Kuaotunu accommodation

Rawhiti Cottage is a sunny, self-contained two-bedroom retreat set in a private garden overlooking olive groves, bush, and the sea. Perched above Kuaotunu Beach and adjacent to the Matarangi Reserve, this peaceful and eco-friendly accommodation offers a truly restorative escape surrounded by nature.
Wake to birdsong and stunning views stretching over bush, beach, and bay. Both bedrooms are bright, comfortable, and feature their own bathrooms—ideal for couples, families, or friends travelling together. A well-equipped kitchenette and BBQ on the deck offer the option to self-cater, while popular local spots like Luke’s Kitchen and Kua Kafe are nearby for delicious meals.
Step outside and you’ll find yourself immersed in nature. A beautiful 3-hour bush walk begins at your doorstep, taking you through native forest, a rare wetland, and a grove of young kauri trees. The area is rich with native birdlife, and friendly farm animals add to the charm of this tranquil setting.
At night, the lack of light pollution makes for exceptional stargazing—a magical way to end the day.
Just minutes from pristine Coromandel beaches like New Chum and Otama, and a short drive to nearby attractions, Rawhiti Cottage is the perfect base for exploring the region—or simply staying put and soaking up the peace.
Children welcome. Pet friendly. Come and unwind in a place where nature is your nearest neighbour.

Situated just a short walk from Kuaotunu village and across the road to the beach, Taigh Na Mara is the Gaelic translation for House by the Sea. Visitors from NZ and around the world are invited to come and share this little piece of paradise on the Coromandel with your host, Carol.

Kuaotunu is one of the hidden gems of the Coromandel and is a great place for relaxing, swimming, beach and bush walks, fishing, kayaking, and enjoying the beautiful white sand beaches in the area.
