Bethells Beach Cottages

Wonderful hosts, great location with a fantastic view of one of the best beaches in the world.

That we only had one night to enjoy it!

The view overlooking the sand dunes and beach is stunning. Private yet a shared communal area also and gardens and lawns, Quirky accommodation, loved the outdoor fire. Very relaxing plus make time to explore all around Bethells.

Have wanted to stay at the Bethell's Cottages for many years now! It exceeded all my expectations. The cottage was gorgeous, so comfortable and well equipped, and the view could not be topped, and the host, John, could not have been more welcoming and gave me great tips on local spots to visit, gave me a guided tour down onto a lesser known part of the beach through a private track, and showed me the best spot to see the sunset. I genuinely didn't want to leave!

Genuinely can't fault my stay here - everything was amazing! For some perhaps the distance from places to buy food might be something to consider, and possibly the windy roads in to Bethell's Beach itself, but these are manageable easily and honestly just buy groceries on the way in and you won't need to leave to get food (because you won't want to!)

The location is amazing on the top of the hill overlooking the beach. Self contained quiet beach cottages. Beach is a ten minutes walk. I've stayed there several times down the years and love it.

Wifi works well in shared areas but struggles to reach the cottages. Cottage would benefit from some decluttering in terms of the magazines left for guests etc but they may just be personal preference.

The view, cosy cottage and John’s hospitality.

Beautiful rustic cottage with an incredible view and close to the beach. Trude was so generous and really looked after us desert women unaccustomed to the cold :)

It was a little more rustic than expected, but we really enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful location, stunning views, lovely hosts.

A bit of a hike to the beach

great view very private and quiet

Very thought through, details, view, positioning, tidy

The location was amazing. We were very happy with the facilities and John and Trudy were so welcoming and friendly. The cottage had everything we needed and had a lovely homely feel. Very relaxing.

Outstanding. Beautifully decorated, incredible views, amazing facilities. Relaxing , hosts lovely and very welcoming.

Well the kids would say not having WiFi in cottage was an issue, but going to shared pavilion with seating and table tennis it worked well which got them out of bed.There are no shops so you must bring food with you

Great escape from the city, views are amazing and you have your own privacy very romantic and peaceful. Outdoor fire place was a bonus cooked my BBQ yet. John and Trude were so welcoming with a vast knowledge of the area.

Best to go there during daylight if your not familiar with the area.

The location and view were amazing looking over Bethells Beach. We also drove to Phia and KareKare beaches.Beautiful scenery and location. Nice cottage with everything you need. Beautiful fresh flowers in our room.

The rain! Unfortunately but didn't spoil out stay

To stay at Bethells Beach Cottages is something really special and wonderful. Everything you need is provided. Trude and John are some wonderful people to meet. The Views speak for themself. Would always recommend.

Amazing location, cute cottage with everything we needed.

The only thing the property lacked was a bbq which was easily operated. Fortunately, the indoor stove was more than enough for our requirements.

Very warm welcome by John and Trude. This cottage is a slice of paradise just an hour from Auckland Airport. Uninterrupted views over Bethells Beach out over the Tasman sea. Indoor and outdoor seating with breathtaking views and wonderful sunsets.

This is a beautiful beach paradise location with absolutely stunning views of the ocean and landscape. The most special place to relax and rebalance. Amazing hosts, they are so helpful, kind and informative of local spots to visit. We will definitely be coming back ? Thank you John and Trudie!

The view, the relaxed atmosphere!

Limited wifi

amazing views, sitting watching sunset with outside fire

The view, beautiful Trude and Wonderful John. Thanks so much for the very private very beautiful stay. We appreciate you for sharing such a place. Your kindness towards our whole family meant more than you know. Wishing you the best.Love from...The gorgeous family haha
