New Zealand cabins

I wish our holiday was longer. Perfect weather, perfect location and a camping ground feel but with our fury family member in tow. Easy communication with Jess and walking distance to the beach and town. We would definitely stay again.

Pete's place is a lovely hideaway nestled in beautiful native bush. The house is cute and quirky with amazing views from the deck and bed! Per the description, there are a number of stairs from the car to the house through the bush, so pack lightly (it's not terrible, but you wouldn't want to carry the kitchen sink). There are a few lovely walks to do from the house including down to their local stony beach, and a wonderful sandy beach only 5-10 mins drive away. Bathroom facilities are in immaculate condition, kitchen is well kitted out, and Pete was a wonderful host. We stayed 2 nights, but could have easily stayed 4 or more to really settle in and explore the area.

We had a wonderful time here. The house was clean, cozy and cute, and the location is absolutely stunning. I do think it’s important to note that there was a pamphlet in the cabin which had a pretty heavy emphasis on the hosts’ Christian faith. As a queer couple, this was a little uncomfortable for us. Personally, I feel that it would be more professional to keep business and religion seperate. However, the hosts were very polite and helpful and definitely didn’t make us feel uncomfortable at all in person. I couldn’t fault anything else - we really enjoyed our time here and would stay again.

We were welcomed by Gordon and his lovely wife with some freshly baked cookies and a very warm welcome. The property is absolutely stunning and makes you feel like you're far away from everything with the sound of the river flowing, bird song and surrounded by lush bush, the best part is town is only a 5 min drive away. If you are looking for a place to ground yourself and unwind from city life this is the place to go, it's only a cruisy 3 hour drive from Auckland and the scenery only gets better the closer you get. The cottage is cosy, warm and kitted out with everything you need with cooking facilities, BBQ and super comfy bed. They even went the extra mile with some complimentary beverages not to mention the delicious warm cookies (we turned up just at the right time). We highly recommend staying here 😊 treat yourself!

I loved this place! It had charm, character, privacy, quiet, wildlife. Felt like I was living alone in the NZ bush, yet it was close to beach, transportation. Hosts provided fresh fruit, vegetables upon arrival. Hosts were gracious, responsive. I’d stay there again and I will recommend it to friends.

Really lovely experience to have the indoor/outdoor flow and the separate areas for living room and bathroom. Much better than being stuck in a motel room! Beatiful gardens and easy access to everything in Coromandel Town.

The Shepards Hut is absolutely beautiful and the bath was brilliant. Scott and Shona are very lovely. Thank you for your hospitality! You guys did a fantastic job on the place!
