Hahei Beach Resort Seaview Villa
Great stay, unreal location, awesome for kids. We will be back!

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.

The Orchard Cottage, Entirely self contained .
We spent 3 busy months traveling across New Zealand with our baby and we had the privilege of staying at Anne’s for our very last week. It was a week in paradise: an incredible view of farmland and mountains, songbirds galore, a beautiful citrus orchard and two incredible hosts who welcomed us like family. The place was spotless and so nicely decorated, generously equipped with everything you need. We had lots of room for our bub, whether for playing, eating or sleeping. The outdoor tub was a real treat, both for baby bath time and for stargazing at night! Anne went out of her way to make us feel at home and was so generous with our little one. He got to meet and feed farm animals and spent lots of time enjoying their swing. The location was ideal for a peaceful retreat, yet central for discovering the peninsula’s east coast. For hikers wanting to go off the beaten path, there are accessible tracks nearby. Staying here meant soaking in NZ’s best before heading home!

Seaside Solitude
We had a lovely stay here. Peaceful but so entertaining for the children right on the park and across the road from the beach . A really lovely family holiday and so well equipped.

Mercury Orchard - Paua Bach
Love love love everything about this home. The views, the animals, the conversations. Everything was like a fairytale. The fruit from the farm was delicious (even tried a new type of fruit I’d never had!), the tub was perfect for a nice relaxing soak after being at the beach all day. Will be coming back here when I visit NZ again. 11/10

313 Barrows
Fabulous place to stay! Great location. The house was very clean and tidy. Well equipped kitchen with every thing you need. There is a lovely outdoor area out the front and the spa was a luxury. There are three good sized bedrooms, the beds are quite firm, but fine for a short stay. Gina and George are so kind and welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay again!

Beach Escape & Spa Whangamata
Was a nice accomodation, walking distance to town and easy to find

Ocean View Beach Escape - Mountain Base location w
The place was so nice and cosy! Perfect for my partner and 2 kids ☺️ The only thing I would change is if the spa was hotter during winter 😊 other than that everything was perfect. Would defo stay again
Family- and pet-friendly home rentals

Cahukura
Comfy beds, clean house, beautiful spot. Lots of charm. Extra special place to stay!

Ponga Iti Bush Cabin
Set in a beautiful peaceful spot. Not your typical air b&b, well suited to the outdoorsy type

Newly renovated Bach for sun sea and relax
The view from this property is absolutely breathtaking, making for an unforgettable stay. The host was fantastic—warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local area. Their tips and insights really enhanced my experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for stunning scenery and excellent hospitality!

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!

The Little Shed
The Shed was cute as a button. Lots of books, games (and toys if you have kids!). It was just my partner and I plus our wee dog. Used the outside bath one night which was fun - the lights out on the deck were so pretty. Beds were comfy although I had to sleep in the top bunk as the bottom bed was a tad too small for both of us. (I like to starfish) 😂 Toilet and shower were outside of the shed (in a separate room just next to the shed). Pity it was pissing down as it wasn’t very pleasant going outside to the bathroom space during the night. However great stay, Donna was lovely and had wine and chocolate for us on arrival which was a great touch!

Whitestar Station's Palm Tree Cottage in Colville
The place was very accommodating, and Ngaire was really kind. The location was great with a beautiful view, making the stay very relaxing. Overall, it was a lovely stay!

Hot Water Beach . 1 apartment close to the beach
Warren and Sandy's are just a really short walk away from Hot Water Beach. Sandy advised us on where to park before we arrived, and Warren greeted us upon arrival, showed us around and gave us tips on what to do in the area. Our little one enjoyed seeing the eels being fed in the morning too. I personally enjoyed Warren's home brew. A great place to stay!

The Studio
Loved our stay! Wish we could’ve been here longer. Adored the animals… was so lovely being greeted by the dogs upon arrival. We hope to return again soon!
Family-friendly home rentals with a pool

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 :)

3-bedroom home with Spa + Pool close to beach
Really great stay for our little family. Clean, close to the beach and the pool and hot tub were fantastic. Really responsive when we had questions during our stay too!

Large, Private, Convenient Self-Contained Studio
Stayed for 18 nights, Fantastic place to stay short or long term. Personally my long term stay was perfect. They gave me a off street car park for my work UTE, it has its own access to the unit/room so you can come and go as you please. little kitchenet for cooking, a very big bathroom and a open plan living area. WIFI was super fast and a nice heat pump for heating or cooling. The area was definitely in more of a up market area which makes it feel very safe. It was only a 10min walk to a big Westfield mall or 2 mins by car. Would 100 percent stay again.

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

Hamilton Newstead Country B & B
Great spot. Sue and Stephen provided milk as well as tea, coffee and snacks. Much appreciated.

English Tudor House Hamilton NZ
Easy to work with the landlady as we were a very late notice booking, and very accommodating for extension if required. Highly recommended.

Modern Beach Apartment
My husband, my friend and I very much enjoyed our stay at John’s place. It was as described, situated conveniently near both the beach and town. Especially appreciated was a second bathroom. John responded promptly to a query or two and offered helpful suggestions. We would definitely recommend his place and would stay there again.

Cosy Mount Self-contained Studio Near Beach + Pool
Our stay in Jo's place was a little special because we arrived during the lockdown. After more than 5 airbnb hosts canceled or declined our reservatin because we had to do our self-isolation, Jo and her family were the only one who took us in, and for that we are incredibly greatfull. This place is really a full equipped appartment within a big house, with a beautifull garden, a park right next to the house, a beautifull beach 3 minutes walking and a big supermarket 10 minutes walking. You will be in a perfect location, have your own privacy and feel like in home.
