Thank you so much. Our group of 4 adults really enjoyed the long weekend at your accommodation. Your recommendation for dinner at the restaurant/cafe right next door was perfect for our small group.We enjoyed our stay.

Lovely quiet villa

Situated in such a tranquil spot but so close to hot water beach and only about 20mins to Whitianga. The place is surrounded by olive trees and it is very clean and comfy. All amenities you could need. We would stay again.

A bit of paradise at the Hacienda

Wonderful stay. The hosts were very kind and thoughtful. The pictures really do not fully communicate how beautiful the property is. She very kindly supplied shovels, towels and umbrellas for hot water beach!

Very clean and welcoming environment. Fab views from the upstairs picture windows. Comfy bed, plenty of hot water and towels etc., and the host was very welcoming. Make sure to follow all the clear directions to the apartment provided by the host and you won’t end up at the neighbours Beautiful area to visit, we highly recommend. Thank you Tracey

Heavenly Hacienda

Our upstairs apartment was spacious with a lounge, dining area, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and its own balcony with chairs and table. It was well equipped, comfortable and full of character. The location is excellent, handy to Hahei, Cathedral Cove, Hotwater Beach and the landing. Our hostess was friendly and generous. We rate it as one of the best we have ever stayed in and will definitely stay there again.

Still great

We stayed here at Easter time and really enjoyed it, so we decided to come back for longer this time. It’s such a good spot, it’s so close to Tairua, Hahei and Whitianga and still plenty to do when it’s raining. Tracey is a fabulous host, you can’t want for anything as she has thought of everything. It is also so clean and spotless!

Wonderful, quaint, peaceful, beautiful, tidy, stylish too

We had a wonderfully peaceful getaway here. The environment is absolutely calm and peacerful, with lush greenery all around, and the Hot Water beach and wonderful places to discover, eat and drink very nearby. The Hacienda was beautiful, neat and tidy, and thoughtfully decorated and equipped. Dave and Tracey are amazing. A beautiful hideout for people stressed out from city life. We enjoyed every minute of our trip and hope to return again.

So clean and tidy!

We stayed here for 2 nights over Easter. It was such a lovely place for a get away. The place was incredibly clean and tidy and it was a perfect size for our family. It has absolutely everything you need. It was a lovely rural spot with beautiful fruit trees but a close drive to Hahei, Whitianga and Tairua. Tracey is a great host and very easy to deal with. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a great stay.

Homely and scenic stay in a great location!

We had a great stay at La Hacienda, the home itself was clean and well stocked with lots of thoughtful touches throughout. We loved the grounds and the sunsets were out of this world. Tracey and Dave were lovely hosts and gave us some great recommendations when asked. We had issues with our hire car so arrived a day late and it was nice to have friendly faces on our arrival. The place itself is located down a long driveway off the main highway (though you don’t get the traffic noise), and was a short drive to hahei, hot water beach and other scenic locations.

Awesome homebase

The apartment was well appointed, all the right stuff and nothing that we didn’t need. We really appreciated that they split one of the King beds for our kids to sleep on- made the stay very comfortable. Going to the beaches, especially Hot Water beach! Ferry to town was easy and it’s a cute town. Buy groceries on your way in if you want to cook while there- we didn’t realize, but all the restaurants were lovely.

Coromandel stay

We stayed here for 3 nights at the end of February 2023 and unreservedly recommend it. The accommodation was of excellent quality, tastefully as well as appropriately appointed and beautifully located. Quiet and rural and just a short drive from Ha Hei and Hot Water beaches. Forestry trails can be accessed from the farm for running or walking. Tracey was an excellent host - concerned when we were late in arriving, but unobtrusive. We thoroughly recommend La Hacienda.

Wonderful stay at La Hacienda

Our stay at La Hacienda was delightful. Tracey welcomed us warmly as we arrived. The unit was very well appointed, roomy with a full dining and living area along with a quaint deck to enjoy our morning coffee while watching the sun come up. The kitchen suited our needs quite well. One of our favorite touches was the shovels and beach towels Tracey left for us to use on our jaunt over to Hot Water Beach. Couldn’t have asked for more! We highly recommend a stay at La Hacienda for your next visit to the Coromandel.

Wonderful Mexican style bach

The bach was well set up and equipped(even had spades for Hot Water Beach). It was very clean and comfortable. The Mexican style of the property works and suits its environment. Tracey was a really friendly host and made us feel very welcome. We were able to wander the grounds and help ourselves to the ripe fruit in the garden. We were sorry that we had to move on after 3 nights.
