Renga Renga Retreat – Garden Cottage Near the Beach

Slow down, breathe in the fresh coastal air and settle into the peaceful surroundings of Renga Renga Retreat.

Tucked among mature trees and established gardens in Tirohanga, this charming one-bedroom cottage is a lovely place to escape the everyday. Step outside in the morning with a coffee and listen to the tui calling from the trees, wander through the garden, or simply sit back and enjoy the quiet. With pōhutukawa, banksia, olive trees, lavender, fruit trees and grapevines surrounding the cottage, there is always something to discover.

The beach and sand dunes are just a short stroll away, reached via the driveway and public walkway. Spend the morning wandering along the shoreline, head out for a ride on the nearby Motu Trails, or simply return to the cottage and enjoy a lazy afternoon on the deck. When you feel like exploring further, Ōpōtiki is only a short drive away, with cafés, restaurants, shops and local amenities.

Inside, the cottage is fresh, bright and welcoming. The open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area opens onto a spacious deck, creating an easy flow between indoor and outdoor living. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need for a relaxed breakfast or an evening meal at home, while the deck is the perfect spot to enjoy your first coffee of the day or a quiet drink as the afternoon fades.

The sunny bedroom has a comfortable Queen bed and ensuite bathroom, while the spacious lounge includes a Double bed for additional guests. Please note that guests using the lounge bed share the ensuite bathroom with the bedroom.

With air conditioning and a washing machine, Renga Renga Retreat has everything you need whether you`re staying for a few nights or settling in for a longer coastal escape.
