Great house, perfect location
This house is so great we were able to enjoy it even on rainy days. Great outside area, nice garden, lots of room inside and the most perfect location for those visiting Hot Water Beach. Good value too. Will be back again.

Love staying here
Second time staying here. We love the tropical garden and the rustic little cottage. Covered decks front and back. Good for a couple or small family. Nice and quiet. Last night I stayed up listening to kiwi and more pork in the surrounding bush. Only five min drive to Hahei and 2 min walk to the beach.

House is fine but they threw out our lost property after 24 hours
We had a good time at the property but apparently the owners have a policy of throwing out lost property after 24 hours. I’ve never heard of this approach, most providers keep things left behind for several weeks. The item itself wasn’t significant (toothbrush charger) but if you choose to stay here check the rooms VERY carefully. We were traveling so didn’t notice until the next morning and I didn’t follow up until 48 hours had elapsed. A shocking lapse on my part I know, get a box people!

Great for exploring Hot Water Beach area
The house is very neat, very close to the beach and Cathedral Cove. There were a couple of burned out light bulbs and the oven is tempermental, but otherwise everything is very nice. The rooms are comfortable, the kitchen is nice, the deck and yard are beautiful. Tony stopped out within a few minutes when the oven wasn't working and called out an electrician to check things out. We would gladly stay here again if we were in the area.

Surf sound cottage was fantastic
The cottage is quaint and is very well maintained. The house is in close proximity to the hot water beach. The garden is beautiful and well maintained. The taps in bathroom sink are separate for hot and cold and there was no way to mix the temperatures when the hot water became scalding. We had to get used to that. Overall loved the location and the surroundings. All amenities were as described.

Pleasant stay
Although the location is great, the gardens lovely, For the price, I think the beds perhaps need upgrading and a few kitchens ‘staples’ wouldn’t go astray.

Thanks so much for your comments. We have recently replaced one bed and are due to do the other shortly.

Scallop festival weekend
Second time we have stayed at this property and was very pleased to see the introduction of Wifi. The house is well located, comfortable and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The booking process was ruined a little by the struggle to access the key code. Message we got was your key is available so clicked on the link only to be sent on a wild goose chase around multiple web pages to no avail. Emailed property managers however and immediate response with the code so all good. Would definitely stay again thanks very much.

Beautiful home, perfect location
This batch was the perfect location for our stay. You could hear the waves break, and so many native birds. A short walk to hot water beach, and a short drive to Hahei. We highly recommend the bact for anyone to stay at. It was very clean and beautiful property.

Gorgeous location
Surf sounds cottage was perfect for our stay. It had space for the family, a great backyard and was an easy short walk to the beach. The house itself is well set up for families (or groups) with everything you would need for a beach stay. We would definitely visit again.
