Seaforth Pacific - Holiday retreat - Beach & Bush

“This is a gem of a bach. A fabulous mix of comfy old time New Zealand surrounds, with a luxury veranda to completely relax and enjoy. Beach and bush an added bonus. Welcoming and friendly hosts.”

“Loved this place, fireplace wonderful , peaceful and relaxing”

“What a great spot! We would like to of stayed longer - especially on the verandah! House could do with a good clean though!”

“Bach is in the most wonderful location. Lovely grass area to play on, great walks, your own beach and a lovely wide verandah to relax on. Peaceful, private and relaxing and only a few minutes drive to Orewa.”

“A lovely location and character filled bach, full of old books and magazines and charm. We appreciate it is old but it could have been a bit cleaner....food, clothing and underwear from previous guests was not the best.
Our children loved the home, the bush setting and the beach. Nearby Hatfields is a great beach for young children. Many thanks”

“A wonderful place to get away from it all, relax on the verandah, cosy up by the fire, eat lots and get some fresh air at the great beach and in the amazing garden. Kids loved it too, wish we could have stayed forever. Thanks”

“What a great place: very easy to relax here, even mid winter!”

“too many good things about this stately property and charming old cottage to list... but our winter stay was made perfect by a roaring fire and plenty of firewood, an enclosed verandah (a great suntrap in the morning) and a lovely bath.”

“Walking into Seaforth Cottage is like stepping back into the 1930's. Very original. Idyllic setting with steps down to private beach.”

“Wonderful, colonial style Bach with fantastic grounds and simply beautiful private beach. Quirky and full of charm inside. Great views across to Orewa and a brilliant location for exploring the Rodney District and beyond.”

“A gorgeous old fashioned bach in a fantastic spot. We loved having the beach to ourselves each morning. We wqere actually in the area for a wedding at Wenderholm Regional Park and it was very hand being so close to that as well as to Orewa and Waiwera. Just trying to figure out when we can come back again for longer!”

“What a fantastic place , I call it "food for the soul"surrounded by such beautiful nature you can't help but clear your mind. My two kiddies (under 5) had ample to keep them busy even though the weather was rather miserable. We happened upon the Puhoi farmers market which was just of the many attractions in close proximaty. we loved it loved it loved it .”

“What a beautiful place to spent the holidays, we loved the beach and the bush. The only downside is that we didn't have enough time to spend there! But we appreciate the two days and we had a very good time. Thanks again, Rob,Ilse,Lisa & Sophie.”

“Seaforth Cottage has an old world charm set beside beautiful bush. We enjoyed the birds and the garden.
It was lovely to walk down to a private beach also.”

“Had a great long weekend, really enjoyed the privacy, seclusion, bird life, open fire and comfotable surroundings”

“We had a fantastic weekend - what a lovely house to relax in. Truth to tell though, we were hardly inside - we spent most of our time relaxing on the well furnished verandah. What a life! Thanks so much. Beautiful spot.”

“We really enjoyed it - disappointed it is already booked out for next summer.”

“Great place just to get away, very relaxing, loved the covered in deck.”

“Lovely setting especially over summer months. Ideal for family with young children. Lovely open fire for cold evenings. Very olde world. Very convenient to local attractions.”

“Seaforth is a step back in time. Kids of all all ages will love the beach and the bush walks that surround the cottage. It's out of the way enough to give you privacy and yet only a 5min drive into town. Even though it was late winter, we all really enjoyed our stay!”

“This is a great place to spend a family holiday. Our children loved the little beach and playing coits on the verandah. The stormy winter weather was a challenge for us all but have given the children some real adventures to talk about.”

“Thanks Cynthia - for such a warm welcome, and the cakes of course.
Your bach was a great place to stay for us and the kids - we all loved it.
We hope to be back soon.

Thanks again

Mark, Sara, Adam & Zoe”

“a delightful cosy comfortable place to stay to rest and relax - highly recommended”

“please see previous feedback.”

“The location of this bach is fantastic, great bush walks leading to a private beach. If you want to get away from it all this would certainly give the opportunity for that.”

“Had a great short stay would love to come back again for longer.”

“An absolutely incredible spot - we loved the authentic old world charm of the homestead and the native bush setting and birdlife is idyllic. And of course, the private beach! It was just perfect for our winter "getaway" but we'll definately be back in summer too.”

“The cottage is the best example of the comfortable old style kiwi batch I think I have ever stayed in. The lovely wide verandah, big lawn and private little beach is a perfect setting for a family holiday. And so close to the city! It makes getting away for the weekend so easy!”

“Lovely old cottage with a great verandah. Just the spot to laze about on if it is raining. Also easy access to the little beach. So close to Orewa & Waiwera but you feel as if you are far away from everything. We just loved it and will definitely be back. Just how a bach holiday should be.”

“Very charming and rustic house in beautiful garden location. Hard to believe it is so close to Auckland.”
