Hahei Kereru Cottage

We felt very much at home, loved the garden and the hosts were very friendly (including Douglas) and provided good tips for the area.

Nothing, we had a great stay.

The friendly owners, who let us do our own thing but were most helpful whenever asked anything.

We liked everything

The property was beautify clean and very private. We were greeted by our hosts who were keen to make our stay comfortable. They were knowledgeable of the area and could not have been more helpful. I’d recommend them to anyone.

I can’t think of a negative response.

Krásna romantická chalúpka v rozkvitnutej záhrade. Majitelia boli veľmi príjemní, ďakujeme za možnosť ochutnať feijoa ovocie. Veľmi dobré vybavenie, nič nám nechýbalo.

Everything was perfect and lovely! 🤩

Cottage was perfect for a couple, with all you could need. Clean, comfortable and surprisingly spacious. Walking distance to beach and local shops and restaurants. Deidre was welcoming and friendly with a gorgeous dog, Doug.

Great location and lovely cottage

No smart tv or comfy seating

The location was fantastic! Close to everything. The cottage was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed.

Das Cottage liegt zentral und eigentliche hatte es alles was man baucht. Aber wir sind mehr Hotel als Cottages …Grundsätzlich war alles mehr oder weniger sauber … Das Bett war sehr bequem!

Das Internet war quasi nicht vorhanden… Handtücher für Hände und Gesicht wären nett gewesen.

Loved the peace and quiet . The beautiful garden and privacy and easy walking distance to the beach and cafes . The bedding is excellent and enjoyed snuggling in the lounge area under blankets and having coffee on the small patio

Nice and quiet place

Beautiful little cottage, perfect size for the two of us. Relaxing and beautiful garden with the cottage hidden from the main house.

We liked everything about Kereru Cottage. The hosts were amazing, the bed was so comfortable that we had great nights sleep. The location is good for great food and walking distance to a wonderful beach. What more do you need.

Nothing

Lovely cottage with a beautiful garden. Convenient location. Friendly, responsive owners.

The Kereru Cottage was *the* (accommodation) highlight of our 10-day NZ trip! The room, more like a granny flat, is very spacious, with plenty of well appointed amenities. It was the perfect accommodation for us in Hahei, as it was within walking distance to the town centre and the beach. Walking down the garden path, taking in the aroma of the amazing garden with its plentiful flowers, and Doug's watchful eyes - it was entirely idyllic. And don't forget to keep an eye out for the resident kererus! We cannot recommend this place enough!

Stunning little cottage with amazing gardens in a quiet cul-de-sac. Great facilities and lovely hosts. Very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend.

Lovely little cottage in fantastic location. Only 10 minutes walk to the beach. Perfect for walking to Cathedral Cove and exploring the Coramandel.

This is such a gorgeous spot to stay and we will certainly come again. The cottage is idyllic and well suited to a relaxed midweek getaway. Deidre was lovely and we were made to feel very welcome. Everything was clean, tidy and comfortable.

Very nice cosy place. It was our first stop after arriving in New Zealand and it was a relaxing to stay here after a long trip. We discovered the Feijoa fruit in the garden (new to us) and the hosts gave us lots of them, very tasty!

Beautiful setting in the cottage just like advertised. Deridre and Ray were friendly, helpful, with great communication before our arrival on ANZAC Day. Super comfortable bed, great location, and the shovels for the Hot Water Beach were very thoughtful.

I loved staying in this beautiful English cottage with garden in Hahei. Walking distance to restaurants and the Cathedral Cove walk, also came with a shovel for Hot Water Beach.

Everything was amazing.

Clean, location

An idyllic cottage,so tastefully and high quality decorated. What a lovely touch ,Fruit,milk and bread upon arrival,thank you Kitchen was well equipped The cottage was so clean and had everything we needed, we used the BBQ a few times The garden was full of flowers A short walk to the most beautiful beach and the local store and a few cafes and restaurants We met the very handsome Dog called Doug!! Deidre was a lovely host ,nothing too much trouble Wish we could have stayed longer

Location; nice quiet place, quite pretty, well maintained - special bonus when the owner dropped in with a freshly-home cooked loaf of bread!!

Nothing - it was great

Everything. Such a comfortable bed, great kitchen set up, even electric fry pan and oils etc. was fantastic. Quiet and private. Hosts amazing with scones one day and fresh bread the next. Totally unexpected and so thoughtful. Everything extra was thought about and provided.

Nothing it couldn’t have been better

Friendly reception, beautiful cottage inn idyllic location. Great for the beach and walk to Cathedral Cove

We liked everything- beautifully clean really well equipped ( literally everything you might have needed ) Only a ten minute walk to the wonderful beach and little group of shops, micro brewery, cafe and ice cream sellers Close to Cathedral cove and hot water beach ( and don’t rent or buy a shovel for hot water beach - yes you guessed it the cottage has 2 left out for gusts to borrow ) It’s private and perfect as idyllic getaway- it boasted the most comfortable bed we have had on our trip so far We absolutely recommend this cottage

Ummmm can’t think of anything we didn’t like

Location, comfort, parking, convenience and doug the dog

Nothing

The cottage location was perfect for the beach. It had everything we needed, including a BBQ. The place was really clean and everything was really good quality. The bed was super comfy and shower was great. The hosts were great.

