Shelduck Cottage

Stay in Shelduck Cottage and take in stunning million-dollar views across the Hauraki Gulf’s beautiful islands, stretching south toward the sparkling skyline of Auckland City. 

The holiday park stretches out below, while behind the cabin, sheep graze peacefully on rolling rural pastures.  In summer, with the Pohutukawa in full bloom, this is the quintessential New Zealand holiday spot. 

The cottage is fully self-contained, featuring a small kitchen and a private ensuite bathroom off the bedroom. 

Linen, towels, crockery, and cooking utensils are all provided – just bring your clothes and food.  When you’re not soaking up the magnificent views, you can relax with the TV and enjoy a range of channels on Freeview. 

This charming cottage is perfect for a romantic getaway for two.  It also comfortably accommodates up to two additional guests on a double sofa bed, making it ideal for families with 1 – 2 children.  One on-site parking space is included. 

Bedding configuration
1 double bed plus a pull-out double sofa bed in the lounge. 

We stayed 7 days in the Dotterel Caravan and Awning - With our two grandsons aged 10 and 7 - The caravan was very retro and was well equipped for what we needed - to lie there at night and hear the waves so close, It was magic looking out of the window to see all along the beach. I had to pinch myself. The caravan was a little dated but who cares when you ore literally 10 steps to the safe swimming beach - The awning had two beds for the boys that were really comfortable, we set up a fold out table inside - the deck was well used good wooden picnic table - To sit outside as the sun went down was beautiful - we were also lucky to have beautiful weather - The staff are amazing and so helpful - the cook house and toilets were really nice and clean. So much to do lovely walks - the boys loved riding the 3 wheelers. We couldn't get the Dotterel for next year - But we are booked in the Kereru also right on the beach - Shopping centre was great at Snells Beach for the your supplies and The Warehouse - also some great bakeries. and Takeaways -only10mins drive - I hope we can make this an annual holiday - Will bring a small barbecue next time..

Fantastic family time. The camping sites were big and spacious. Great safe swimming beach for children and clean facilities. Great hospitality from the staff. We were camping off peak and asked if we wanted some more time to pack up. We will definitely go again.
