Retro & Rural 🏡 East Coast Getaway | Tolaga Bay
Retro charm meets coasty comfort 🌊 This 3-bedroom getaway is snug for winter with electric blankets, a pumping fireplace and wood stacked and ready. A heat pump is on the way (June/July), so while you'll miss a heat pump for winter - summer’s looking awesome with aircon.
Fenced yard, beach just minutes away, and a simple kitchen with everything you need for a solid feed.
Perfect for whānau catch-ups, solo escapes, or a cruisy East Coast roadie. Come chill, reset, and enjoy Uawa at your pace.

We spent two night's at Larissa's house in Tolaga Bay exploring the area. The hosts were so friendly and really went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and have everything we need. Will definitely recommend this property.
