Vacation rentals with a kayak in Bream Bay

I absolutely loved everything about my stay at the Piki Cottage and can highly recommend it. It is so peaceful, private and relaxing, has everything you need, plus the hosts are so generous, friendly and quick responding. There are so many things to do in the surrounding area, or you can enjoy and explore this wonderful huge garden. I could have stayed forever. Thank you for everything!

We had a wonderful weekend and created some truly beautiful memories in this stunning home. The fireplace was a lovely touch, especially during the chilly mornings and evenings. The kitchen was modern, stylish and very practical, with a massive island bench that worked perfectly for our group. It made cooking and sharing meals together so easy and enjoyable. The hosts were readily available through the Airbnb app whenever we had questions, and they graciously allowed us a slightly later check-out as we were having such a beautiful weekend. The instructions for using the house facilities and checking out were clear and really helpful. The spa pool was amazing and added an extra layer of relaxation to an already perfect weekend. I will definitely be coming back again. Thank you for such a memorable stay.

Anne was incredibly responsive on messages. Made us feel welcome and we had a lovely stay at her Airbnb. The location is incredible, right by the sea. The kayaks and paddle board were a great addition. We were very lucky to have even seen some dolphins while kayaking. Wish we could have stayed longer !

We had an amazing stay!! Property is so lovely and view is incredible (both better in person!). Noeline was a great host, helpful communication throught. Would absolutely stay again!

Absolutely beautiful ocean views! Had the most relaxing time away with friend and we came back refreshed! Waking up to the stunning sun rises and sound of the ocean did wonders. Plenty of swimming spots close to the house, and the house was clean, spacious and well stocked with all the kitchen essentials plus more! Would recommend staying here to anyone looking for a spacious, modern house get away that’s private and close to beaches.

Beautiful sunrise straight into the bedroom - lovely start to every day. So peaceful, a simple place that gave us everything we needed.

What lovely home. Beautiful and quiet location near Marina. Great amenities and activities with thoughtful touches. Thank you Elly our family had a great time.

Natasha’s home is a wee gem just 5minutes drive from Matakana town centre. It is so well equipped - from sports equipment, wellness centre, beach gear to the kitchen. The hot tub, sauna and ice bath were superb. We booked for a midweek relaxation break and it delivered exactly that. We are avid ice bath lovers and it was nice to find an overnight escape that catered for the wellness type escape that we were after. Thank you :)

Such a beautiful little cottage by the beach — peaceful, charming, and full of character. It had everything we needed for a relaxing stay, and you can hear the ocean from the doorstep! The place was spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and super cosy, making it feel like a true home away from home. Sally and Kevin are such lovely hosts — warm, helpful, and respectful of your space. Whether you’re after beach walks, quiet mornings with a coffee, or just a break from the hustle, this cottage is the perfect escape. Would definitely come back!

Lovely family home with all that the description and photos promise and much more! A once in a lifetime location. We stayed here for the last days of our NZ trip and really appreciated relaxing and exploring the area and fabulous beaches north and south. A big thank you Carol!

Beautiful location, great batch, clear check in instructions

House is set amongst pohutukawa trees near the water, very pretty. Amenities were great for our group who were self catering. Lots of room for our group & the heaters keep the house cosy during the cooler evenings.

Jeremy & Andrea were helpful and friendly. We had a fantastic stay! The place was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The location was ideal, just a short walk to the beach, which was perfect for morning and evening walk One of the highlights was definitely the wood-fired pizza oven. It was such a fun we really enjoyed making pizzas and spending the evening outdoors

Kathryn’s place was amazing! We loved our stay. I couldn’t believe how well stocked it was. Everything we needed was there. It was extremely comfortable. The hospitality was so welcoming and we felt right at home. The view and the serenity take the cake though. Not often you get ocean, mountains, pastures, cows etc all at one place. Definitely recommend.

We had an excellent time at Lisa. Lisa wa super helpful and accommodating.

Rodger's Post is an absolute gem. It's simultaneously rustic and modern, very well appointed, extremely private yet accessible, and the hosts are spectacular. Everything you need is there, and it's incredibly clean. The location is rural but there's a pub a short jaunt down the road if you're up for some billiards and a pint or two, and a grocery store up the road in the opposite direction. Within reasonable reach is Ocean Beach for relaxation and surf, Mt Lion and Mt Manaia for some intense hikes and ridiculous views, and even if you're not feeling adventurous simply staying put with the right company is just as awesome. My partner and I will be back, top tier property!

I enjoyed my stay, extremely quiet being miles off a main road. water views with a friendly host allowing you access to all of the rural land.

Diane’s place was absolutely lovely! The service was above and beyond, the place was nice and cosy. It was super convenient being right off the highway, but so quiet you couldn’t tell. Beautiful fruit trees on the property. The hosts were available and friendly but also gave us our space.

Really enjoyed our stay at Clive’s place. He was a great host with lots of good recommendations. Pataua south is a beautiful location and we hope to be back. Cabin was just what we needed and very tidy. Perfect spot for a dog and the beach is only 10m outside of your own private gate!

Sean and Becs are outstanding hosts, and the cabin (particularly it's location) exceeded our expectations. We are walking Te Araroa and stopped here for a rest day- so had no vehicle. Sean was more than happy to take us to the shops (5km away) when they were heading that way and dropped us back to the trail when we left. They offered us veges from the garden, helpful advice and were all 'round great hosts and really nice people. The location is amazing and not mentioned much in the listing- the cabin looks out over a grapevines and a sloping lawn to the harbour. It's peaceful and relaxing, and the shower (in a small separate cabin ) is excellent. We didn't use the sauna but it is located right on the waters edge. Highly recommended!

Such an incredibly beautiful and private spot right by the water, with breathtaking views from sunrise to sunset. The Bird Box is also perfectly formed, thoughtfully kitted out with every amenity - it’s absolutely gorgeous inside and out. We feel so very lucky we got to stay here, have a hot cuppa on the deck as the day dawns or after a wonderful day of adventure in around the area - there’s so much to explore. Maxine’s a great host too and made us feel so welcome ❤️ we absolutely loved our stay!

We loved our stay, beautiful surroundings and nice to get to explore them with the kayaks and paddle boards available. Belinda and her husband were above and beyond hosts, will definitely be back!
