Lovely and clean when we arrived. Great location with a 5 min walk to Williamson Reserve for us at Beachop. Has a covered deck out the back which we made use of with the wet weather. Has a fireplace if you wish to use as well. Cole is a great host and easy to deal with. Thank you again and see you next year.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautifully renovated batch - you can truly feel the love and dedication that has gone into making it exceptionally comfortable for guests. We especially loved the deck, which had everything we needed to relax and unwind. The location is perfect - just a 5–7 minute walk to the main beach, yet tucked away in a peaceful, quiet area. And the host - Cole - is absolutely outstanding - attentive, warm, and incredibly helpful. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!!!

About the host

Hosted by Cole

Host profile image

I'm an ocean and mountain lover and Te Koha is my dream. I hope you have as many happy and memorable times there as I have.

Why they chose this property

It's so typically Kiwi and just like our people, it's humble, honest and opens its heart to you from the moment you arrive.
As part of my dream, for every night you stay, we gift a night to children who cannot afford this Kiwi iconic experience. That's why it's called Te Koha. Thank you for your contribution.

What makes this property unique

Everybody talks about the outside hot shower (we haven't used the inside one for 5 years), the outside fire to toast marshmallows and the 4 min walk to the beach. You decide :-)
