Pacific Ocean Heights
We enjoyed our stay very much! The place is located on a elevated spot above Whakatane with breathtaking views! Lorraine was extremely accommodating and making us feel like home! The place is very spacious with more than enough space for our group of six adults and two kids - they even had a kids toy box! Thank you!

Rose Apartments Unit 2 With Private Spa
We had a fantastic weekend stay at this lovely 2-bedroom unit in Rotorua. The place was spotless, beautifully presented, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The private outdoor spa was an absolute highlight—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. It’s conveniently located close to the city but still peaceful and quiet. The host was amazing—communication was clear, friendly, and timely, which made everything super easy. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again

Parawai Bay Lakeside Retreat
Lauren and Sam This was a very lovely place right next to the lake. Can see the lake from the bed and there is heaps of ducks. Lauren and Sam were kind and responsive while also making sure your experience was private.

Beautiful Lakefront Location
The best thing about the place is that it's near Lake Rotorua. It doesn't look amazing from the outside, but inside it's pretty good and really spacious.

Lakeside Luxury
Beautiful, spotless space with everything we could need. Great for the kids. Thank you Lynley for sharing your bach with us

This property was perfect for our stay. It is in a quiet neighbourhood and we had easy access to all that we wanted to do during our holiday.

Historic Barn Loft - Private & Spacious
We had a lovely stat at Barn loft . The place was beautifully presented and very cosy, making it the perfect retreat. Being able to bring our dog along was an added bonus that made our trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

'Villa Casa Maria' Luxury Tuscan Villa
What a fantastic house to stay in, it really feels like you are in Italy. It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. It was lovely to have the open fire for the colder nights and the well setup outside area for the warm sunny days. There were heaps of activities and games to play. We loved our family stay here.

Relaxing beach-front living.
thanks Fiona, we loved our stay and would love to come back. such a great location . 10/10

Walk to the Forest & Redwoods Treewalk + Spa Pool
This house was perfect for our small group of friends to catch up & relax. The proximity to redwoods & a park was excellent and we loved the hot spa. The kitchen had all we needed & the heat pump kept us cosy. Bedrooms were chilly so we appreciated the electric blankets.

Mt Maunganui - white rabbit cottage
The cottage is in a great location. It was smaller than expected and unfortunately we were unable to sit outside but otherwise the cottage was a great place for a relaxing vacation. Would recommend and stay there again. Thanks Sharon.

Sunny Mount Beach Bach
Great little place to stay, super close to the beach. We visited with our two year old and it was a perfect space for a family. Has everything you need. Would stay again.

Charming warm self contained guest-suite
Great place for a short stay with our puppy in Tauranga, and not too far from most places that we wanted to go since we had a car. The room was warm, spacious and comfortable, had everything we needed. Jacqui has been responsive and helpful to our needs/questions. Walking distance to a beautiful park, which our puppy had such great time running around.

Modern Mount apartment in top location
Really enjoyed out stay. Fantastic location and a great sized apartment. The kids loved the pools and it was super convenient to have the use of 2 car parks. Thanks for having us and sorting out a porta cot. We'd love to come and stay again :)

All Welcome Premium Property SkyLine
Quirky fun layout. Very practical & roomy enough for 9 guests. The kids loved that the pool was available even though it was Easter weekend. Roszarri was very helpful and welcoming.

Awesome wee modern cottage only about 5 minutes from Kati Kati township. Would happily stay again.

Full holiday home to yourself, up to 21 guests
Atiamurphy is one of the best AirBNB places we have stayed at. Service provided, Host Communication and the Location, is perfect, for me at least. kids will have a blast, parents will get their peace, and travellers will scratch that itch whilst here! Thank you to Barry for your support throughout our stay

Gemini Quality lakeside accommodation Whole House
Great place for our family vacation. Kids LOVED the trampoline and playground. Only thing that was an issue was the sloping ceilings in the upstairs bedrooms - tall folks need to watch out for their head. Otherwise we loved the hospitality. Had snacks laid out for us , and just went the extra mile for us. Highly recommend this for families.

Papamoa Family Beach Retreat (200m from beach)
We had a wonderful stay at Gloria’s. absolute perfect for 3 kids under 5 with two adults. So much for the kids to do! Gloria had a huge range of toys available and the pool was perfect - beautifully heated and a nice area to be in. Full kitchen was great too. Definitely recommend 😊
