Vacation rentals with beach access in North Island

We loved every minute of our stay here in Raglan- and this ocean-view oasis was the perfect home base to relax and enjoy the scenery. The view was, of course, incredible- we watched surfers in the waves for hours. We greatly enjoyed the amenities like the hot tub and sauna, and found the location to be perfect, with just a short drive into the town with coffee shops & restaurants, and close to the beaches where we spent most of our time. We absolutely loved our stay here and hope to come back!

This is an absolutely charming apartment to stay in and we enjoyed it immensely. Lynne is the perfect host - warm and welcoming but also attentive to our needs. There was a selection of goodies when we arrived and she baked the most amazing fresh muffins for us the following morning. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated with an inspiring collection of furniture and framed photographs. There is also a bookcase with a discerning and eclectic collection of books if you’re interested in reading- which I was. The real highlight of the apartment is the view. There is wide, expansive view of Auckland’s harbour and you are not overlooked by any of the neighbouring houses. Sitting there on the super comfy couch, with a cup of tea while looking out on the water is simply bliss. Overall, this a marvellous place to stay and simply on a higher level to many other similar apartments. We highly recommend it and will certainly come back.

Its the perfect spot, great apartment, great location... close to everything and would definitely stay again next time we are in The Mount

We absolutely loved our stay in the Pacifica room! The suite was beautifully kept, peaceful and surrounded by nature. We had everything we needed and more including the gorgeous spa overlooking the ocean. Dave was super helpful and responsive. We’d come back in a heartbeat!

We stayed here for five nights to support some planned surgery at a nearby hospital and working remotely during the recovery period. The location was perfect for us and very close to the beach which is great for walks. The apartment is also close to Milford shopping centre which has everything you need for self-catering. Michaela was always very responsive and helpful with any requests and being able to park the car down the bottom of the driveway was really helpful. The apartment is peaceful and a great place to base yourself for a short or longer stay in Auckland.

5 star accommodation and location. Perfect for a stay in Paihia. Aynsley was the perfect host . We shall always seek out to stay here when visiting Paihia.

What a relaxing and peaceful few days break at this beautiful accomodation. Waking up to the sounds of the waves, sitting on the balcony and enjoying the view we couldn’t have had a more enjoyable stay. You won’t find many places like this in the world and we look forward to coming back sometime soon.

We really enjoy our stay at this lovely apartment. Great size for family of 4 (2 adults+2 kids). The seaview from the apartment is awesome. Rozelle is very friendly to communicate and she gets everything well prepared. Highly recommended. Thanks so much!

Had a really nice stay here. A beautiful location and view from the house. Really peaceful and relaxing. Nice interior homely vibe with everything you need. Would recommend.

Our second time staying here and so worth it. Amazing location with beautiful surroundings. Very private and peaceful

Absolutely loved our stay here - it's a stunning place with everything you need and amazing views! it's just a little walk down to the beach, or a 10 minute drive to driving creek railway which is well worth a visit when you're in the area. Judith was lovely and very clear with her instructions. Would definitely stay here again!

This beautiful Airbnb is a home away from home. It is equipped with everything you need for a relaxing, wonderful stay. The photos do the home justice, and everything is as it appears to be. The outdoor space is delightful and the smallest of details have been carefully thought out. The space is a mix of Kiwi charm and Balinese culture. An absolute plus for us that we could bring our furbaby along, this is something I wish more Airbnb's did, so thank you Lynley, Dave and Wickett. The bathroom and bedroom were immaculately clean, and the shower is equally as good as ours as home (which is often hard to match). We have no doubt we'll be back at some point. Sincere thanks. :)

Sky House was perfect – stunning views, peaceful and homely. Spotlessly clean with everything we needed. Ideal for families, close to nature walks and beautiful bays. A serene escape from the hustle and bustle. The sunsets were unforgettable. Truly a magical spot we’ll definitely be back.

Absolutely magical location and views! We loved everything about our stay. The location is incredible - just up a few steps from the beach but still incredibly private; stunning views all day long; gorgeous indoor and outdoor spaces which were spotlessly clean and well organised and had everything we needed; the bed was super-comfortable; the spa was perfect; the indoor/outdoor shower was ingenious; the communication was prompt and friendly; and check-in and out couldn’t have been more simple. All in all, our experience was exceptional!

This is a great place in a lovely location. The house is cute and comfy with everything you need and beautiful views. The host is friendly & even provided us with local coffee & milk. An easy walk to the beach & to town. The town itself is super cute with lots of fun shops & yummy food to eat. Would highly recommend anyone stay here. We love it!

Beautiful home, perfectly set up with everything you might need. Very cosy, lovely furnishings, linen & little details. The fire was a treat & kept entire place warm for my elderly mum. Melanie is a great host, very helpful, thoughtful & went the extra mile to make our stay a perfect one. highly recommend.

Perfect apartment to stay at in Wellington. Everything was as per the booking description etc.

We had an amazing four night stay here. The apartment was excellently furnished, the location effectively on the lakefront was fantastic and the outlook across the lake to Mount Tarawera was beautiful. We could not have wished for more. Thank you Murray for being such a great host

great place, thank you

This is our second time here and very happy that we were lucky enough to be able to book it. This place is absolutely fabulous, decorated with impeccable taste, super comfortable, super clean and it has a beautiful garden to look at and our host was just amazing. It is by far our favourite AirBnb.

Great hosts. The Airbnb was super comfortable and peaceful. Fantastic location near walks and the beach.

We really enjoyed our stay at Irene’s. It was great to be so close to the beach and there were lots of shops and cafes within walking distance. It’s a scenic 20 minute drive to Snow Planet is that is part of your holiday plans. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay a pleasure. Irene was so friendly, helpful and caring. We would definitely stay again.

Short drive from the airport, Close to lots of amazing cafes, the beach, and hot pools. Fantastic views from the top of Mount Maunganui - worth the climb. Hot pools were great to soak away any aches after the climb.

We had an amazing time at Jo’s place. We received very clear instructions, the place was so beautiful with an amazing view. Perfect time to relax. We will definitely be back.
