Independent News (UK, October 2004)


The 80m2 (860 sq ft) Te Koinga Cottage offers a superb home away from home experience, with two bi-folding doors that open on to a generous wooden deck and fantastic sea views.  Ideally suited for two couples or a family. Te Koinga is equally suitable as a winter or summer getaway.  Set under the shade of a magnificent sprawling Pohutukawa tree and surrounded by picturesque gardens that offer lovely views and privacy, Te Koinga embraces the outdoors with extensive decking perfectly suited to alfresco dining and rest and relaxation in the sun.  Winter warmth can be found inside, with a cosy wood fire place and a superb indoor dining table that seats up to 16 people.

Comfortably furnished and tastefully presented with wood panelled and cream/tan rag rolled walls, Te Koinga offers a superbly relaxing atmosphere. 

The bathroom includes both a shower and a bath and the open planned kitchen is equipped with a microwave, large fridge/freezer, stove, dishwasher and coffee maker.  The two bedrooms have carpet and expand out in to the open plan dining and kitchen area and separate bathroom and toilet. 

Amenities include an outdoor shower, large sun umbrella, parking to your door and access to the Hot Tub (with sea views).

With its Kiwi bach type  atmosphere and double bi -folding doors that open from the conservatory onto a picturesque garden and extensive sea views, Turehu Cottage is the ideal holiday location for a couple and child or two friends.

The cottage has a conservatory/ lounge, dining table and bathroom (shower/ toilet) and kitchen.

Turehu Cottage is well equipped with all the modern conveniences, including a microwave oven, stove, large fridge/freezer, coffee plunger and all kitchen and dining amenities.  

Whilst we doubt you'll use it - there is also a television in the bedroom area.  
There are a choice of outdoor dining locations.  Either under one of the many sprawling Pohutukawa trees that abound on the property, on the hillside bench/table overlooking the beach and Bethell's Valley beyond or on your front lawn with all views. 

Gentle cream walls with white trim and cork and slate floors create a warm, tasteful and comfortable atmosphere allowing  you to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the most majestic of Auckland's west coast beaches (one of Auckland's best kept secrets!).
