A Matakana icon, the White Cottage was one of the first residences to grace the landscape, dating back to 1883. It embodies the heritage and heart of this much-loved region — but with a thoroughly modern touch. Built by the Lovelock family from native kauri sourced nearby, the elegantly chic home was lovingly refurbished in mid-2018 and represents a unique opportunity for guests to stay right in the heart of New Zealand’s ‘slow living’ capital.
