Cottage vacation rentals in Paihia

beautiful and peaceful place to stay. We loved it here, Hearing at the bird and looking at the beautiful view over the hills!

River Cottage was such a gem! The surroundings were like a jungle, the grounds were beautiful and there was fun activities like board games and kayaks. We were even able to borrow a fishing pole and caught a fish! I enjoyed walking around the farm property and river area. My favorite part was access to a lookout tower off the deck. I made my latte each morning and climbed up there to enjoy it while watching and listening to all the birds. Book this place, it's magical!

Our time at the Shearer’s cottage was absolutely magical. My husband and I stayed with our three children for three nights. We were all utterly delighted when we walked in the door - lots of excited gasps from everyone - the surroundings are gorgeous, the property is thoughtfully appointed and spotlessly clean… far enough from the madding crowd to feel peaceful and secluded, yet still a very convenient drive to Kerikeri and the Bay of Islands. Ian and Anna were very friendly and communicative and made us feel totally welcome. Allow time to make the most of this beautiful place. The dawn chorus is glorious! Make sure you opt in for the spa by the river. We really hope we can visit again. Thank you so much Ian and Anna.

Awesome Stay Bruce and right across the road from the ramp and gas station fantastic.

Amazing place to stay. We were blown away with all the wee extras provided. Awesome place to stay with kids. Highly recommend. Great communication from host and offering alternative options with weather event.

Gorgeous! Well located, beautiful private cottage. You cannot go wrong booking with Steve, Dot and Charlie. Wish we had time to stay longer; will definitely return.

The bach was lovely, real kiwi bach also Toni was amazing to deal with and left clear instructions on how to get to the bach as well as checking ourselves in Had everything you possibly would need for a trip away I absolutely loved the place and such an awesome area! The beach would be perfect for kids or swimmers who aren't to confident as the waves aren't strong at all but also have the option of a short walk to the end of the beach to a big shallow area with very little to no waves I really recommend this little bach, I fell in love and definitely would stay again!!

Everything was easy, clean and exactly how we expected it. Booking, check in and check out was uncomplicated. Definitely a great spot if you just want to relax and enjoy! Garden, terrace and house are beautiful and the short walk to the beach is amazing. We would definitely recommend this place and come again!

Easily one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had! So many thoughtful touches and extremely well equipped for our stay with our dog and baby which made our little trip away so lovely. Such a cute charming little stay and excellent value for money, we were also very happy we could book for just one night. The surrounding areas on the property are so peaceful and serene I just wish we had more time to enjoy it!

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

We had a great stay, Place was perfect for our fishing trip. Good off street parking for our large boat with plenty of fridge and freezer space. Everything we needed Thank for a great stay Tui

If it were possible we'd give this place 10 stars! You won't regret staying here, at your own private slice of Taupo Bay paradise. Whether you're just a couple or with a big group of friends, Gary and Debbie's place is perfect for you. Brilliant communication from area experts. We hope to be back soon 😊

We absolutely loved our stay here! It was me, my partner, my sister, her partner, and their newborn — and the space was perfect for all of us. The house was fresh, clean, and beautifully maintained. Being right on the beach made it even more special — private, peaceful, and ideal for a relaxing getaway. The host went above and beyond by providing breakfast items and treats, which we really appreciated. There were also heaps of games available, which we definitely made use of and had a lot of fun with. You can really feel the care that’s gone into creating a welcoming and comfortable space. We’d definitely love to come back — highly recommend!

Our days started with a beautiful beach walk. An easy access via a short walkway out to the main road and beach, about 100mts from the cottage entrance. Lots to do in all directions. The night sky was so clear on the last night of our 3 day stay. Truely a star gazers heaven. Paradise. Thank you Sarah for our most restful stay.

We were absolutely blessed to stay here for my 21st celebration. It was everything we could have wanted and more. Sally and Kevin were amazing and helpful with everything right from the moment we got there. A truly beautiful spot. Highly recommend:)

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!

We loved staying here, exactly what we needed, they even led our tamariki down to the creek to see the tuna! The house had everything and was absolutely sparkling. Great kitchen to cook in, and a generous friendly host.

Cute cottage very comfortable for 2 especially in the cooler months as main living area is small Great location with gorgeous 5 min walk into Russell , and 15 mins to the flagstaff hill , amazing views . James was generous with flexible check in and offered us a late check out . His list of suggestions were super helpful . Not a lot of sun ( end of May ) but a lovely bushy setting .

A very peaceful location with a wonderful and friendly host! I would definitely recommend and wish I stayed longer :)

wonderful little cottage, quiet and peaceful, had everything we needed

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!
