Bifold doors open onto a sun-drenched deck, where you can relax and enjoy the soothing sights and sounds of the surrounding countryside. Three cosy bedrooms and a neat bathroom with a shower over bath make up for a relaxing stay. When adventure calls, head to nearby Johnson Point, a hidden local gem with its serene estuary perfect for swimming and kayaking. Take a stroll through the dunes at low tide to discover a secluded white sand beach that feels like your own private escape— truly a scene straight from a postcard. You can also walk or cycle all the way to Waipu Cove beach on a new purpose-built track next to the road which can be accessed from the driveway entrance. Whether you’re seeking a relaxing family retreat or a nostalgic coastal escape, Serene Cove Escape offers the perfect blend of charm, privacy, and adventure for your next holiday. All guests are advised to be careful on the deck with a 1m drop without an adequate barrier to prevent falls.Although the property is pet-friendly, pets are not permitted on furniture and beds. Please ensure pets are secured outside if left unattended as the property is not fully-fenced.There are 2 x kids life-jackets available to use with the kayaks but we do recommend that guests bring their own well-fitting life-jackets to ensure safety. Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen -
