About this property

Craypot Cottage - Getaway from town or city. Beachfront cottage.

A cute cottage on a 1.85 hectare property very private (we live in the main house on the other side of the property)
Relax in a rural setting lots of trees expansive lawn and a short stroll down a path to the beach and rock pools at low tide. (sandy swimming beach 5 mins drive) Great for star gazing on a clear night.
Riversdale Beach has a store with basic groceries, burgers, takeaways, coffee,wine, and beer.
There is a new cafe at Homewood open Friday to Sunday well worth the 15 min drive.
We love our special place in paradise and love sharing a unique part of New Zealand with others. A number of interesting garden artworks can be seen in the large rustic garden.
Castlepoint is a 40 minute drive away - the lighthouse can be seen flashing at night from the property.
Craypot Cottage is situated on a working farm so please follow the signs regarding driving very slowly through the yards and 30 km elsewhere to safeguard animals and keep down dust in dry weather.
Riversdale Beach has lovely walks along the beach and walkways up hills wandering through the new subdivision and south beach walkway for those wanting a decent climb.

Rural property. No oven but great microwave and electric cooktop. BBQ at the cottage under cover. Washing machine available at main house for long stays.

Extras: Please leave the cottage as you found it. Empty fridge and take away all food and rubbish.

Peaceful gem

This is a fabulous spot, tranquil, superb views out to the ocean, nestled into a patch of bush with grassy lawn on two sides. The owners live nearby, and are attentive and generous if you need anything, but otherwise totally unobtrusive. The bach is simply equipped, no frills, but it's all you need. The beach out the front is quite wild and rocky, not a great swimming beach but excellent for walking, and Riversdale beach is only 2km away. We would definitely come back here for a holiday again.
