Great accommodation!
Everything was good!
clean and tidy. adequate facilities.
all good
Property was warm and comfortable in June. Very quiet location, you need a car . It was very clean and beautifully maintained. Easy drive to cathedral cove
Nothing
A++++
조용하고 고급진 강?바다? 별장?지역에 영업을 위해 만든 숙소라서 꼭 필요한 시설과 핫위터비치에 필요한 삽,수건이 준비
요리용 화구는 1개로 부족했고 조리용 큰 칼과 도마가 없었어요.수도꼭지가 싱크대에서 세척을 위해서 너무 짧게 위치되어 아주 불편해요.
Nota-se o cuidado com o hóspede nos detalhes da decoração.
Gostaria de mais itens no café da manhã, como pão, manteiga e geléia p.ex. Chegamos muito tarde e não havia nada aberto e próximo. E o café, pelo valor pago, poderia ter sido oferecido nos dois dias, não somente na primeira diária.
Cozy, well-furnished, equipped with kayaks and great hosts!
The accommodation is exceptionally well thought out and an ideal location to visit the East of the Coromandel peninsula. There is direct access afforded to the shore for walks and jogging. The hosts are simply delightful and could not have been kinder. In terms of value for money this is an exceptional property.

Property had everything we needed for the short stay. It was clean and tidy and everything required.

We stayed for two nights in the quiet, but picturesque Cooks Beach. Really comfortable room with good facilities (hot plate and microwave for cooking), a short walk to the river and the beach. Ideal location for visiting Cathedral Cove and Hot Water Beach but away from the crowds. John recommended an excellent restaurant in town (Kaizen) which we were grateful for after a long drive up.
Alles
1 klein puntje, de koelkast bromt best wel hard en dat is s’nachts wat irritant
John the owner was very helpful with advice and sorting out the internet which wasn't working when we arrived. The apartment is small but well equipped and all we needed for two nights. The shower was very hot and had good pressure. The unit is in a residential area of Cook's beach and backs onto a waterway. Kayaks are available to use which was nice although we were never there at high tide!
Unfortunately a house is being built on the plot next door so the patio and unit are now both overlooked by builders from fairly early in the morning which wasn't ideal but obviously not the owners fault. Perhaps a higher fence can be installed to give more privacy.
Being two groups that rented together it was nice to have the separation but still be able to hang out together outside if we wanted. Great location for cathedral cove.
Nothing.
Lovely quiet location with a beautiful view out the back. The place is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need.
Cook's Beach is halfway between Hahei and Whitianga, so you can easily visit both locations while enjoying the peace and quiet of this town. Admiral Waters is a small studio apartment, but it's cleverly designed to be much more luxurious. There's a well equipped kitchen with a Nespresso maker and milk frother. The bathroom has tile floors and a towel heater. There are louvered windows for ventilation and a sliding glass door to your private courtyard.. The owner provides beach towels, a shovel for Hot Water Beach and use of kayaks that can be launched into the Purangi lagoon from the property!
My only complaint is we stayed here just one night. Spend 2-3 nights to get the most out of this property.
Wonderful - over and above expectations
Fabulous location, quiet and very well equipped
Lovely location by the estuary. Little extra touches like cracked pepper and cooking oil and the breakfast for the first morning. We had everything we needed.
Nous avons passé une nuit très confortable, le logement est proche d'un lieu de baignade. Très bon accueil de la part du propriétaire.
Peut-être le manque d'insonorisation entre les 2 logements.
Proprete
Cloisons si minces / on vit virtuellement chez dans le voisin, aucune de ses activites ne nous est epargnée; les voiles d'ombre de la minuscule terrasse se demontent au moindre coup de vent
Proximity to the beach New, clean room
Noise issue- I guess the walls are very thin Bathroom ventilation- it says we need to ensure the fan on but it’s all automatic and cannot keep it on
Die Unterkunft Admiral Waters liegt direkt am Wasser und ist ein perfekter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in die Umgebung. Alles war sehr sauber, gepflegt und ordentlich , man merkt, dass hier großer Wert auf Sauberkeit gelegt wird. Die Unterkunft ist top ausgestattet und bietet alles, was man für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt braucht (sogar Kayaks). Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.
Kein wirklicher Negativpunkt. Die Unterkunft ist eher klein, dafür aber unglaublich gemütlich und liebevoll, wir haben uns sofort zuhause gefühlt
Die Lage ist phänomenal. Man läuft wenige Minuten zum Strand und die Grünflächen rund um den Fluss beginnen quasi am Gartentor. Praktikabele Ausstattung, alles vorhanden was man braucht.
