​Your Serene Seaside Sanctuary Awaits

​Escape to a world of coastal calm and breathtaking beauty at our private cottage in Whitford, Auckland's best-kept secret. Perched above a tranquil peninsula, this is more than just a place to stay — it's an experience designed for connection, relaxation, and romance. Let the gentle sound of the tide replace the city's hum as you unwind in your own piece of paradise.
​The Space:
​Step inside our beautifully appointed cottage, a light-filled sanctuary designed for two, but can be enjoyed by more. The open-plan living space invites you to relax on the plush sofa with a good book or simply gaze out at the ever-changing seascape. Prepare a romantic meal in the fully-equipped kitchen, or let the morning sun fill the room as you plan a day of gentle exploration.
​When it's time to rest, sink into the comfortable queen bed fitted with crisp, high-quality linens. The peaceful surroundings and the distant glimmer of moonlight on the water are the perfect recipe for a deep and restorative sleep.
​The Experience & Outdoors:
​The true magic begins when you step outside. Your sun room is the heart of the home, the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee while watching the yachts bob gently in the bay. In the evening, unwind with a glass of New Zealand wine as the setting sun paints the sky in hues of soft pink and lavender.
​Beyond the deck, a sprawling, lush lawn rolls towards the sea, framed by iconic native trees. It’s a space that feels vast and private, inviting you to wander, picnic, or simply lie back and watch the clouds drift by. The air here is fresh, the scenery is soul-stirring, and the feeling is one of complete tranquility.
​The Location: The Best of Both Worlds
​The magic of our location is its perfect paradox. You are nestled in the serene, rolling green hills of Whitford, feeling a world away from any hustle and bustle. Explore charming local markets, coastal walkways, and boutique wineries.
​Yet, you are only a scenic 30-minute drive from the heart of Auckland CBD. You can spend your day enjoying the vibrant culture, dining, and shopping of the city, and retreat to your peaceful sanctuary in the evening. It’s the ultimate romantic escape without the long journey.
​Our cottage is an idyllic haven for:
​Couples celebrating an anniversary, honeymoon, or special occasion.
​Busy professionals needing to disconnect and recharge. Retreat with friends.
​Anyone seeking a solo retreat to read, write, and find inspiration.
​Your serene coastal escape awaits. We invite you to book your stay and create memories that will last a lifetime.
