Waiwhare On The Beach (beachfront property with direct beach access)
10/10 Excellent
"A very large, old beach house. And just wonderful. Cosy fire, amazing views, everything possible available in kitchen. Drove through floods to get there and it was worth it. My little dogs are home and absolutely exhausted from all the great walks."
"The bach is in a brilliant position, very close to the beach but high enough to be out of any wave danger. Great views of the sea. Good views of the lighthouse which is lit up at night. The kitchen has an air-fryer which was easy to use, and a good big coffee plunger. Our weekend away had terrible weather, but the bach quickly heated up inside and was nice and warm. There was a problem with the new Smart TV, no satellite signal, but I'm sure it will be fixed before the next guest. There is no WiFi and radio and tv reception is pretty weak on the coast, but 4G phone reception is fine. Hopefully we'll have good weather for our next visit."
Stylish modern apartment with stunning lighthouse views, close to the beach

"Very comfortable and peaceful with a great view of the lighthouse. Clean, modern apartment with everything you need. The whole experience was seamless and Dave was a good communicator and just made it happen. Would stay again!"
The best area to stay in Tinui is directly within the village itself, or in the immediate surrounding countryside, for a truly tranquil experience.
Tinui village is a small, quiet settlement known for its historic church, St. Luke's, which holds significance as the first place in New Zealand to hold an Anzac Day service. The village is located amongst rolling hills and farmland, offering a peaceful rural escape. It's an ideal base for those looking to explore the Wairarapa region's natural beauty.
Couples looking for a romantic and secluded getaway will find the properties just outside the village particularly appealing.
