Cabin in the woods
Nice little cabin in the woods with everything you could need. The locals parked a little too far into the road so the rental had to visit the undergrowth a bit to get past.

Nothing special in Te Nikau Retreat
Shared kitchen was ok but don't expect too much, Room with attached bathroom was ok....Walking distance to the beach but misleading path signs i.e. many private properties are around this hostel. Check-in staff was very angry/rude when we turned up around 8pm, as there was no message before that to ask us to turn up before 7pm. The curtains in the room were translucent or not covering the higher windows....the sun light will wake you up in the morning. Will never returned to this hostel.

We loved this accommodation! Such a neat experience staying in the middle of NZ native bush land right on the coast. Super close to where we wanted to be & it had everything we needed & more than expected.
Very cool experience whether you are a kiwi or international traveller

Very Pretty Area close to the beach
The hut or home is old but situated in a beautiful area. The single room I used is not suitable for tall person as the ceiling is very low (it’s an attic room) easily bump head to the padded wooden beams.

The rooms were basic and clean. Water pressure was minimal. Given it’s nowhere near any town, not unexpected. The walk to the beach was good and surroundings were amazing.

Beautiful setting, nice staff, could have been a little cleaner, one of the curtains was pretty dirty, pulled out bed to look for power sockets and really dusty etc
