The Boat House Studio, hotel in Tairua

Just 1.1 miles from Pauanui Beach and 1.2 miles from Tairua Ocean Beach, The Boat House Studio features accommodations in Tairua with a garden.

My husband and I loved The Boat House! What a setting in the beautiful little town of Tairua. This is a large spacious guest house, with a balcony with an excellent ocean view. Tastefully, and very nicely furnished with everything we needed. Our only complaint is that we only planned one night to stay in Tairua. We would’ve loved to spend the week there! Our host Bev was so nice, and very accommodating.

Studio on Petley, hotel in Tairua

Studio on Petley features free bikes and a tennis court in Tairua. The 5-star Studio has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom and free WiFi.

Lynn and David are incredible! Our stay was fantastic and allowed us to have our own private area to hold as a base as we explored the area. I unfortunately came down with a very bad headache on day one and Lynn and David were so kind to help us sort out dinner and get me back on my feet for the next day! They gave amazing recommendations and their dog, Rocky, was also such a treat!

The location was absolutely beautiful and the room was clean and spacious! We wish we stayed here longer because we ran out of time to use the kayaks but hopefully we can come again soon for a longer visit!! The staff were also friendly and approachable- had a great experience overall!

    Lovely laid-back and friendly little town in fantastic location and with great amenities. It’s got everything you need - shops, choice of places to eat and drink, lovely estuary with beaches for swimming when tide is in, and a great ocean surfing beach. Got a great little art gallery well worth a visit, and very helpful tourist info next door to library. Boat trips, including to Cathedral Cove direct from town - and lots of great beaches and other places visit just a short drive away. We loved Sailors Grave beach just 10 minutes drive.

    Loved the relaxed atmosphere.

    Loved the relaxed atmosphere. My father in law(1902-1997) used to say that Tairua never knew the Depression was on, meaning life went on as usual, plenty of seafood to eat etc. it had the same feel today.

    Tairua is in a beautiful setting within easy reach of Hot water Beach, Hahei beach, Cathedral Cove and Cook’s beach which is a lovely safe bathing beach. Don’t miss Shakespeare Cliff for spectacular views over Cook’s beach and Whitianga. Take the little 5 minute passenger ferry from Ferry Landing over to Whitianga for a nice lunch spot.

    We loved the walks, lookouts, friendly locals, spectacular views, helpful people at the Tourist Office and great weather. The speedboat out to the Aldermen Islands with Coromandel Adventure Tours was a highlight.

    Tairua is a great gateway town to the Coromandel but also perfect to stay just in Tairua, plenty to do: surfing, walking (beach & bush), climb Mt Paku, wonder around the estuary, go paddleboarding or kayaking.... or just relax. It's a lovely low key place....makes you relax

    Tairua was a friendly coastal town with a small population, yet had all the things a traveller requires. Things such as a swimming beach, boat ramps, fishing opportunities . A number of fast food outlets(Thai take away, local bakery , hotel, wine shop and a well stocked Four Square store. ) Thoroughly enjoyed the vibe of this small town

    Lynne and David were amazing hosts, nothing was too much trouble. They were friendly, warm and always available without being intrusive. The studio set up is great, everything you need and exclusive use of the back garden. The position is also excellent, right on the shore line with easy access to the village centre, ferry to Pauanui, and short bike ride to Taurua ocean beach. The real star of the shown is Taurua itself - two world class beaches and all the natural beauty of the estuary. We’re missing it already!

    We loved everything about Tairua Treasure! The views are to die for, and ‘ everything’ and I mean ‘ everything’ required in a holiday home was provided. We all agreed! We also loved Steven Seagull (Seagal) who was a the cutest!
