Waihi

"This was an excellent place to stay. We were given a warm welcome by the host and several dogs! The tiny house was in a paddock with sheep, a horse and chickens but was so peaceful. It was very clean and comfortable and, although compact, it had everything we needed including some breakfast items. We enjoyed listening to the birds and loved it so much that we wished we had been staying longer. If you want a peaceful retreat, this is the place to go."

Top Mayor Island Hotel Reviews

Simply the best! Beach front, uninterrupted great views from all rooms

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at this property. The location was beautiful, and the house was full of eclectic treasures that gave it a real bach character. We would definitely stay again and hope to stay for longer next time."

Absolute beachfront! Sleeps 12+ Built 2011

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a relaxed 3-night stay at this beachfront property. The photos really don’t do the house justice. It’s much bigger and more spacious than it looks online, with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The beach view is absolutely beautiful. Such a pleasure to watch the sunrise from the deck/inside. James was fantastic to communicate with from start to finish. His communication was excellent and everything was really straightforward and easy throughout our stay.The kitchen is also really well stocked with everything you could need, which made it easy to settle in and cook meals during our stay. The only small downside was that the oven isn’t the greatest, but otherwise we had everything we needed. The house is surprisingly warm and has more than enough space for a group of adults or an extended family.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay here again. The house, space, location and beautiful beachfront setting made it such a relaxing getaway. We’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with an amazing view!"

Luxury Apartment on the Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"from the entry to leaving , this place was beautifully decorated, well set out, 2 very comfortable beds, warm, when we walked in, there was a milk in the fridge, Bottle of wine with yummy crackers, to go with yummy cheese in the fridge, the cupboards are stocked with all the teas we loved, tv is in every room, the only thing we struggled with was the stairs, stairs to the apartment and then up to the bedrooms, but we are old and knees are not the best, the view, just beautiful, all the little extras, gorgeous cutlery, every detail was chosen carefully, bathrooms were great, i can not fault this place in any way, if we ever needed to go down again, we would absolutely stay there, the sun streamed in and warmed it up, 5 out of 5 for everything,"
