Property info

Just a short stroll down the drive from the golden sands of Ligar Bay, Penguin Cottage is the perfect base for a relaxed Golden Bay getaway. This classic Kiwi bach offers 3 comfortable bedrooms and everything you need for a simple, stress-free stay. It’s ideal for families, the beach is just moments away with a safe, shallow inlet, wide low tide for exploring, and swings for the kids under the pohutukawa trees. Whether you’re spending lazy days at the beach, exploring nearby Tata and Wainui, or enjoying a BBQ on the deck as the sun sets, this is holiday living the way it used to be; laid-back, local, and full of charm.

Neighborhood info

Nestled between Tata Beach and Pohara, Ligar Bay is one of Golden Bay’s most peaceful and family-friendly spots. With its wide, safe swimming beach, golden sand, and calm inlet perfect for kayaking or paddle-boarding, it’s a favourite for locals and visitors alike. The area has a true Kiwi bach vibe — relaxed, sunny, and surrounded by nature — while being only a short drive from Takaka’s cafés, galleries, and shops.
