About this Holiday House

Superbly located on Harpoon Hill, Whangaparapara and 15 min from Claris Village and Airport, the Whaler’s Cottage is a unique property in a magical setting. Hidden down a long driveway and surrounded by native bush, you will be greeted by a chorus of native bird life and views of the harbour. The cottage can also be accessed via a rugged track from Whangaparapara Wharf. A short walk leads you up to the house.
