Right on the river, next to Lover's Rock reserve, Estuary Cottage is the perfect retreat and holiday home. A few minutes drive to the spectacular beaches, restaurants, cafes and amenities of Whitianga, but with the peace of stunning estuary sunsets right outside your door. Just as easy to have a night out, do your shopping or soak up the beach sun as it is to curl up with a coffee and chill on the back deck while you watch the ebb and flow of the tide. The best of both worlds! Two generous double bedrooms downstairs, a loft style kids bedroom upstairs and a sofa bed in the living room can accommodate everyone, including your furry friends. Beautiful designer linens and toiletries are provided. The kitchen has all the mod cons with electric cooking and a dishwasher, the large sunny open plan living and dining area is comfortable and light. The bathroom has a shower and proper bath to soak in. There's even desk set up for those who have to work remotely. The essentials are catered for, just turn up and enjoy! Grab a cold one and put your feet up, watch as the kids swim at the river front, just steps from the back deck. A classic kiwi beach bach, in a quiet neighborhood, but right on the estuary so you easily kayak, SUP, swim or just stroll along the reserve. Furry friends are allowed for a small fee, please clean up after them, do not leave them unsupervised and treat the house and garden with respect. Plenty of off street parking to keep your car and boat. Robinson Road boat ramp is a few hundred meters away where you can launch towards the great game fishing waters around Mercury Bay. This one ticks all the boxes! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Spices ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 25 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Recycling - Water-efficient showers ## Similar properties ![On the beach, sun-loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31690000/31686000/31686000/a14e83be.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Right on the beach at secluded Rings Beach Rings Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 9.4 Exceptional 47 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-02&endDate=2025-12-03&selected=31686000&PinnedHotelID=31686000&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120270000/120260900/120260817/cbaed5cb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pine Haven - Matarangi Holiday Home Whitianga - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-02&endDate=2025-12-03&selected=120260817&PinnedHotelID=120260817&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71940000/71932200/71932111/99a2def4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Whitianga Beachfront Whitianga - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 25 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-02&endDate=2025-12-03&selected=71932111&PinnedHotelID=71932111&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37920000/37915300/37915248/06f7faaa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Waterfront Wonder - Matarangi Holiday Home Matarangi - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Laundry - Outdoor space 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-02&endDate=2025-12-03&selected=37915248&PinnedHotelID=37915248&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/56000000/55020000/55013300/55013231/90-a40e3903.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sleeps 12, spacious holiday home, great indoor outdoor flow.
