After 2 weeks of travel The Church gave us the re-boot that we needed. We had a cottage without a TV; it gave us the opportunity to read, relax and sleep in! In the attached cottages however, you can hear your neighbours but everyone was quite respectful. One bonus is they provide beach towels and spades if you plan to... More

The rustic cabins in hahei are set in a beautiful garden. Everything is so peaceful that you can only hear the birds singing. Each cabin has a balcony with some garden furniture, where one could sip wine or beer. The room is spacious

We stayed at The Church for the first two nights of our first trip to NZ. It was the perfect choice! There's a lovely beach in Hahei, a great walk to Cathedral Cove, a short drive to Hot Water Beach. It is a great place to relax and shake off the jet lag. We also left a valuable possession when... More

We made a great choice when we chose to spend six days at The Church Accommodation in a chalet with a small area of bush close by. A special feature was what appeared to be our own performing tui. This accommodation is very central for visiting sights around Cathedral Cove, Hahei, Whenuakite and Hot Water Beach. The stay was most... More

Hahei is one of our favourite destinations and "The Church" is a wonderful place to stay. It is always clean, quiet and comfortable in a beautiful garden setting. The staff are always so nice and helpful and make you feel so welcome. And unlike most other accommodation in NZ that want to charge you the earth, they have kept their... More

We stayed here recently for a friends wedding which was taking place on Cathedral cove beach. This is a great place to stay, lovely rooms, quirky and full of character. We loved the little gardens around each unit. This not a place for those who want characterless modern hotel rooms. The breakfast is well worth it, its rare to find... More

But again taps as every where we went in NZ, a reminescence oif the 50-ties. hjet tap and sput on the right and cold tap with sput on the left. It become after a while kinde of funny. Hot Water Beach recompesate for luck of... More

A set of cottages in the grounds of a church which has been converted to a restaurant provide good accomadation in this little NZ holiday town. There were complimentary Christmas Plums (a lovely sweet fruit tree that produces lots of purple fruit in time for Xmas) on the counter when we checked in, and the spades for digging a hole... More

I used to love to stay here 12 years ago when I lived in New Zealand and visiting again was a special treat. the only downside was that we couldn't stay longer. It is a wonderful, quiet place to stay and I have never stayed anywhere like it. The owners could not be more helpful and the separate cottage was... More
