Kereru Cottage, tranquil and safe, close to Baddeleys Beach, Tawharanui

A wonderfully private bach retreat at Baddeleys Beach, close to Matakana village. It is a short walk to Baddeley's Beach only two minutes away (Campbell's Beach 10 min walk). Both beaches have safe playground facilities for children. The 55 minute drive from Auckland Harbour Bridge is soon to be reduced further with the completion of the Puhoi motorway section. An elevated picture frame view through native taraire, puriri and nikau trees looks out into Kawau Bay. An extensive decking area adds to indoor/outdoor living. Native bird life abounds in the adjacent bush: wood pigeon (kereru), tui, bellbird, fantail and kaka. Other birdlife includes quail, pheasants and kookaburra.
The single level bach comes with all the necessary fit out to ensure a comfortable stay, whether it be a weekend or a week or two. A gas fired brick BBQ is conveniently located on the deck.
The location is central to many local attractions including Matakana village and Farmer's Market, cinemas, galleries, wineries, Brick Bay sculpture trail, Sculptureum Park and restaurant, Tawharanui and other regional parks, Goat Island, Sawmill Brewery, Sandspit/Kawau ferry, and golf courses at Omaha and Warkworth.
A child safe setting is offered, with a compliant balustrade around the deck perimeter.
Thorough cleaning is carried out after the departure of each group of guests.

Beautiful peaceful stay!
Beautiful location, very private. We had a lovely stay at the cottage which is fully equipped with everything we needed and very clean. So lovely to be able to sleep with the curtains open and wake up to the sunrise and birds in the morning.

Like a treehouse
Great spot for a week away with a young family. Toddler loved the stash of books, toys and playing on the deck. The shady verandah was appreciated on the hot days and the trees surrounding the cottage are amazing. But a few mosquitos about - would take mosquito nets next time for sleeping at night

A lovely place to get away from city life
I stayed here by myself for the first night and my family joined me for the second. Communications were top notch, and everything was how it said it would be. We saw a lot of bird life and that was just what I was after. Seeing a Kookaburra for me was a first too! Everything is close by should you need it, and it’s a really peaceful place in the world. I had six swims at 3 different local beaches, did two amazing bush walks, went to one local restaurant, went to the Matakana markets and read two magazines. That is a far cry from a crazy weekend in Auckland. I can’t wait to come back and do it again!!

Birds galore
I loved the tranquility, pure nature bliss. Woodpidgeons, Tuis at least 10 at the same time, Kakas, rosellas, kingfisher, fantail and more, I even heard a kookaburra… As I needed time out, this was pure bliss. I loved the outdoor shower, and living down to earth. Thank you so much.

Lovely stay!
We had a lovely stay here, would gladly come again. Host was great at communicating and it's such an awesome spot, close to Omaha and Tahwaranui. Home has all the amenities needed, the air conditioning/heat pump was a real treat in the hot days too. Thanks again
