Originally built in the 1940s, this cottage is one of the town’s first homes, full of character and stories. Over the years, it has evolved, blending its rich past with fresh, modern updates to create a cozy, inviting retreat for families and friends alike. The Space: Step inside, and you'll discover a beautifully renovated interior where country style meets modern comforts. The fully equipped kitchen offers convenience, complete with an indoor dining table. In summer, the lounge spills out onto a sunny deck, while in winter, you can unwind by the fireplace for a cozy escape. What truly makes Totara Cottage special is its outdoor space.

My wife, sister-in-law and I stayed at this bach for three nights. We had a great time there. It’s a super place — a few minutes’ walk from Oneroa and with a degree of privacy from the road. The owner could not have been more helpful, accommodating and communicative. In a nutshell, strongly recommended! ##### Duncan A.
