Lovely quiet villa
Situated in such a tranquil spot but so close to hot water beach and only about 20mins to Whitianga. The place is surrounded by olive trees and it is very clean and comfy. All amenities you could need. We would stay again.

Homely and scenic stay in a great location!
We had a great stay at La Hacienda, the home itself was clean and well stocked with lots of thoughtful touches throughout. We loved the grounds and the sunsets were out of this world. Tracey and Dave were lovely hosts and gave us some great recommendations when asked. We had issues with our hire car so arrived a day late and it was nice to have friendly faces on our arrival. The place itself is located down a long driveway off the main highway (though you don’t get the traffic noise), and was a short drive to hahei, hot water beach and other scenic locations.

Heavenly Hacienda
Our upstairs apartment was spacious with a lounge, dining area, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and its own balcony with chairs and table. It was well equipped, comfortable and full of character. The location is excellent, handy to Hahei, Cathedral Cove, Hotwater Beach and the landing. Our hostess was friendly and generous. We rate it as one of the best we have ever stayed in and will definitely stay there again.

A bit of paradise at the Hacienda
Wonderful stay. The hosts were very kind and thoughtful. The pictures really do not fully communicate how beautiful the property is. She very kindly supplied shovels, towels and umbrellas for hot water beach!

Wunderbar
Sehr nette Gastgeberin. Ein Eimer mit zwei Schippen, große Regen/sonnenschirme stehen den Gästen zur Verfügung, um am Hot Water Beach einen Pool zu buddeln (unbedingt auch den Eimer mitnehmen für kaltes Wasser). In 700 m Entfernung ist eine kleine Ferienanlage/Campingplatz mit Restaurant, wo man sehr gut essen kann (Family).

Wonderful Mexican style bach
The bach was well set up and equipped(even had spades for Hot Water Beach). It was very clean and comfortable. The Mexican style of the property works and suits its environment. Tracey was a really friendly host and made us feel very welcome. We were able to wander the grounds and help ourselves to the ripe fruit in the garden. We were sorry that we had to move on after 3 nights.

Awesome homebase
The apartment was well appointed, all the right stuff and nothing that we didn’t need. We really appreciated that they split one of the King beds for our kids to sleep on- made the stay very comfortable. Going to the beaches, especially Hot Water beach! Ferry to town was easy and it’s a cute town. Buy groceries on your way in if you want to cook while there- we didn’t realize, but all the restaurants were lovely.

Wonderful stay at La Hacienda
Our stay at La Hacienda was delightful. Tracey welcomed us warmly as we arrived. The unit was very well appointed, roomy with a full dining and living area along with a quaint deck to enjoy our morning coffee while watching the sun come up. The kitchen suited our needs quite well. One of our favorite touches was the shovels and beach towels Tracey left for us to use on our jaunt over to Hot Water Beach. Couldn’t have asked for more! We highly recommend a stay at La Hacienda for your next visit to the Coromandel.

Wonderful, quaint, peaceful, beautiful, tidy, stylish too
We had a wonderfully peaceful getaway here. The environment is absolutely calm and peacerful, with lush greenery all around, and the Hot Water beach and wonderful places to discover, eat and drink very nearby. The Hacienda was beautiful, neat and tidy, and thoughtfully decorated and equipped. Dave and Tracey are amazing. A beautiful hideout for people stressed out from city life. We enjoyed every minute of our trip and hope to return again.

Coromandel stay
We stayed here for 3 nights at the end of February 2023 and unreservedly recommend it. The accommodation was of excellent quality, tastefully as well as appropriately appointed and beautifully located. Quiet and rural and just a short drive from Ha Hei and Hot Water beaches. Forestry trails can be accessed from the farm for running or walking. Tracey was an excellent host - concerned when we were late in arriving, but unobtrusive. We thoroughly recommend La Hacienda.

A quiet rural oasis and yet close to the sea
We felt very comfortable in this extremely well maintained, well equipped and tastefully furnished house and can absolutely recommend it. Everything looked like new! Many little extras, high quality body care products, ecological cleaning products, everything stylishly coordinated with the motto "Mexico", milk in the fridge, comfortable and huge beds and in addition a wonderful view. Comfortable sitting on the balcony, there is even a lantern with candle. All windows have blinds. The location is perfect, offering the ability to get to great beaches in a short drive time, allowing you to explore the whole area. Tracey and Dave were very friendly, attentive and helpful hosts who were always responsive and asked if we needed anything else. We would come back anytime :-)

Still great
We stayed here at Easter time and really enjoyed it, so we decided to come back for longer this time. It’s such a good spot, it’s so close to Tairua, Hahei and Whitianga and still plenty to do when it’s raining. Tracey is a fabulous host, you can’t want for anything as she has thought of everything. It is also so clean and spotless!

So clean and tidy!
We stayed here for 2 nights over Easter. It was such a lovely place for a get away. The place was incredibly clean and tidy and it was a perfect size for our family. It has absolutely everything you need. It was a lovely rural spot with beautiful fruit trees but a close drive to Hahei, Whitianga and Tairua. Tracey is a great host and very easy to deal with. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a great stay.

Absolutely Wonderful Spot!
I would highly recommend this wonderful spot. A short drive to all of the major sites, and just off the highway, but extremely quiet and relaxing. The apartment is attached to the house, but despite that, felt very private. The apartment is lovingly decorated and lots of details have been taken into account, including an umbrella for the beach and shovels for Hot Water Beach. Our host went above and beyond providing fresh towels multiple times during our week long stay, letting us pick fruit from her trees, and even helping us to feed her sheep and cows. There is a stairway up to the apartment, so keep in mind if that's a challenge for you. It wasn't a problem for us. I would happily return. We didn't want to leave. Probably my best ever experience booking something on VRBO.
