Sanctuary in the Cove - Coopers Beach
Sanctuary in the Cove is not just one holiday home but two. Cove Cottage and Pohutukawa Cottage are located right on the waters edge. They are more than 100 metres apart, separated by bush and large trees. Location
Sanctuary in the Cove is owned and managed by Bruce Abraham, a New Zealander who returned to live in the Far North, after 20 years in business overseas. Bruce has developed the property extensively since first purchasing it in 2002. This has included the planting of 2000 trees and the planting program continues. Bruce is assisted by his partner, Rebecca Shawyer, a local clay-sculptor. Guests interested in art, are treated to a private showing at Rebecca's studio."

Time to Relax The cottages face north to north-west and therefore enjoy full all day sun. In the evenings, guests can relax on their front private verandas watching the sunset and the fish jumping in the constant movement of the tide. The property is also home to a vast variety of bird-life with tuis particularly prevalent. Wild ducks, pheasants, quail, blue herons, pukehoe and rabbits are also constant visitors and can be watched in the mornings and evenings as they feed along the shoreline or wander across the front lawns.
