Top South Head Hotel Reviews

Orewa Beachcomber

10/10 Excellent

"Nice motel which is a short walk from Orewa centre and directly across from beach. Our room was newly renovated and was spotless and spacious with everything you would need. Parking is a bit tight but adequate with street parking available if you have a large vehicle."

Marsden Suites Albany

8/10 Good

"Great stay in this clean apartment which had everything I needed for my stay. Quiet area and good parking."

Alpaca Manor

8/10 Good

"Staff very helpful and hotel is good value for money"

Historic Farm Cottage with spectacular harbour/rural views

10/10 Excellent

"If you are wanting to holiday far from the madding crowd but not a great distance out of Auckland then South Head is the spot. The first few days the southwester blew so we just hunkered down for some restful reading and relaxing, fed the chickens, and the quiet, dark nights (apart from the occasional bull roaring!) assisted a solid sleep. The weather settled for the grandsons to come for a couple of nights and we hiked further afield along the inlet shoreline and around the headland at low tide, even took in an early morning fishing expedition, disturbing a sleeping seal pup. Sharon and Neil are over in the farmhouse for any extra information including a yarn about the history of the property and what's happening at present on the farm. The bach is historic (which we loved) but has plenty of everything you need for a comfortable holiday. This place was perfect for us and we will be back."
