Located in a private area separate to the very popular camp ground. The boutique Simpson's Cowshed at Wharekhao (Simpson's Beach) in Whitianaga is the perfect stay for a group of friends or a family. The Cowshed consists partially of my fathers old cowshed.....hence the name. It is situated in a fully fenced garden. The beach, which is very safe for children, is a short walk across a paddock. We are a 7km drive from Whitianga township where the shopping is good and cafes, bars and restaurants are plentiful. I am an onsite host as I live next door to The Cowshed but both properties are very seperate and private. With everything from fresh linen to the outdoor fish cleaning facilities provided you are sure to have an amazing time on the Coromandle Pennisular. The great outdoors is at your fingertips! Plenty of space for cars, campers and boats! And easy access to the beach.
I have been hosting guests for over 2 years now with a 4.97 stars review rating. I'm not too far away so happy to stay in touch via phone or in person if needed to assist with anything to make your stay more comfortable.
Simpson's Beach is very laid back and relaxed. Only a couple of kilometres to the town centre for restaurants, bars and shopping if desired. When arriving feel free to park directly in front of the private access via 'The Cowshed' gate as pictured.
