Book a Slipper Island Cottage

"Beautiful grounds and lovely, private cottages. Very well equipped. Perfect for a weekend away"

"great location and very clean. Only thing feel needs to be updated is that the bathroom has the smallest basin. "

"This was a great place to stay and Tania was accommodating to us as overseas visitors with extra explanation of how things work etc. Very close to beach and amenities."

"Great place , classic kiwi batch with a nice kitchen and dishwasher! which was a nice surprise. Well laid out , good shower , comfy lounge ,comfy beds, beautiful views of hillside and estuary. Good parking, nice neighbors. Advice you take your own big umbrellas for shade on deck. Can park a 6mtr boat on grass then 2 to 3 vehicle's. Only con would be no details on rubbish collection. We found the pamphlet on the last day. Tairua is awesome, not has busy as Whiti or Pauanui but still has...

"A wonderful place to unwind and enjoy a relaxing beach holiday. We loved the house. It’s simple and homely, yet everything you need is here. The beds and sofas are comfy, and the kitchen is well stocked. The view of the sea and the trees is fabulous. We are sad to leave."

"A good traditional kiwi bach, good for a break away from the city. Nice and close to the beach and tennis court, reasonably equipped."

"Great size and love the decks and the view! Suggestions: Better beds in the sleep out! Particularly the bunk beds!!! The ladder fell and almost hit one of the kids who was sleeping in the double bed. Because it’s a sleep out, all of the beds should be a series of bunk beds instead of the two double and queen beds. It needs a fan too as it was very hot! The fridge is great in there. I would suggest glassware that is usable for 13 including proper water glasses that are not so small and more...

"Loved the stay. Hot water kept on tripping but it was hot anyway so not too much of a problem."

"The photos look really nice so it was a little bit of a surprise when we arrived to see it what it was actually like. Mould on the textured ceiling in the bedroom and found a flea in one of the beds (after waking up with bite marks), we don't have any pets so we definitely didn't bring it with us. The unit was full of the owners stuff which cluttered an already small space and made it difficult to find a place to put things. The carpet in the bedroom looked to be original and everything felt...

"Had a great stay, perfect amount of room for the 8 of us and good facilities. Thank you very much."

"Although this property is within easy access to the beach and the river we found the bedrooms lacked storage space, the outdoor furniture was very difficult to manage as it is heavy, unstable and hard to move. Being able to spend as much time as possible outside is important for a family. We used the bar b que and found only 2 burners worked. One of the bedrooms had not been cleaned properly when we arrived and there was glass on the floor in the childrens room causing an injury luckily to an...

"The Lookout was perfect for a relaxing getaway. We loved the location, and the view over the ocean was pure magic. The property was secluded and it had everything we needed. Cleanliness could have been slightly better but this didnt hinder our stay. We would definitely come back!"

"As advertised. Well equipped and comfortable. The fully fenced deck ensured the safety of the dog."

"I have sent emails about the issues with the house"

"A really lovely place. Look forward to returning there one day."

"Very tidy, safe swimming at your doorstep. Great location."

"Jo was great and helped us check in and get settle."

"This beautiful house is an architectural treasure, a classic Lockwood home in almost pristine original condition. Thank you to the owners for enhancing and honoring the house. The location is perfect."

"Everything we needed for a nice 2 days holiday."

"This is a great location in Tairua. We had the two bedroom upstairs villa which is a little dated. Huge main bedroom and ensuite. The second bedroom was combined with a lounge so nowhere really to sit for a chat without being in with the kids. The kitchen was really just a couple of cupboards and a bar fridge. But all was very clean, beds comfortable, great location. The managers were lovely. We will stay again."

"Just a wonderful place to stay in Tairua, very friendly and helpful team."

"Mainly a good place Sadly no wifi there Otherwise good Should of known more about hot water Do take own pillows "
