Sunlit Bay Villas

There’s a million dollar view from the deck and windows looking onto Coopers Beach. Wake to the sound of crashing waves each day. Quality furniture and full kitchen, oven, dishwasher, bedding, towels, tea, coffee, bathroom goods, laundry, EVERYTHING!! Walk the beach to the local shop’s & coffee if you feel like it. The owners are also very kind and helpful. Highly recommend Sunlit Bay Villlas.

A warm welcome from our hosts and then a beautiful lodging over the beach in a really special location.

Schöner Zugang zum Strand, geräumig und sehr ordentlich - sehr nette Vermieter

der obere Bereich bekommt leider etwas Strassenlärm ab (die Terrasse/Schlafzimmer unten nur die herrliche Brandung und Zikadengeräusche … also eigentlich alles ok

Sehr schöne Lage direkt am Strand. tolle Aussicht und gut eingerichtetes Appartment.

너무나 친철하고 아름다운 숙소였습니다. 다시 방문하고 싶어요.

뜨거운물 사용에 제한이 있습니다. 물탱크를 쓰기 때문에 뜨거운물양에 정해져 있어요. 두명정도 샤워히면 뜨거운물이 나오지 않아요.

Sunlit villas was an incredible place to stay... looking over coopers beach- unreal views and perfect for a dip in the ocean on your doorstep. Immaculate and clean, with lovely hosts thank you for making our stay welcoming . Would recommend again. Thanks very much

An exceptional beachfront stay. The property was immaculate, beautifully designed, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. The views were breathtaking — the kind that make you immediately wish you’d booked longer. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was pure luxury. Despite its position on the main road, the property was remarkably quiet and peaceful. Norma and Alistair were outstanding hosts — warm, attentive, and genuinely generous with their time and help. A truly special place that we wouldn’t hesitate to return to.

Nothing, we loved it!

Amazing location nestled in amongst pohutakawa trees with the waves visible below. Lovely comfortable accommodation.

Everything was great for us.

Where do I start. So much thought went into the villa we stayed in. It literally had everything you could need. We were very comfortable. The views are stunning. The water pressure and temp are amazing. The beds and the couches are comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with things you might need.

There was nothing we did not like. We would definitely come back.

Excellent location and beautiful and clean

The caretakers were very lovely, the view/location was stunning.

The furniture was uncomfortable and oversized, there were no extra pillows and for the price we paid, I expected to have my own laundry facility. I did laundry in the shared facility twice, and both times, my laundry was taken out and someone else had placed theirs in the dryer instead. My 14 year old could not fit into the single bed as well.

Beautifully renovated, overlooking the beach. Comfortable bed although duvet possibly a little too thick, good shower. Hosts were very nice and welcoming, they had the rugby test ready to go for us on the good Quality big screen TV. Good coffee spot just up the road.

Nothing. Wouldn’t really recommend the Mangonui fish and chip restaurant. Extremely expensive for what it was.

Great place to relax Get away from everything Clean, modern Great!

Sehr geschmackvolle und hochwertige Einrichtung

Beautifully redecorated, amazing sea views and the sound of the waves at night are so soothing! The kitchen is well stocked and there is sky tv as well. The beds are so comfortable and the linen is fresh and luxurious. Norma and Ian were very helpful and easy to communicate with.

Nothing not to like here.

Wonderful hosts; spectacular view and position

The villa is emaculate, stylish and comfortable. There is a playground within walking distance, and a literal 1 min walk to the beach - which the kids loved. We could hear the waves and had an amazing view of the ocean. The owners are super friendly and helpful. The location is a perfect spot between the shops in Coopers Beach and Mangonui.

What a fabulous place. We had Villa 1 and the views were spectacular! One way the beach, the other was through a huge beautiful pohutakawa. The beds were super comfy, roomy lounge, huge TV, very well appointed kitchen and truly AMAZING shower with great water pressure. Hosts were so kind and full of fun! Everything is new, so very tidy! Easy access to beach with a hose to wash your feet upon return! Highly recommended, even in winter it would be great and cozy!! We had the most stunning sunset on arrival!

Nothing!

We had a fantastic stay here, the view from the villa was incredible! Norma was lovely and made us feel right at home. The facilities were great, the villa was clean and cosy. Having steps right down to the beach was a bonus for an early morning walk. Our boys particularly liked having the freedom to explore and also making a little friend....Bob the cat. If you are looking for a base to explore the Northland, Sunlit Bay Villas is perfect!

Wonderfully peaceful location with great views and easy beach access down the stairs. Lovely hosts and the villa had everything we needed for our stay.

A gorgeous, newly renovated apartment style unit—spotlessly clean, with stunning ocean views. The check-in process was seamless, and the host was incredibly welcoming. It was the perfect stop on our road trip to Maitai Bay and the Kerikeri Peninsula (highly recommend making the short 30-minute drive north from here!). That said, Coopers Beach, right in front of the hotel, is absolutely breathtaking as well.

Location and how cozy and comfortable it was

Was quiet hot upstairs but nothing the fan and or aircon couldnt sort out

Very clean, amazing first line view, super friendly staff.

This is a lovely property in a prime location. All units have beachfront outlooks through the branches of an ancient pohutukawa. The managers were extremely hospitable and helpful. They even shared produce from their garden. The sheets and towels were high quality and the cleanliness was of a high standard. Would definitely recommend

Beautiful property with amazing views - really comfortable beds and well thought out units. Norma and Al are wonderful hosts and nothing is too much trouble.

Nothing to not like

Norma was fantastic and the property brilliant. We will definitely be back. Perfect for our family.

outstanding view, even from growing up there stil coming back and seeing that from your deck is amazing :)

it is a pricey stay per night but do think you should splurg every now and then and this was one of those things to do so.

Loved the spot! norma and alistair were lovely ! The place was perfect . Loved the sound of waves to go to sleep and wake up to.

Only thing wrong is value for money, but thats new zealand prices they are no more expensive than anywhere else that provides the same or even less quality. Thanks team!

Lovely place to stay

Location

Nothing

The beds were super comfortable., the cottage was newly refurbished (beautifully done) and the managers very friendly and helpful. Superb view and easy access to the beach , down the stairs, through the pohutukawas.

Nothing

We were met by our hostess, and a calming sounds of the sea. Given the heat during our travel to get to Mangonui, the stay was healing and discreetly private (we were'nt isolated) We were within close proximity to our extended whanau too which was a plus. Cleanliness was excellent Thank you for your manaakitanga (hospitality and care).

Was not a long enough stay, we can fix that next time. Couldnt find the reception area, however it was explained that the villas have been refurbished, and new sign regarding reception is on its way soon.

Awesome place Clean and everything you want And Awesome veiws With a short walk to the beach

Great location on the beachfront. The views were stunning and the hosts (Norma and Al) were very friendly and helpful. The property was very clean and comfortable.

Located right above the beach. Nice deck overlooking view. Hosts were super friendly and helpful!
