Kia Ora — "Welcome"

Thelma's Rose Cottage is a self-contained one-bedroom holiday home located in Golden Bay at the top of the South Island of New Zealand near Farewell Spit.

The cottage is on a section that straddles a small spit with the Pakawau Inlet on one side and the sea on the other. The cottage has a roof-top deck with expansive views of the inlet and the surrounding bush-clad hills. One minute across the section and you are at the sandy beach on which you can walk for miles.

Watch the sun rise out of the ocean while sitting at our picnic table on the sea front. View the colours of the sunset in the inlet from your own private deck.

The cottage was built in 2005 and combines a simple, cottage design with modern flair. Huge windows and ranchsliders allow in all day sun to create an indoor/outdoor feeling.

The cottage is furnished exquisitely with old-world antiques. Sleep in an ornate bed that was hand-crafted in France in the 1700's.

Thelma's Rose Cottage is the perfect hideaway where you can relax and feel your privacy is assured behind a tiled wall and gate.

Explore with the complimentary bicycles and kayaks or just relax in our spa pool in your private garden.
