Fine for the area

Room was ready with no problem checking in. Email had instructions for self checkin. Room was a little worn but clean. Bed was comfortable. Tairua has one nice restaurant among a lot of take away places. Not on the beach.

The rooms were clean and comfortable on the inside. The property on the outside was very unkept. Driving in made me very worried. The owner was very helpful and was helpful with beach towels, dining advice and grocery shopping. Overall our stay was pleasant. Easy walk to a small town. Lots of walking trails and drivable ocean beach.
