Bungalow in Paradise - Tahi

Mara cottage is part of the 256ha Tahi ecological sanctuary, including restored wetlands, lakes and forests. You will have the choice of walking one of the many tracks, swimming from the beautiful white sand surf beach or fishing and kayaking in the estuary. Surfing lessons and standup paddle boards are available locally, along with horse trekking through the property or along the beach.

Encompassing a rich variety of habitats, Tahi is a haven for walkers, birdwatchers and the conservation minded. Dune vegetation on the surf beach gives way to diverse broadleaf forest on the hills further inland, lakes provide habitat for mullet and rare long-finned eels while mangroves and saltmarshes are home to kingfishers, rare fernbirds and banded rails. Tahi is also proud to host a number of endangered bird species including Kiwi, Brown Teal, Bittern and Dotterell.

The on-site Tahi Cafe offers a blackboard menu of delicious breakfast and lunch dishes, great coffee and Kohu Road icecreams. Open 27th December to February - 7 days a week.

Total peace and tranquility.

We loved the luxurious accommodation set in a tranquil location with Mother Nature right on your doorstep! The walk to the Boardwalk with my elderly mum was the highlight of her weekend. A little unsure with her footing we took it steady with plenty of stops for a breather. We had a rest on seats in the "hideaway" to watch the ducks, swans and numerous birds on the lake and a slow leisurely walk back along the driveway. It was purely magical and so quiet. We were feeling refreshed in mind and body and ready for a cup of tea when we got back to the house. A perfect house for a family get together with a few walks and bike tracks. Loved every minute, so we will definitely be back. Thank you to Lesley for having the lights on for our late arrival, the house was warm and cosy. Very highly recommended.

Gorgeous and spacious house our family enjoyed spending Christmas at.

Easy and fast communication and details on getting to Tahi and all the site instructions provided. Lesley was so welcoming and helpful for questions we had upon arrival and during our stay.
