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 nearby town of Whangamata. There is on site car parking with an EV charger.

    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 large flat screen Smart TV and Freeview ensures quality viewing with complimentary Wifi.

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

    A delightful scenic 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 coffee.

    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.

    It's 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 and harbour, Wentworth Valley Regional Park and nearby golf courses.

    Its also well located to take day trips to explore Hot Water Beach and the Cathedral Cove walkaway in the Coromandel, or head south via a pretty coastal road to Tauranga and the fruit bowl country of Bay of Plenty before coming home to your own cosy and snug retreat... this is just the perfect base for exploring the region.

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.

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.

Lovely cottage

Beautiful cottage, French romance style, in a quiet part of Whangamatā, rather out of town. Need a car (taxi) to get to Whangamata center for sure. Lovely gardens with native birds, serene, clean.

A lovely place with a beautiful property to enjoy. Close enough, under 5 mins drive, to the main street but far enough away to have a quiet time. Loved the Indian idol by the outsde table. Cheer Kaye and Peter

An Absolutely Lovely Stay

I so enjoyed being able to stay in the cottage. It is an terrific set-up with comfortable bed, small kitchen and nice bathroom. Beautifully decorated and the cottage is surrounded by gardens and has a front deck. Simply wonderful. Also communication with the host was seamless and responsive. I hope to stay again in the future.

Relaxing, Tasteful and little Noisey with Trucks

Beautiful relaxing tasteful interior, detached/next to large main house and garden area. Lush sub-tropical surrounding garden with relative privacy. We spent most of the time at the beach, of course! With a lot of work going on around Coromandel at the mo, this bypass road had a dozen trucks along the the road 25m above the accommodation. For medium/light sleepers might be challenging (for partner fine, for me no so much).

Gorgeous Spot

I thoroughly enjoyed my short break in this gorgeous cottage. Everything was as described with a comfy bed and very pretty little garden area to read a book or sit in the sun. The cottage has all you need for a relaxing stay. The Wi-Fi is rural so don’t expect to stream your favourite TV show (but you’re in a place conducive to reading and relaxing so should be throwing away the device for the duration of your stay and enjoying the tranquility) Road noise was not an issue as other guests have commented. Hosts had great communication and were very gracious. Thank you.

Perfect Little Studio

Great clean and tidy little studio - superb for a couple! Nice location, although next to the by-pass road, the intermittent traffic does not bother you. There is everything you need for a short to medium length stay and it is no problem to supply your own linen as requested. Check-in process and departure were simple and easy - the information sent out on booking, and that supplied at the studio are an absolute guide to get through these processes. We were lucky enough to meet the owners - who were staying in the adjacent property at the time and they were very welcoming, friendly, and helpful...but also treated you with the utmost respect and privacy at all times. A GREAT STAY - THANK YOU. WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO GO THERE AGAIN!!

Very comfortable but …

Apart from a token kitchen with no hob, this is a well equipped cottage with nice touches throughout. The concerns are the‘traditional’ practice of charging extra for bedding ie burying part of the actual cost for overseas visitors in the small print; the lack of key collection information until after arrival (stressful for oldies); noise from trucks on the adjacent main road can also be intrusive. As former owners of holiday cottages for many years it is clear that this property is run for the convenience of the owner not the guest.
