Kuranui Cottage

Beautiful comfortable cozy cottage. Great views, good location.

깨끗한 시설과 좋은 전망

Sehr schön und liebevoll und gemütlich eingerichtet. Es war alles vorhanden. Wir haben nichts vermisst. Perfekt !!

nichts ! ./.

Location excellent; house v cosy, clean, modern appliances, but in keeping with the time period.

The traffic noise of main highway to Coromandel was busy at times.

The breakfast supplies were great. Linda had the cottage lovely and warm for us which we really appreciated. We thought the cottage was fitted out perfectly, a home away from home.

The cottage is next to a busy road so we found the Friday night traffic did interrupt our sleep. Saturday night wasn't as busy on the road.

Kuranui cottage was absolutely beautiful, and the situation was perfect. The owner provided everything that was needed and more. It was stunning and we loved our stay.

Phantastische Unterkunft, wie daheim und unglaublich liebevoll dekoriert. Tolle Küche, Kühlschrank gefüllt, das ist eine der besten Unterkünfte wo ich je war. Morgens aus dem Fenster schauen wie die Flut aufläuft, sehr beruhigend. Zwei Schlafzimmer, ideal für vier Personen. Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung für den Urlaub. WLAN sehr gut. Wir würden jederzeit das Cottage wieder buchen!

We liked the attention to detail with this property and it really felt like a proper home, not just a holiday rental. The bath and showers are amazing, the kitchen is modern with everything needed to cook.

The noise of the traffic can be quite distracting and there are a lot of ants

I'm type 1 Diabetic so had my own breakie

The cottage is in a delightful area and is decorated beautifully. Such a pleasure to just open the door and enjoy.

Attractive, spacious, eclectic, organised, welcoming, friendly, close to everything. The views were amazing. Very clean. Beautiful walking experience on the waterfront.

Great spot!

The cottage had everything we needed. Tastefully decorated with a touch of the old. Felt like home and close to town and 😊

Breakfast cereals in glass or ceramic storage containers would look nicer.

Lovely to have options of the spa and the bath. Really appreciated all the little extras! Great character cottage.

Post spa moisturiser would have been an excellent extra!

We've been before, we loved it just as much this time! Everything you need is there, everything is perfect! The character is all there, but top quality too x Love it, a little retreat. Thankyou Linda:)

LEAVING!

Overall. very much prepared for the guests coming. I felt it was quite considerate. And the location is good enough. Thanks.

I saw a sign indicating that the house is on the market. So, I am curious what will happen for the future. Hope it will remain as it is even after the ownership is changed.

Lovely well presented.

The busy road.

We enjoyed our stay very much. It was cozy, and definitely felt at home. The place was nice and private and so peaceful, with a good view of Kuranui Bay. Would definitely recommend this place for a nice weekend visit to Thames.

Really cosy, clean and comfortable. Just loved the whole experience.

Perhaps the traffic noise, but this was not a problem.

Beautiful, well-decorated cottage with everything you need including a spa pool.

Nothing.

This is one of the best kept secrets ever in the area. It was our second time. Utter decadence. A gift, in an accommodation sense. Why anyone would stay anywhere else, I have no idea. It's not just a home away from home to me. I'm an older mum of 57, of a lovely, sometimes irritating 11yo son. I am the non-custodial parent. This is better than any home. I've yet to use the bath. A giant would swim in the bath. Sadly only got to use the spa pool once. It was raining...most places in NZ at the time. The lady who offers this beautiful place for accommodation could charge HEAPS. 3 times more at an instinctive guess. But doesn't. You walk in, and can cook, do laundry, etc. Best home. Gorgeous views. Fully stocked as stated, and beyond. Lovely accessibility to Thames and beyond. Just a gem of a place. My son, on coming in after dark on our recent trip, and me turning lights on...was searching for and worried about the 'amber'. He then found it when all the lights went on. Someone told me, from a pic, it was Kauri gum. These hosts trust. And give above and beyond. Beautiful property and hosts.

Beautiful cottage handy to everything in the area

Nice cottage realy Nice renovated with some information about it Nice layout with 2 bad rooms if with 2 couples or a family

Traffic noise, from 6 in the morning to 9 a night

We loved everything about our stay! The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen was spacious and well-equipped, and the bathtub was a real treat. Having two bathrooms was a big plus, and the shower had excellent water pressure. The hot tub was the cherry on top—absolutely perfect!

The only downside was the street noise. I had read reviews mentioning it and didn’t think it would be an issue, but it can be challenging—especially if you're a light sleeper. I’d recommend bringing earplugs and an eye mask, as some streetlight does come through the gap in the curtains.

Without a doubt, the best B & B we've ever stayed at. In over 35 years of choosing this style of accommodation. The host Linda, thought of everything we may need, before we did! She anticipated and provided for her clients. Literally a (luxurious) home away from home. We utterly loved our time there and spending time in a place that was so mindfully and lovingly put together for her clients enjoyment and pleasure. Fully recommend.

