Cottage vacation rentals in Auckland

Great family stay for three generations. Local beaches are close by and all amenities you could need are not far by car. Shops for essentials are within easy walking distance. Something to do in all weathers

What an exquisite and inspiring view of Bethells Beach! The view from the deck was amazing. The cottage was very quiet and peaceful. John was an excellent host. We enjoyed walking the beach and hiking to Lake Waimanu past the huge dunes.

We had an amazing stay at this lovely home! The views are absolutely spectacular, and soaking in the hot tub while overlooking the lush surroundings was truly magical. The house is well-equipped with everything you need, and the kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms were all clean and thoughtfully set up. The location is wonderfully private, yet conveniently close to a stunning spa resort where you can enjoy delicious meals or indulge in a spa treatment with equally fabulous views. Just a heads-up: there are no shops nearby, so be sure to stock up on food and drinks before you arrive. Overall, this was a perfect getaway, and we would definitely stay here again!

Lovely place for our small bridal party. Sarah was awesome to deal with. Very tidy and peaceful place.

Excellent accomodation. Spacious and spot clean. Very well located with bus stops nearby. Friendly hosts. Highly recommended .

Here's your revised review with the addition of fresh milk and the amazing blueberry muffins: --- I had the most incredible stay at this beautiful farm with an ocean view. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the peaceful surroundings and the stunning panoramic views of both the lush green farm and the sparkling ocean. The location was absolutely perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and relax in nature. The property itself was well-maintained and cozy, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, going above and beyond by leaving us fresh milk and the most amazing homemade blueberry muffins. It was such a thoughtful touch, and every morning, we had the perfect treat to enjoy while taking in the breathtaking view. We enjoyed a cup of coffee on the porch, watching the ocean and the farm animals in the distance. It was such a serene experience. The farm itself was charming, with lots of space

Very nice tiny house. Central with Saturday market 2min walking distance. 5min driving from Palm Beach and Onetangi. Clean and parking spot. Very few and simple equipement for cooking.

It was exactly as it was described. A rural setting in a very quiet area. Everything was very clean and tidy and the beds very comfortable. Outside there is a lovely jacuzzi and a BBQ perfect for a summers evening. My family live close by so would definitely like to visit again.

Amazing view of the vineyard, taking you across the hills and out to the sea. The location was close to Palm beach, a 20min walk. The cottage was cosy with a rustic look. It had everything you needed.

This place was amazing from the time I arrived to the time that I left I couldn’t recommend this place more particularly for couples To the outdoor bath that retained heat for hours to the outdoor fireplace place and picking out all of the satellites flying through the sky

Cliff Top Cottage was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. It is situated within walking distance of Blockhouse Bay in a very quiet street but also near enough to shops and bus routes. The decking area outside was lovely to sit and relax. Barbara was a very generous and outstanding host supplying tea, coffee etc, milk, biscuits and chocolates on our arrival. Barbara and Phil were very friendly and approachable and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. We would love to come back one day.

Good house on stunning / sheltered small Auckland beach - large living room; well set-up kitchen; two very pretty front bedrooms and a third smaller/quieter; two good bathrooms; great verandah with chairs/table. House is down a good but tall path from a quiet street and literally a few metres from the beach, which is sheltered/shallow (and quite popular on warm days at high tide but otherwise quiet). 5-15 minutes drive to Kohimarama / St Heliers.

An amazing place to relax and unwind! The views were absolutely stunning, making it the perfect spot to escape and enjoy some peaceful time. The projector gave us a true cinema-like experience, which made our stay even more special. And the spa-pool so relaxing! It was the perfect way to end the day. The driveway was a little steep, so make sure your car brakes are in good condition. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a cozy and enjoyable getaway.

This has to be our best Airbnb experience yet and we’ve had some good ones. The cottage is everything we’d hoped for and more, beautifully presented and well equipped. A pleasure to stay in. Our hosts were just as lovely too!

We stayed at this property recently and found the space itself to be beautiful, well-maintained, and very comfortable. The location was great, and the property had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Unfortunately, there was a misunderstanding regarding a late check-out request, which was initially agreed upon but later couldn’t be accommodated due to other bookings. While this caused some inconvenience, the host acknowledged the mistake and worked with us to provide a resolution, including a partial refund. Overall, we loved the property and would recommend it for future stays, but we suggest confirming any special arrangements with the host in advance to avoid potential misunderstandings.

Excellent location so close to shops beach restaurants. Lovely home with lots of amenities was so lovely to have use of the spa overlooking beautiful views. Thanks so much for our stay Brad would definitely recommend your lovely home for future stays 🤗

Great place to stay , Great views can walk to beach . Nice eatery by beach . Bus Stop close by can catch going to all places very handy n cheap way to go around . Taxis are super expensive. Loved the spa in the room . Clean bed linen’s and bathroom was very clean too . Allowed late 1 hour checkout which was very helpful more time on island to relax and not rush in morning to leave the place . Chilliux the host was responsive when I texted for 1/2 hour extra but he allowed another 1/2 hour . So thank you . Definitely booking same place again

Beautiful cottage, great peaceful surroundings with all the comforts of home. Wonderful location surrounded by fabulous forestry. Gorgeous cottage & a short drive to Oratia village. Was extremely lucky to find such wonderful accomodation to be near family less than 5 minutes away. Highly recommend to be close to Piha & the west coast beaches. Kelly is wonderful to deal with and the cottage a real asset in a great setting. Will definitely book again, thank you Kelly.

Excellent accommodation in a quiet neighbourhood. The Cottage is extremely well equipped with everything that you need . Debra left breakfast supplies and small treats and was always quick to respond to any message . We really enjoyed our stay and wished we could have stayed longer.

As architecture buffs, it was a treat to stay in this carefully renovated Craftsman bungalow. This is a small house with a big personality and we loved it. Looking out over the large Auckland Domain Park is like having your own country view in the midst of a vibrant, bustling city neighbourhood. Elliott has thought of everything to make his guests’ stay as comfortable and homey as possible. The place is spotless and the beds remarkably comfortable. And Elliott is so helpful and easy to reach. He knows his city well so his suggestions of things to do and places to eat are spot on. Stay here, you’ll love it😊

This little place was a coastal gem and perfect for our stay. Gay was easy to communicate with and the cottage was cute and wonderfully curated. In fact we wished we had booked another couple of nights to completely chill out. It was extremely peaceful and a delight sitting on the verandah watching the sunrise. We would love to go back !

Lovely place, great view off of private deck. We would stay here again!

Loved staying at Stuart’s place. Worked very well for our family weekend away with three kids. Short drive away from beautiful beach with lovely surf. Great host!

Lovely typical Waiheke house with character. We enjoyed the terrace and garden with native birds wandering though. Extremely peaceful surrounds. 10/15 minute walk to Onetangi beach cutting through a reserve and going down some stairs. Highly recommend the 372 restaurant, great food and wine.
