"Stunning view and great sleeps"

8.0

Stunning view and quiet. Slept very well here. Great location being an easy walk to the ocean beach.

Sitting on the sofa with the heatpump going straight above blowing air on you was not pleasant. You need to be ok with the steps for access and a steep driveway.

We absolutely loved the view, split level privacy and that they were pet friendly. Our daughter was downstairs with her fur babies while we were upstairs. Oh and the water pressure was awesome and hot. If you climb the stairs to the top, you'll a gorgeous view of the entire bay.

"The HarbourMasters Cottage was very nice with gorgeous views."

8.0

The views were beautiful! Nice roomy house.

The stairs! The outside stairs were steep and not in the best of shape. Hard to manage getting our suitcases up them. We are all over 65 and found the stairs a challenge. The out door patio furniture needed some maintenance. The table was very rough and snagged my clothes.

The place had a very good kitchen, for self-catering. The main bedroom was excellent, with lovely harbour views.

It was all great!

"A very relaxing and peaceful stay overlooking Tairua with amazing views. Was incredibly worth it and I would love to sta"

9.0

The location was absolutely lovely, the view from the windows and balcony were stunning. The location also meant it was very quiet and peaceful which is always a bonus! The house was also really nice and comfortable.

Not that I necessarily didn’t like this about the property, but I made the mistake of not realizing that the house was located on a steep inclines which meant a long flight of stairs needed yo be climbed to be able to access the house. As someone who packed quite heavily, this was a bit difficult for me but I managed! Just be aware of that in the case you are not packing light like me. Also I do feel the house could’ve been a little cleaner, there were some cobwebs and dead insects in the corners of rooms and ceilings, but nothing a quick wipe down couldn’t fix!
