The staff went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. The room was spotless, comfortable, spacious, and even had a private outdoor patio. We will definitely stay there any time we are visiting Tairua.
The staff were wonderful. We were late in arriving but staff made the check-in process smooth and easy. We were in unit 1 which has a view of the bay and a wonderful outside sitting area with a bbq. Linens were nice and beds comfortable. The heat pump worked well when we needed air conditioning or heat. The staff were very helpful during an unusual heavy rainfall event to make sure we were safe and had everything we needed. We would stay again if we are back in the area. Hot water beach and Cathedral Cove are within easy driving distance.
It is conveniently located. It has shovels available for going to hot water beach. Room is spacious. The back patio is nice place to relax.

Fine for the area
Room was ready with no problem checking in. Email had instructions for self checkin. Room was a little worn but clean. Bed was comfortable. Tairua has one nice restaurant among a lot of take away places. Not on the beach.

The rooms were clean and comfortable on the inside. The property on the outside was very unkept. Driving in made me very worried.
The owner was very helpful and was helpful with beach towels, dining advice and grocery shopping.
Overall our stay was pleasant. Easy walk to a small town. Lots of walking trails and drivable ocean beach.

Was a pleasant stay. Lovely area.
Steven was really helpful and Friendly.
Room was tidy, bed comfortable. Nice having a deck to sit on.
Maybe change the tea. Was weak and horrible.
Just spray the weeds and the property would look so much better.
Would stay again.
