Patsy Cottage – A Charming 1960s Kiwi Bach near Kaitaia

Just a three-minute stroll from the pristine white sands of Tokerau Beach lies Sandy Cottage, a cosy retreat awaiting your arrival.

Picture yourself spending leisurely afternoons on the shady, spacious deck, while the BBQ sizzles and the kids frolic on the lush lawn. Inside, the cottage exudes character and charm, with a large living area that opens onto a new veranda boasting sea views. Originally built as a family holiday home, it has evolved over the years to meet modern needs, with charming touches like polished timber tables crafted from farm-milled wood.

The kitchenette ensures convenience, featuring an induction cooktop, microwave, and air fryer (no oven). Recently refreshed with a fresh coat of paint, both inside and out, the cottage offers a modern living space.

Accommodations include a spacious bedroom with a queen bed and a single, as well as a bed settee in the living room.

Venture just five minutes away to enjoy a round of golf at Carrington Estate Golf Course or a tasting at Karikari Estate Winery. Don't miss a day trip to Cape Reinga for breathtaking views and exploration.

After sun-soaked days at the beach, pop into Bayview Store, a short three-minute drive from the cottage, for ice cream and supplies. Tokerau Beach offers safe swimming, and boats can be launched directly from the sand. The main town of Kaitaia is a 30-minute drive away, offering essential services for the farming community. The local information center can assist with activity recommendations, while North Cape is a two-hour drive and Kerikeri is just under an hour away.

Sandy Cottage has been cherished by many and promises to provide a tranquil and comfortable retreat for your entire family this summer.
