We were warmly greeted by our hosts who invited us up to their home for drinks and nibbles and we left an hour later! Many stories changed hands. The next day we put our long line out on the beach and caught a couple of snapper which Miria and Taroi invited us to cook on their BBQ. We of course invited them to share the fish with us and so with salad and potatoes cooked by them ,we once again enjoyed another couple of hours before enjoying a dip in their hot pool. A truly memorable stay in a lovely cottage with the tuis in the trees outside our door.

The bed was very comfortable; it was great falling asleep to the sound of the surf breaking on the beach. Miria and Taroi are fabulous hosts; they treat you as one of their family and really make you feel welcome and comfortable. Our stay here was the highlight of our trip around East Cape; we will definitely stay there again next time we visit Ohope.

Fürs Abendessen sind wir nach Whakatane rübergefahren, dort ist deutlich mehr los als in Ohope. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und interessiert. Bei der von uns gewählten Unterkunft im Haus schläft man offenbar im kleinen Zimmer der ausgezogenen Tochter. Man hat eine kleine eigene Toilette gegenüber, teilt sich aber die Dusche mit den Gastgebern. Wenn man Wert auf Privatsphäre legt, ist diese Unterkunft daher nicht die richtige Wahl. Das Frühstück war auch eher überschaubar. Aus unserer Sicht war die Unterkunft für die gebotene Leistung (kleines Zimmer, kein eigenes Bad am Zimmer, mittelmäßiges Frühstück) leicht überteuert. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Jan, Wisconsin Mar 14, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Our first night in NZ. The hosts were very hospitable. We arrived in NZ a day later than planned and later in the day than we would have liked, so we didn't arrive at the cottage until 10 p.m. They waited for us and then brought us supper because we hadn't eaten. This cottage is in the basement of their home and does not have any ocean view, but it is private, spacious and has a great bathroom! They were a very nice couple and we wish we had had more time to chat with them. ##### Jan ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fernanda Marin, Sao Paulo - Brazil Dec 17, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cosy room Very familiar place to stay, it is the home of a very nice couple, they treated us very well.

It is quite refreshing to stay in a place that the owners take so much pride in and it is immediately apparent that these do once you arrive. We arrived in the early evening hours and found the cottage all fixed up and ready to go. The location was absolutely perfect for access to the beach, local restaurants and activities. We found the cottage very clean and tidy but also came with snacks, nibbles and a personally written letter welcoming us To the cottage. They also provided their personal contact details in case we had any questions or issues; which we did not. We were also fortunate enough to have a great evening conversation with the owners that added to the experience. I will have to say it was like meeting with old friends from the start. I wholeheartedly recommend The Moanarua Beach Cottage for all to enjoy. ##### Jake ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Club Wyndham Canterbury](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Canterbury.h1694.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near The Danforth Music Hall](https://www.expedia.ca/The-Danforth-Music-Hall-Hotels.0-l553248635810193478-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Zed Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Hotel-Zed-Victoria.h65738.Hotel-Information) > > [Rodd Miramichi](https://www.expedia.ca/Miramichi-Hotels-Rodd-Miramichi.h79171.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin DC Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Washington-Hotels-Renaissance-Washington-DC-Downtown-Hotel.h5389.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Cottages Southampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Southampton-Cottages.d181905-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [InterContinental Toronto Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-InterContinental-Toronto-Centre.h4978.Hotel-Information) > > [Posada Real Puerto Escondido](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Escondido-Hotels-Posada-Real-Puerto-Escondido.h11837.Hotel-Information) > > [Palms Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-The-Palms-Casino-Resort.h792446.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Outaouais](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Outaouais-Spa-Hotel.0-0-d6058222-tSpaHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d42-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Seoul](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels.d178308.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Ixtapa - Zihuatanejo](https://www.expedia.ca/Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo-Hotels.d602954.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Elara Center Strip Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Elara-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations-Center-Strip.h2784522.Hotel-Information) > > [Tensui Saryo](https://www.expedia.ca/Hakone-Hotels-Tensui-Saryo.h17517724.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Lufthansa](https://www.expedia.ca/Lufthansa-Flights.cLH.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Niagara Falls (IAG) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/iag/fll/niagara-falls-to-fort-lauderdale) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Seattle (SEA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/sea/vancouver-to-seattle) > > [Flights from Cancun (CUN) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cun/yyz/cancun-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyz/vancouver-to-toronto) > > [flights from sky harbor intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/phx/flights-from-sky-harbor-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Edinburgh (EDI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/edi/toronto-to-edinburgh) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to British Columbia (YAZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yaz/vancouver-to-tofino) ### Activities > [Things to do in Québec City](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Quebec-City.d180017.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Canada Agriculture and Food Museum](https://www.expedia.ca/Canada-Agriculture-And-Food-Museum-Civic-Hospital-Experimental-Farm-Central-Park.d6072515.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Hawaii](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/213/Hawaii) ### General > [Visit Faroe Islands](https://www.expedia.ca/Faroe-Islands.dx11714)
