Bay Guesthouse great beach getaway has the luxury to have two beaches to offer. The Waimarama Beach with the million-dollar beach houses for weekends breaks and the beautiful Ocean Beach. Both not more than 10 minutes drive away. Waimarama Beach is the one for the girl's beach weekend because of the stretch of public grass to walk in front of the fancy beach houses.

Ocean Beach is a beautiful long and wide couples beach getaway perfect for long walks. Both beaches are sandy beaches.

Our unique luxury accommodation has a beachfront view from a bird's eyes point safely located on the Waimarma coastal hilltop.

Both house beaches are offering typical fun things to do. An ice cream shop in Waimarama, million-dollar houses along your beach stroll and surf lifeguards during peak season (Check their website).

The Ocean Beach around the corner is wilder and by many the preferred beach. It's a long beach that offers a wide sand stretch to walk along for hours towards the Cape Kidnapper. Surf lifeguards are present in the peak season - (Check their website).

Below is a list of things we think it's good fun, and we believe it answeres one crucial question:

"What to do for a weekend getaway in Hawke's Bay?"

Youtube has a great choice of what Hawkes Bay has on offer for all kind of visitors. Watch what we found for you for your Weekend Getaway with some ideas for what to do. 

Who are your hosts? What is their story? How did they found this magical place on the east coast? Why did they build a private and secluded weekend getaway cottage? Some of the questions are answered below. Some will be answered once you are here - Smiling hosts!

A weekend stay in Winter in our small boutique hotel on the coast is well worth a weekend trip and a retreat for couples. The modern contemporary building with nice European features is well insulated. It's delightful to watch the cold winter weather over the rough sea through the double glass.

Armando loves to cook in the wood-fired bread and pizza oven in the kitchen of the main house. For him, it is about getting the basics right without using technology and feel the heat and the cosiness of the wood-fired oven. Join him with a glass of wine by the open fire and watch how simple Italian food gets cooked in front of your eyes.

Winter, Spring, Summer or Autumn - Each season has its highlights. January and February are the month's to be in the Bay. For example, in late November and December, we change our Weekend Getaway place for couples in a Christmas Hotel with magic European Christmas decoration.

To find out if you should visit the Bay in September, October, November or perhaps even wait until April, Mai or June. Each season or month offers a good reason why to visit Hawke's Bay to enjoy a quick weekend holiday. We tell you what you may want to know for your weekend planning or you may like to get some weekend ideas.
