Moana Cove Lodge - cottage unit Kereru Cottage

Kereru Cottage at Moana Cove, Kawau Island is a fully self-contained cottage. It has a separate bedroom with twin beds, and a double bed in the open plan lounge, dining, kitchen area. The lounge opens onto a deck with amazing views of Moana Cove and North Cove.
Our jetty is very tidal so you need to arrive and depart within 2 hours of high tide times. You are surrounded at the back by native bush, and there are always native birds flying and wandering around in our space. The eagle rays basking in our tidal cove are spectacular as well.
This is a spectacular spot to base yourself for a fishing or diving trip as you can use our jetty to tie up your own boat while you are here. We are also accessible via Kawau Cruises shuttle and taxi services - please enquire with them directly.

This is a beautiful location on a secluded cove with friendly, attentive hosts. The cottage is well equipped with an outdoor grill and full kitchen and there are Kayaks available. This would be a good location for kids and an excellent location if you are a boat owner on holiday.

A magical Christmas break!

We spent 7 nights at Moana Cove and felt like we had been transported to a far away island, except it was just a hop, skip and a jump away! We loved walking through the bush to beaches, kayaking through the mangroves, walking through Mansion House, visiting the boat club for a meal is a must! And lazy sunny afternoons reading and watching the tide go in and out. Sharon and Rob were great hosts, giving us privacy but always incredibly helpful if we needed anything. Hope to be back!
