Te Whau Cottage - small scale, big style

A beautifully designed and crafted boutique cottage. A generous piece of land. Endless potential.

Set in a peaceful rural pocket, this bespoke 'not-so tiny' 65sqm (more or less) home brings curated design and calm, grounded living. It feels fresh, modern and inviting, with ample room around you to evolve, expand and create the lifestyle you want.

The home itself reveals a level of workmanship that immediately sets it apart. Built by a respected local company, it offers two bedrooms, a family bathroom and a collection of elevated, charming details that lift everyday living. Engineered oak flooring flows throughout, complemented by warm oak veneer cabinetry, brass fittings and thoughtful finishes. The American Oak kitchen island table and four stools, grounds the space with warmth and intention - a natural hub for slow mornings and shared moments. A wood burner anchors the living area, creating a cosy focal point for cooler evenings, while double-glazed cedar joinery enhances both comfort and character.
Clever additions like the pulldown attic stairs and discreet laundry nook, keep the home streamlined and effortlessly functional.

Bright and airy, this cleverly designed home connects naturally through stacker doors to the covered deck and landscape beyond - open, private and ready for whatever you envision next. The real potential starts here.

The minor dwelling itself gives you an easy, comfortable base while you plan and build your future larger home on the property (subject to council approval) - with concept plans already drawn up and ready to progress. Once complete, it becomes a versatile asset: ideal for guests, extended family or a sought-after income stream in a location known for its coastal appeal.

Practical additions such as the double carport incorporating a matching storage shed add everyday ease, giving you the space you need as you settle in and bring your vision to life.

Located in Snells Beach on the Matakana Coast, with quality schools nearby, and the shops, beach and walking tracks only moments away, you'll enjoy a rural setting without losing access to the essentials, or the weekend adventures.

Your next chapter starts here.
