Extensive renovations have given this 2 bedroom house the modern upgrade that provides you with all the modern features that makes it so comfortable living here. All the mod cons are on hand including Dishwasher, Heat Pump, Unlimited Wi-Fi - 100Mbps, Smart TV, Ceiling Fans, UV Water filtration system. Add in the rural feel with farmland on one side and bush to the rear and you'll soon have a sense of being away from the outside world, yet not too far from it when you choose. If you feel like a stroll on the beach, a meal out or great coffee in the morning it's only a few minutes down the road. A big relaxing lounge greets you on your return and a Smart TV and heat pump give you all the comforts that you will need if you just feel like staying in. There is a BBQ and a fully equipped kitchen including oven and dishwasher if you wish to have meals at home. In the evening gaze out over the beach and village at the sunsets from the large deck as you enjoy some private outdoor dinning. Retreat indoors to play some board games on the dining table or just sit around and chat or try out the electric foot rests on the couch and put your feet up for a bit while you catch your favourite Netflix or Youtube show on the wall mounted Smart TV. Whatever you feel like doing. It's your holiday after all. Location: House is at the end of a cul-de-sac which makes this an ideal location in a private rural setting surrounded by farm animals, native bush and birds. Lukes Kitchen, Cafe and Kuaotunu Store are only a 4 minute stroll down the road. Important things to note: The Blue building seen in some photos is a separate annex that is not available for guest use and is not occupied. You have the property to yourself during your reservation. Shampoos, Conditioners, Body Wash, Hand Soaps, Toilet Paper, Laundry detergent, Dish brush, Dish liquid, Dishwasher tabs etc are supplied for the duration of your stay. A starter amount of Cooking Oil, Tea and Coffee is on hand for when you arrive but you should bring your own if you will be staying longer or plan to do a lot of cooking. I provide a fresh linen set every 7 nights so you won't have to do any laundry during your holiday, though there is a front loader washing machine and outside clothesline if needed. Pets: I'm sorry, this property can not accept Pets as there are livestock nearby. Children Under 12: This property is not suitable for children under 12 years due to stairs, large glass area and immediate unfenced proximity to farmland. Mobile phone coverage for 2 Degrees, Spark and Vodafone. This property uses a Minut environment monitor which monitors temperature, humidity, smoke alarm activations and sound levels within the house. Early Check-in and Late Check out options are offered in the Guest Pre-Arrival check-in which is sent to you after you book. Important Payment Information: As a Vrbo Elite Connectivity Partner software host payments and deposits are managed a little differently from standard Vrbo/Bookabach bookings. This gives me much more flexibility on how your payments are made and when they are made. Benefits to you are: \- Only the Vrbo Guest Service is payable at tbe time of your confirmed reservation, unless Check-in Date is less than 30 Days from now. \- Free Cancellation up to 30 Days before Check-in Date. \- Guest must login to the Holiday Coromandel Guest Portal within 24 hours of reservation to complete the reservation and sign the Rental Agreement. \- NZ$500 Security Deposit hold 48 hours before check-in and will be released after the property has been inspected and cleared for damage, missing items or excess cleaning. hc-fdj76 ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Comprehensive recycling policy - Double-glazed windows - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Grey water recycling system - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 861 square feet - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83820000/83818000/83817902/502b6dc0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kuaotunu Beachfront - the beach at your door Kuaotunu - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-24&endDate=2026-02-25&selected=83817902&PinnedHotelID=83817902&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89780000/89777400/89777328/cee7e382.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Black House Lookout - Kuaotunu Holiday Home Kuaotunu - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-24&endDate=2026-02-25&selected=89777328&PinnedHotelID=89777328&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Sun-loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32080000/32075800/32075793/1a0f1dfd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lovely Beach Bach Retreat Kuaotunu - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Outdoor space 9.4 Exceptional 19 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-24&endDate=2026-02-25&selected=32075793&PinnedHotelID=32075793&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![1 bedroom, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113210000/113208400/113208349/050b0a32.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kuaotunu Cabin 2 by Tiny Away Kuaotunu - Kitchen - Air-conditioning - Barbecue grill - Microwave £93 includes taxes & fees 16 Feb - 17 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-16&endDate=2026-02-17&selected=113208349&PinnedHotelID=113208349&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113150000/113141400/113141357/ea9f17b8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kūaotunu Cabin 1 by Tiny Away Kuaotunu - Kitchen - Air-conditioning - Barbecue grill - Microwave 9.4 Exceptional 9 reviews £93 includes taxes & fees 15 Feb - 16 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-15&endDate=2026-02-16&selected=113141357&PinnedHotelID=113141357&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117440000/117435700/117435673/0bd0d00a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kuaotunu Beachfront - prime location for a great holiday!
