We loved our getaway at Tera del Mar. Teresa & Marshall were lovely hosts, who made us feel very welcome. The whole place has a lovely feel to it, beautiful gardens, a nice sauna & spa under the stars, and the Green Room had a very comfortable bed and great view. I highly recommend it.

In January 2013 I paid my second visit to Tera del Mar with my fiance. He'd heard a lot about it before we arrived in New Zealand and I hoped he wouldn't be disappointed. He wasn't! The approach along Rodney Road is breathtaking when you can see the sea on both sides of you and as you travel down the... More

Tera del Mar has a superb high position overlooking some wonderful countryside and out towards the distant and stunning Pakiri Beach. Lovely grounds and an impressive plantation-style house painstakingly built by the owner, Marshall. The enthusiastic and charming Teresa provides all the information ... and more... that one might want. Inside, the style and quality of the decor and furnishings... More

We passed my 70th(surprise) birthday here in this most beautiful country hotel. Theresa and Marshall are the friendliest (and incredibly efficent and discrete)) team. Views are fantastic and the breakfast is absolutely second to none.

During our visit to the North Island of New Zealand in January, 2013 we stayed at Tera del Mar. It was by far the most enjoyable experience of our entire trip. The property is fantastic from the rooms to the views. It sits on top of a hill surrounded by several acres of exquisitely landscaped grounds. The horses and sheep... More

First time staying at a B&B and this exceeded my expectations. Beautiful location and owners made our weekend away that much more special. Would highly recommend this place to stay as it is certainly a paradise! Lisa

They have thought of every little thing to make your stay perfect. The view is stunning and the... More

We were pleasantly surprised at the beautiful site, gorgeous view, and friendly hospitality at this bed and breakfast. Teresa and Marshall were gracious hosts who were always concerned about our needs. Teresa even offered to make some special tea for my wife who at one point had a stomach problem. We had a very relaxing, carefree time. We would love... More

Return visit after the first one after a family trip in 2011 and this time just as a couple, and it was just as I remembered--beautiful grounds with expansive vistas, comfortable room, delicious breakfasts, wonderful hosts.. I only wish we could have stayed more than one night, and I certainly hope we can come back before long.
