Escape to a beautiful coastal cottage!

Downtime Cottage is a cozy, fresh and newly renovated holiday home located on the stunning Tutukaka coast. Ideally situated, just 3-minutes’ drive from Tutukaka marina and 3-minutes to Matapouri beach.

Couples, families or friends looking to relax in a peaceful location with gorgeous rural and sea views, should look no further. Secluded and private with all-day sun, swing in the hammocks after a day at the beach, diving at the world-famous Poor Knights Islands or deep-sea fishing!

Downtime Cottage comfortably sleeps 5-people in two separate rooms, with quality linens throughout.

COTTAGE:
The main cottage includes a bedroom with double bed and built-in closet, open-plan living area with kitchenette facilities, comprising a large fridge/freezer, microwave, mini plug-in oven, double hot-plate, toaster, kettle and all necessarily utensils.

Toilet room, bathroom (shower) and laundry room with washing machine.

A window breakfast bar and dining table offer views of the open lawns with rolling hills and the sea beyond complement this lovely cottage.

SLEEP-OUT:
Adjoining the cottage a few steps across the wide deck is the recently renovated Sleep-Out. This room includes a Double & Single bed, bathroom with shower, a small bar-fridge and Tea & Coffee making station.

Indulge in this breathtaking setting by taking a seat out on the deck, where you can enjoy a refreshing drink or some alfresco dining with sublime scenery to make it even more special. Or simply while-away the day and relax in hammocks looking out to Cape Bret in the distance.

Note: Under Kiwi Bach tradition you are expected to clean the house and do the dishes before you leave.

Wonderful stay!
My daughters and I had a fantastic stay here! The cottage is gorgeous and everything clean and well organised. The sleepout was great and had a ceiling fan to keep it cool. Great location on a hill between matapouri and tutukaka.
