Rosie's cottage in Stanmore Bay , a short walk to beach with a great seaview.
Would you like a holiday by the beach with a lovely Seaview? This is such a cute cottage, a short three minute walk to sandy Stanmore Bay beach. Enjoy the beach this summer, white sand & lovely clear water at Stanmore Bay. Comfortable bed with luxury cotton sheets & pillows for your best sleep ever. Couches to relax in and chairs on the veranda to take in the view & enjoy a cuppa or glass of wine. Nikau Palms & native bush surround the cottage which is set back from the road so it nice & quiet. Cafeâs, restaurants and shops are close by in Orewa. It's a great stop off on your way north leading to Matakana and the Bay of Islands. Stanmore Bay beach is a long beach so if you are wanting to get yours steps up walk the length of it to do 5000 steps. You will enjoy the family friendly hosts who live close by if you should need anything.
Nice little cottage with charme, lovely decorated and well equipped. It had everything we needed. Short walk to a nice quiet beach, but way back is steep. We felt at home and loved the little treats like fresh flowers.
Gay and Jon were lovely!We stayed for six weeks the cottage was so cute with everything you need and a pleasant veranda!Itâs very peaceful, short walk to a great quiet beach and you can walk to the shopping area but I would recommend a car as you really need one.We loved it!!
A very peaceful place, with all the mod cons we needed, while keeping its comfortable bach character with a shabby chic feel. Great location, an easy walk to the excellent swimming beach (with a steep climb back for a cardio workout!) and short drive to local shops and cafes.
We really enjoyed our stay in Rosieâs cottage. The cottage is very comfortable and very pleasant. It was nice to have a short walk on the nearby beach each morning. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. I would highly recommend staying here.
Nice base for our busy stay. Lovely presentation and comfortable. Access is a bit steep from the parking spot but you can temporarily park down the drive to unload.
We stayed here for 3 nights around a family gathering. Would have loved to have spent more time at the cottage itself as it was a comfortable and pleasing space. The place was very clean and the bed comfortable. Recommended.
Had a superb time - Rosies was all we could ask for. Lovely welcome gifts and nothing was too much trouble for Gay. The covered part of the verandah was ideal for early morning yoga. Superb views. Will definitely stay again when visiting family. Cannot recommend highly enough
A lovely place to stay and visit family in the area. The cottage has been restored beautifully in a way which respects its history. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed the view from the balcony, and the surrounding garden space with ever present birds. Thanks Gay.
My wife and I stayed at Rosie's cottage for the last week of our five weeks in New Zealand. What a perfect finale to a lovely trip! The cottage was great for the two of us. Cozy, fun and well-equipped. Stanmore Beach is great and only a short walk away. But it was mostly the hospitality which Gay and Jon provided us which made our stay so special. For us it was like visiting old friends we had just met. If we get back to New Zealand we will make every effort to return to Rosie's Cottage.
Our stay at this lovely little cottage was the icing on the cake for our wonderful long weekend away! We thoroughly enjoyed the layout and style of this lovely space that had clearly been created with love and care by the hosts. The cottage has kept its history and charm and is surrounded by a cute and cosy garden which makes it feel surprisingly peaceful and private. We had everything provided to us that we could possibly need - and more - including lovely fresh flowers and some treats. Personally I felt that staying here was our special little treat. Thank you!!!!
We had a fantastic stay here for a week. Everything we needed. The bed was so comfortable, I could have been on my own bed. Lovely sitting on the deck, catching the sun and breeze looking at the beautiful ever changing view. A twenty minute walk to New world and coffee. Cooking facilities, washing machine. All new and easy to use. We will definitely be staying here when we are back in the area. Stanmore bay is a treat at any time.
Thank you Gay and Jon, you are the perfect hosts.

We are a kiwi couple who love doing up houses, we enjoy art & retro styling. We have created a gorgeous garden for you to enjoy surrounding the cottage. We have a great family living close by & enjoy the beach lifestyle of living in Stanmore Bay. We enjoy walking and swimming at our beach about 3 minutes walk away. Hosting is fun and we like to meet people from other countries and hear a little about themselves.
The beach is so close by about 3 minutes walk away & it is a white sandy beach with a few waves & clear water. We have sea views & are off the main roads so it is quiet and relaxing. Orewa is close by with all the cafes & restaurants. There are 8 beaches on the Hibiscus Coast so lots of exploring for beach lovers to do.
Rosie's cottage is gorgeous, being a refurbished 1950's cottage it is a really kiwi charmer rebuilt seven years ago so it warm & inviting. It has all the character of an old beach cottage & everything you need to a comfortable stay. Comfortable bed with lovely cotton linens with lots of pillows for comfort. Veranda with chairs to take in the view & enjoy the bush surrounds. Off street parking & easy access.