Wir hatten Ameisen in der Küche und später auch im Koffer. Scheinbar ein bekanntes Problem, denn es gab vor Ort Insektenmittel.
very nice and very clean, large and comfortable room.
This is such a lovely place to stay. It backs onto a gorgeous river estuary and they have kayaks in the backyard that you can borrow in order to explore! Facilities were fantastic, very tastefully decorated and super comfortable. Very nice touch to provide breakfast. There is also a shovel waiting on thr garden patio to take to the hot beach :)
Really loved it, very sorry for flooding the bathroom :o
設備、清掃状況、環境などは他人に勧めることをができるレベル。室内は充分に広いので快適に寛ぐことができた。やや狭いがバックヤードのテーブルでの朝食は開放感があった。季節にも依るだろうか、植栽管理も行き届いている。
値段が高い。夕食が外食なのは当然としても朝食なしでのコスパが良いとは言えない。出立の10時頃にクリーンスタッフ(と思われる人)が室内清掃に入っていたが、オーナーは商売としての運営をしているだけ、との印象もあった。それがオーナーの運営ポリシーであれば、それはそれでOKだが。
Hübsches, sauberes und sehr gemütliches Cottages, die liebevoll ausgestattet ist und an traumhafter Lage liegt. Die Kommunikation mit den Eigentümer lief sehr gut
Nichts - Der kleine Raum wurde optimal ausgenutzt.
Geweldig mooie locatie op loopafstand van Cooks Beach. Daarbij was de gehuurde studio geweldig en de eigenaren heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam.
Geen idee
It was cosy very comfortable and loved the little courtyard
You could here the people next door moving around but still was a quiet peaceful location
Back sitting area was beautiful and surrounded with lovely vegetation.
Lovely spot, owner was very nice, didn’t spend a lot of time at the unit but it was perfect!
Everything
The place was beautifully set up with everything you need to feel right at home. John and Loraine are genuinely kind and caring hosts, which makes the experience even better. The neighbourhood is lovely and perfectly located.
L’emplacement ! C’est à côté de Cathédrale Cove et de Hot Water Beach à peine une dizaine de minutes en voiture . La cuisine est vraiment bien équipée pour une petite cuisine, c’est un peu comme à la maison. Il y a un livret très bien détaillé avec les marée haute et basse pour Hot Water Beach, plein d’informations sur la maison et les différentes activités ! Il n’y avait pas d’autres clients durant mon séjour donc c’était pas bruyant comme j’avais pu lire dans d’autres commentaires. Je recommande !
La nuit il fait froid mais les couvertures sont assez chaudes et mieux vaut avoir fait ces courses avant de venir car les magasins les plus proches sont à une vingtaines de minutes en voiture
This accommodation was great - comfortable and like the photos. Location was amazing and you could walk right out on to the beach. The host was very nice and they were able to help me out in a bind. Greatly appreciated and would stay again!
Lovely location with great access to the estuary and a peaceful private garden outlook. Nice linen, comfy bed and a great shower. We very much appreciated the extra hosting touches with breakfast options and cotton pads/buds/ tissues in the bathroom.
We could hear guests next door, who fortunately were being respectfully quiet. Would not be great if you had noisy guests through the wall.
Nice modern accommodation set in peaceful location and great for exploring the area in Coromandel.
Unlucky that it was a bit windy for some of our stay.
L’arrivée était très simple et l’hébergement excellent
A lovely setting, accommodation was exactly as pictured, refreshingly well presented. Beautiful location, on the estuary and just a short stroll along waters edge to the beach. Thoughtful additions, they supply a small continental breakfast, a hot plate is available for cooking as well as basic cooking utensils. Owners live onsite and were friendly and accessible. We would stay again.
Unfortunately we had an issue with hot water, as in there was none when I tried to shower in morning. This has impacted my score which would have been a 10. While my husband was able to resolve this (just a gas issue) , with John's assistance, it was both frustrating for me and an unfortunate end to our stay. John was extremely apologetic and did offer additional time to allow for a shower, but by the time I'd disrobed only to discover the problem, redressed and chased up the fix, I wasn't in a great mood unfortunately. I do wonder if this has happened to others as there were instructions in the manual to fix the problem. That said, it was a lovely stay, John was great, we would return. I would still recommend, just something to be aware of - check for hot water at the sink tap before trying to shower perhaps?
Clean and easy to find
The room was immaculate and had all the essentials. The bed was comfy. They had a nespresso which is a nice offering.
The sound from the larger space was very loud with slamming doors and we could also hear talking from the smaller one. Not a major but for those more sensitive you might want to bring ear plugs.
The location
The ant infestation in our bed.
Nice property, clean and well lit.
price is a little bit expensive.
