Why they chose this property
A family bach, IkaRua Cottage is the perfect wee getaway for relaxing with a book lazing on the deck or having a romantic getaway.
Fish of the adjacent jetty for a kahawhai, sprat or kingfish or head out on the kayaks for a little adventure in the harbour.

What makes this property unique
IkaRua Cottage is a wonderful place to getaway from the hustle and bustle of urban life. A 1960's retro cottage you really can just step back in time to a much simpler and relaxed pace of life. Dine at the table while looking out upon the harbour and beauty that surrounds or bring your boat and take advantage of its wonderful proximity to the boat ramp. It really is a special place full of character.
