Mercury Orchard is a place to relax, rejuvenate and just be. The private property of five acres combines country-style luxury accommodation with an organic mixed orchard and beautiful gardens set up to permaculture principals, old tall trees, countless flowers and birds. Our guest are welcome to have a swim in our mineral salt water pool and interact with our friendly farm animals. The Paua Bach is a studio style cottage with a king size bed and a sofa-bed and is ideal for a couple or small family. It has a well equipped kitchenette with two bench top hot plates, microwave, fridge, BBQ on the private deck and all utensils you need to prepare simple meals. The special feature of this cottage is an old fashioned outside bath to enjoy a hot bath under the stars. This cottage is very private with two decks catching the morning and evening sun overlooking the orchard. Families with children of any age are welcome. We have a big trampoline to jump on, a swing, a sandpit, a flying fox and many toys our son Levon is happy to share. On request we can provide a portable cot, children plates and cutlery, books and toys. Please ask us.

We live on site and would like to meet the people who stay on our property. We will welcome you personally and show you your space and make sure you have everything you need for a pleasant stay. We are happy to give you lots of tips on where to go and what to see also off the beaten tourist tracks. But we also respect your privacy and give you the space to unwind and relax. If you need us, someone is always here.

Beautiful beaches are only a few minutes drive away: Hot Water Beach where you can dig a hole in the sand and relax in the natural hot water. Beautiful historic Cooks Beach and Hahei Beach. Clean, clear water ideal for swimming. Or explore world-famous Cathedral Cove and the Hahei Marine reserve. Take a walk to the Pa or book a trip on a sightseeing cruise and discover the spectacular Mercury Bay coastline. We are lucky to have a number of excellent cafés and restaurants nearby to enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner if you don't want to cook it yourself.
