"Very pleasant stay. Beds in particular deserve a mention- very comfortable. Showers are fairly basic, but water is hot and plentiful. Good value for money. However, it's definitely not an 11 minute walk from Cathedral Cove! It’s more like 45 minutes, and expect lots of walking up and down hills. ..."

"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 ..."

Great little town!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

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.

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.
