Such a beautiful cottage! Perfect location. Lovely 5-7 min walk to the beach along a private path. Peaceful & relaxing surroundings. Easy 2-3 min walk to restaurants & cafes. Our favorites were Hahei Beach Cafe, Pour House, the ice cream shop, Hungri Hunter Take-away, & The Church Bistro. There’s not a grocery store nearby, but there is a market that has any necessity you may want or need. Easy access to the Cathedral Cove trail, which is roughly 45-60 min each way, depending on your speed. Quick drive to Hot Water Beach (we left our shovels for future guests to use!) Also, an easy drive to Mercury Bay Winery - great wine, delicious flatbreads, & beautiful views.
Jodi was so kind & helpful before we arrived answering questions, as well as during check in. Shaun was also very nice. Loved hearing the details of the cottage being located on the original homestead property.
Overall, great first stop for my husband and me on our New Zealand holiday! Highly recommend!
