This is a recently-built home with well-equipped kitchen, laundry, and tiled bathroom. The master bedroom features a comfortable queen bed, and is a peaceful space to unwind after a day of exploring or simply soaking up the views.

Guests are welcome to slow-charge their EV or hybrid vehicle using the external power socket beside the stairs. An extension cable is provided.

UPDATE (June 2025): we’ve recently enclosed this deck to create a private, sheltered hallway. This upgrade adds both privacy and weather protection, while adjustable louvres let you enjoy fresh air and natural light whenever you like.

Spotless and newly fitted out. Location was amazing on top of the hill overlooking the harbour and heads. Well equipped. So good to have a full kitchen. 3 min drive to oponini. Meals on the deck and drinks in the hot tub. Perfect.

The cozy pod was ideal, we throughly enjoyed our stay. The amenities were fantastic, right down to the brand of soap! We enjoyed watching the rabbits at dawn and dusk from the deck and star gazing at night. Wish we could pack up the pod and take it with us as we travel, it’s wonderful. Thank you for sharing your space.

Blissful Position

We had a wonderful 5 day stay at Kouto Cove. The accommodation was spotless, with a comfortable bed and very well equipped kitchen. It's an idyllic position in an area we know quite well. Omapere, Opononi and Rawene are all within striking distance by car.....the Maori centre, telling the story of Kupe (Opononi), is definitely worth a visit. We will definitely stay here again.
