Villa in Russell

Cloud 9

The sea, boundless and blue, dominates this hilltop villa in the Bay of Islands. It fills the views from the sun-kissed deck and even finds its way indoors, in touches like the kitchen’s sea-green cabinets. Pack a picnic to take down to the beach a half-mile away, or book a helicopter or jet-ski ride for an adrenaline rush along with dramatic coastal scenery. Follow a winding private road to the heights above the Bay of Oneroa—and your own outdoor living areas with a pool, hot tub, lounging and dining furniture, and a barbecue. There’s an espresso machine to fuel all your holiday adventures, and a smart TV and Wi-Fi to help you relax when you return from them. This vacation rental is bordered on 3 sides by a wraparound deck, and a glass wall connects the al-fresco spaces with the indoor great room. Sunlight bounces off the honey-toned wood floors and whitewashed ceiling in the living and dining areas, and sea green cabinets are a soft touch in the fully equipped kitchen and breakfast bar. This luxury property has one honeymoon-worthy master suite with a king bed, en-suite bathroom, and its own terrace. The other 2 bedrooms have a king bed and 2 twin beds, and share access to a hall bathroom, making them ideal for a family traveling with children. From the villa’s perch, it’s a half-mile down the hill to the nearest beach. But your explorations should continue to the nearby town of Russell, where you can stop for lunch or dinner at waterfront cafes and restaurants housed in historic buildings, and Paihia, New Zealand’s first capital and the starting point for your choice of boat cruises, swims with dolphins, and fishing excursions going after the area’s famed black marlin.

Villa in Tutukaka

Makoha Retreat

Watch as sailboats navigate Tutukaka Harbour from the furnished balcony at this modern villa in northern New Zealand. Feel the cool sea breeze as you finish off your morning espresso. Then, head inside for a quick bite at the breakfast bar before heading out to explore New Zealand. A great place to snap a few pictures and work on your tan is Whale Bay Beach, named for its most famous visitors. Designed with the view in mind, Makoha Retreat’s floor-to-ceiling windows let you fully enjoy the harbour, especially in the unobstructed corner of the living room. An open-concept layout makes it easy to gather the group for dinner, casual hangouts, and even while someone is working away in the kitchen. After dinner, treat the group to a locally crafted bottle of wine in the terrace lounge. When the sun has set, get behind the wet bar and unleash your inner mixologist, turn up the sound system, or let the entertainer in your group show off on the piano. Later, when it cools off, move the party to the hot tub and melt any lingering stress away. In the morning, burn some of those calories off with the exercise equipment or take the kayak or stand-up paddleboard out for a spin. Feeling adventurous? It’s time to try scuba diving at the Poor Knights Islands. Forged by an ancient volcano, this series of islands is home to a vast array for sea creatures and corals, as well as the world’s largest sea cave, Rikoriko. Keep going to Sandy Bay and take a surfing lesson at one of the country’s most popular spots. If you’re not into surfing, the beach is perfect for picnics and horseback riding.
