Built by Bill Barr between 1935 and 1940, using materials from the original cottage dating back to the 1880s, this charming historical cottage provides a perfect opportunity to step back in time and recharge. Despite being only 50 minutes away from the city, Barr Cottage is just a few steps away from the water, offering a tranquil and peaceful retreat.
Guests at Barr Cottage have easy access to the breathtaking Huia area and can use it as a base to explore the picturesque Whatipū beach. Whether you prefer to launch a boat from the nearby beach using a 4WD or utilize the boat landing facilities, there are plenty of options for water enthusiasts.
To ensure the preservation of the natural environment, it is important for visitors to clean their footwear and equipment to prevent the transfer of diseases between different areas. Additionally, guests must keep the cottage and its surroundings clean and tidy during their stay and upon departure. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is essential to clean all utensils, crockery, and surfaces upon arrival and departure.

"Lovely old cottage with some awesome history. Stunning views from the front bedroom and the beach a few meters away from the front door step. What more could you want."
