Hot Water Beach Bure Wera

Loved the location. Very comfortable stay.

No microwave! A microwave would have been great, as we’d brought frozen meals.

The Bure was a beautiful bit of paradise, had everything you needed

Bed was really comfy but a bit squeaky

Beautiful location, walk straight on to beach.

House and Verandah shady in winter sun.

The Bure style and it's location.

Notning. It was great.

Great location. Easy walk to the hot beach. Beautiful surroundings.

Loved the style of the bach and location

Just a few little things…like no washing liquid, lightbulb not replaced, door locks sticky

Great layout. Nice to have lawn space

Heat pump maybe? I was sweet. Girlfriend was cold haha. Had heaters going so not end of world

A great location and beautiful space! Everything was as expected and appreciated the easy and quick communication. Would stay again.

Was able to take a little stroll through the garden, down a little trail and was on the beach!

10am check out is soooo early

Amazing location! Beautiful, clean, comfortable accommodation

It is a gorgeous one bedroom unit with beautiful views. It had everything we needed for a lovely weekend. I could watch the native birds while sipping coffee in bed . A very special place. We walked to the nearby Top10 campground for fish and chips and had a number of very good meals at Hot waves ( all waking distance) Hot water at hot water beach did not disappoint.

Nothing

Beach side Spacious Garden and bird life 👌

NA

Loved the layout of the home

The stove and oven wasn’t working we did get access to next door though so many thanks

Location! 1min walk to the beach down a private path….. beautiful outlook and the tuis in the trees were lovely to wake up to

There were no negatives at all.

The location was amazing, it was nice and clean.

Only thing what could’ve been better was in the description it said oil, salt, coffee will be included but it wasn’t there. It was difficult when we started cooking that we realised those essential wasn’t there. Overall the stay was good

Perfect location for hot water beach experience

Beautiful property in a fantastic location. Very comfortable.

Location, location, location!!! WOW great property. We stumbled upon this property when organising our trip and nothing disappointed. Perched close to the beach and secluded environment. Loved sitting in the garden listening to the birds. Easy walk to Hot Water beach and seeing sunrise. Other places very close like Cathedral Cove, Hahai, Whitianga. Property is well appointed cabins with informative folder on local area and options. Given it’s a high traffic area for hot water beach you don’t even notice. We also enjoyed dinner at Hotties Beachfront Eatery watching the moonrise. Very good dinner excellent service

Nothing really was exactly what we expected.

Beautifully designed, comfortable, clean, spacious

Nothing

Location was superb

Modern clean excellent

The location was perfect for us. A one minute walk to the beach through our own little path. We were welcomed with a tui bird hanging out in the tree outside the Bure. The inside was quite nice and really no significant complaints except that the sofa was a little uncomfortable. There was a shovel to use at the beach. We found another shovel in the water and added it to the bucket : )

No laundry : (

Location was perfect, the accommodation was spotlessly clean, the grounds very well kept. The closeness to to beach was ideal as was the provision of a shovel for the hot water pools.

Nothing

Good location in the near vicinity to Hot Water Beach, shovel supplied. Modern style accommodation with plenty of room and on site parking.

No microwave and we couldn’t get the oven to work, luckily the cook top worked.

Spectacular Accommodation, possible the best I have ever stayed in!

Secluded, spacious and close to the beach

Didn’t like the two plastic chairs in the living space and the sofa was uncomfortable - minor issues that wouldn’t stop me booking agIn.

Die Lage war top, der Garten mit den Palmen und Pflanzen herrlich um es auch da geniessen zu können. Meeresrauschen und Vogelgezwitscher☺️ bleiben unvergesslich…

die Einrichtung von Küche und Wohnzimmer sind spärlich und nicht qualitativ angemessen zu dieser tollen Unterkunft! Plastik Tisch und unbequeme Plastikstühle, die wir auf den Sitzplatz draussen mehmen mussten um dort essen zu können… Auch im Schlafzimmer gab es keine kleinen Nachttischlampen. Beim TV funktionerte das Internet nicht. Leider war nicht gut geputzt!!! Lampenschirme, kaputt und tote Fliegen darin, Toaster mit Essensresten, Backblech war speckig mit eingebrannter Sauce! nicht brauchbar😔

Der Bungalow liegt direkt am Hot Water Beach und ist toll ausgestattet. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt.

