Aspen Cottage - Stylish Cottage with Sea Views

Stunning sea views and beautiful birdsong converge at this idyllic and private cottage nestled in the trees in Plimmerton. Relax on the sunny patio with a coffee or glass of wine, curl up with a good book or magazine or simply let your mind wander in charming surroundings with both bush and sea views.

Aspen Cottage offers beautifully presented studio accommodation with modern beach-chic decor. Cute and full of character, the self-contained studio is separate from the owner's house, and has its own private entrance and off-road car parking.

Plimmerton is a picturesque seaside village conveniently located 25 minutes north of Wellington city. With safe swimming beaches, excellent local eateries and stunning coastal scenery, Plimmerton is a popular and sought after destination.

A 5 minute walk from Aspen Cottage will take you down to the beach front and Plimmerton Boating Club. From there it is a scenic 15-20 minute walk along the esplanade to the village shops.

Plimmerton train station is located in the village, allowing easy access to both Wellington city and the Kapiti Coast. Train or car to Wellington is approximately 25 minutes. The ferry terminal is 20 minutes drive.

Cute little cottage on a hill in Plimmerton
This was a very quaint and cute hideaway in Plimmerton. A little hard to access but lots of privacy. We found it was pretty small. Good view of the water from up on the hill. Owner is friendly.

Surrounded by bush, you are awaken by bird call in the morning. Nice walking distance (hill climb back) to the sea and village eateries. Easy to catch train into Wellington. The bach is very compact.
