Sunny and homely, this two-bedroom holiday home and sleepout makes for the ideal classic summer getaway – Welcome to Cooks Crib! Comfortable and charming, the two bedrooms in the house have a queen bed in the first room, and a king and a single in the second. The sleepout has two bedrooms and a walk through bedroom with queen beds in each space. The home has everything you need to forget all your worries and stresses, slip on the flip-flops, and enjoy a BBQ accompanied by a nice glass of wine. This quintessential kiwi Bach is spacious enough for a family or group of friends, with an amazing indoor-outdoor flow that creates a relaxing summer atmosphere.

From boat parking for a large boat to the large front lawn perfect for the kids to play on, everything you need for a relaxing, classic kiwi summer is here.
Cooks Crib is situated on a large flat site just off the main road with plenty of room for the kids to run around or pitch a tent. Two bedrooms will comfortably accommodate up to five guests here at Cooks Crib, while in the sleepout with the extra beds makes it 11, we do suggest though that as there is only 1 toilet that we limit the number to 6 adults & 5 children which is still perfect for a family group. The family bathroom is in the main house where there is also a laundry with washing machine and efficient heat pump technology completing this ideal set-up. When everyone gets home off the beach, the onsite outdoor shower is just what you need to rinse off any sand that made its way home with you. Head down to the sandy shores of Cooks Beach and take a dip to cool off from the hot sun – you’ll be only a three-minute walk to the beach or two minutes to the shops. Head into town just a 2-minute drive up the road and try out the local eateries or take a drive up to Hahei just a 13-minute drive away, known for its stunning, often deserted beache
