked after. The owners are lovely and very welcoming as well. If you want to be in a quiet area but still close to the beach, this spot is ideal.
