Nothing not to like here.

Beautifully redecorated, amazing sea views and the sound of the waves at night are so soothing! The kitchen is well stocked and there is sky tv as well. The beds are so comfortable and the linen is fresh and luxurious. Norma and Ian were very helpful and easy to communicate with.

The villa is emaculate, stylish and comfortable. There is a playground within walking distance, and a literal 1 min walk to the beach - which the kids loved. We could hear the waves and had an amazing view of the ocean. The owners are super friendly and helpful. The location is a perfect spot between the shops in Coopers Beach and Mangonui.

We had a fantastic stay here, the view from the villa was incredible! Norma was lovely and made us feel right at home. The facilities were great, the villa was clean and cosy. Having steps right down to the beach was a bonus for an early morning walk. Our boys particularly liked having the freedom to explore and also making a little friend....Bob the cat. If you are looking for a base to explore the Northland, Sunlit Bay Villas is perfect!

What a fabulous place. We had Villa 1 and the views were spectacular! One way the beach, the other was through a huge beautiful pohutakawa. The beds were super comfy, roomy lounge, huge TV, very well appointed kitchen and truly AMAZING shower with great water pressure. Hosts were so kind and full of fun! Everything is new, so very tidy! Easy access to beach with a hose to wash your feet upon return! Highly recommended, even in winter it would be great and cozy!! We had the most stunning sunset on arrival!

A gorgeous, newly renovated apartment style unit—spotlessly clean, with stunning ocean views. The check-in process was seamless, and the host was incredibly welcoming. It was the perfect stop on our road trip to Maitai Bay and the Kerikeri Peninsula (highly recommend making the short 30-minute drive north from here!). That said, Coopers Beach, right in front of the hotel, is absolutely breathtaking as well.

Beautiful property with amazing views - really comfortable beds and well thought out units. Norma and Al are wonderful hosts and nothing is too much trouble.

it is a pricey stay per night but do think you should splurg every now and then and this was one of those things to do so.

outstanding view, even from growing up there stil coming back and seeing that from your deck is amazing :)

Only thing wrong is value for money, but thats new zealand prices they are no more expensive than anywhere else that provides the same or even less quality. Thanks team!

The beds were super comfortable., the cottage was newly refurbished (beautifully done) and the managers very friendly and helpful. Superb view and easy access to the beach , down the stairs, through the pohutukawas.

Was not a long enough stay, we can fix that next time. Couldnt find the reception area, however it was explained that the villas have been refurbished, and new sign regarding reception is on its way soon.

We were met by our hostess, and a calming sounds of the sea. Given the heat during our travel to get to Mangonui, the stay was healing and discreetly private (we were'nt isolated) We were within close proximity to our extended whanau too which was a plus. Cleanliness was excellent Thank you for your manaakitanga (hospitality and care).
