And the location was superb. The views were unbelievable. Such beauty in every direction. It was a restorative, restful and uplifting stay.

Amazing views from this property unfortunately the unit was a bit tired and furniture not so comfortable. They don't supply a little bottle of milk on arrival so remember to take your own milk (we found this a bit unwelcoming) They have a pool but you must pay for your pool towels (again this is unfriendly) Hotel prices but it is run more like a campground. If you go, go prepared with milk for your tea/coffee and take pool towels.

Location, location, location. It's hard to beat this property for ocean views. The property itself is older style, and being older ourselves, we weren't fond of the balcony bedroom in our unit. There are few food options at the Rendezvous, but there are a few good ones in town. OVerall a good, if brief, stay.

Stayed here for two nights in Feb – specifically due to the vicinity of Dive Tutukaka. Ian helped me at check-in and was extremely friendly and helpful! He provided a local map and details on the area, hikes, restaurants, etc. There is a small store connected to the reception desk to purchase snacks, beverages, etc. You can also rent a beach towel if needed.

The place is very cozy and clean. I stayed in a studio, which has ocean views from the back patio on the main level and the bedroom upstairs. The units are self-accommodating. The unit does have wifi although it continuously cut in and out for me. The unit I stayed in had AC on the main level but not upstairs, which was exceptionally hot.

Location-wise – it’s pretty secluded and VERY relaxing and quiet. In that aspect, I’d give it 10 stars. On the other end of the spectrum, it is not walkable if you want to be within walking distance of a shops/stores, etc. As a solo traveler, I felt completely safe.

There are 2 ocean hikes/beaches that are private to Pacific Rendezvous – Harbour Beach and Ocean Beach. Whale Bay and Matapouri Bay are a short drive away. There is an onsite pool, playground area, tennis court, game room, laundry room, etc.

With the AC, I'd probably give it 4.5 stars but that's not an option so rounding up. I really enjoyed my time here and would definitely stay again. The views and ocean sounds are the absolute best if you are looking for some quiet and relaxation.

Apartments are a little old fashioned but very clean and tidy. We were in unit 13 looking towards Poor Knight Islands, the views were just stunning! Our apartment was huge for the 2 of us. The bathroom, kitchen and living were downstairs and the bedroom upstairs. This worked ok but some might prefer a closer toilet in the night! The apartment gets lots of sun, we were very lucky with the weather while there, this also meant sleeping at night was a little difficult. We used a fan which helped but perhaps air-con might be a useful addition in the future.

Easy check-in and beautiful location, however I'm very disappointed with the unit we stayed in. It desperately needs to be updated. The place smelled old/dirty, the furniture was in poor condition, the bedding was not clean.... I even found what appeared to be blood on the wall and mirror in the bathroom. While they give you milk at check-in, there was only instant coffee provided and the kettle appeared to have some sort of mold situation going on. It's such a beautiful location so we just stayed out of our room as much as possible. So much potential in this property, but the unit we were given was awful.

Wonderful cliff top property

This was terrific place to stay, just wish we had more time to enjoy it! He complex is private and well laid out. The seagulls are noisey but generally added to the cliff top feel of the place, the views are terrific from our two storey unit. One or two maintenance issues but nothing to affect our enjoyment of the place. Tutukaka restaurants also very good (recommend the Tuscan Seafood soup at Snapper Rock!)

Superb ocean view

View of ocean was great, only negative were the cars driving past our unit (no.8) and people walking by, who coldn’t resist looking in our lounge window. So not exactly very private, but the view more than made up for it. It’s surprising they didn’t design the layout better so that the main access way went behind the unit.
The bed was very comfortable. Furnishings modern & kitchen really well equipped.
