Birdsong & bananas

In the heart of Kohukohu's heritage precinct, on the grounds of the historic Pink Villa,
Floyd Cottage is designed with your relaxation in mind. Offering a superior Queen bed and dreamy ensuite with rain shower. Open plan living and dining area flow into a compact & functional kitchen. Ranchsliders open onto a north facing private afternoon sundeck and garden. A wrap around verandah provides shade. 2 outdoor armchairs are yours to place under any tree or spot in the wider garden.
A short stroll will take you to the harbour's edge - turn left for the takeaways, art gallery, pub & cafe , post office, op shop, library and general store. Turn right and walk along the waterfront to the southern edge of town and up and back along historic Yarborough Street with it's old villas & churches and rambling gardens.
A boat ramp if you fancy fishing. Bring your kayaks for an awesome paddle out on the harbour. Book an outing on the Ranui, an historic Kauri excursion boat and visit Horeke and Rawene.
Or catch the ferry and explore Rawene with it's quirky galleries, shops & cafes.
Drive out to Mitimiti and enjoy the rockpools at low tide and the beauty of this rugged West Coast beach.
There are plenty of things to do !
If this all sounds too hectic, no worries, our chaise sofa and wing-back are ideal companions to a good book or siesta.

Wi-fi - You are welcome to use Pink Villa wi-fi or a two minute walk away, on the bench outside the library and browse courtesy of the free wi-fi.
