The property
Daisy Cottage is a 2 bedroom Hahei bach in a fantastic location... The original Kiwi bach, Daisy Cottage is a delightfully presented 1940's cottage situated virtually on the beach front, in the middle of the bay! This Hahei bach is a mere 5 minute walk from the shops and restaurants of Hahei, and sleeps up to 6 with 1 queen bed in Bedroom 1, a queen and a single in Bedroom 2 and 1 single bed in the hallway. There is plenty of outside space at this Hahei accommodation, all on the flat, including a generous deck with table and chairs... Plus, there is a BBQ provided to complete your iconic kiwi summer! The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area has french doors opening directly on to the deck, as does one of the bedrooms. There are 2 shower rooms both with basin and toilet - one is an ensuite to one of the bedrooms and the other located externally to the side of the house. There is an additional outdoor warm shower. This Hahei holiday accommodation is compact, very user friendly and in an amazing location... This is the original Kiwi Bach!
Note for Boat Parking: The driveway entrance is narrow, therefore competent reversing skills are required.

“We absolutely loved Daisy Cottage!”
This place has a lot of character and is in the perfect location. The property managers were also very helpful. We arrived late on the Friday so they made sure the house was warm and ready for our arrival. Would highly recommend staying here :-)

John & Pamela “Daisy Cottage was a lovely place to stay by the beach for a few days.”
- John & Pamela, July 2021Janine “A stunning authentic bach steps from the beach.”
You can hear the ocean from your bedroom along with the tuis and crickets. I would definitely stay here again and miss it already!
- Janine, March 2019Ursula “Fantastic location, relaxing stay and a shame we didn't stay for longer.”
- Ursula, October 2018Jocelyn “We were disappointed that there was not any Wi-Fi.”
Also beach towels and or beach chairs would have been nice. We traveled from the United States and so obviously couldn’t bring any of these things with us. The location is superb the views lovely the kitchen was very well appointed loved the outdoor space.
- Jocelyn, January 2026Karlene “A lovely spot, that is a very short walk to the beach.”
A very special place that has managed to retain the charms of an old NZ bach, but with a modern touch and all the mod cons you could need. Small but cosy.
- Karlene, November 2021Heather “Lovely second stay at Daisy Cottage, we just love the cottage and location.”
- Heather, October 2021Raf “Amazing Hahei Bach.”
..50mts walk from the beach, which itself is fabulous. The Bach is well equipped and just a fantastic place to stay. Would recommend for a single, couple or small family. We just went back and forward to the beach for 7 days
- Raf, January 2021Maree “Love love love Daisy Cottage!”
So nice. Such a great location, close to the beach. Highly recommend it.
- Maree, October 2020Zane “Second time my partner and I have stayed there, we love it.”
Thanks
- Zane, November 2022Heather “Beautiful Bach in amazing location.”
- Heather, October 2020Zane “Happily stay again, very cosy.”
Thanks
- Zane, May 2020James “Lovely cottage, tidy and comfortable.”
Perfectly located by the beach.
- James, February 2020Natasha “This is a lovely bach, we came for a relaxing weekend away and didn't want to leave, both husband and kids loved Daisy Cottage, the outdoor shower was great when coming back from the beautiful beach which was just a short walk over the dunes.”
- Natasha, November 2019Pip “Amazing stay, great location and really accommodating hosts.”
The perfect place for us and our 3 kids who had the best time
- Pip, October 2019Greg “Daisy Cottage is a comfortable property that retains the sense of an old-time beach bach.”
Excellent location. Great facilities.
- Greg, August 2019Maria Pilar “Had a great time, stunning bach, incredible location.”
We will be back!
- Maria Pilar, October 2022Sue “We really enjoyed our stay.”
Brilliant setting, great facilities, close to the beach. We all loved the hot outside shower, great after a swim or kayak. Will definitely book again.
- Sue, April 2022Sarah “Great bach and excellent location.”
You could perhaps advise there is no WiFi access on the listing. We loved our stay and would rent again… infact if you were interested in selling I’d be keen to talk!
- Sarah, December 2023Alex “Enjoyed staying at your Bach thank you.”
I do think the charges for linen use and cleaning, given the size of the property were disproportionately high - is it a BachCare standard charge? Kitchen is very well equipped and the beds very comfortable - although there was no linen on the spare single bed in the main bedroom even though we had indicated we were bringing an infant (who is not yet needing a cot). How do you book without taking the linen option?
- Alex, April 2024Sarah “Lovely Bach in great location.”
Only thing misssing was a coffee maker.
- Sarah, February 2024Baldeep “Good location very convenient to beach.”
..but outside furniture need to change and beds....rest everything is pretty good Thanks
- Baldeep, December 2022Jessica “Another amazing weekend in the beautiful daisy cottage.”
Bpoked our return trip in the car on the way home.
