Guest reviews for Hydrangea Cottages

2katts - 21/03/2026 19:26:02

"Rustic, quiet, huge bathroom, beautiful view, great location, and the laundry facilities were welcome and easy to use. Hosts were not present, but responded helpfully and quickly to emails."

"Not a negative, but meals need to be carefully planned. There are very few choices for eating out or buying groceries anywhere nearby. The kitchen in the cottage is very minimal. We appreciated the use of the BBQ. We were grateful for our own additional picnic supplies and bringing food that mostly didn't need to be cooked. Again... not a complaint, just a heads-up."

"The perfect little cabin with a stunning view. Just a short walk to the beach and the famous Punakaiki Pancake Rocks, it’s an ideal location for exploring the area. Peaceful, cozy, and surrounded by beautiful scenery, it’s an excellent place to relax."

"Aucun."

"Nothing"

"Very comfortable 2 bedroom cottage across the road from the beach."

"It could have used a bit more cooking utensils to prepare meals."

"Aucun."

"Very big and comfy apartment. Walkable to the pancake rocks (about 10 mins). Partial sea view from the apartment."

"Wifi and mobile connection was very spotty, but to be expected given the remoteness of the location and mentioned ahead of time. Host gives very clear instructions before check-in regarding property and surrounding area which is very helpful, but was very slow to respond to the messages on booking.com after check-in. Not a big deal, but something which could be improved for future guest experiences."

"The cottage was very tidy and comfortably furnished. We both enjoyed the ecostore bathroom products. My friend is low vision and found the cottage very accessible and floor coverings weren't slippery. We both enjoyed the windows over the beds - it was great to feel the fresh air at night and not worry about bugs."

"Aucun."

"It was a great little hidden gem and had all you could need. It was also very comfy and clean."

"The only things were the tap water was slightly brown and tasted metallic, but we just bought some water bottles. The shower mixer kept getting bumped but that's just a minor thing to do with my height (shorty here)."

Laura - 11/12/2025 17:31:46

"Very nice cottage, private deck with view of sea, close to pancake rocks and geysers."

"Aucun."

Ryan - 13/11/2025 07:40:39

"The location was easy to find, with clear signs along the road. Even though we had a large group, we were able to arrange accommodations quickly. The accommodations were clean, well-equipped, and the host was very welcoming; we all had a very enjoyable holiday."

Guest reviews

"Amazing views, super friendly staff, michelin quality food, great lodges and amenities"

Avis de Merve Huka Lodge

"I loved the location. We wanted to walk around and see the harbor and the villas, and were perfectly situated for that. We were close to but not too close to a very hip area to eat"

Avis de John Abaco on Jervois

"We were fortunate to stay in a superior suite with a significant upgrade - thanks to the manager dealing effectively with a ‘booking issue’."

"Friendly, clean and comfortable. Had everything for a great stay!"

Avis de Elaine Blenheim Palms Motel

"The fireplace was on when we got there. The owners were very friendly and helpful."

"Our stay at Te Awa was the perfect welcome to New Zealand. Our hosts provided a personal experience for us in the Bay of Islands. The setting couldn’t have been more spectacular on the banks of the river, and our room was very comfortable and peaceful. We enjoyed the pool each afternoon, following a day of exploring, and watched the moon rise each evening from the expansive deck. Breakfasts were delicious and prepared us for a day of activity. We appreciated every recommendation provided by Martin and Joelson. They definitely set the bar for the rest of our time in New Zealand. If you have the chance to stay here, we couldn’t recommend it more highly!"

Avis de Debbie Te Awa Lodge

"We arrived late but they put the key in the door and turn the lights on for us. It was clean and basic just what we needed for one night on the road. We got a little more than we expected. It was a good value for the money the staff was very friendly and helpful."

"A beautiful view of Caroline Bay and the port from our room."

"Rooms were bright and pleasant. The staff was kind and helpful. We needed a place to stay unexpectedly due to an injury and they accommodated our decreased mobility with grace."
