View is gorgeous and very quiet location. Hosts ensure that you are comfortable and provided for. Short 10 minute walk to a food truck cafe and live music on occasion. A bit further is the beach and a cave opening.

Epic Veiws

I took one day from my business trip to go explore NZ’s west coast. This spot did not disappoint!!! The view from my cottage was amazing. You could hear the ocean in the night watch the stars. Trudy and John were fantastic hosts. If you want to unplug from life this is the place to do it!! Cannot wait to get back. Watson

Stunning views of the ocean

The location and views are what makes this location. On the other hand, the road to get there is very rough (narrow, rocky gravel road) and there are no clear signs to guide you. Fortunately, there's not much else around, so you just keep following "to the end of the road." One word of caution, you are 30 minutes from any restaurants or grocery stores, so bring everything you need for your stay. The cottages, which are a little dated but very comfortable, are fully self-contained. There is a shared hot-tub for all three cottages that takes a while to warm up to 40 degrees Celcius, but once it's warm, it's very relaxing. Washer & dryer use is NZ$7 per machine, and we were not warned that the dryer did not work. Fortunately, it wasn't raining and I was able to have clothes dry outside. The WiFi is perfectly adequate, if you need to connect, but this place is made for disconnecting. Plenty of walks. We enjoyed going to the sand-dune lake nearby.

wow!

A remote location off an unpaved road. Absolutely stunning view of the ocean! Great male host! Spacious and clean cottage. Gardens need tending and the site, over all, needs serious de-cluttering. Our cottage, although clean and roomy, needed less stuff on the kitchen table, countertops, and bed: excessive cushions! People enjoy a clear space to relax and use. But the location is breathtaking.

Nice cottage but overpriced for what it is.

Very secluded down a long winding road. Beautiful view of far away beach. No beach access. No food options within at least 30 mins. You must bring food for all your meals.

Beautiful Cottages with spectacular view

Peaceful and relaxing with an abundance of facilities to keep entertained such as table tennis, hot tub, hammocks, benches, large outdoor chess game and of course the beach itself. This is the "Xena" beach and the scenery is definitely spectacular. The place has a very home-like feel and owners Trude and John are easy to talk to. Would love to return and stay even longer. Perfect if you want to get away and paint/write that book.

magical beginning

What a perfect place to start our holiday in New Zealand! We headed to the cottages after landing in Auckland and stocking up on some groceries. The rough road to the cottages was unexpected, and additional signage directing to the location, as well as parking, would have been helpful. Possible improvements would be air conditioning and window screens. However, our apartment at Bethells Beach Cottages was absolutely amazing. A magical location with a gorgeous view, adorably furnished. John was friendly and welcoming, and gave us some fantastic tips for exploring the area, including a nearby lake and of course the black sand beach below. I wish we could have stayed a whole week! Absolutely wonderful, thank you!
