We immensely enjoyed staying at Tina's lovely beach cottage. It had direct access to the inlet and beach and Tina offered us use of the water sport equipment and bikes that made our stay extra special. Cooks Beach is a beautiful seaside village that is close to all the local attractions in this piece of New Zealand paradise. Just remember to fill up with petrol and groceries before you arrive. Tina kindly provides breakfast and there is a fish and chips shop and a couple of places to eat. We were very comfortable and loved staying there. The cottage and the beauty of the area were the highlight of our trip.
