Been around the north island for my first time, and Hahei and The Church Accommodations were the most beautiful! I would come back in a heart beat. The staff was very helpful about where go and how to get there.
A secluded retreat in a natural setting lovingly cared for by the super friendly owners and staff. The log fire cottage is a great choice for winter!

Great stay! Very charming cottage feeling. Limited dinning option being off shoulder season but the pub in town was open and had great options! Supplied shovels and beach towel during stay for hot water beach at no additional charge which was great. Would highly recommend and would stay again!

My best friend and I rented out one of the cabins for our joint birthday road trip and fell head over heels with this accommodation. It was the most cozy cabin which had all the utilities we needed and very friendly staff, with super easy check-in. Would highly recommend it, and plan on returning in the new year!!!

Stunning!
Absolutely loved our stay in our Studio Cottage set among the stunning private gardens. Beautiful attention to detail right throughout our cottage and the overall property. Very friendly and helpful host that sorted our afternoon boat cruise and provided details of all the sites to see. We hope we get back here again one day.
