Super clean and tidy beach bach, well appointed and beautifully presented. Close to beach, not too far to cafe for a daily coffee 'fix'. Highly recommend as a family destination - safe for little ones, enough space for older families too.

4/10 Poor

Positives: good bed.

Positives: good bed. clean. Negatives: Toilet is completely unattached on one side, very challenging to use. Shower curtain had a bad case of mildew. No trash receptacle. No heat. Peculiar body odor smell in bedroom. Kayaks but no way to get them to the water, the cottage is on the other side of the road and access is not across the road but a short drive. Tried to take trash to recycling ctr but they charge $5 a bag! and at $130 a night, I wasn't paying more to dispose of the trash.

Quiet location and space in garden to enjoy Bellbirds and sunshine. Worth investigating the waterfall, and hill walks nearby, - great views! though tricky to find the start of tracks

Lovely and clean but not really infant friendly even with the 1 baby gate.

Lovely and clean but not really infant friendly even with the 1 baby gate. Beds comfy, great having the washing machine. A cutting board and some kitchen knives for chopping and slicing would come in handy in the kitchen. The Big frying pan and electric fry pan was great for cooking for the 4. Lovely little beach across the road, great access to Te Kaha and Waihau Bay. Overall good stay.

It's a great family house (old fashioned but extremely clean and well presented with every facility you would ever need). It was in a perfect location for our family reunion. Whanarua Bay is very isolated - you must buy your food before arriving in Te Kaha - but the location is glorious. We loved walking to the beach, hiking trails, Macadamia Farm (the coffee is very good), the Camping Site has fantastic facilities. Highly recommended for families.

Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend. very tidy and clean, everything we needed. Margaret even gave us mandarins to enjoy. Time just flew but we will be back...still got to find where the fish were hiding...spent to much time exploring the rock pools. Fun.

It's a beautiful quiet spot with sheltered bay, native trees and birds, very restful. Has three local walks to do - the waterfall walk the prettiest, the short coastal walk along the bay fronts and the tough climb to the lookout hilltop - hard climb but great scenic views at the top. Location close to great long sandy beach at Waihau Bay which is great for all ages to swim, a beautiful sweeping bay and a must do.

Peace and tranquility.

Peace and tranquility. ! The Bellbird birdsong was a lovely backdrop to a very special place on the Eastern Bay of Plenty coast.
