It is a self-catering 2 bedroom/3 bathroom luxury beach cottage for one or two couples.

The cottage is surrounded by flowering gardens and outside decking with stunning coastal views.

The full kitchen has all the major appliances you’ll need for quick breakfasts or a special sit-down meal: oven, range, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator.

You’ll find plates, glasses, silverware, and more for setting the Rimu wood dining table. You’ll be able to do as much or as little in the kitchen as you’d like while on vacation.

What a treat Wavewatchers is – absolutely gorgeous

We recently had the good luck to stay at this retreat.  What a treat it is.  Absolutely gorgeous 2 bedroom/3 bathroom cottage which is fully self contained.  Fantastic ambiance with a surprise fireplace.  Great comfy beds etc.  Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms, spotlessly clean.  Can’t wait to return.

Well done Wavewatchers.

We will return, a fantastic place to stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at Wave Watchers Retreat. The cottage had everything we needed. And after being on a road trip, the added bonus of a washing machine. There are two ensuite rooms, but off the laundry, another toilet and shower. Very well appointed and some very lovely touches, including the bottle of wine left to watch our first sunset with. The sun dropping in to the ocean is something very special to see and photograph. We loved how close the sea was, going off to sleep with the sound of the waves, and in fact, our first night home, in our own bed, we missed the sound of the waves!!. We will return, a fantastic place to stay.
