1 Bedroom Cottage in Waipu
This 30sqm hotel-style studio features seamless indoor–outdoor flow to a sunny deck and lawn bordered by olive trees. Relax in the outdoor lounge beneath blooming pōhutukawa in summer, listen to the tūī, and watch wood pigeons and quail wander the grounds.
Inside, the studio is designed for comfort with a luxurious king bed, a breakfast nook overlooking the gardens and blue horizon, and a fridge/chiller, microwave, cutlery, and essentials.
