About this property

"Full refund offered for cancellations due to covid travel restriction" Guests must be fully vaccinated to stay at the property.

Welcome to ‘Taumata’, a three bedroom holiday home with beautiful views over Hot Water Beach on the East Coast of New Zealand’s stunning Coromandel Peninsula. You are moments from the beach, which is only 50 metres walk away.
Hot Water Beach has been named as one of the top ten beaches in the world, and makes a perfect holiday spot. It is located on the east coast of the Coromandel Peninsula, between Tairua and Hahei Beach, around 2 hours drive from Auckland or Hamilton.
Hot Water Beach is unique as hot springs flow to the surface of the beach at low tide, meaning you can relax in your own thermal hot pool which you literally dig out of the sand. We provide a free set of shovels and spades to dig your pool.
Hot Water Beach is great for fishing, surfing, beach and bush walks, kayaking, and bird-watching. Plus the lagoons at either end of the beach are ideal for kids to swim and fish in.
Nearby are Hahei Beach and the picture-perfect Cathedral Cove. These beaches are only a 10-15 minute drive away, with Cooks Beach, Flaxmill Bay and Ferry Landing only 15-20 minutes away (where you can enjoy a short ferry ride across to Whitianga and Mercury Bay).
Taumata is one of very few homes at Hot Water Beach, and is available to rent on a long or short term basis to careful and responsible families and mature groups.
Special conditions:
A two night minimum stay applies (sorry, no exceptions). 5 day minimum bookings preferred during peak holiday periods, but contact us with your request and we'll see if we can fit you in. Rates are for up to 4 people + a surcharge of $20pp per night applies for further guests. Arrival after 3pm, departure by 10.30am please.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$70.00 per stay); Linen (included)

About the host

Hosted by caroan180

Carol and Lane have owned this much-loved holiday home for over 40 years. Our three children grew up enjoying their holidays there, and now bring our grandchildren to enjoy it too. We enjoy sharing our holiday home with like-minded families from all over the world.

Why they chose this property

We chose Hot Water Beach to build our family holiday home because of its unique location on the Coromandel Peninsula and of course the very special hot mineral springs, where you can enjoy your own 'hot pool' on the beach. Our property faces due North and has excellent views along this beautiful white, sandy beach. We have also enjoyed many water sports here over the years including swimming, surfing, fishing, kayaking, and of course dolphin watching - we love watching them play in the waves.
One our favourite 'special' things to do locally is to visit the excellent Lost Spring Geothermal Pools, Day Spa and Cafe/Restaurant in nearby Whitianga.

What makes this property unique

Relax in your own 'hot pool' on the beach fed by natural underground springs.
Fantastic views right along the white sandy beach.
Excellent surf at most times of the year.
Beautiful starlit nights - the sky on a clear night is magical!
If you're lucky, you'll see a group of dolphins playing in the waves!
We really recommend the excellent Hot Waves Cafe in Hot Water Beach - this is our family's favourite place for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Go wine tasting at the stunning Mercury Bay vineyard at Cooks Beach, a short drive away.
World-renowned Cathedral Cove is a 15 minute drive away
