Self-Catering Accommodations in Tarakohe

This was such an amazing stay. The setup makes it feel like you have an entire house. The indoor/outdoor lifestyle is fantastic. It all feels so clean. The birds sound beautiful and you can hear the ocean from the property. Incredible stay.

As a solo traveller, this place was a true paradise for me. The actual setting is even more beautiful than the photos I saw online before my stay. Once I settled in, I immediately felt surrounded by the love the hosts have poured into this place — the welcoming nature, the serene warmth, and the strong sense of privacy, even around the outdoor shower. It felt wonderful. There are some small instructions to follow, but they’re all very clear and easy. The property itself feels like an attraction, so it’s worth coming a little earlier to enjoy everything it offers. If your schedule is fully packed and you only want a place to sleep, you might find the instructions a bit inconvenient. This is really a place for people who want to slow down, soak in the beautiful nature, and spend time enjoying the lovely garden and the birds around. There is a stream next to the tent, and you can hear it throughout the day and night. The hosts provide earplugs, but it wasn’t a problem for me at all — in fact, I slept extremely well, recharged by the energy of nature.

Great location, super nice owners, and beautiful apartment with an awesome view of the Golden Bay. Our stay was absolutely unforgettable. The surroundings were breathtaking—every view looked like a postcard. The atmosphere was peaceful and rejuvenating, and the attention to detail made everything feel so warm and inviting. We left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already dreaming of coming back.”

The views were even better in person! What a wonderful deck on the hill to enjoy the views in all directions. The place was extremely clean, modern, and had everything we needed. The host was also very responsive and helpful. We would definitely return again in the future!

Beautiful large home with the most stunning views!Short walk to the beach. Had a great lunch at Molly B’s and enjoyed the live entertainment at the other cafe on the beach. Would highly recommend staying here. By far our best spot on our two week tour of the South Island.

Amazing location, right across the road from the beach and only a short walk to Molly B's pub and restaurant. Beautiful views and everything we needed for a lovely relaxed stay.

The property is beautifully situated and appointed, no expense has been spared to deck it out in full glamping luxury. It boasted a beautiful view out across the bay and all the major amenities and smaller touches were perfectly on point. The eggs provided were delicious and we enjoyed cooking on the BBQ. The shower and baths had plenty of hot water and great pressure, so we enjoyed several long bathing sessions. The decor is modern and cosy, with plenty of coffee table books to keep us occupied. We enjoyed meeting the owner and had a good chat with Drew, who was very welcoming and helpful. Comms with Jana ahead of our stay were great too. It was the perfect spot for our baby-moon and a real treat. Best accommodation I've ever stayed in Golden Bay, would stay again in a heartbeat for our next special occasion and highly recommend to friends and family.

Great. Our kid enjoyed many toys available.

Awesome location. New house, nice people.

Close to beach!! Typical beach pad. Great owner! Right by Molly B’s excellent GF place to eat.

The setting, the facilities, the cleanliness, the communication.
