Pet-friendly
Red Rock Cottage is a brand new luxury oasis. Personally crafted with simplicity and style in mind, the cottage provides you with a place to rest, be still, and be at peace. Lie in bed and listen to the sounds of the ocean, or gaze out your window at the sea, the birds, and the ever changing landscape. The cottage holds everything you need, with modern, luxurious design everywhere you look. For those who love adventure; kayak, paddleboard, fish or lie in the sun, explore the bay and enjoy the small village of Clarks beach.

Red Rock Cottage essentials
Red Rock Cottage is just 40-minutes from Auckland New Zealand, a peaceful drive from the city, with half of this drive through beautiful New Zealand countryside. The cottage is a 2-bedroom oasis with an open plan lounge and kitchen area, framed by a wall of windows that fold back to welcome the ocean into your lounge. The cottage has luxurious fittings throughout, from the SMEG appliances to the hand designed New Zealand furniture and crafted wall art. WIFI, a smart television, kayaks, paddleboards, and opportunities to fish on our exciting Manukau harbor cater to all. Our local village of Clarks beach can provide restaurant dining, café and local shopping, or holiday essentials such as massage or golf at our local Top10 New Zealand golf course. The village and community are filled with friendly locals, birds and passing wildlife, such as seals and Orca over the summer season.

Clarks beach is tidal, and the landscape constantly changes. The tide changes in depth, sometimes it is deep and expansive, other times smaller and light. Children and dogs love to run free out over the sand out to the horizon when the ocean rolls away...

Pet friendly - house trained pets are absolutely welcome, please just advise us prior to booking.

The cottage has everything you need and Megan and Craig were both very welcoming. The view is unbeatable when the tide is in and having access to the kayaks was a great addition. We had a lovely stay and would happily stay again.

What a little haven Red Rock Cottage is, and the hosts are some of the most hospitable people you’ll have the pleasure of meeting/interacting with! I enjoyed fish and chips from just up the road while... overlooking the water, and our dog enjoyed watching people walking down on the beach and getting hellos and pats. The perfect summer escape but also cosy for winter too - and so close to Auckland yet so far away :-)

We absolutely love the beauty and wildness of Clarks beach. We moved here and built the cottage to create an oasis of peace and tranquility. We are both passionate about the outdoors, and life on and by the ocean. Happy to chat any answer any questions any time. Megan & Craig 🤗

Black Sand Beaches

You can't go wrong with an excursion to the wild west coast black sand beaches of Auckland, which seem to stretch on forever and disappear into the sea mist beyond. Even better - catch the sunset from them and watch it reflect in the giant watery mirrors.
