About this property

Cape South Cottage - delightful country cottage with Pacific ocean views

International award-winning character country cottage boasting stunning views of the Waipuka hills and Pacific Ocean. Built in French colonial style, with generous verandahs, extensive gardens, en-suite bathrooms, underfloor heating, BBQ, and a wood burner – perfect for a weekend stay

Set in 16 acres of beautiful grounds, you can enjoy views across our herb gardens, generous lawns and the neighbouring farmland to the rising sun across the ocean. Listen the songs of korimako, riroriro, tui, thrush and the rolling surf while relaxing on our generous verandahs, swimming in our magnesium pool, bathing outside in the hot-tub, treating yourself to an infra-red sauna or making use of the gym. Underfloor heating, and the wood-fire make our cottage cosy in the short-winters, or open the doors and let the outside in from your own private garden.

A double bedroom with en-suite bathroom (and bath) is perfect for a couple, and the twin-room (with it's own bathroom) works really well for the kids or friends. These beds can be joined to make a super-king bed as well.

There is a separate 6 bedroom homestead beside the cottage, and if this is rented during your stay the facilities will be shared.

There is also a yoga studio on site, which can be made available at an addition cost.

About the host

Hosted by Cam McLeay

Host profile image
Kate and Cam moved into Cape South early in 2020 primarily to offer yoga and wellness retreats at the property. They continue to run these retreats at the property, but also make it available for rental. They feel a deep connection to this property & love to share it with others.

Why they chose this property

Cape South sits quietly amidst the rural Waipuka hills. The roar of the surf, birdcalls from korimako, riroriro, tui and magpie are our usual chorus, and we seldom hear vehicles. There are 16-acres of manicured gardens, herb gardens, vege gardens, and steep wild eucalyptus plantations to explore. The beautiful magnesium-salt swimming pool, hot tub, infra-red sauna, gym and fully-equipped yoga studio add immense value to anyone's stay. There is always something for our guests to explore. Most guests arrive with ideas of making excursions to nearby attractions, but many arrive and don't want to return to their cars until they leave.

What makes this property unique

The location is perfect, being 10 minutes from fabulous beaches, with lovely walks nearby but also being just 15 minutes from the buzz of Havelock North village. There are wineries & restaurants to enjoy, as well as plenty of space to just relax & enjoy the property.