Nothing. Loved it.

The location of this cottage is great, near to the beach and secluded in a peaceful, lush garden. We were made to feel really welcome and would recommend this place for couples and small families looking for an idyllic, peaceful place to enjoy Hahei and the Coramandel

Charming cottage. Decor was inviting and cozy. Bed was comfortable (a.k.a. not too hard). Nicely equipped kitchenette. Great proximity to Hot Water Beach and appreciated host's amenity of shovels for the activity. For partners who have different bed/wake times, we found the layout ideal for separating the sleeping area from the lounge/kitchenette area. The welcome binder provided a wealth of information on getting settled.

The internet was unreliable and slow. The router may be located in the main house, preventing a good connection for guests. We arrived late afternoon mid-week and had difficulty finding a restaurant that was open for dinner. The lack of functioning internet made it more difficult for identifying options or catching up on work or travel research when stuck inside during bad weather.

No breakfast was provided although, fresh home made bread was welcomed and appreciated.

I don’t wish to be negative to such a beautiful venue and hosts.

Great position, quiet place and cozy and lovely cottage

Great location near the beach and close to the walk to Cathedral Cove which had just opened up. Walking distance to eating places. Short drive to Hot Water Beach. Charming property set in a beautiful garden. Lots of lovely touches with a really comfortable bed and great shower.

Wonderful location. At the end of a peaceful cul de sac, tucked away behind a lovely garden. Yet, only a few minutes walk from local amenities and the beach!

Private, beautiful setting, everything you needed.

Nothing

Loved the cozyness of the whole room, lots of natural light and high ceiling. BBQ was an absolute bonus since the weather was amazing

Gorgeous cottage. Welcomed warmly. Host very accomodating of a last minute extra person.

Nothing

Beautiful little cottage, immaculate, lovely modern bathroom. Really.comfortable bed. We got great advice about the local area and help with a booking to make our lives easier. Our daughter loved Doug the dog. Great location, 10mins walk from the beach.

Nothing really

A little bit out of town but not too far to walk and was a very pleasant walk into town and the beach

Nothing everything was great

The setting was idealistic for a relaxing family holiday.

Nothing! It was perfect

Fantastic little stand alone cottage, separate bedroom, and great bathroom. There's space for sitting out the front surrounded by garden and everything you need for making simple meals in the kitchenette. All within walking distance of the beach and a couple of good places to eat. Excellent stay!

Very comfortable, clean cottage in quiet location with everything we needed. Very comfy bed, decent shower and essentials in kitchen if your'e not eating out. Short walk to beach and local shop/restaurants. Beautiful beach and close to some stunning alternatives plus walking options. Should have stayed 1 week to explore area further.

Lovely cottage and excellent facilities and lovely garden, within walking distance of shops and beach.

Beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting. Got everything you would need. Highly recommend

We totally enjoyed our two restful nights at Kereru Cottage over Christmas. The owners were welcoming, the cottage was homely, the garden was very beautiful, perfect for us. Thank you Deirdre and Ray! We hope to come back again next time when the road of Cathedral Cove is reopen again!

Absolutely nothing.

Peaceful and relaxing location in a well presented cottage. Very comfortable bed and simple breakfast provided.

Deidre and Ray were both very welcoming. Great location, and the cottage was very comfortable to stay in. Highly recommended.

Nothing.

A very friendly welcome with a full walk through of the cottage showing us all the facilities.

The host family were awesome, the stay was wonderful peaceful and relaxing. Glad I decided to book this property.

Nothing really. Maybe just a bit more info in the book about the washing, rubbish and recycling disposal. We didn’t know what to do with our recycle so we brought it home. But otherwise everything was perfect.

Very homely, well presented, clean & comfortable

Easy access & private

Beautiful little cottage, great location. Had everything we needed. Very comfortable bed, and my teenager slept well on the sofa bed. Peaceful surroundings.

Super cute little cottage with great facilities in excellent location.

Everything was great 👍

great location, warm and cosy home perfect for a weekend trip to hahei

Great location, comfortable & quaint cottage.

Excellent location, very friendly hosts and well-equipped

Beautifull cottage in garden. Attention to detail. Close to Cathedral cove and Hot water beach.

Beautiful garden location. Wonderful hosts

Wonderfully friendly and helpful hosts. The prettiest little cottage, beautifully fitted out, in a lush garden setting. Hahei is a lovely little walkable village with a few shops including a small supermarket, and a hotel serving mostly pizza, fish and chips, a lovely beach, good walks, easy drive to Hot Water Beach.

The unusually wet weather which resulted in closures including Cathedral Cove. Just have to go with these situations. 😀

Wonderful kind & considerate hosts, great location & beautifully appointed cottage.

Nothing

nothing

This cottage sits in a lovely garden, close to Hot Water Beach. We found it to be a great little cottage in a fantastic location. The hosts are very nice people who respect your privacy but are willing to chat if you want to.

Should have stayed longer. It was a beautiful place to stay for a day of rest on an extended trip.

We loved our two nights here. The cottage is in a perfect location. It rained heavily our whole second day but we didn’t mind as the cottage was a lovely and cosy escape from the rain . It was comfortable and clean with so much attention to detail. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
