What an unexpectedly fine place to stay. The little cottage is added at the back of the regular house. It has a built on landing for outdoor eating, a pretty garden, and adequate parking right there on the grass. The hosts are delightful, love to talk and find out how you are doing, and have lots of ideas of things to do. The cottage is a block or so from lovely Hahei beach, with tourist things to do, if you are up to that sort of thing. It is close to the little town. The Pour House we went to had excellent food for dinner; the general store had what little we needed. Since the Cathedral Cove walk was closed due to a slip, so we drove over to Shakespeare Cliff Lookout and spent a delightful day on Lonely Bay beach nearby.

The location couldn't be beat. It was a quick and easy walk to everything in town, including The Pour House which was a great spot for lunch/dinner/just grabbing a drink. Bill and Pam were amazing hosts. The house had everything we could have needed and more. It was one of our favorite locations on our trip!

The location, the hosts, the size of the property

The place needed new beds and an update to the kitchen and bathroom.

Loved the talks with the host - it felt like home. Big house with a great atmosphere and location 5 minutes from the shops and the beautiful beach.

There is lack of privacy at this accommodation. The outside area - which has a large table and multiple chairs, sits directly in front of the owners living area. Owner did come out to the deck often to have a chat.

Location is excellent. Unit is very clean and tidy. Owner was helpful in terms of providing information about Hahei - where to eat (or not to eat) and what to do around the area.

There were no issues and nothing to complain about.

We didn't ask for breakfast. Very friendly hosts and very informative about all the sight seeing places in the area.

The pots and pans were very warped and the wifi was very spotty around the house.

We absolutely loved the location. It Is easy to walk to things in Hahei, very close to Hot Water Beach, and easy access to Cathedral Cove (once it is reopened!). The hosts were very kind and even loaned us a shovel for Hot Water Beach.

Localization and hospitality of the owners. All clean and really comfortable. We recommend!!!

Two minor things which we thought could be improved. Privacy - whilst the owners were nice, sharing the deck and them being able to see into the unit was a bit offputting. A little privacy screen would help. Aged utensils and crockery. A lot of the utensils are old and need replacing. And a cheap but matching cutlery set doesn’t give the sense that the place was furnished from the op shop.

Great location, neat and tidy little place with lots of amenities and nice touches. Beds were super comfy. Owners were very friendly and nice to chat to.

can't think of anyone who wouldn't like Hahei Beach Escape

Hahei Beach Escape is definitely the only choice for our next trip to Hahei Beach! We were fortunate to have met Bill and Pam, who were such friendly hosts willing to share and help travelers. Despite the Cathedral Cove being closed due to the storm, Bill suggested that we take a rubber dinghy during high tide to get a close look at the volcanic rock bay and cave. We also appreciated Pam's sharing of fresh oranges and lemons from the yard. Look forward to being able to pick fresh avocados and other fruits in the not-too-distant future. More importantly, with Bill's continued encouragement, we finally enjoyed Hot Water from Hot Water Beach

The bed mattresses were retro. But the bed sheets and coverings new.

Location of retro style accomodation.

Pam and Bill were excellent hosts, super friendly and informative. Loved the attention to detail, such as a spade to use for hot water beach.

Nothing.

Lovely hosts. We had brief chats morning & evening, but never too intrusive. Kept us up to date with travel issues after cyclone. Nice accommodation. Great position. Pour House good for evening meals. Church Bistro also-a bit more 'gourmet'. Cafe in shops great for breakfast

Stayed in February 2023

We stayed immediately following cyclone Gabrielle, and as a result, temporarily there was no internet.

Excellent location: just two blocks from the beach, accessed by a nearby public walkway to the beach. Hosts are wonderful, and Bill lent us a shovel to take to Hot Water Beach. They made excellent recommendations for places to eat both in Hahei and at Hot Water Beach.

warm and caring host. Perfect location for visiting hot water beach and Cathedral Cove. Enjoyable BBQ at the backyard deck.
