Peaceful, beautiful setting for this spacious, convenient and modern Lodge

A light, airy space, all on the ground floor and accessible to those with mobility limits. The entry leads to a combined kitchen diner and lounge with sliding doors to the expansive garden. Heating is by underfloor heating, topped up if needed with electric heaters in each room. The house design means that the rooms stay comfortable even in the hot summer days. Outside has large lawns, games, barbeque area, seating, fabulous views and protected bush. Because of our close proximity to Tawharanui Park we are graced by many native bird species which are rare in other places.
The two bedrooms and one bathroom are on the ground floor and accessible to those with mobility limits. Flexible sleeping arrangements mean that Bedroom 1 can be two singles or a Super King Double, Bedroom 2 is a queen double. The large bathroom has a walk-in shower, hand basin, toilet and heated shower rail and toiletries all provided.
Both bedrooms have built in wardrobes and there are spare linen and towels, beach towels and extras to make your stay convenient, and if you have forgotten essentials such as toothpaste, we have an honesty box system with these ready for you. Cots (and linen etc) are also available on request.
The lodge is set in lawned and sculpted gardens with bush walks for the more adventurous. Look out onto Kawau Island and the sea.
Take a stroll to the end of the drive for the Christian Bay beach, or a short drive to some of New Zealand's most beautiful beaches and reserves including Anchor Bay on the Tawharanui Peninsula, Omaha, Goat Island Marine Reserve, Te Arai and Pakiri.
Locally you will find a plethora of vineyards, breweries, cafes and restaurants.
The Matakana Saturday market is a must, and the boutique 3 screen cinema is lovely.
We are conveniently close to some of the most popular wedding venues in the area if that is why you are visiting - but make sure you plan for longer to fully appreciate the area!
If you love art there are galleries and sculpture trails. There is golf at Warkworth and Omaha, sailing, diving and any water sport you can imagine. There are many walking tracks and reserves to be found locally too.

The Lodge is adjoined to Ruru Lodge (above) and the hosts main residence.

Lovely stay
Alysn is a great host! We were provided with everything we needed plus some lovely little extras for our baby when we mentioned we would like a porta cot. Check in and out was easy and the place was nice and warm and had everything we needed. The only thing we found fault in was the shower which didn’t have much pressure and went from hot to cold often but that was no big deal as everything else was excellent. Thanks Alysn & husband, we had a lovely stay.

Beautiful Breakaway
An exquisite property set on the top of a hill in the countryside. The owner was so accommodating and went above and beyond to make our overnight stay special for our family. What an amazing experience, we will definitely be back for a longer stay next time.

Wonderful weekend
A wonderful bach in a superb location! We had a gorgeous Easter weekend break at Kotare House. The cottage is immaculate, very comfortable and has beautiful art. There are so many thoughtful added extras from breakfast items to toiletries. Delightful hosts, great lawn games and lovely, gentle dogs for the children to play with. Tawharanui regional park and beach has enough for days and days of interesting walks, bird spotting and beach play. A very relaxing and nurturing break for all of us.

Location, Style and Attention to detail
Large 2 bedroom apartment on lower level of large private house. Immaculate inside with modern furnishings, great artwork (some by the host) and excellent kitchen with new appliances - stove, fridge etc. Garden and surround amazing - natural 10 acre(?) bush for wonderful walk, and if you're lucky can see a kiwi. Also a 15 min or so walk to small beach and short drive to other beaches near by. Hosts Alysn and Brian ensure all welcome - families and their dogs.....great company for their own two mature but playful border collies! Perfect for a romantic getaway or fun with friends.
