Great little town!

5/5 - Excellent

Lovely little town. Very white sand beach, quiet, clean, comfortable. If you are thinking to go to hot water beach, here is the best staying.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Beautiful relaxed, no curbs, no traffic lights, few cars. Lovely wee village where we had an amazing breakfast - recommend it to anyone.

5/5 - Excellent

WendyLR

A truly unique little haven, the locals are awesomely friendly and helpful. Very special place, hope it stays that way.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Lovely little town with a general dealer for bread and milk and any emergency things you may have forgotten. They also have decent spades for Hot Water Beach at really reasonable prices.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

The parking arrangement for Cathedral cove is a scam at $15 (?) for 4 hours. Perhaps a consequence of NZ becoming overrun with tourists. Maybe time to ease back on pushing NZ as a destination until facilities have caught up.
