Very helpful staff. Lovely cosy room in amongst the trees. The dinner in the restaurant was also very good; however breakfast could be improved (pastries were stale and healthier options were limited)

We would highly recommend staying at Tairua Shores. The accommodation was clean, warm and well equipped with everything you might need for a stay in Tairua. My husband and I would definitely stay again.

Amazing place to stay. So peaceful and beautiful coastline - great for recovering from jet lag. David and Julie (owners) very friendly and helpful. Only complaint - should have stayed longer!

Lovely clean cabin a stone throw away from a superb beach. For a busy beach resort it was very quiet at night. Excellent bar and food on resort site

Owner gave us such a lovely welcome with great suggestions to make Our Stay even better.
The 10% Discount at O’Malleys was used twice where we had 2 fantastic reasonably priced meals - beware the Portions are very large

Wonderful hosts!
Everything was great. Bed was very comfortable. Room was large (room 1), very clean and had everything we needed. Maria was very attentive and made us feel at home. Very nice breakfast with several choices available. You need a car to get to the main restaurants in town, boat trips etc, but the beach was only a few minutes walk away. Or you can kayak to the beach along the small river at the bottom of the garden (we didn’t, but other guests did).

This has been one of our best stays in new zealand so far .
The owner was very friendly, took us to our room and explained everything to us , unlike some places give you a key and you find your way .
The views were beautiful.
Would stay again and definitely recommend 😀
