We stayed in the beach front studio; it was wonderful. Huge windows look out over the beach and bay, and the unit was very comfortable. Coopers Beach shops are a short drive, and they have pretty much all supplies you need. Had a lovely stay and look forward to staying again.

Outstanding quality. The attention to kind little details was better than anything I’ve experienced. Right down to a little curry powder, flour and soy sauce. It is like arriving to your own beachside holiday house. A welcome was written large on the door. No check in and out. What a lovely trusting idea.

Golden Sand is a little slice of heaven. The host was quick to communicate with us with clear information how to access the property. The layout of the room is well thought out and spacious, stocked with everything you could need. The weather was on the cooler side but the room was cozy and warm. The accommodation is superb with the most amazing views of the ocean. Sitting on the deck surrounded by the beautifully landscaped garden watching the sunrise. Definitely a place to return to.

As soon as I left our room this morning I wanted to write this review! A-maz-ing! You had me instantly impressed with the cute welcome notes on the ranch slider doors, nice personal touches like these win every time :) We stayed in the Paua1 apartment, simple and cosy. Great location. Easy access for parking. And if our stay was as lovely as it was in the middle of Winter.. Summer would be just magic. Win win if you enjoy an ocean dip in any season! Thank you, we only stayed one night but thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely recommend

Can’t recommend this place highly enough. It was our favourite spot during our 2 week roadie in Northland. Modern, clean accomodation with all the little extras to make it special, amazing location right on the beach and fabulous hospitality, thanks Rosemary. Price comparative with other baches we booked but definitely a league above the others. Wish we could have stayed longer but now we know where to return to for our summer holiday. A must stay!

I travel for work and this is the second time that I have stayed at Cable Bay Stays. It is always so nice to return to this beautiful location after a long day of work. Rosemary and Brian are excellent host's and the accommodation is fantastic. The units that I have stayed in have full kitchen amenities and the most comfortable beds. I had uninterrupted views of the ocean and on my last trip I was very privileged to witness a large pod of Dolphins playing offshore.

First class accomodation, excellent sea views and very clean and tidy. Early morning swim and walk along the beach. This place never fails to impress and we really enjoyed our stay. Lovely touch was the welcome in Te Reo. Ngā mihi nui.

Excellent stay right on the beach! All utilities you need. We stayed with a family of 5 during a few rainy days, but had a unforgettable time! Went swimming in the sea every morning. There is a playground right next to the beach; kids loved it. Rosemary and Bryan were great hosts. We could use the bodyboards for the sand dunes and the spa pool was a real treat!

Absolute beachfront treat, steps away from the beach. Rosemary and Brian were both super helpful and provided lots of knowledge of the bay. Unit has everything you need to enjoy the beach home away from home.
