It means whomever is sleeping in the en-suite bedroom should be prepared for people from the other room to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, or people should know they have to walk over to the other building. Otherwise it was fantastic and better than advertised. ##### hillary h.

The house is so well designed with the separate areas for living, sleeping and outside entertainment/BBQ. The views are to die for and the location was great. Cable Bay had everything we needed, supermarket, takeaway, petrol etc and even though we were there in the middle of a cyclone we were comfortable and well supplied. The only issues we had were that the TV wasn't working and the bedsheets were too small for the bed. Neither of which made our stay any less enjoyable. Would definitely recommend Tirohanga - Beach House. ##### Bridgette W.

We we did not like at all was the security camera in the kitchen, dining and lounge. The camera lights were sometimes on - that’s how we spotted it. That is not compliant with NZ laws - the owner did not inform about it. There is no written hint, not on bookabatch, not in the description in the house, not mentioned by the owner verbally. Please be aware of it. Cheers, Volker ##### Volker K. Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### ANDREW 21 Feb 2026 Liked: Amenities, communication Overall we had an enjoyable stay at Tirohanga. There were many positives. The main house (built prior to the bedroom areas) is superb; even on a wet day it is a joy to spend time there. The kitchen is v well equipped, there's some lovely seating areas, and the views are largely lovely (though also see below). We did have some difficulty with the key to the bedroom area but David the host came out to help. He was also v good at responding to queries both before and during our stay. I did manage to effectively lock us in at one point as I allowed the side gate to bolt from the outside. A schoolboy error but maybe a bit of a design fault too. I had to find an ingenious way of getting out and reopening it. We did think the second build comprising the bedrooms was a bit 'cold' and pokey. The main reason though why we objectively feel a couple of marks must be deducted is the adjoining property. It's a bit of a mess, and is quite an eyesore. Someone has obviously bought the plot, but then filled it with their caravan, multiple metal trailers, old cars, an old boat, and lots of wood and metal etc. It's not always in your eye-line, but it certainly is if you want to enjoy the late afternoon sun, and you're looking at it from the main bedroom. It didn't spoil things, but it does mean unfortunately we can't give the place a 4 or 5 rating. ##### ANDREW Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 1 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely place Such a lovely lace for a quiet get away.

The views are amazing, we even spotted dolphins from the window. The separation between bedrooms and living area was great and meant no-one had to be quiet while others were in bed. We didn't have any issues but David was easy to get in touch with if we did. ##### Fiona M.
