About this Holiday House

Rock 'n Rata Cottage is on the 7 acre organic property of the historic Rocklands Homestead. The cottage has its own private access and is set against a backdrop of limestone outcrops, nikau palms and mature rata and totara trees. These and the huge pohutukawa and puriri trees behind the homestead attract many tuis, bellbirds and woodpigeons. Rural and sea views across to the hills on the far side of Golden Bay. Very sheltered and private, yet only 3 mins drive to Pohara Beach and 7 mins from Takaka. Property is adjacent to Grove Scenic Reserve, a rock and rata wonderland with a panoramic view of Golden Bay. The perfect base for exploring the Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National Parks. Delightful, spacious, well-equipped cottage, woody and warm (log burner). Bath, shower, laundry, TV and free unlimited Wifi. A wonderful place to stay all year round.

Absolutely delightful cottage, very clean and warm and close to beaches and walks. Susan and John are wonderful hosts. We are really looking forward to staying again in the future.
Steve Dann
Fantastic accommodation, loved the fact it's walking distance to the Grove. Highly recommend, host's friendly and respectful. Private accommodation with separate access way.
Nadine Marshall
Rock and Rata Cottage is a delightful oasis of natural calm and sunshine nestled away in a magical part of Golden Bay. It has all you need for a laid back and pleasurable stay. The cosy fire kept us snug at night and the sunshine warmed the Cottage through the day. It was fresh and clean, with comfortable bed, good shower pressure and close to some wonderful walks, beaches and a short drive from Takaka township, with separate access to the Cottage. Susan is a wonderful warm host. We could have stayed much longer and look forward to returning.
