Perfect weekend away at Cooks. The host sent the best instructions on how to make the most out of the coromandel/Cooks. Luxury and comfort with unmatched views. Mind the steep driveway though (worth it for the vista).

We had a terrific break at Cooks Beach. The house is situated high up in Cools Beach and has amazing views of the bay. It had all the amenities necessary to relax at home. The kayaks were great to use also. The owner provide recommendations that were really useful

Wow what an absolutely awesome place! The house has the most incredible view and this is such a great spot for a relaxing family holiday. For those who like to cook, this kitchen is superb and has everything you need. Great walks close by to the beautiful beach and up to some amazing lookouts. Lincoln was a great host with excellent communication for easy check in and stay. Highly recommend. Don’t scroll any further and book this place now!

Overall, 4.5 stars. Great place!
Pros: view is gorgeous. A 5-10 minute walk from the beach. The place was clean and pretty well furnished. Very quiet and very nice.
Cons: not having a dryer is a bit of a bummer because it takes forever for towels to dry. Also, the driveway is very, very steep. Just be aware that you have to very carefully navigate it to exit and enter.

Loved this property. Amazing views and just a lovely place to spend a few days relaxing. The driveway is a little challenging with a big car but we got used to it. Great communication from the owners.

This was by far the most exquisite stay we’ve had in a VRBO rental. The views were out of this world and the amenities were perfect to make our stay comfortable and convenient. The place made our whole trip and would highly recommend!

Beautiful, clean property with stunning views of Cooks Beach. Great location. Excellent communication with owner. Only request is that we would have liked more places to hang up clothing.

Our family enjoyed our time in Cooks Beach. The house was beautiful with a great view of the ocean. It was convenient to many activities in the Coromandel, including a sail to cathedral cove, zip lining, ocean kayaking and relaxing at the beach. The hosts were responsive and helpful. I highly recommend staying here if you make it to New Zealand.

Great communication from the owner. Property is even more beautiful than the pictures. I’m a lovely quiet spot up on the hill amongst native bush but still very close to the beach. Very clean, plenty of amenities and very comfortable beds. We would love to come back next year if available!

Such a stunning property where the photos just don’t do it justice. Breathtaking views and the kids commented, “who needs a TV when you can just watch the scenery change all day!” Has all the comforts of home and more! Amazing, well equipped kitchen - much better than we expected. Beautiful, clean, spacious, relaxing property. Like other reviews mentioned, the driveway is very steep and access to the house not suited to people who find hills and steps difficult. But it’s so worth it for the stunning view. Would be a lovely cosy warm house to stay in even in winter (with both a wood burning fireplace, heat pump and plenty of throws/blankets to keep you warm). We will be staying again I’m sure. Owner also is really great and responds very quickly to any questions. Very lovely to deal with.

Beautiful stay amongst native bush looking out with fabulous views to the beautiful bays. A bit of a daunting drive way and access as it is perched up on a hill but worth it for the views. Lovely modern property with great areas for family to relax and chill. Short walk to a local cafe and in to town and beaches. Also very close to the ferry to Whitianga. Only challenge during our stay (which was not related to the property) was being able to get in to places to dine - would recommend researching a head of time and making bookings.

Found this property just perfect for my family getaway. The house had all the amenities that we could have asked for. So close to the beach and stunning views from every room in the house. I would love to return some day! Thank you

Wonderful stay, but the access was a little challenging for an older member of our group - quite a steep gravelly section of path which could be improved with either steps or sealing. Lovely modern house with great deck area and fabulous views. Excellent local walks to beaches for those fit enough to walk back up the very steep access - could be off-putting for some. Overall, I loved it!

Lincoln’s home was an oasis of calm. A gorgeous open plan home with the best view in Cooks Beach. Modern, spacious and clean - it was a fantastic stay. Also a great range of books and board games as well as a bottle of bubbles and chocolate on arrival. We will definitely be back!

A very modern and new bach with everything you need for a great stay. The view over the bay is an absolute winner. The beach is only a short walk away. Will come again.

We were really looking forward to staying at this accommodation however Covid-19 lockdowns meant that we were unable to travel out of our home city. The host was extremely prompt, understanding and helpful in his replies and suggested solutions. We highly recommend this Cooks Beach home because of this and absolutely want to book again!
