Godwit Cottage - Pākawau Beachfront Holiday Home

Imagine waking up to the sound of crashing waves and heading out to the sun-soaked deck to enjoy a gorgeous, beachfront position. Located in the breathtaking Pākawau, you’ll love calling this retro beauty home for your next summer stay. Welcome to Godwit Cottage!

Enjoy endless ocean views thanks to the large picture windows and French doors. On a balmy summer's day, open these up to let the gentle seaside breeze float through your new abode, while the kids and your four legged furry friends play in the back, grassy lawn with a sun-soaked deck.

Well-restored wooden finishes and touches of rustic flair pay homage to the retro feel of this 1970s bungalow, which is set up for the ideal Kiwi family holiday. Put your feet up in the cosy living area, where a wood-burning fireplace provides a toasty ambience during a winter stay.

When you’re not soaking up the sun, get into the competitive spirit with one of the many board games on hand, sink into a good book, enjoy puzzling or flick on the Smart TV with Freeview. There’s something for everyone here!

Godwit Cottage sleeps up to nine guests comfortably across three generous bedrooms and a sleepout, with a bathroom and full laundry facilities completing the set-up for your stay.

The property is a good size bach located right by the beach. It had everything we needed and enough space that we didn't feel cramped when it rained all day!
