The location is everything. The golden sands are right on the edge of the deck and it’s a serene little corner of paradise. The rooms are comfortable and have everything you need.
There was a bit of noise from the upstairs room. Could hear them walking around and talking at night. Even with that small disruption of noise I know I’ll be back to stay again. It was paradise.

Great beachfront location with views in the beautiful Cable Bay beach. Comfortable and clean cottage with all the amenities needed, including air conditioning. Comfortable bed. Allowing our dog was a big bonus. We would come back for another stay.
The room we stayed was very close to the highway, but it was quiet in the evenings, so for us it wasn't a big problem. The shower pressure was also quite low.

Great location!walk to the beach and great view!
The facilities and equipment are outdated and not functioning properly. In addition, there is a significant insect problem, including mosquitoes and ants, which were even found in the bed.

We stayed three nights, booked four rooms. Family with kids. Excellent view, private beach, kids can run around, there is a play ground too. If you want to spend some quite relaxing time then this is an excellent place.
There were some pest issues (ants and cockroach🪳) however it's beachside so may be hard to manage.

Good location next to beach and walking distance to Cable Bay store. Comfortable bed, clean with selfcatering options and offstreet parking
Unit 8 was near the road so a bit of vibration if trucks passed

This is a wonderful location. Just sitting on the deck and watching the sea. . . (Pity about the weather.) Wind dropped in the evening and we were treated to a full moon shining on the water.
Nothing really.

We absolutely loved our stay in the beach-facing room! The personalised touch with my name and the welcome sign on the door made us feel so special. Everything was perfect — from the view to the comfort and attention to detail. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend!
The short period I was there. Should have stayed for couple of days.

Excellent communication from the owner Rosemary, advised we would be arriving later than we had advised, made sure a light was on in the unit when we arrived. Informed us if eating out, places closed at 7pm. We were right by the water, excellent views.
Beds were on wheels and the single bed would move when you would sit on it.

Prime location, great facilities, rooms are accomodating & beds are comfortable.
The floors were dirty upon entry, the bugs on our bathroom ceiling already dead was very unpleasant & the walls were dripping onto the beds in the room causing them to be wet.

We loved our stay at Cable Bay Stays! We stayed for one night in Cockle Cottage, a beautifully decorated 60s beach-house themed cabin, as a stopping point between Auckland and Cape Reinga. Driving parallel to the beach to get to the property's parking is definitely a view we won't forget! The property had all the amenities we needed for our stay and would definitely be great for a week or longer too, the cottage had a modern kitchenette, a private bathroom and a spacious living and bedroom space. The cottage was very clean, and the owners had turned on the lights and left a greeting on the door before our arrival which we thought was a lovely touch especially as we arrived after dark. We stayed in the winter but the heating was perfect in the house and the sea views were still stunning despite the colder temperatures. It was amazing to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the ocean nearby. We'd definitely come back again, hopefully in the summer so we can try some of the walks and cafes mentioned in the welcome book!
We loved everything, if we had stayed longer we would have had more opportunity to use some of the beach equipment and could say further on what that was like. However, we only stayed for one night and it was perfect.

A comfortable room that had a lovely outlook to the beach. Retro decor. Plenty of facilities in the room - heating, big fridge, microwave, no electric blanket but a spare blanket in the cupboard.
My partner was bothered by the noise of the trucks passing but I slept through this. The building is quite old, probably better for a summer stay when you are mostly outdoors.
