Relax & unwind in Matua.

DanielRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I would like to say that Rose & Wal were very welcoming, especially after a very long drive from Taranaki to Tauranga due to an unfortunate crash on the Awakino gorge. Everything was really cleaned and fresh. Next time i would like to bring my family and spend a good couple of days to enjoy the beautiful city more. Thanks again Rose and Wal.

Limitless Peaceful Water Views-Authentic Retreat

NeilRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Mark’s AirBnB is an experience rather than a stay. Is a combination of coastal rural Nz right on the doorstep (short boat ride away) from a bustling town Raglan where there are 5 star restaurants, super markets and everything you would need or expect. And the accomodation itself is nestled on a cliff top with 180 views of the harbour and if Raglan. Private, the feeling of seclusion and neighbour free - the best of both worlds made better by a host that balances your needs with respectful distance. Make a pizza in the wood fired oven and then warm your bones in the spa boat and arching the harbour u til the sun melts away listening to birds evening song. We can’t wait to head back and hopefully catch the big uncle of the 12 lb snapper we caught in the raglan harbour!!! Outstanding place.

Stunning lake view, thermal plunge pool, free WiFi

NarelleRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I’m not quite sure where to start, as there were so many great things about this holiday home. Firstly, thanks to our host for providing such a wonderful space for my family to stay and create happy memories together. We absolutely loved our time here! The property is very well maintained, both inside and out. (I think it’s even better than in the photos). It’s spacious yet cosy, with plenty of room to spread out, as well as great areas to hang out as a family. The kitchen is an excellent size and very well equipped. Of course the plunge pool is an added bonus that we really enjoyed, especially after a busy day of activities around Taupo. We appreciated the location as it’s away from the business of central town but close enough to easily get there in a couple of minutes by car. The neighbourhood is lovely and we really enjoyed walking around it and down to the lakeside. We would definitely highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Taupo.

Spacious Family Retreat with SPA

DanielRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Very spacious home with amenities. Close to the motorway. The house has a spa pool and very large living areas It was good value for money. The upstairs toilet seat for some reason is all singed and looks like it had been set on fire before? I would suggest replacing this. But overall a great home and value for money.

Stylish Spacious St Kilda

EstelleRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Josie and Rob's place was beyond perfect for a Birthday weekend getaway of 6 adults. Every amenity you could think of, they had; the house was so comfortable in so many aspects. Not to mention the location, which was close enough to town and walkable to St Kilda cafes, but still in the peaceful countryside of Cambridge. Couldn't fault Josie and Rob too, their communication and helpfulness were unmatched. We are already dreaming of coming back.

The kitchen is well equipped. The yard is beautiful. Catherine and Megan are excellent hosts. They are very helpful and kind. We truly appreciated them sharing their little slice of paradise with us. Thank you!

This spot is such a gem! It has a gorgeous garden which our little boy loved playing in. The house is beautifully finished , so comfortable and spotlessly clean. Its so well placed to be in the countryside but a short drive away from Tauranga and the Mount. We loved our stay here and hope to come and stay again. We highly reccomend a trip to the Quarry to see the gardens :)

Penelope’s place was the perfect stopover for our trip to the Hobbiton Movie Set! The house was spotlessly clean, wonderfully quiet, and had absolutely everything we needed for a comfortable night’s stay. The kitchen was well-equipped—we had all the essentials to prepare a meal. Highly recommended for a hassle-free layover
