We had the most wonderful stay at Kurrawa Cottage. The dwelling itself is your classic Kiwi bach, small and fit-for-purpose, very clean and comfortable and kitted out with everything you might need, but nothing more. The grounds are the real star of this place - the cottage sits on around 2 acres of beautiful, lush tropical palm groves with loads of green lawn space, a funky little outdoor bar, gardens, separate cottage that can also be rented, and all just a 5-10 min walk from the beach. The property is gloriously serene, private, quiet and so pretty - you feel as if you could be on a tropical island! Add to this incredibly friendly, gracious hosts who are there if you need them but otherwise invisible, and it couldn't be more perfect. A great space to relax, unwind and feel as if you've jetted off for a tropical holiday without actually leaving NZ. Couldn't recommend it more. We will definitely be back!
