Ringaringa Beach Cottage, comfortable whole house

Very quiet location with a welcome to overseas and New Zealand visitors. Families welcome but parents are asked to remember that although the road has little traffic, the property is not fenced. We have the greatest sea views, plenty of land and pelagic birds to spot with many simple and more challenging walks available, very like New Zealand used to be. Friendly but not intrusive people, helpful house manager available. Information from Department of Conservation. Pesticide summary on line. The space Compact modern house with large open plan living area, great little kitchen, freeview TV and phone and broadband. Please use the phone for local calls. Lovely conservatory overlooking the bay and for early risers you may see white tail deer on the lawn. NZ kiwi sometimes visit the property in the evening and penguins are often seen on the beach or in the bay. A track to the beach is immediately opposite our driveway. Guest access The whole of the house and the house section is available for guests to enjoy. There is a complimentary vehicle at the property; we ask that the petrol is topped up before you leave so the next person can make use of this. Guests who let us know their arrival times will be met at either the ferry or the plane depots and welcomed to Stewart Island. Our house manager Mona Wiig is a born local with many stories to tell; Mona can help you find fishing trips etc. Other things to note Please do not smoke or take pets to the house. As above beware of 1080 poison. Photograph dead deer and birds but do not recover them or touch the poison which is delivered by helicopter. 11/8/25 is close to dropping 43,100 hectares of poison. Be aware and take care.
