Had a lovely stay at Church Accomodation and dinner at Church Bistro.
Room is absolutely stunning with high ceilings, beautiful windows and hardwood. They have beach towels and shovels if going to hot water beach and can provide recommendations/assist with local activities. Staff is very friendly. Parking available next to cottage.
Location is about a 10 minute walk to town center with an ice cream shop, small grocers, a few cafe/dining options. An additional few minutes takes you to Hahei beach. And 20-30 min walk from town center to the start of the Cathedral cove walk. There is also a Hahei public carpark next to the accomodation which runs a shuttle to the cathedral cove walk for $7 return for adults.
