SECLUDED COSY COTTAGE BY THE RIVER
A minutes walk from the Takou River and a short paddle to the sea at Takou Bay, surrounded by 150 acres of pasture, native bush and 5 acres of sub-tropical gardens, River Cottage is one of two identical adjoining cottages, each private and self contained with their own alfresco claw foot baths and use of all the amenities at Takou River.
River Cottage offers the perfect romantic retreat or ultimate space to escape, relax and reconnect. Ideal for winter and summer with its cosy wood fire, beautiful timber floors and romantic private alfresco claw foot bath either perched on the deck of your cottage or hidden in the gardens at the beautiful Summer House. Wth limitless hot water, candles and flowers it offers the perfect place to lie back, relax, romance and gaze at the stars.
Peace, seclusion and tranquility abound - your own private and romantic alfresco claw foot bath to relax and romance under beautiful dark night skies; a private and beautiful river front with secluded swimming spots; a private boathouse with kayaks, canoes and fishing rods to borrow; 150 acres of beautiful pasture, native bush and magical glow worms to discover, and 5 acres sub-tropical gardens to wander and explore; and last but not least the, beautiful deserted sandy beaches a short paddle downstream at Takou Bay.
River Cottage is centrally located to explore the wider Bay of Islands and Far North, yet hidden away from the hustle and bustle amid 150 acres of organic pasture, native bush and river frontage. Enjoy the flourishing birdlife; wander enchanted gardens and riverside walks; fish or swim in the river or take a kayak and paddle downstream to the deserted sandy beaches at Takou Bay; relax, refresh and romance in your own private claw foot bath – or bask in the bliss of doing absolutely nothing.
