Feb 22, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great stay. Clean, well-equipped (both in the kitchen and for your beach activities). Great communication, including the guest book with spot-on activities and dining suggestions. We did Hotwater Beach (beautiful, but the hotwater thing - meh), Cathedral Cove walk (great!), fished (Razorback Adventures - great!) and a drive around the Peninsula with two hikes. For any Brewery fans, the Pour House has great beer in a great atmosphere with good food. Would not hesitate renting from Tina again, this location or any of her others in the Hahei area. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/94115f20-1d61-46da-b12e-8d8db5593f3c-1771743799300.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9e3fb4c2-a13a-4171-98d5-08ce9fdd0fd6-1771743800382.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bb4e16a8-8237-4948-8e15-ded4f81f75a1-1771743809871.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/98b7f663-b386-4280-ab1e-6f8337e5618b-1771743811698.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Dan B.
