🐴 A Little About Us

We’re a busy equestrian family, usually off most weekends (Nov → Easter) for comps. Because of that, we can’t manage same-day changeovers while we’re gone, so weekend bookings have a 2-night minimum (Friday to Sunday). If you absolutely can’t stay two nights but still need a weekend booking, send us a message and we’ll do our best to make it work.

🏠 The Space

A 3-bedroom coasty cottage that’s comfy, clean and gives “crash here, do nothing” energy. It’s cool in summer, relaxed, and has everything you need for a proper break. Perfect for working out of town, tangi downtime or just disappearing from real life for a bit.

🛋️ Lounge

Big couch, two La-Z-Boys, smart TV, free Netflix, fireplace and air con.
Cool when it’s hot, warm when it’s not.

🍳 Kitchen

Fridge/freezer, 5-burner gas hob and electric oven, microwave, toaster, kettle, air fryer, rice cooker, slow cooker, electric frypan, Nutribullet, egg beater and all the basics — pots, pans, trays, platters.
Cook a mean feed or bake your feelings. Your call.

🍽️ Dining

Table and 4 chairs — good for dinner, cards or yarns.

🛁 Bathroom / Laundry

The shower’s in the laundry (or maybe the laundry’s in the shower 🤷‍♀️).
Water pressure is strong enough to waterblast off the weight of the world.
Toilet, vanity, mirror, body wash, shampoo and conditioner included.
Washing machine, dryer and outdoor clothesline for that sun-dried freshness.

🛏️ Bedrooms

Room 1: Two king singles + king single trundler bed, wardrobe.
Room 2: Queen bed, desk and chair, wardrobe, dresser.
Room 3: Double bed, dresser, wardrobe. Compact but comfy.

Warm blankets stay on the beds just in case the nights get cool.

🔧 Cabin Coming Soon

Stay in Tolaga Bay

We spent two night's at Larissa's house in Tolaga Bay exploring the area. The hosts were so friendly and really went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and have everything we need. Will definitely recommend this property.