- Jessica, November 2023Jessica “Another happy stay at daisy cottage, kids and mums had an awesome time.”
Ocean fun and lazy dinners from the campsite pizza place..
- Jessica, March 2024Jessica “Lovely batch.”
Comfy, clean, pretty and so great being so close to the beach. We had a lovely girls weekend away and were super snug with the 3 heaters.
- Jessica, May 2023Alannah “Loved our stay here, even if it was only two nights.”
Comfortable beds, awesome location, relaxed vibe.
- Alannah, October 2025Liz “The property was amazing and right on the beach, well maintained and well appointed.”
We only had a couple of days there and one of those days was taken up with a wedding but we would love to come back and spend some time there just to relax.
- Liz, March 2018Deborah “Lovely spot to holiday, beautiful beach, easy walk to shops, comfortable, clean, easy to live in bach.”
Matched the description perfectly. Would happily holiday here again and have already started making plans for our next stay here. Love it!!!
- Deborah, March 2023Erin “We had a lovely time during out week at the Daisy Cottage in September/October.”
Even though the weather wasn't the greatest, the proximity to the beach made quick walks every morning possible in between rain showers. It was a great central location to show our family visiting from overseas around The Coromandel.
- Erin, September 2025Maree “Cute little well equipped two bedroom cottage located right on the beach with a great deck for lounging and enjoying those summer bbqs.”
- Maree, October 2018Judith “Daisy cottage was perfect for us.”
We had the most gorgeous weekend at this idyllic place. Everything was as we thought- facilities were great
- Judith, December 2025Amanda “Perfect for our family - close to the beach, not too fancy and a real kiwi bach vibe.”
Loved the outdoor shower
- Amanda, January 2023Mark “Very functional, clean, and the best location ever- such easy access to the beach for swimming, kayaking- was perfect for us.”
- highly recommend
- Mark, December 2024Ashley “A lovely slice of paradise.”
The house is nice and light, well equipped and a great home away from home. Friendly locals and easy access to the beach make this place a winner. Would highly recommend this bach.
- Ashley, September 2019Raven “Daisy Cottage is a perfect little getaway spot the location is amazing!”
Perfect to walk to the park/shops and so close to the beach. We absolutely loved it and will be back again.
- Raven, October 2018Julia “What a lovely little Bach, and perfect location.”
It was such a shame we had a lot of rain on our stay, we would like to come back to experience a sunny visit. There is a roof leak in the bedroom which I left and indication note on the wall, with the heavy rain, water was going down the wall. Cleaning was good but they missed the toilet and we found left items under the bed hence a bed move to clean would be good An apology to the cleaners we did the recycling but realised too late we hadn’t tied off the rubbish. Thanks for a restful stay and look forward to a return visit
- Julia, December 2022At Bachcare we take cleaning seriously and have guidelines in place to maintain our high standard. It's unfortunate that this was not what you experienced and we will follow up with our team to improve this. Bachcare
Taljit “Great location!”
Only metres from the water, had everything you needed, including bbq, full kitchen, bathrooms etc. The outdoor furniture is great, and makes for a bach where you would want to stay outside all the time. Close to food spots and local shops too. Only thing would be that, the showers may be a little too small for tall members of your family or friend group.
- Taljit, April 2021Michelle “Quaintest, sweetest little cottage.”
Peaceful and secluded, yet practically on Hahei’s golden beach. Highly recommend.
- Michelle, November 2021Carmen “Beautiful Bach, 10/10 location.”
Such a peaceful area, a true getaway. Could’ve stayed much longer!
- Carmen, December 2021Gemma “Such a beautiful spot right but the beach.”
We loved our stay at this classic kiwi style batch! The outdoor shower was a highlight for us and our kids after beach days.
- Gemma, January 2022John “This is our second stay in the Daisy cottage.”
Cute Bach in great location very near beach. Doesn't look like any exterior maintenance has been done in the 2 years since our last stay. Peeling paint, putty falling out of windows, nails coming up through the deck (hard on feet). BBQ grill too unclean to use. Interior clean and reasonably well stocked. Just needs owner to do some maintenance.
- John, March 2023Thank you for your feedback on the maintenance that is required at the property John. We are discussing this with the property owners and will work hard on improvements to ensure this home continues to offer an amazing experience to our guests. Bachcare
Jill “If ;I did you wouldnt publish it on your website because it would be so negative .”
I have today spoken with Ross and yesterday sent a message but never heard back so that is why I contacted Bachcare on the 0800 phone number. I emphasize there is nothing wrong with Daisy Cottage. We accept it for what it is but one expects a level of cleanliness that was not evident this visit.
- Jill, February 2022Simon “Biggest concern was not being aware that the second bathroom, which was important to my selection, was only accessed externally which in winter was less than ideal.”