Traffic is a little loud during the day. But at night, you can hear a pin drop. Honestly though, we were too busy exploring how cool Thames has become, we missed that somehow, a long the way! Great eateries and the best secondhand/vintage stores.

Beautiful cottage.. cozy, immaculately clean... lovely breakfast supplies. Thank you

no.. it was perfect

Loved absolutely everything. The cottage is stunning and very well equipped. Thanks for extras like milk, fruit, chocolate and breakfast cereals. Cottage right across from a lovely coastal walk track.

There was nothing we didn't like.

We've stayed here several times, and it's always a delightful experience.The cottage is gorgeous and very well equipped, and there's a peaceful view of the sea. The town is a short drive away, and caters for all our needs.

Everything was perfect except the abundance of ants. Other than that, it was once again a fantastic stay.

The beautifully renovated cottage was so comfortable and fully equiped with a great kitchen..The host supplied a wonderful selection of goods for a continental breakfast . The large bath was perfect for a couple to enjoy .

The road directly in front of the cottage was a noisy highway.

Handy and had everything

To busy by the road

A beautifully presented cottage with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Lovely to have food for breakfast and loved the huge bath and the showers. Beds were comfortable and little in the world could beat the sunsets each evening from the armchairs in the window.

Nothing for us

Love the view of the Firth of Thames

Bedroom 2 carpet had a musty smell

We loved the decor and how it felt like a home away from home.

Just the road noise, but you quickly got used to it. Very quiet at night.

It was a lovely cottage, beautifully furnished. It had everything we needed and more. The bathroom was amazing with a wonderful bath and separate shower. We enjoyed using the barbecue and the stunning views across the bay. The pantry and fridge were well stocked with jams, eggs, vogel and chocolate. It was the best bed and breakfast we have stayed in and we were sorry to leave.

We loved the decor and the homely feel to the property. It was a nice kitchen to cook in and a large table to eat at.

Nothing we didn’t like but some beach towels at the property would be good for use in the hot tub or at the beach .

A faultless experience. This cottage is an exquisite home away from home, with an excellent location. It's just far enough out of town to get a nice beach view with a park across the road and easy access to the coastal walkway, but also close enough to town that an easy 5 to 10 minute walk has you on the main street of Thames. Super clean, beautifully restored and presented; modern features, but with an old-world charm, and far more spacious than you might think for a small cottage.

The items for breakfast were all good.

The cottage was right on the highway Lots of car traffic and very noisey

Generous Breakfast Options

Cute little cottage, close to all amenities. Beautiful sunsets.

Excellent value, beautifully restored cottage. Appreciated the well stocked kitchen and full laundry facilities. Nice view out over the bay, and a short walk (10-15 minutes) into the town.

Everything

Nothing

Very beautifully renovated heritage home, complete with two bathrooms and two bedrooms. Fully equipped, and everything in perfect working order. Great communication by the owner from start to finish.

Only one thing: it is located on a major road, with a corner maybe 50m to the north. To get to the park, one needs to cross this road. Most drivers drive slowly and with consideration, but not all. Crossing wasn’t a problem for our party, but my mom could likely not safely cross in time.

Very clean and comfortable. Excellent location. Amazing view. Quick communication. Lots of homely touches.

Roses could do with a wee trim 😊

Tidy and clean accommodation well suited to our needs. Many little touches that made our stay comfortable and pleasant.

A beautifully presented cottage with lots of lovely touches. Comfy bed and it was lovely to arrive at a warm cottage with the lights on.

The traffic noise was a bit of an issue in the morning.

The cottage was super cute, has everything you need, and the breakfast items were a bonus! Loved the spa, and the beds were so comfortable to sleep in. Very warm house on arrival and throughout. It's close to town so travel was easy.

If you're a light sleeper, I'd recommend earplugs for the main room, worked a charm. The skylight in the second room is quite bright too, so I'd recommend an eye mask.

Nice and cosy well-renovated cottage that was perfect for our needs. Goes to show just how little you really need to have a comfortable and homely space.

My only personal issue was that I should have packed an eye mask to sleep in. The sky light in the bedroom worked too well, too darn early!!

Walking into a warm house was fantastic, it was very cold that evening, the showers, bath & spa were just awesome. washer & and dryer where much needed if you are there more then 2 days. The beds if you liked firm mattress they would be great for you, whereas i prefer soft, but it must be hard to for a medium that suits everyone.

Everything Comfortable, beautiful, perfect location

Good variety for breakfast such as bread/toast, eggs, milk and a variety of cereals. The cottage was very special, clean, very comfortable and extremely well equipped. The cottage was well sited with fantastic views of the park and ocean opposite with beautiful sunsets.

What didn't we like, having to leave! There was nothing we didn't like.

This is SUCH a delightful place to stay. Beautiful views, very accommodating host, everything you need is there for your use and the home is impeccably clean and luxurious. Highly recommended for an enjoyable and relaxing break

Absolutely nothing!

