Beach Cottage Collingwood
Beach End is a peaceful sunny beach front holiday cottage privately set amongst native bush with beautiful sea views and plenty of bird life. Beach End is a ten minute walk to Collingwood village with cafes, a pub, and Farewell Spit Safari Tours. It is a real bach. The kitchen and lounge are open plan with french doors opening out to a deck and private garden. There is an outside dining table on the deck a stones throw from the sea. There are curtains separating the double bedroom from the lounge and the second bedroom has a loft bed and two single beds. The bathroom has a shower and toilet and sink. There is a very warm cozy fire for winter evenings.
Beach End has a wild, untamed garden and a lovely deck for resting on. It is located a short walk from Collingwood township with cafes and a pub and supermarket. It is a ten minute drive to the famous cafe/pub The Mussel Inn where there is locally brewed beer and live music. It is a half hour from Takaka where there is a movie theatre, medical centre, library, market, local produce, and art galleries and shops.
The beach is tidal and at low tide you can collect cockles in the channels. You can walk along the beach towards Milnthorpe Park and explore the trails there or walk to Collingwood and have a coffee and breakfast at the Courthouse Cafe, fish and chips or an evening meal or pizza. There are kayaks to rent in Collingwood. The Safari Tour leaves from Collingwood for tours of Farewell Spit and the Gannet Colony. Walk to the historic cemetery or drive up the valley and have tea and scones at the Historic Langford Store and walk amongst old gold relics along the way.
The best thing to do at Beach End is to open the french doors and sit and watch the tide come in slowly over the sand flats, watch the moon rise out of the sea, or see the sunrise. Special conditions: The deck has a seat railing and is not suitable for very young children. There is a short 50m. walk down the road to an easy pathway to the beach. The car park is down a short path. The bach is most suitable for couples and families. The third bed in the children's bedroom is up a loft ladder and may not suit some people.
Sheets provided are clean and fresh, but not ironed.
Strictly no dogs.
Please leave the house clean as you found it. If you prefer not to then let the owner know and you can arrange to have cleaning done for a fee.

Lovely vintage bach in awesome bush surroundings with amazing sea and beach views. We really enjoyed our 2 night stay and would consider a return visit. Owner great to deal with.
Great views out over the bay with the tide coming and going. The house is well positioned to take advantage of the view, but very private. Relaxed setting, and with lots of character, it was easy to feel at home.
What a delightful spot, with uninterrupted views of the beach, and total privacy. Tia was a delightful host. The cottage is basic, but it's all you need.
Great location right on the beachfront in Collingwood.
The house was exactly as shown in the listing.
Excellent, friendly communication and clear instructions from the owner who responded quickly to any queries.
Would love to return in the future.

The Bach is located in a beautiful part of Golden bay and watching the sunrise over the sea each morning was the highlight!
Will definitely be visiting again.
A lovely place to just chill out and relax! Easy and quick communication with Tia - all round, just a fantastic spot to wind down. Tucked into bush, with no neighbours (that you can see or hear anyway) and nothing but beach and sea in front of you. Glorious- we'll be back next year!
We’ve stayed at this Bach a few times now, and each time we have a great time regardless of the weather. Tia is always great and accommodating and quick to get back with an answer to any questions.

Loved the location seclusion and quaint character. Helpful instructions from host
This is a lovely bach, right on the beach yet totally private. Has everything you would want, including a great selection of books. Owner was wonderful to deal with and promptly answered our questions. Can't wait for our next visit.
A great place to unwind for a few days, and explore the wider area. Very private and wonderful views over the bay both at low and high tide. Great beach for walking
Bach has most things you would want, but no TV or Microwave.
We had a great time, and would love to return one day
Great location , right on the beach and very private as Bach is surrounded by Bush. This is a Bach as described and suited us perfectly. Lots of outdoor activities around to explore of just sit on the deck or indoors and watch the view. Gorgeous Sunrise's ! Would definitely stay here again, thanks Tia
Just right for us to look out on the beach from the deck, go in for a swim, walk the beach, watch the birds, wander in to Collingwood, and explore beautiful Golden Bay. Very private.
