This is a recently-built home with well-equipped kitchen, laundry, and tiled bathroom. The master bedroom features a comfortable queen bed, and is a peaceful space to unwind after a day of exploring or simply soaking up the views.

Guests are welcome to slow-charge their EV or hybrid vehicle using the external power socket beside the stairs. An extension cable is provided.

Please note: access between the living area and ensuite/bedroom is via a covered deck. This design choice embraces the relaxed, indoor-outdoor vibe of Kiwi bach living and maximises space in the living area.

---
UPDATE (June 2025): we’ve recently enclosed this deck to create a private, sheltered hallway. This upgrade adds both privacy and weather protection, while adjustable louvres let you enjoy fresh air and natural light whenever you like.

Please note the property runs on a rainwater tank and in-ground septic system, so we kindly ask guests to be mindful of water use.

If you wish to book, please send a brief message with your general plans and who you’re travelling with. We’ll respond ASAP, but having this info will guarantee a faster booking.

Check-in is flexible anytime after 3 pm. If you’d like to arrive earlier, please let us know in your message.

Blissful Position

We had a wonderful 5 day stay at Kouto Cove. The accommodation was spotless, with a comfortable bed and very well equipped kitchen. It's an idyllic position in an area we know quite well. Omapere, Opononi and Rawene are all within striking distance by car.....the Maori centre, telling the story of Kupe (Opononi), is definitely worth a visit. We will definitely stay here again.
