In Minden .At this Minden guesthouse, you'll be within half a mile (1 km) of Te Puna Quarry Park and 6 miles (10 km) of Waimarino Adventure Park. Minden Lookout and Fernland Spa are also within 6 miles (10 km).
A warm, modern cottage tucked into the peaceful countryside, just a short drive from Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty coast.
Nestled on an elevated, secluded section in Te Puna, Tauranga, this bright and beautifully presented cottage offers a genuine sense of escape — surrounded by lush greenery and birdsong, yet within easy reach of everything the Bay of Plenty has to offer. Tauranga city centre is around 20 minutes away, and the golden sands of Mount Maunganui are just 25 minutes down the road — close enough to enjoy, far enough to truly unwind.
Inside, the cottage is warm, cosy, and thoughtfully prepared — a comfortable retreat that feels easy from the moment you arrive. Modern finishes, good natural light, and a relaxed layout make it a lovely place to slow down and settle in.
The cottage sleeps two guests, with one queen bedroom. A BBQ and outdoor seating are set up for you to enjoy the peaceful surroundings, and parking for two vehicles is available at the front of the property.
Just minutes away, Te Puna Quarry Park offers beautiful gardens and scenic walking tracks — a wonderful start to any morning. Minden Lookout, one of the finest viewpoints in the Bay of Plenty, is a ten-minute drive away, and the beaches and eateries of Omokoroa are a comfortable fifteen-minute trip. The nearest grocery store — Te Puna Four Square — is conveniently close for stocking up on arrival.
Whether you're exploring the region or simply looking for a quiet, comfortable base to recharge, this charming cottage delivers a relaxed and genuinely restful stay.
