The cottages and gardens were gorgeous. It has the feel of a private retreat. It was so lovely I immediately rebooked a second night when I arrived. The staff were lovely and helpful. Closely located to the local attractions, town and beach. I also had an exceptional meal at the Church Restaurant. Just wish I could have stayed longer.

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! Definitely...

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...