Beautiful, comfortable cottage with tons of charm. Lovely view. Great spa pool.

A bit too noisy for me despite the double-glazing because of the location right on a main road. This may not worry other people though. However, the charm of the cottage far outweighs this one negative and I would highly recommend a stay here..

Beautifully presented, so damn cute. I loved the little touches throughout the cottage. Check in was easy. the kitchen has everything needed, and cupboards full of basics, which was helpful when forgetting items at PaknSave. Cottage is warm during winter, perfect location with a beautiful view of the sea, which btw is the best place to view sunsets. Highly recommend.

A comfortable and welcoming place which makes you feel like coming home from the first moment on. Nicely funished and warm interior, equipped with almost more than you can make use of during a 2 nights' stay.

The main road which separates the cottage from the beach can be noisy during day time - but you do not travel all the way to NZ to sit in a cottage during the day, do you? The main thing was: During the night it's pretty quiet. Since we are a tall grown family, putting your legs under the dinner table was a bit of a challange - we simply put a number of coasters under the table legs and all was good.

This cottage is so cute and in such a perfect location! We loved our stay there. Linda was really helpful with offering some suggestions for things to do and places to eat.

Great location and gorgeous cottage. Loved the breakfast, and the spa and deep bath were delightful. Parking was easy to access and I really appreciated the comfy bed after a long drive!

The location is wonderful. I liked looking over to the beach. It was a handy walk into town as well. I loved the old images of Thames on the walls and artefacts from the original cottage before renovation. Very clean and loved the “old time” elements such as the bed pan and old iron.

My mum didn’t like the sky roof in the back room. The noise was also very loud from the traffic, which isn’t the host’s fault, but it kept me awake.

This was our 3rd visit. It’s a home away from home, in fact much better than our home. It’s cosy, has everything we need and is in one of favourite locations. Couldn’t ask for more.

Nothing

Everything was superb, the cottage is magnificent, it had everything one could want. The photos of the renovation were incredible, Linda had great taste. Can't wait to stay again for more that 2 nights.

That we had to leave.

The place was fabulous, clean, we wanted for nothing ... thank you for a lovely 2 nights away, highly recommend 👌 ❤️

There were no negatives from us :)

I loved everything about the cottage. It was clean, warm, comfortable and absolutely beautiful. As soon as I walked on the door I smiled and didn't stop toll on left. Perfect attention to detail and decor was outstanding

The traffic was louder than expected but did not damper. Our stay

Great location, great view, very clean, classic cottage.

Awesome cottage. Great for a relaxing holiday and fantastic facilities. Bath was awesome and nice to have a hot tub. Kitchen well stocked and nice little extras along the way.

Nothing.

Beautiful quaint little cottage with a great view. Everything we needed to the highest standard. Lots of delicious breakfast food

Road noise pretty invasive

Lots of little creature comforts to make the cottage cosy and welcoming

Beautiful restored historical home. Great views of the sea. Lovely attention to decorative detail. I loved this place!

Nothing!!! It was great!

Everything was amazing

Loved everything about this place! Our child loved the enormous bath tub and enjoyed his water play time. We also had a wonderful evening walking along the beach right outside the cottage.

Oh my goodness this place was amazing, the cottage was spectacular and the beach across the road was beautiful ❤️ I loved staying there and it felt like home, very comfortable!

Such an amazing place and beach ! I loved staying there but you couldn't get away from the traffic noise unfortunately 😞

Great location. Very clean & tidy. All facilities there that you required. Thank you for a fantastic stay, definitely could have stayed longer.

I loved everything about the property.

What wasn’t too like ,from the location to the comfort to how it’s setup ,and complimentarys left for us it was amazing,Thanks so much to Linda .ps the sunset on owe first night was the highlight of the stay for my wife .we highly recommend this property we will be back

There’s nothing to dislike

Kuranui Cottage had everything we needed and more! From the breakfast to the shampoo, it was the best! Could not believe how much effort and thought Linda put into this amazing place. Loved the history all around the cottage.

Was a little bit noisy(cars) being on the main road, however that could be due to the long weekend and people coming in to town or passing through. Wasn't too bad.

Everything. Beautiful cottage. Fresh, clean and love the location.

Nothing.

Cannot fault this place ! It was exquisite, tasteful and homely. We have already planned to come back just to have more time in this stunning house! It is delightful and inspiring. Plus, the owner ensures you have EVERYTHING you could possibly need. Amazing!

Beautifully renovated cottage, very spacious and quiet. Furnished comfortably and stocked generously. We enjoyed exploring the area. Linda is responsive and kind.

We absolutely loved the 2 bedroom house. It truly is luxuriously finished. The park across has a beautiful walking path.

During the day, the traffic noise is loud, but we were out much of the day. It's quiet at night.

Everything, great location,great cottage that has been resorted with thought and love
