Hahei

"Such a great place to stay for visiting Hot water Beach as well as cathedral rock. They have towels and spades for your use, and maps. We walked to Cathedral Rock and it was a great walk. The Church bistro next to the property is outstanding. Reservations recommended. Also right across the street is kayak rental and a pub very close by. Room is really well appointed and the amenities are great. Our room was quite private and peaceful(1 bedroom cottage)."

We drove into Tairua and into the Main Street of this lovely, neat and tidy town. There were a few cafes and shops including a Four Square supermarket and a bottle shop. We stopped in at one of the cafes for lunch and it was so delicious we ordered take away meals and took them with us for dinner that night. We found the hotel easily - about a 5 minute drive from the town centre and were greeted by the manager who also informed us of some activities nearby including kayaking and canoeing. Our...

This was our second stay. The accommodation is conveniently located just North of Thames. It is a short five minute drive into town. The view from the room to the sea is nice. The room is spacious. The balcony/deck - which also connects to the neighbouring rooms with a table and two chairs is nice and spacious, too. We do like the small kitchen to prepare our own breakfast and fridge to store chilled and frozen goods. The staff is friendly and accomodating.

We are a family of 2 adults and 2 children and stayed in a two bedroom apartment (which had 3 bedrooms with one closed off). The apartment was clean,spacious, modern and perfect for our needs. The staff were very helpful and friendly. There was one bedroom upstairs and two downstairs. The recreational facilities looked good but because we only stayed one night we didn't have the time to utilise them. We did borrow a shovel to take to Hot Water Beach which we found very handy!
