We love the wooden cottages placed each on their own within trees and private gardens. Restful, tranquil. To look out of the window and see trees and gardens and not a wall or a building. It was so restorative.

Lovely comfortable bed, nice surroundings. REALLY annoyed that property advertises that there is a cafe/ restaurant on site ( the main reason we chose this place) but didn’t bother to state that it’s closed over winter & into September & the other options were basically takeaway fish and chips or fish and chips at the Pour pub. Felt it was very deceitful advertising.

Hi Jan Thanks for your review and nice comment about our accommodation. We don't normally respond to reviews, but thought we may need to point out a couple of things for the benefit of other guests. The Church Bistro is run independently of The Church Accommodation and as such we do not dictate their opening hours. Hahei is a very small town and very quiet in winter. I'm sure you can appreciate the rationale for The Church Bistro choosing to not be open all year round. A cursory glance at either our website, or The Church Bistro's website, would have shown that the The Church Bistro does, (and always has) closed for the winter and that it is best to contact them directly to see when they expect to reopen. We base our advertising and marketing on our cottages, gardens, ambiance, staff and location. The fact that there is a restaurant in the same location is an added bonus, not a feature we would feel the need to be 'deceitful' about. Especially since all eating establishments in Hahei are within walking distance of The Church Accommodation, and one another. Again, thanks for your nice comment about our accommodation.

Excellent hosts who were very friendly and helpful with information we required. Lovely atmospheric, quiet and peaceful place to stay. Highly recommend this accommodation.

The cottages and gardens were gorgeous. It has the feel of a private retreat. It was so lovely I immediately rebooked a second night when I arrived. The staff were lovely and helpful. Closely located to the local attractions, town and beach. I also had an exceptional meal at the Church Restaurant. Just wish I could have stayed longer.

One of the best

Pros: Location, design, uniqueness
What a wonderful and central place to stay when exploring this part of the country. The accommodation is magnificent and ours was very clean and welcoming. Our hosts were beautiful helpful and happy people who are a credit to the industry. I would not hesitate to recommend The Church as a great location for somewhere to stay and having a real fireplace was an absolute bonus. Thank you for your hospitality.

Thanks for an awesome stay!

Anna is an awesome host, and we quickly found we had a number of mutual friends, love NZ! The Church is a quiet sanctuary in beautiful Hahei. I stayed with my two sons, and we had a magical time down on the beach at sunset. A very special place. No hesitation in recommending this great place. And did I mention the beautiful gardens?

Nice Accommodation

Pros: I liked the individual units and their style.
Cons: Maybe the glass door into the bathroom can be made a little more private.
Location: Close to Catherdral Cove, which was my highlight. Town is small, but perfect for a relaxing getaway.
This is a lovely place to stay, with quiet accommodation.

HI Belinda, I know what you mean about the glass door in #7!! it's a cute and very cool vintage door but I think I will buy a blind to pull down from the inside should you wish to. Good feedback! Thanks!
