This holiday home has 2 bedrooms, a kitchenette with an oven and a toaster, a flat-screen TV, a seating area and 1 bathroom fitted with a shower. Guests can take in the views of the sea from the terrace, which also has outdoor furniture. The accommodation offers a fireplace.

The cottage lives up to its name. It is on the top floor, and from the living room and one of the bedroom, the view is stunning. Surrounded by trees, we enjoyed the sounds of native birds (tūī, pīwakawaka, kereru, kākā...). The full kitchen has all you need to cook a good feed. Glinis was very friendly and had advice for us for our stay on the island. If we ever go back to NZ, and can get to Aotea, we will definitely book this cottage again!

Featuring barbecue facilities, a garden, and a terrace, Whalers Cottage provides accommodation in Whangaparapara with free WiFi and sea views. Guests staying at this holiday home have access to a balcony.

Whalers' cottage is in a lovely spot with superb views from the terrace and the upstairs bedrooms over the nearby inlet. It is in very good proximity of the start to the Aotea track. Unfortunately, the third and last day of the track was exceptionally wet and we arrived back at the cottage soaking wet. We soon forgot our wet journey once we were back at the cozy and warm cottage and had dried ourselves. It is a great place to relax and hang out with some friends. It is comfortable and fitted out with everything one needs for the stay.

Looking for a vacation home?

Great for families or large parties, vacation homes are privately owned accommodations, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities, though breakfast might be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different than apartments.