Ein Vormieter hatte in dem Backofen etwas verkokeln lassen, so dass dieser nicht nutzbar war. Das war offensichtlich bei der Reinigung nicht aufgefallen. Der Bungalow hat einen direkten Fußweg zum Strand. Der Garten ist schön jedoch auch sehr zugewachsen, so dass der Blick auf das Meer leider verwehrt bleibt. Entgegen der ausführlichen Informationen per mail im Vorfeld ist das benachbarte Hottie wirklich zu empfehlen. Auf einen Drink oder auch zum Essen. Korrekt ist, dass die nächste Einkaufsmöglich nur motorisiert erreicht werden kann.

Le cadre, la tranquillité mais avec quelques restaurants et activités à proximité

Great location

Bbq was dirty

Location is amazing and garden lovely to sit in and watch the birds. Great access to beach .

Would be useful to have bedside lamps for reading at night and a few basics/ treats would’ve been nice to have like milk / coffee tea bags . Also fan for hot nights as can’t open doors because of no mosquito screens.

Perfect location, perfect place

The jug is flaking in the bottom and need replacing

Private, clean and only a short walk to the beach. Cafe and bar nearby. Convenient for exploring the area.

Superbly designed apartment with its own beach access. You will not be sorry to stay here the garden is perfect too

Leaving

The private garden and direct access to the beach

Good location.

No tea bags.

Location was outstanding. Room and facilities clean and functional.

The electric kettle didn't work. Maybe some books and/or games might be an idea. Pretty stingy on the coffee sachets.

Loved the setting. Also, that it was so close to the beach.

No door on the toilet.

Loved the location, sweet little hide away garden & so close to the beach.

Unfortunately the bed was really hard, not a great sleep. The light above the bed was full of dust & fluff, plus the edges of the room.

Amazing place. Very relaxing and secluded. Beautiful views,

Shower tiles need a major clean with eximold. Shower curtain was a nuisance blowing towards you all the time. Didn't like the Shower at all. Bedroom needs a TV. And a microwave would be beneficial. A bit overpriced for what you get. Would benefit having a door mat to be able to wipe your feet before entering as the floors are all wood. Would also help to put a bin in the bathroom for toiletry items, as there's a bin for the spade.dont mean to pick on everything, but with the amount you pay. These are suggestions that will help people's stay more enjoyable. Thank you.

Absolutely beautiful location and very stylish.

Oven wasn't clean. No oven tray. Glasses weren't clean. One champagne flute, not two, better to have none. Otherwise great!

Great location right on the beach. It was private and pretty to wake up to in the morning.

Nothing

We went in mid-July - weather was sunny but chilly morning and night - similar to Christchurch. The facilities at the property are great - it is very modern and has been tastefully decorated. I can just imagine being there in the middle of summer with the big wide balcony sliders open, sitting on the deck in the comfortable chairs enjoying the property, the beach and facilities around. Bed was really comfortable, the shower was amazing, and the kitchen is really well laid out. Liked that the tv was a smart tv and had logins for netflix, prime and a few other channels (you don't get that very often, so great - it has sky sports so watched the All Blacks vs France 3rd match).

This was the first time we had ever been to Hot Water Beach, we were there in the middle of July so very wintery, we loved everything about the place, but just found the first night that the heating not sufficient for that time of the year - after first night we left the heating going all day (an modern oil type heater) and the room was very cosy and felt great (probably not economical though - sorry owners). Our only complaint though. In the summer or warmer weather this place would be idyllic and everything that a kiwi holiday house should be.

Loved the privacy, surrounded by so many trees and being so close to the beach, was wonderful

Modern facilities and great location

Bulb not working above kitchen sink, no bedside lamps, only one tea towel and one bath towel per person (due to high humidity, these stayed damp so a second would have been nice).

Close walk to the beach, very peaceful and private location. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom.

We stayed two weeks and we can recommend everyone to stay a few days. There are two houses and all our neighbours, who stayed only one or two nights, regretted it. The beaches in the area are all incredible. Beside the hot water beach you can reach the Hahei Beach and Cathedral Cove easily The rooms are very comfortable with the big glass front to the beautiful garden. It is equipped with everything we needed to cook. We slept like babys. With the curtains the bedroom gets very dark and it is almost completely silent. You can only hear the waves softly.

The internet was very slow and even breaking up shortly sometimes.

Lovely spacious property, well laid out and a fabulous location for hot water beach. Just a few steps through the garden snd you’re right on it! Wonderful to be able to sit outside and hear the waves.

Nothing! It was an amazing place to stay & they even supplied a spade!

Beautiful place. Absolutely perfect for visiting hot water beach. Loved the short access to the beach from this property.

It was so hot and it made it uncomfortable without being able to open the door or window as the mosquitos were terrible.

Ideally located apartment with garden access leading directly to the beach Fully equipped with all essential amenities Friendly and responsive host

Poor cleanliness Faulty door handle preventing the appartment door from locking properly A mosquito net would be a welcome addition

The location which is conveniently next to the hot water beach.

