Kotare Ridge is a new studio apartment at the north end with lovely views over the ocean and next to a scenic reserve. The beach and surf club are a few minutes walk away, as are numerous bush walks and the tennis courts. The apartment is light and spacious with a kitchenette, and private patio with table and chairs. There are many cafes and restaurants within walking distance or a five minute drive. Kotare Ridge is on a quiet road, but the sound of the waves is a constant reminder that you are only 300 metres from the coast. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets can be seen from the apartment, across the ocean. There is a frig and microwave in the apartment, as well as an electric jug, toaster, crockery and cutlery. Bath and beach towels, and a hair dryer are provided. The bed is a king size but can be two singles.

Guest access Guests have their own access to the apartment, and an outside patio for their own use. Interaction with guests We are happy to offer any assistance guests may require. We are familiar with the walks in the area, either along the coast or the many bush walks in the vicinity.