Absolutely brilliant!! So cute they left cookie time cookies for us- thankyou so much guys xxx had the best time
Great location near beautiful Cooks beach, also a short drive to Hahei and Hot Water beach. The unit was well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay, and was clean. Bonus that we could borrow kayaks! Had a lovely time on the estuary. Very flexible and friendly host. Overall would recommend.
Modern, well equipped, spacious unit with adjacent parking with no stairs, use of kayak on attached estuary was fun, spade provided to use at local Hot Water Beach was handy. Many glorious beaches to choose in walking and short distance driving. Lovely takeaway and restaurant in town. So lovely, we added an extra night to our stay.
Loved how fresh and new everything was, the building structure and also all its contents. The spade supplied for local attraction was handy and we made use of the kayak in the estuary attached to the property. Only dislike was the bed… a little too firm for our personal preference.
The kitchen was well equipped and the appliances excellent. The outlook was lovely and the house was very comfortable.
The room was good, only 2 things were the wifi wasn't very good, and not very sound proof, being woken up by other guests due to that. The do write for guests to reduce noise.
Very comfortable, quiet
It was amazing! The appartment ist just by the ricer, you can sit next to the river and have dinner or walk to the beautiful beach! The appartment had everything you‘d need, even a shovel for hotwater beach and 2 kanus in very good condition! I went fishing with the kanu and the amazing hosts john & lorraine smoked the fish and prepared some cevice and we had dinner together! We loved it!
Lovely neighborhood in convenient location to beach(es). Easy ample parking. Responsive and helpful owners. Liked the greenery/yard and space and while design looked nice, wasn’t the most ideal for sound proofing & privacy. Appreciated the beach towels and shovel for hot water beach.
The lack of AC in unit meant need to keep door open all night and couldn’t lower the shade since that would have blocked the air flow. Hence the neighboring guests got a nice view of us in bed as they walked by in the morning (the walkway to the estuary behind the house passes through/by the back patios of other two admiral waters rental properties). I would recommend a split curtain or dual side pull down to allow for privacy while also allowing air flow. Also, if you’re charging this price point and calling it a B&B, shampoo should be provided and daily breakfast options should be given.
Well kitted out. Great space and facility.
Cupboards and drawers could do with a clean. Beginning to look a bit tired - may be end of season.
Great sized house, with a lovely outlook on the river. Modern amenities and everything you need to cook. If you're looking for a comfortable home to holiday in this is a great option. We visited with my wife and 7 month old.
No black out curtains in the rooms, pumps are a little noisy but being a rural area there is likely not much they can do about it.
We purchased groceries for breakfast & lunch
Response from staff was a bit delayed. We asked to use washer & dryer, but did not hear back from staff until following day. When we were able to use it, we were told by the people occupying adjacent room that the laundry was making too much noise & they shut it off. Pretty frustrating.
The home is a wonderful architecturally designed home with an amazing outlook and location. Well appointed home. Having beach towels was a bonus thank you.
The property needs some maintenance - some blinds did not work or were missing in the living room making it extremely hot with NO A/C:( The second bedroom was extremely hot with again no A/C and only a small louvre window for air. The housekeeper did bring a second fan which was a blessing but still needs more airflow or a/c options for more comfort especially in the summer months. There was also an odour in the second bathroom that was hard to ignore. Most of the cabinets in the kitchen did not work which was very frustrating - latches need repairing but other than that it was a well appointed kitchen overall.
Nice quiet neighborhood, clean, nice outdoor space
No A/C one small fan in summer and heat not adequate. Open windows without screens and lights at night =insects indoors. Unit small mattress too thin.
The location and the house is great for vacation.
Unfortunately, when we checked in at 7pm.the property is still untidy for us.
Amazing location, beach practically on your doorstep and close to all major attractions in the area. Nice touches with beach towels and breakfast, also a spade for the hot water beach.
Very thin walls - could hear everything from both sides (1am check in by neighbours was like a stampede) Very hot with only the small fan to cool the room. Lots of ants in the room all over the walls and in and around the coffee machine from the moment we arrived.
Fantastic place and lonely weather!
It was all super clean and the equipment was a dream!! They even had a canoe which we only found out the next day.
That we only had one night to stay there! 😉
Everything was fantastic, lovely courtyard garden to sit in and easy access to the beach
Excellent position and views. Well equipped. Very comfortable.
Bedrooms very warm. Noise from water (outside bedrooms).
Beautiful apartment! Very good location. Walking trail behind the house that goes along the water’s edge. Easy access for swimming in the water nearby. Hot Water Beach. Cathedral Cove.
The bed was a bit soft. I think it’s one of those foam mattresses that don’t provide good support. I’d suggest investing in a quality traditional reasonably firm mattress.
