Had a private room in the guest house which was small but comfortable. Guest house itself is big with good common areas and decent kitchen. Owner was super helpful in giving me things to do as I arrived quite late in the day.

Lovely accommodation in perfect location. Host was very welcoming and our room was perfect with amazing views. Comfortable bed and everything we needed. Great restaurants in walking distance.

Wonderful hosts!
Everything was great. Bed was very comfortable. Room was large (room 1), very clean and had everything we needed. Maria was very attentive and made us feel at home. Very nice breakfast with several choices available. You need a car to get to the main restaurants in town, boat trips etc, but the beach was only a few minutes walk away. Or you can kayak to the beach along the small river at the bottom of the garden (we didn’t, but other guests did).

Owner gave us such a lovely welcome with great suggestions to make Our Stay even better.
The 10% Discount at O’Malleys was used twice where we had 2 fantastic reasonably priced meals - beware the Portions are very large

We would highly recommend staying at Tairua Shores. The accommodation was clean, warm and well equipped with everything you might need for a stay in Tairua. My husband and I would definitely stay again.

Cute and cosy accommodation right by nice bars, restaurants and shops. Also close to beach and marina. The light breakfast provided in the room was a lovely touch. Rooms were clean and the owners were very friendly, accommodating and very knowledgable about exploring Whitianga and the surrounding area. Would definitely book to stay here again when visiting the Coromandel again.

Amazing place to stay. So peaceful and beautiful coastline - great for recovering from jet lag. David and Julie (owners) very friendly and helpful. Only complaint - should have stayed longer!

Very helpful staff. Lovely cosy room in amongst the trees. The dinner in the restaurant was also very good; however breakfast could be improved (pastries were stale and healthier options were limited)