It is difficult to control the temperature in the house. It is too hot without windows open, and there are too many bugs inside the house with windows open.

Good location. Spacious, simple and stylish accommodation. Attractive garden area. Close to the beach, which is great for surfing ( but not so great or safe for swimming) . Digging a hot water pool at low tide a lot of fun.

Really lacked good lighting with rather dim central lights . Lamps would have made a real difference to the atmosphere and reading in the evening.

The location was great for the hot water beach. It has what we needed for any kind of cooking such as grill, dishes, tongs. However, there is no food in the area to buy for cooking. Lol. It's also relatively close to Catherdral cove. If you have a rental car it's only 12 min drive away. My wife and I were able to do the hot water beach in the morning and drive to do the 35-45 min hike in the next town for the Catherdral cove.

They need Air Conditioning. Leaving the windows open to cool off at night resulted in us getting too many Mosquito bites since screens are not a thing in NZ. Don't know how we missed that on the initial booking or we just assumed they would have A/C. If you are cooking there is nothing in the area so besite to bring it before you get into town. Or be prepared to drive 45 minutes in narrow winding roads. It should be be obvious but be ready for higher prices. They know it's a tourist destination so be ready for your dinning to be higher priced and small portions. This is understandable as the location is far from any large town and a taxing drive to get there.

Location

Oven and BBQ filthy , brought food to cook but couldn’t use the oven and BBQ for that reason. Entry door locking mechanism fell apart when entering, shower handle fell off when turning on.

This little villa was the perfect escape. We were so pleasantly surprised when we pulled in to see big, glass sliding doors, a deck to lounge on after a day at the beach. Nice big bathroom, a kitchen if you wanted to cook. There was a track directly out the front of the bure Wera leading straight to the beach. Super responsive and helpful host. Loved that the hosts had gone to the effort of writing up about the local area, local eateries and activities to do. Wish we could of stayed the whole week!

The plug and waste in the sink in the bathroom isn’t a push to drain. So we thought it was broken but it isn’t, there’s a method haha Panic messaged the host hoping it wasn’t broken but they were super responsive and helped us figure it out on what I believe was a public holiday. Definitely wish we packed some food as the restaurants were closed as we didn’t realise it was a public holiday.

The layout and location are excellent. Despite being close to the beach, our unit was very private. Great shower. We had a lovely time.

As other reviewers noted, the comforter had a stain and the unit is a bit tired and could use a deep cleaning. While not spotless, it was reasonably clean. Despite these minor negatives, I rate the property a 10 out of 10 due to bonus marks for the spectacular location and fabulous layout. Also, the host kindly let us check in one hour early.

Beautiful property, loved that it has its own walk way to the beach very helpful. Very lovely shower pressure.

Love the Bure Wera style and setting. It's just few minutes' walk to the hot water beach.

There is no insect mesh to prevent mosquitoes and other flying insects from entering, there are a few German cockroaches and spiders in the room.There is water leaking under the kitchen sink. Additionally, the wifi connection is unstable due to bad reception

Fantastic location. Property exceeded my expectations, very comfortable with everything you could need. Would highly recommend.

Great location, short walk from bedroom to the beach. Clean and modern, all the facilities you need.

Location. Private garden. Great design and space.

Maybe a bit of milk / bread supplied. Food shops locally are extremely limited.

Very modern, clean and private location, quiet and peaceful at night and direct beach access

Close to beach, relaxing

Lovely private setting with easy access to beach at back of property.

no microwave no milk

Great location

Lights didn’t work for kitchen area making food prep difficult. No milk provided would have been a helpful addition.

Close to the beach and private. The design of the place was lovely and open.

1. no milk in fridge (even long life milk would have been great as we landed in NZ and drove straight to Hot Beach) 2. would be nicer to have better linen (or doona - the one on the bed seemed a bit cheap) for such a nice place.

Well appointed accommodation. It felt like there was no one else around. Set in beautiful gardens with a very short walk to beach. I would recommend.

Everything

Hosts accomodating and location fabulous

The location was excellent. Birds singing in the trees and the beach only a short walk away.

I loved that it was like a 2 min walk to hot water beach and that house was clean, spacious and very comfortable.

There was nothing I didn’t like

Liked the privacy of the property

Wasn't very clean

Short walk to the hot Water Beach with a private path. There is a spade provided.

Lovely location

Entry a bit tricky for disability...no handrail/support for stairs

Modern, cozy and great location Beautiful gardens with awesome bird life Peaceful and relaxing
