most dramatic and beautiful locations, Bethells Beach, located

cottages offer casual comfort and coastal views of the
Tasman Ocean.

- These
secluded havens with their incredible beach views are the
perfect escape. She
Spectacular sunsets and sea views lead nature to your
door. Bethells Beach Cottages provide an exceptional New Zealand accommodation
experience never to be forgotten.
Surrounded
by mountains and the Tasman Sea and sheltered from the wind by
spectacular 200-year-old Pohutukawa trees, our two holiday cottages
are sunny and North facing and set amongst lush gardens.
Trude
was born here and John joined her in 1991.Trude lives by the motto "To
give is to love and to love is to live".
Her warmth and generosity are widely known and reflected in
all the little touches which make a stay at Bethells Beach Cottages
special.
Each
cottage is self-contained and private, with access to a large
brick barbecue for fine weather cooking and entertaining. The vast
front lawn is ideal for games and the gardens are thoughtfully
designed for relaxation.
Bethells
Beach Cottages are a short walk or drive from the beauty
of Bethells Beach (Te Henga). This wild
and rugged coastline offers blissful solitude and striking views
with its black iron sands, maram and pingau grass laden dunes and
the sights and sounds of the pounding surf of the Tasman Ocean
as it hits
the shoreline.
This
is an ideal for spot for surfing, surf casting and/or rock fishing. If
you head in the direction of the beach, don't forget to make time
to explore the caves at night under the magical light of the glow
worms and phosphorescence. Alternatively,
you may choose to pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the relative calm
of Lake Wainamu, a fresh water lake well suited to swimming. You
may decide to discover the expansive black sand dunes along the way,
or go on a bush walk to examine the excellent examples of New Zealand
native flora and fauna. You are also close to vineyards
and some restaurants and cafes.
Due
to most guests' preference for absolute privacy, Trude and John
tend to keep a very low profile; however, as
longtime Bethells Beach/West Auckland locals, they are able to provide
guests with information on local adventures and indulgences, historical
accounts of the area and personal walking tours of beach, valley
and dunes by arrangement.
As
an experienced London cook, who has worked throughout Europe, Trude
can by prior arrangement, provide guests with a range of sumptuous
meals prepared from delicious locally grown and organic produce
for six or more guests. So, while all cottages are fully self
contained with amply equipped kitchens, you are able to leave the
Culinary Extraordinaire to prepare your morning or evening meals
if you so desire!
- A
rejuvenation place – good for the soul.
