About this property

Maple's Den - Collingwood beach house

Maple's Den is a quiet, comfortable and sunny 3-bedroom house just across the road from Collingwood beach. The spacious, open-plan living and dining area, and sunroom, command an expansive 180-degree view over the bay from Separation Point to Farewell Spit. From the upstairs living area and sunroom you can observe spectacular sunrises, interesting coastal birds, and be mesmerized by the tide going in and out.

The kitchen is very well equipped and overlooks the ocean. The sundeck leads to a deck with a good quality BBQ. There are three large bedrooms, one king and one queen upstairs, and a third bedroom downstairs with one queen and a bunk set. There is a diverse selection of DVDs, games and books to occupy all ages, in addition to free, unlimited wifi internet. Maple's Den is also very well suited for a comfortable winter escape, with a fireplace and good supply of dry firewood for cozy winter nights.

The beach is tidal and safe for swimming and is on the coastal walking route to Milnethorpe Park. The bach is just a short walking distance to the Courthouse cafe, local pub and shops in Collingwood village, as well as to the departure point for Farewell Spit tours. Maple's Den is well situated for access to the Heaphy Track, and to explore Farewell Spit, Wharariki Beach and all that Golden Bay has to offer.

My husband Paul and I loved this place. Beautiful views. Loose to shops. A short walk down the road. Paul went for a swim every day. We both loved it. Can't think of any negative comments. Thank you for letting us stay at your batch. We will definitely be back.

Perfect holiday house!

We had the best time! So easy back and forth from the beach - safe swimming. Amazing view from the house. Even though it’s across the road from the beach it’s a very quiet dead end road so it really felt like the beach was at the front door. Perfect spot to base ourselves for exploring!

Idyllic Golden Bay

We selected this property based on the description of the house and our prior knowledge of the area. It did not disappoint! The house was immaculately clean and ready for the 6 of us (three generations - 2-74) with an abundance of meal preparation tools, cooking/serving pots/bowls, cutlery, crockery, glasses, appliances, bbq, etc. The house is sited perfectly for the beach with easy indoor/outdoor flow. We hope to return. Two small quibbles: 1) the bathroom could use more towel rails and 2) some lighter blankets would be nice for the upstairs bedrooms.
