We had the most amazingly relaxing stay at this property.
We had the most amazingly relaxing stay at this property. Close to all amenities & the house is so well equipped - particularly for those that have children.
Awesome location, easy walk to beach and town centre.
Also really appreciated the quick response from Tina when we were having some trouble with the tv, she responded straight away and fixed the issue swiftly.
Could not have asked for a better stay.
What a charming place to stay. A cosy homely vibe, warm and inviting. A short stroll to the beach and to the town centre. Hahei is a delightful place to stay. Communication with Tina was exceptional. Wonderful suggestions of leisurely strolls, places for the morning caffeine supply, and marvellous meals. If 6 stars was a thing I'd have pushed that button in a heartbeat. Truly exceptional service.
Classic Kiwi beach house with everything you need.
We enjoyed our family holiday very much. The house is cozy and comfortable with a short walk to the beautiful Hahei beach. The campground nearby was had delicious woodfired pizza to order at night which was an added bonus.

Very comfortable and well-equipped house, including bicycles, recreational equipment and barbecue.
Very comfortable and well-equipped house, including bicycles, recreational equipment and barbecue. Conveniently located. Only minor drawback is that it is not fenced.
This charming place reminded us of our own holiday cottage on the Norfolk coast. The wood panelling made the place feel warm and cozy despite the cold nights. Really well equipped - some extra heaters for the bedrooms would have made things even cosier. Great main living room space and THAT chair - so nice to sit in. Nice and close to the beach.

We had a great week in Hahei staying at this bach with our 3 children.
We had a great week in Hahei staying at this bach with our 3 children. It was a great location - we enjoyed walking & biking everywhere. The kids enjoyed being able to go to the big field on their own. We didn't get great weather but the bach was well equipped with lots of games, books and magazines. The kitchen was also very well equipped and SKY TV a bonus. My only gripe would be the lack of dryer - but I think we struck an unusually wet week!
Very sweet Bach just blocks from a beautiful beach. We loved our time here and wish we had stayed longer (and skipped Whangamata). The host was great and the property was set up with everything you need, including a spade to borrow for hot water beach. We liked the ability to cook and appreciated the baking dishes and supplies. The out door shower works great and we were happy to borrow the kayak and rol it to the beach. Lemons growing from the lemon tree were falling off the tree and made an excellent cake. Kids were quite happy with the board games. Very special and well loved property. The only small downside was that there were night parties at two neighboring houses which made for some late noise on two of the nights.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was very well equipped with comfy beds and plenty of space, and close to local amenities. We’re already planning our next stay here!
Really enjoyed the house, lovely little details like toys for the kids and the coffee machine. Friendly and helpful communication from the owner, really happy with our choice to stay 🙂
Perfect home for our family of 5. Very responsive and helpful hosts. Great location - short walk to the beach plus a couple of old bikes available to use. Definitely recommend this spot on the Coromandel.
