Oakura beach is a stunning and laid back beach village for a relaxing family holiday, located ten minutes drive to New Plymouth on NZ's West Coast, Surf Highway 45. Enjoy wonderful boutique shops, great cafes and restaurants.

Chester Cottage is an original kiwi bach, older in style and original in decor, however the location is the key here, as it is situated in an extremely sought after waterfront position. No frills, but cost effective accommodation for its position in Oakura. The perfect escape from the busy hustle and bustle of everyday life. Offering direct beach access (slightly over growth for privacy from public beach) is rare and situated amongst multi million dollar homes.

Open the door and be greeted by a chilled beach vibe and soak up the ocean and beach views from almost every room in the cottage.

Fully equipped kitchen (no dishwasher) and open plan living, and little nooks creates a certain warmth. Large private and sheltered deck with ocean views. Your senses will immediately be evoked by sea spray and all your cares and troubles will fade away. This bach is still used by the owners so does have some personal items in it, so guests need to be aware of that.

The entire second floor is a master suite with a king bed and bathroom, walk-in wardrobe and a nook where you can sit quietly and soak up the sea views. Two additional bedrooms on the main level consist of a bedroom with a queen bed where to can slide back the door and step out onto the deck; a constant reminder of your waterfront position, and a twin bedroom with two single beds.

Spend your days swimming, surfing, windsurfing or just wandering along the beach all day long.
