Oruawharo Cottage is situated adjacent to but separate from the Oruawharo Beach House. With landscaped grounds around both properties you'll find a peaceful and private haven with unbelievable panoramic views.

The walk from the bridge to the cottage takes approx 5 minutes.
All guests are welcome to use the complimentary transfer service between the foot bridge and the cottage when checking in and checking out only.
