About this Holiday House

Escape to your own slice of waterfront paradise. Kereru Cottage offers an authentic Kawau Island experience where the bush meets the sea. Wake up to the song of Kereru and Weka, then enjoy a fresh brew from our manual coffee maker on the deck with uninterrupted cove views. Whether you're fishing off our private tidal jetty, exploring the coastline in the provided kayaks, or BBQing your 'catch of the day' as the sun sets, this is the ultimate spot to reset. The cottage features an open-plan living area with a cozy alcove double bed, a separate twin room, and a full bathroom—perfect for singles, couples, or small families. Access is a breeze via a 30-minute water taxi or ferry from Sandspit Wharf directly to our jetty.

Claire George
A lovely little place to stay for peace and quiet. Hosts really helpful and friendly. Beds comfy with lovely linen. House clean and bright. We did some kayaking and bush walks. Not the best place for swimming, but can walk to other options. Awesome bird life. Highly recommend for a short getaway to slow down.
Dan and Lisa
Amazing setting. Great hosts with awesome knowledge about Kawau made for a stress free stay. Absolute paradise with a very chilled Kiwi batch vibe. Will definitely be back!
Response from Owner
Thanks Dan and Lisa, we'd love to see you back soon as you are wonderful guests - the perfect people to spend time in our little piece of paradise.

Kereru cottage is wonderful. It is bright, clean and comfortable- photos don’t really do it justice. We spent 10 days relaxing, exploring Kawau and neighbouring islands,- fishing, watching the eagle rays, walking, and swimming. Sharon and Rob are so friendly and helpful. The bird life is incredible, surrounded by kaka, kereru and weka, and the call of kiwi at night. It is definitely worth going for more than 4-5 days, time to leave mainland life behind, enjoying the peace and the changing tides. Highly recommended, we would love to return
Response from Owner