This may have been in the description, but if it was I missed it. Also: French doors were sticking and difficult to open. The en suite shower drained very slowly and may need some attention. Finally, the sole heater was barely adequate for a sizable room in winter not helped by lack of curtains over 2x French doors. Positives: proximity to beach and shops nice kitchen, large TV, potentially lack of WiFi (stand corrected on this). Regards Simon.
- Simon, June 2022Thank you for your feedback, Simon! Yes, this information is present on the listing, so it seems that it was missed at the time of booking. It is also correct that WIFI isn't an amenity on offer at the moment, as per our list of amenities. We do appreciate your comments on the french doors, ensuite shower drain and heating and will follow them up with the local team. Bachcare
Ying “The place is very convenient for us to access the beach, cathedral cove and hot water beach.”
We enjoyed our stay overall. Would recommend it for other guests ~
- Ying, September 2022Yvonne “Older but very functional property”
- Yvonne, May 2019Hi Leigh - glad to hear you enjoyed your stay! Bachcare
Scott “Location was fantastic, right on beach.”
Short walk to Craft Brewery, Cafe, and Burger place. Good if you like the beach and surfing. House is more shack like than portrayed in photos.
- Scott, March 2019Hi Scott, we are sorry to hear that this property did not meet your expectations. We do everything possible to ensure our photos trully represent the house. Bachcare
Tadeusz “Property somewhat rundown.”
Doors not shutting properly. Non-working lightbulbs not replaced (manager said they would be). Cupboard door “fell off in our hand”. Big burner on gas stove sounds like a jet plane taking off. BBQ flame very poor (until we gave it a thorough clean). Listing says it sleeps 6 - should mention that if you do sleep this many that access to the indoor toilet is through the second bedroom (particularly important at night time). For the price paid one would expect wifi (there is none).
- Tadeusz, January 2026Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that parts of the property did not meet expectations during your stay. The issues with the doors not shutting properly, the lightbulbs not being replaced as promised, the cupboard door coming loose, the noise from the gas burner and the initial condition of the barbecue are not the standard we want for our guests. We appreciate you also noting the layout where access to the indoor toilet is through the second bedroom when the property is used at full capacity, as this is important information for guests. This property does not offer wifi. Your stay coincided with road closures and weather disruptions in the area, which made access difficult, and we are sorry that we were not able to address these concerns during your visit. Since then,n the lightbulbs have been replaced, the barbecue and gas burner have been checked, the cupboard door has been fixed, and the doors throughout the property have been looked at. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Reputation and Resolutions Coordinators. Bachcare
Leola “Great location, cute little bach but way to small for 6 or 8 people.”
Also thought it was a fire hazard having a bed blocking the front door. It is perfect for 2 people though and would consider renting it again.
- Leola, November 2019Thanks for your review Leola. Although it's a bit of a squeeze, the single bed in the hallway is pictured in the listing, as an extra bed for groups needing it and can be moved easily. Bachcare
Sarah “Cute, quintessential kiwi bach.”
Best suited for a couple or family of 4. Very comfy beds!
- Sarah, September 2020Rose “This was our third stay here over the past 4 years.”
There has been very little maintenance. The cleaning was disappointing - bathroom smelled like vomit, bedrooms floor unclean (although we did move a bed to make space for our portacot). Location great.
- Rose, January 2023Thank you for your feedback Daisy, we are sorry to hear about the cleaning issues during your stay. This is not the standard we expect for our guests and will be following up with the local manager to ensure everything has been remedied and that future guests are not impacted. Bachcare
Sarah “Cute cottage and great location however wasn’t very clean, floors dirty, stains on couch and bathroom sink didn’t drain properly.”
Photos need updating. Also originally booked with linen and it was then advised they would charge an extra $150 so we took our own.
- Sarah, March 2024Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and we are sorry that on this occasion the cleanliness of the property was not to our usual high standard. We will organise a deep clean to be done at the property to ensure more in-depth cleaning is completed to ensure this does not happen again. Bachcare
Suzannah “The location is fantastic, but the property itself disappointing.”
There is a bed in the hallway which is either propped on the wall and is a fall hazard (completely unsafe for children), or you lie it flat and it blocks the front door. We opted for the linen which was stained and dirty. The house was also dirty on arrival with used razors, makeup smears, dirty dishes etc. We informed batchcare but had to clean it ourselves as it was over a long weekend. Overall the house is tired.
- Suzannah, February 2022Josephine “It was clean, with nice furniture, good shower and good kitchen - but it is very small so not great for a family of five if it rains a lot.”
One of the single beds is in the hallway and the bed goes across the main door, which makes locking up the house difficult (have to prop the bed up on the wall or move it around). Great outdoor shower. Lots of mozzies due to all the large trees and bushes around the property so bring mozzie repellant to plug in at night time.. Close to the beach, but no beach views. Old caravan on site too...and outside a little run down (the photos make it look better than it is). Lots of parking and flat area for boats.
