"Such a great place to stay for visiting Hot water Beach as well as cathedral rock. They have towels and spades for your use, and maps. We walked to Cathedral Rock and it was a great walk. The Church bistro next to the property is outstanding. Reservations recommended. Also right across the street is kayak rental and a pub very close by. Room is really well appointed and the amenities are great. Our room was quite private and peaceful(1 bedroom cottage)."

"The room was super cute and the amenities in our studio were better than I expected. The onsite laundry was a big plus.
The location is great - a couple blocks to the beach, not far from the Cathedral Cove track, and a ten minute drive to Hot Water Beach. There’s also a store and cafe next door. Highly recommended."

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).

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.

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!

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.

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)
