Ocean Crest.
TAIRUA. COROMANDEL. NEW ZEALAND.
Absolute Beachfront Comfort.
This elegant coastal Villa is set on the pristine shores of Tairua Beach in the heart of New Zealand’s Coromandel Peninsula, framed by the commanding silhouette of Mount Paku and the meeting of golden sands with the Pacific Ocean. Ocean Crest draws its name from this unique positioning between summit and sea.
Enjoying the rare privilege of absolute beachfront stays, the accommodation is surrounded by uninterrupted ocean views and direct access to pristine shoreline, moments from your front door.
Designed in timeless Hampton style, it offers a refined coastal retreat in one of the region’s most sought-after seaside locations, with Hot Water Beach and Cathedral Cove just a scenic drive away.
Ocean Crest is the perfect place to unwind, reconnect and experience coastal luxury in the heart of the Coromandel.
Restore Recharge Reconnect.
Ocean Crest offers a curated collection of amenities designed for relaxation and ease. Unwind in the outdoor spa overlooking Tairua Beach, where birdsong and sunset skies create a memorable setting.
Art flows throughout the property, from the landing gallery to the library and living, each piece reflecting the rhythm and energy of the Coromandel coast. Sculptural works by local artists Ian Webster echo the curves of Tairua’s shoreline, Bernie Ross’s woven forms honour Māori fibred traditions through a contemporary lens, and Gillie and Marc’s bronze surfers add a playful tribute to the local surf culture — perfectly suited to one of New Zealand’s iconic beachfront retreats.

What Our Visitors Are Saying.
“Ocean Crest Villa beach house was an absolute dream and the perfect place for our family vacation in the Coromandel. The location alone is unbeatable—the house is truly right on the beach. The front yard is the beach, and being just steps from a huge, open stretch of sand was the best part of our stay. The house itself is incredibly luxurious and no detail was overlooked.
The hospitality from the managers, Jaye and Helin, truly set this stay apart. It felt like a masterclass in hospitality and made us feel cared for from the moment we arrived.
This was hands down the best experience our family could have asked for! We had a relaxing, memorable, and truly exceptional beach vacation at this dream house!”
