Hosts on the Coast Cosy on Cooks

Cosy on Cooks is the quintessential Kiwi getaway — relaxed, retro and full of old-school holiday charm. Located just below the main house and only a 5-minute walk to the sandy shores of Cooks Beach, it’s the perfect spot to slow down, switch off and soak up the simple pleasures of summer.
The unit sleeps up to 6 guests. The main bedroom has a queen bed with direct access to the patio, while the second bedroom features four single beds — ideal for kids, cousins or friends. The bathroom includes a shower over a small bath, and a washing machine and washing line make longer stays effortless.
The living space is bright and cosy with comfortable seating, a TV and air-conditioning to keep you comfortable year-round. The kitchen and dining area seat six and are well-equipped with everything you need, including a fridge-freezer plus an additional freezer — perfect for extra food, ice or the day's catch.
Step through from the lounge to the covered patio, complete with BBQ and outdoor dining for easy alfresco evenings. The lawn at the front of the house is shared with the owners upstairs, but there's still plenty of space for car and boat parking, with the boat ramp just a 5-minute drive away.
If you’re not cooking, stroll out for local bites or grab classic fish and chips and enjoy them by the sea — it doesn’t get much more Kiwi than that.
There is no WiFi, but with beaches, walks, fishing, swimming and exploring at your doorstep, you won’t even miss it.
