On the other hand, the road to get there is very rough (narrow, rocky gravel road) and there are no clear signs to guide you. Fortunately, there's not much else around, so you just keep following "to the end of the road." One word of caution, you are 30 minutes from any restaurants or grocery stores, so bring everything you need for your stay. The cottages, which are a little dated but very comfortable, are fully self-contained. There is a shared hot-tub for all three cottages that takes a while to warm up to 40 degrees Celcius, but once it's warm, it's very relaxing. Washer & dryer use is NZ$7 per machine, and we were not warned that the dryer did not work. Fortunately, it wasn't raining and I was able to have clothes dry outside. The WiFi is perfectly adequate, if you need to connect, but this place is made for disconnecting. Plenty of walks. We enjoyed going to the sand-dune lake nearby. ##### Inge ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 20, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s487-p76885ad0-aeda-11e6-a64d-9a6e387e1139-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### JeanMarie, USA Oct 15, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### wow! A remote location off an unpaved road. Absolutely stunning view of the ocean! Great male host! Spacious and clean cottage. Gardens need tending and the site, over all, needs serious de-cluttering. Our cottage, although clean and roomy, needed less stuff on the kitchen table, countertops, and bed: excessive cushions! People enjoy a clear space to relax and use. But the location is breathtaking. ##### JeanMarie ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sina Sep 18, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing Beautiful location, lovely cottage ##### Sina ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily, Washington DC Jun 12, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect view and perfect home away from home Absolutely stunning view and peaceful.

We will definitely be returning. ##### Emily ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fiona, Henderson May 31, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### magic Bethells Awesome ##### Fiona ### 8/10 Good #### Megan May 16, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Megan ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller May 8, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Nice cottage but overpriced for what it is. Very secluded down a long winding road. Beautiful view of far away beach. No beach access. No food options within at least 30 mins. You must bring food for all your meals. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jazz, Sydney Apr 22, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful Cottages with spectacular view Peaceful and relaxing with an abundance of facilities to keep entertained such as table tennis, hot tub, hammocks, benches, large outdoor chess game and of course the beach itself. This is the "Xena" beach and the scenery is definitely spectacular. The place has a very home-like feel and owners Trude and John are easy to talk to. Would love to return and stay even longer. Perfect if you want to get away and paint/write that book. ##### Jazz ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 20, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Whaou Tres tres beau cottage avec des propriétaires en or. c'est un endroit tres romantique ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily, Portland, OR Mar 4, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### magical beginning What a perfect place to start our holiday in New Zealand! We headed to the cottages after landing in Auckland and stocking up on some groceries. The rough road to the cottages was unexpected, and additional signage directing to the location, as well as parking, would have been helpful. Possible improvements would be air conditioning and window screens. However, our apartment at Bethells Beach Cottages was absolutely amazing. A magical location with a gorgeous view, adorably furnished. John was friendly and welcoming, and gave us some fantastic tips for exploring the area, including a nearby lake and of course the black sand beach below. I wish we could have stayed a whole week! Absolutely wonderful, thank you! ##### Emily ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Condo Rentals Portugal](https://www.expedia.ca/Portugal-Condos.d147-aaCondos.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Saskatoon](https://www.expedia.ca/Saskatoon-Hotels.d4117.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [1 Hotel Central Park](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-1-Hotel-Central-Park.h9215515.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Tritone](https://www.expedia.ca/Praiano-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Tritone.h1455738.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Ventus Ha at Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Morelos-Hotels-Ventus-Ha-At-Marina-El-Cid.h70013577.Hotel-Information) > > [Royalton Blue Waters Montego Bay, An Autograph Collection All Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Royalton-Blue-Waters-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h15437215.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Guyana](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Guyana-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d74-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels with Free Airport Shuttle in Cranbrook](https://www.expedia.ca/Cranbrook-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Airport-Shuttle.0-0-d6058315-tHotelswithFreeAirportShuttle.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Zuri Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Iloilo-Hotels-Zuri-Hotel.h42527852.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/del/vancouver-to-delhi) > > [Tunis Air Montreal (YUL) to Tunis (TUN) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/tunis-air-from-pierre-elliott-trudeau-intl-to-tunis-carthage-intl/tu/yul/tun) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/nrt/vancouver-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Lincoln (YFC) to Cavan-Monaghan (YPQ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yfc/ypq/fredericton-to-peterborough) > > [Air Transat Montreal (YUL) to Toronto (YYZ) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-transat-from-pierre-elliott-trudeau-intl-to-pearson-intl/ts/yul/yyz) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Regina (YQR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yqr/calgary-to-regina) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Portland (PDX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/pdx/edmonton-to-portland) > > [Flights from Porto Alegre (POA) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/poa/yyz/porto-alegre-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Piarco (POS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/pos/calgary-to-port-of-spain) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Toulouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Toulouse.d3475.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Florida](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Florida.d211.Car-Rental-Destinations) > > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Cranbrook](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Cranbrook.d6058315-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Car rentals in Etobicoke](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Etobicoke.d10207.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Toronto.d178314.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Walt Disney World® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Walt-Disney-World-Resort-Orlando.d6034120.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Laughlin Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin.d10747.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney.dx4057)
