Sunset cottage Paekākāriki - sand, sea and sunsets

SUNSET SPECIAL - During July and August we're offering guests a 5.00pm checkout on Sundays, so you can make the most of your weekend getaway and spend all day at the beach.

This one-bedroom seaside cottage is directly across the road from Paekakariki Beach and is the perfect location for those who enjoy beach walks, swims and surfing.

The Escarpment track (Te Araroa trail), Whareroa Farm, surf club, village cafes and artist workshops are all close by. The star of the show is the beach view and, with a west-facing aspect, you'll have the opportunity for great sun and incredible sunsets.

The cottage is fully self-contained and has dedicated off-street parking. The owner's residence is on the same site, but both are separate and private.

Lovely quiet house with gorgeous views. Local cafes were delicious and the area has such a lovely vibe. Hosts had added little touches in the house to make it very comfortable, a lot of thought had gone into making guests comfortable.
