This is a great place to stay at Te Horo Beach if you want to get away from it all. Cleverly designed building and well outfitted. The heat pump was fantastic to keep out a muggy night with mosquitoes. Comfortable beds and good showers and a full and well equipped kitchen. Lovely views of mountains and the sea. I wouldn’t recommend it for small children or anyone who has trouble with stairs, as the staircase is quite steep. We also found the drive quite challenging- if you aren’t confident backing it might be worth parking on the street and walking up. The owner was very responsive. It’s also in easy driving distance to the shops, cafes and walks at Otaki and Waikanae.

Lovley perfect house for my partner and I. Set up well and a great 360 view, Karen was very helpful and easy to speak with. Would love to stay again.

We stayed Friday to Sunday. The lighthouse exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful, warm, comfortable, clean and even though it rained all day Saturday we were able to watch it from the comfort of the living room curled up watching movies. The owner’s communication was excellent and very thoughtful in what she supplies at the house. All four of us LOVED our short stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for value for money near the beach.
