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.

The cottage is 2 min away from Whangaparapara Harbour and estuary. Great for paddle boarding, fishing off the wharf or rock hunting. Kaitoke Hot springs Walk is a 10 min drive to the car park and a easy flat 1/2 hour walk. Track to waterfall takes 1/2 hour from Whangaparapara Road on the waterfront. Entrance is near the fire sign and through the farm gate. We also have a resident Morepork at the house. His name is Owl Pacino and he loves it if you leave the outdoor light on for him so he can hunt. He’s not shy and loves his picture being taken :)
