Casa del Mare was the perfect place for our getaway. We stayed in the Rome suite which was absolutely lovely and since we were the only guests we had the run of the guest lounge too! Breakfast in the morning was great with lots of homemade and homegrown treats. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Strangely, the thing I'll... More

We absolutely loved this place. It's like a little slice of Italy transplanted to one of New Zealands best beaches. Luxuriously quiet and relaxing accommodations, and our hosts Graham and De'arne go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Almost like meeting long lost friends . The location is great, from here you can walk to the beach,... More

The Casa del Mare was a wonderful place to stay. We stayed in The Rome suite and our daughter and partner in The Paris suite. Our room was elegant, with a king size bed which gave us a wonderful nights sleep. It had a completely separate bathroom, with everything you would need. The room opened out onto a delightful patio... More

Casa del Mare was a wonderful find - a fabulous B&B tucked away in Papamoa, close to the beach. Our hosts, Graham and De'arne, were welcoming, helpful and friendly. The accommodation was immaculate with two double bedrooms off a guest lounge, gorgeous bedding, separate ensuite bathrooms with wet rooms and every possible amenity as well as a number of delightful...

'Casa del mare' Bed and Breakfast is like a little oasis and we couldn't believe our luck when we arrived to such a warm welcome and luxurious comfort in our beautiful suite, Rome, which had it's own bathroom and patio, leading onto an Italianate garden. Staying for four nights gave us time to fully appreciate the effort which goes into... More

We booked here at the last minute and were not disapointed. We had an early morning after the first night and were pleasently surprised when our hosts also got up to make sure we had breakfast and could find our way to Whakatane. We stayed in the Paris room which was perfect for what we needed. More

A stay at the Casa del Mare is less like staying in a B&B and more like staying in a beautiful boutique hotel. De'arne's taste in home furnishing and decor is fantastic there are loads of wonderful little touches throughout the house and this is carried through to the guest experience with personalised name cards on the bedside tables. The... More

We had the pleasure to spend 5 nights at the Casa Del Mare, the beautiful home of De' Arme & Graham. We were immediately impressed with the beautiful design, large scale, and quality of home & garden. We enjoyed the delicicious breakfasts they prepared on the terrace so that we could soak in the million dollar view of the Pacific... More

My partner and I stayed with De'arne when we were in Papamoa for a wedding. Sadly we were only there one night and so weren't able to fully enjoy the room and facilities (oh man where do you get those sweet pillows and bedding?!), but we were able to get a taste of De'arne's fabulous hospitality. The place has a... More
