Short stay on the East Cape
Great location to explore the east cape.
Shame that the property is a bit tired and that we had to spend the first evening cleaning the place. Food waste container on the worktop was dirty and full of ants which were also all over the sink area.
Only stayed 1 night. Plenty of room for a family for a longer stay. Has everything you need to be self contained.
The drive way up could be a challenge to some drivers. If you have an SUV not a problem.
Te Puka hotel was great for a meal and a few beers.
Stan the owner was great.
The apartment at Macrocapa Heights is an ideal location for a holiday break. Stan and Terresa are brilliant hosts, and they were able to give me details of the local history of the Bay together with places to visit in the immediate area. The accommodate is very comfortable and spacious and has all of the essential amenities for a relaxing break. The apartment overlooks Tokomaru Bay and has stunning view from the garden area. I would recommend Macrocapa Heights to anyone wishing to have a holiday break in an area and wants to enjoy the true scenery of the East Coast.

Property is one of two self contained units attached to a rural property. There are no nearby retail options so you do need to be relatively self contained - there are nearby beach and historic tumbledown buildings and wharf to explore as well as other sightseeing options within easy driving distance - a great place for a few days away from it all and to chill or to explore - getting there is a significant drive, as there are only two access directions via either Whakatane or Gisborne, but in this reviewers opinion, well worth the effort - accommodation was fully equipped for cooking although we had evening meals both nights at the local pub in the bay - good menu choices, simple and well prepared
The road to the home was quite literally a bit bumpy but other than that, everything was perfect. Home, property managers, and of course - the views. Everything was straightforward and the whanau and I appreciate the stellar service provided.
We stayed just the one night on our way around SH35, and had a fine sleep. Stan provided detailed directions how to get there, which were needed. The bach is well off the highway, and finishes up a steep gravel track. The view is likely wonderful, but the weather didn't cooperate. The rooms are large with lots of single and double beds. Big kitchen with full range of appliances. Very friendly owners.steepsteep
Beautiful, peaceful, tranquil with views of the bay that otherwise could not be seen. King of the Hill is my title, because thats how i felt driving up to this peaceful retreat nestled in the foot hills.
Eastcoast hospitality at its best. The hosts were perfect 💯 they were attentive when needed and invisible the rest of the time. Just what i want in a host. I would highly recommend Macrocapa Heights.
This house is downstairs on the friendly owners’ farm. It has lovely views from the living room and master bedroom, lots of beds, good bathroom facilities and a good kitchen. Worked really well for an overnight stay as a family of five whilst travelling the Cape.
