The owners are incredibly kind and gracious, as well. They invited us to their nearby home for delicious drinks and food shortly after our arrival. They are deeply committed to sharing Maori cultural traditions with their guests.

Different from most places you stay. The staff were most friendly and went out of their way to make this a memorable place to stay. The room/unit had everything you need and breakfast was provided. The homemade jams were wonderful especially the marmalade. It was a no rush, relaxing stay and we would certainly recommend it to people looking for something a little different. ##### Alan Stayed 1 night in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### ACute Little Cottage A wonderful place to stay. We were warmly greeted by our hosts who invited us up to their home for drinks and nibbles and we left an hour later! Many stories changed hands. The next day we put our long line out on the beach and caught a couple of snapper which Miria and Taroi invited us to cook on their BBQ. We of course invited them to share the fish with us and so with salad and potatoes cooked by them ,we once again enjoyed another couple of hours before enjoying a dip in their hot pool. A truly memorable stay in a lovely cottage with the tuis in the trees outside our door. Magic! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 12 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice B&B close to the beach.

It is beautifully decorated and charming. The quality and attention to detail is superb - the homemade jams in the refrigerator were especially noted. The bed was very comfortable; it was great falling asleep to the sound of the surf breaking on the beach. Miria and Taroi are fabulous hosts; they treat you as one of their family and really make you feel welcome and comfortable. Our stay here was the highlight of our trip around East Cape; we will definitely stay there again next time we visit Ohope. Highly recommended, especially for couples looking for a romantic getaway. ##### Thomas ### 10/10 Excellent #### Al, cromwell nz 22 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### All good Had a great time at the beach Lovely people Nice little cottage ##### Al ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cath, New Zealand 20 Nov 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fabulous hosts, and a great location We spent two nights at Moanarua Beach cottage. The location is gorgeous and the cottage is perfect, with everything you need to hunker down or use as a base to explore the Eastern Bay. What really makes it though is Miria and Taroa, we had a fabulous evening with them and another visitor, plenty of laughs all round. Don't forget to try Miria's homemade jams... just delicious!

Would definitely stay again. ##### Karen and Tony ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 17 Mar 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Strandnähe und sehr familiär Die Unterkunft liegt sehr nah zum Strand, Restaurants und Supermärkte sind jedoch nicht in der Nähe. Fürs Abendessen sind wir nach Whakatane rübergefahren, dort ist deutlich mehr los als in Ohope. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und interessiert. Bei der von uns gewählten Unterkunft im Haus schläft man offenbar im kleinen Zimmer der ausgezogenen Tochter. Man hat eine kleine eigene Toilette gegenüber, teilt sich aber die Dusche mit den Gastgebern. Wenn man Wert auf Privatsphäre legt, ist diese Unterkunft daher nicht die richtige Wahl. Das Frühstück war auch eher überschaubar. Aus unserer Sicht war die Unterkunft für die gebotene Leistung (kleines Zimmer, kein eigenes Bad am Zimmer, mittelmäßiges Frühstück) leicht überteuert. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Jan, Wisconsin 14 Mar 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Our first night in NZ. The hosts were very hospitable. We arrived in NZ a day later than planned and later in the day than we would have liked, so we didn't arrive at the cottage until 10 p.m. They waited for us and then brought us supper because we hadn't eaten. This cottage is in the basement of their home and does not have any ocean view, but it is private, spacious and has a great bathroom! They were a very nice couple and we wish we had had more time to chat with them. ##### Jan ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fernanda Marin, Sao Paulo - Brazil 17 Dec 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cosy room Very familiar place to stay, it is the home of a very nice couple, they treated us very well. Very close to the beach! Only thing is that the internet does not work in the room downstairs (honey moon suite). ##### Fernanda Marin ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wayne Jocelyne, France 28 Nov 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Oustanding hospitality in a beautiful location This well-equipped and comfortable cottage is ideally located just across the road from the beach. Expect a warm welcome and wonderful hospitality from hosts Miria and Taroi. Highly recommended. ##### Wayne Jocelyne ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jake, Florida, USA 25 Nov 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great experience as well as stay! It is quite refreshing to stay in a place that the owners take so much pride in and it is immediately apparent that these do once you arrive. We arrived in the early evening hours and found the cottage all fixed up and ready to go. The location was absolutely perfect for access to the beach, local restaurants and activities. We found the cottage very clean and tidy but also came with snacks, nibbles and a personally written letter welcoming us To the cottage. They also provided their personal contact details in case we had any questions or issues; which we did not. We were also fortunate enough to have a great evening conversation with the owners that added to the experience. I will have to say it was like meeting with old friends from the start. I wholeheartedly recommend The Moanarua Beach Cottage for all to enjoy. ##### Jake ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samantha 1 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Samantha Stayed 1 night in Sep 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels near Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Maldives-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d109-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [3HB Clube Humbria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-3HB-Clube-Humbria-All-Inclusive.h1404696.Hotel-Information) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [Palmariva Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Palmariva-Villas.h28800499.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Side Star Park - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Side-Hotels-Side-Star-Park-All-Inclusive.h11701143.Hotel-Information) > > [Golf Hotels in Warner](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warner-Hotels-Golf-Hotels.0-0-d6060368-tGolfHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Rainforest Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Rainforest-Retreat.h7088168.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Parking in Gatwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hotel-With-Parking.0-0-d182523-thotelwithparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Singapore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Singapore-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d3168-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ibis Styles Nice Centre Gare](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-Nice-Centre-Gare.h10921598.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Cenang Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cenang-Beach-Hotels.0-l6169310-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Berneray Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Berneray-Beach-Hotels.0-l6089015-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Filoxenia Hotel Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Filoxenia-Hotel-Apartments.h6002301.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Bishop's Stortford (STN) to Sant Josep de sa Talaia (IBZ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/stn/ibz/london-to-ibiza) ### Cars ### Activities > [Things to do in Saadiyat Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Saadiyat-Island.d6268739.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Tirano](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Tirano.d6125271.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Zaton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Zaton.d6122892.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Tamraght](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Tamraght.d6251797.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages ---
