Ocean Beach Hotels

"We loved our stay, property well appointed, clean and tidy. Hosts were warm and inviting, wonderful people!If only we could have stayed longer."

"Exactly as advertised. Host Mark friendly and helpful. Thanks for great stay. Will come stay again."

"This was our third stay at Pen Byrn. We love that it is a truly authentic Kiwi Bach in a beautiful location. A new kitchen bench and cabinets, along with a television have been added and the bedding has been upgraded since our previous stays. Easy communication with the owner."

"Had a great stay with a good sized room and a neat view from the little balcony. Some recent renovations evident made for a tidy stay. Great staff were all very helpful and professional."

"This hotel is tired and dated. Whilst the staff make every effort to be great hosts the whole venue lacks any wow factor. The walls are damaged and marked - rips out of wallpaper. There are no lifts so you can expect to carry your own luggage up the stairs. My bathroom was full of hair when I arrived, I asked for it to be cleaned. The manager sent the trainee from the restaurant up to clean with a microfibre cloth - at 10pm they arrived with a vacuum. Dinner was a shambles - ordered a Medium Rare steak - it was medium well, served with YELLOW broccoli and 'bubble n squeak' was mash with cabbage mixed through. To compensate for the state of my room I was offered breakfast complementary - declined. Beds are comfortable, showers need a deep clean to remove all the mold from the edges. Disappointing venue and should not carry the Distinction Branding - no comparison to Christchurch. Management should invest in the whole venue. Expensive accomodation for what received"

"We had a wonderful 5 days here, great location and a great place to stay. Our hosts Rose and Paul were great and no question was left unanswered "

"We had a wonderful stay and we’re sure we’ll come again. Kathryn and Kevin were so helpful and welcoming, as were the gorgeous doggos. The location is perfect and the cottage is very comfortable."

"Raewyn and Theo are very welcoming hosts. The studio is beautifully clean and has a lovely view. Very relaxing and peaceful. Very well equipped kitchen and good bathroom."

"Had a lovely stay here with my fur baby. The house was immaculately clean and well presented. The covered deck was really great and I spent most of the time I was there sitting out there. The beach is just a very short walk thru the reserve and is absolutely stunning. We had some good swims and walks. The facilities in the house were good. Lounge is very comfy and welcoming. Lots of outdoor furniture to while away the time on. Thanks very much Carrie. "
