Book a Pounawea Cottage

"The best bach we have stayed in. Spotlessly clean, stylishly furnished and comfortable, and well equipped with appliances that are easy to use. Stunning location in a pretty and private garden, less than 5 minutes walk to the beach. We enjoyed watching Netflix in the evening. Excellent communication with the host. Can't wait to return! Thank you also for allowing our dog to stay."

"Loved our stay at Jeff's place! The location was excellent, and waking up to peace and quiet, with only a short walk to the beach was amazing! We stayed during a particularly windy weekend so hung up the linens in the bathroom as we weren't confident they would stay put. Would definitely stay again!"

"I had the pleasure of staying here for 1 night and it was wonderful. The location is perfect and quiet, and it was good to enjoy some peace after spending time in other busier towns/cities. Esther was a great host, very kind and welcoming. Will be recommending this place to anyone who travels to this part of New Zealand."

"We had a lovely room with a view."

"Fabulous place. "
