About this property

Stunning beach house within stone’s throw of the beach

Oceanside Cottage is just across the road from the beach. It is modern and clean and has everything you need for a fabulous Kiwi-style beachside holiday in one of New Zealand's most unique and beautiful locations.

Unique to Hot Water Beach are the naturally heated thermal springs which bubble to the sand's surface at low tide. At this time, armed with a spade, tourists and locals alike dig hot pools in the sand and soak in their own personal natural spa while gazing out onto the beach and its surrounds.

The beach is known for its fabulous breaks and the waves are great for boogie boarding as well as surfing. An estuary nestled into the side of the beach offers a swimming and paddling area for young children.

The surrounding area has a huge range of things to do for all ages including walking or catching a boat to the famous Cathedral Cove, playing golf, diving, fishing, kayaking, horse-riding and enjoying fine wine and food.
Special conditions:
No camping or extra guests please. No parking of any vehicle on the lawn. Car parking is for available for one car only (no motor homes)

Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen hire (Optional, NZ$10.00 per person); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

Nice place for three adults. Lovely outdoor area with a baby Q bbq, loungers and seating. Nice big master bedroom and comfy lounge. Kitchen and bathroom did the trick with the necessities. SO close to the beach you can check the conditions in your PJs

Exceptionally tidy and clean. Fantastic location.
Loved our holiday at this great property. Only thing missing for us was a coffee plunger but can’t complain as there was a Nespresso machine and capsules to go with. Will visit again.

Family Occasion
Location excellent, property very good, the only things that let down our stay was the bbq was in very bad repair and we were unable to use it. The inside shower had very poor pressure, we wanted to use the outside shower as an alternative but was very public.

Hot Water Beach holiday home
Clean, modern and well-appointed. Less than 30 seconds to the beach, although without a sea view. The house is private and surrounded by a nicely-kept coastal garden. Comfortable chairs inside and out for reading. We enjoyed our stay as a couple, and the house would also particularly suit a small family with primary school aged children.

Beautiful spot
Hot water beach is simply magical at night when there are no crowds. We were so happy we were able to enjoy several nights at this lovely cottage. The place was so comfortable and had a nice kitchen for cooking because we didn’t want to leave once we got there! Our favorite place to stay on our whole trip!
