Beachfront vacation rentals in Admiralty Bay

We had a beautifully relaxing and energising couple of days at Tira Ora. The hosts were super lovely, the place was full of rustic charm, animals and birds everywhere. The rooms were comfortable, home-cooked food was delicious, and the place so captivating, we were sorry to have to leave. Great for families, a real natural treat away from it all.

We had a wonderful family Christmas holiday by the sea. The location is amazing being on Queen Charlotte Sound with beautiful views across Waikawa and the sea. We went fishing from the jetty and very much appreciated the use of the paddle boards and kayak and hot tub. Its one of those places where you don't feel you need to 'go anywhere' but to just stay and relax which I guess is what holidays are for. It was hard to leave this holiday home

Great stay at Nicky and Tim’s place during Easter break. Very good communication from hosts and house was exactly as described. Full amenities provided and great spaces for our family to hang out in. Dogs loved the yard. Thanks for the stay.

Lovely cottage and great view highly recommended

Me, my sis & dog loved our stay at David’s Airbnb! David was very helpful & welcoming. The airbnb was very tidy, warm and cosy. We had a long drive up as, we were driving from Invercargill so, to arrive with the stunning views this Airbnb gifts you felt very rewarding. Thanks!

Loved Ruth's place and really found an appreciation for the art. Awesome location nice and central to town and bars and restaurants close by with beautiful views and all the homely things you could need. Place was also really cosy and homely

We had an amazing stay at Ben’s house.Its in a great location and has a great fireplace: the beds were very comfortable and loved being able to use the kayaks. The Fejoa tree was enjoyed by the kids

Lovely one night stay. Close to ferry. All that we needed. Easy check in and out. All amenities and some lovely thoughtful personal touches included as extras.

We have had the most amazing stay! The apartment is even better than it looks in the photos! View to die for from the enormous balcony, super comfortable beds, high end appliances & friendly accommodating hosts… we don’t want to leave!

Fantastic spacious property, well maintained and equipped. Great views, safe parking, quiet. Short distance from Picton, excellent for Waikawa Marina, great views of the sound. Wonderful place to stay.

Kay’s cottage is gorgeous, looks exactly as the pictures do. The surroundings are something else and having access to the kayaks, paddle boards and dingy were a great assets. We arrived on a stunning Autumn day and go out onto the ocean right away.. Three bedroom are all close together upstairs and downstairs was a cosy open plan kitchen dining lounge area. The road there isn’t for the faint of heart but when you get there it’s very much worth it!! We wish we stayed longer.

Paul’s house and setting matched our expectations from the listing. It was very clean, tidy, spacious, warm and nicely furnished. The lounge, dining and kitchen area looked out across the garden to the beach. Unfortunately it rained for most of our short stay so we didn’t take as much advantage of the outdoor setting and facilities as we might have otherwise done. Despite that our party of 4 adults and 3 children all enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very welcoming and were quick to answer any queries we had.

Karryn’s place was a nice comfortable apartment with convenient parking. The location was close to town but not close enough to walk to. Had it been a warmer season it would have been a great location for a bike ride and bikes were provided. We would recommend Karryn’s place.

Sarah and Hamish are perfect hosts. Their place is definitely gorgeous and they are kind, thoughtful, helpful and a kiwitastic couple . Went above and beyond when transport issues arose. Thank you so much . Wish we'd had more time.... Gotta come back!! 😊 Thanks a million

Had an amazing stay at Little Break Tahunanui. Toni provided clear instructions and check in was a breeze. The place was just like in the photos and the water pressure in the bathrooms was fantastic. All in all we had an excellent stay. Would recommend.

This Airbnb exceeded our expectations. There was lots of room for the group of us. It had all the appliances and utensils needed in their kitchen. The hosts were great communicators and provided us with all the information we needed to get to the bnb and how to explore the surrounding areas.

We had English relatives with us and a 2 year old and everyone was impressed. Nessie loved all the toys and we forgot the pram but there was a buggy for us to use!

perfect for our needs, great location. the spiral stairs were a bit tricky to navigate but ok once we got the hang of them. would definitely be happy to stay there again

We’ve just had a lovely stay at Rocky Point. The surroundings are absolutely stunning, the photos don’t do it justice. The place is simple but well equipped for a short stay, and the bed was so comfortable. Sian and Holly were really helpful, responsive, and welcoming hosts. Really recommend for a truly unique, serene stay.
