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

Peaceful stay right in the trees! This was such an epic Airbnb - so cozy and homey while also being very well equipped with everything you need. Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated and the spa was such a bonus. Stayed 3 nights here and wish I could have stayed longer - would definitely stay again if in the area. Mark was very kinda and quick to respond.

Thank you so much again for the beautiful stay we had! It was such a gorgeous location, and so private and peaceful. We loved all of the animals everywhere too 🖤 it was everything we could have hoped for and then some!! ☺️

Great spot for a relaxing break with stunning views. Exactly as described and cosy during the storms. Baths were a nice additional and there were lots of nice touches with the muffins and the milk. Perfect for unwinding whilst not being too far from the city. Thanks for a great stay!

This home is beautiful, just as described. Just 2 of us but booked for 3 to have the entire home & that was the best decision made. Everything was clean & tidy, host supplied all the basic essentials. The home is in a great location and the spa pool was the best! Used it every morning and night. The home had a Bluetooth speaker we connected to while using the bbq area and spa. The neighbours were great, cause we didn’t know if anyone was there or not. So peaceful and so close to the beach. The host is a great communicator! Bonus you get to park your car on site and close the gate for privacy. We loved every bit of our time here. Thank you again for letting us stay 🥰

Perfect spot for a relaxing wekend with friends. We loved how close it was to the beach and the bikes made it so easy to get around Omaha. Kate was super helpful and accommodating.

We had stayed at Linda's lovely cottage twice previously and it was great to be back again. Such a stylish comfortable cottage in a lovely peaceful location with a great outlook. Linda is an excellent host and we always feel very welcome.

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.

The main purpose for this trip was to help with our daughter's move to Auckland. From that, we were looking for somewhere convenient to her new place that we could use as a home base. Barbara's place was that, and more! True to the pictures, it's a lovely wee cottage with gorgeous views. Despite being in the city, the cottage is pleasantly private, looking into bush, with the bay beyond, and quiet. Moreover, the Coastal Track is just up -- or down -- the road, providing opportunities for bush walks, while restaurants and shops are also nearby and handy. We'd happily stay again on our next visit to Auckland -

Fantastic views and space for the price! This is perfect for all types of occasions with a group of family or friends. The host was responsive and we were given clear instructions on everything regarding to the house, check in, directions, recycling, etc! Highly recommended!

We loved the little cottage! It had everything we needed. It had lovely personal touches. Grateful we could bring Roxy our little dog! Flowers were gorgeous when we walked in and Jasmijn was such a friendly gracious host (Thank you for the lovely gift basket of goodies too) I now love Kombucha! It was also nice to have an inside / outside fire to use! Thank you Jasmijn and Matt we will matt!

The hosts of Songbird Cottage have gone to a lot of trouble to make this place special. So many lovely features, both inside the cottage and around the grounds. One of the best instructions manuals we have encountered, including lots of great recommendations for local walks, attractions and eateries. Top marks.

Alysn was great very helpful instructions for getting to the house. Such a beautiful house and location, wish we could have stayed longer.

Great airbnb for my little family to stay in. Very close to the shops, cafe and bar. We could walk to the beach, super close and convenient to the small town. It was very cosy, had all the things we needed even Netflix on a rainy day. Overall, it was A++ ! Thank you for having us

Great location, very quiet, peaceful, had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting on the front patio and watching the sun set and birds and even a couple bunnies. House was very quiet and a great size for our family of three.

Chris gave us a great welcome with a bottle of wine on arrival. She was very accommodating and let our kids feed the alpacas which was a great experience for them. Tidy house, very short drive to 2 great beaches.

Overall we had an awesome time staying at your cottage - our girls really enjoyed the pool and we appreciated the lovely community you live in - Managawhai is truly Magical in our books … Thank You!!

Just what we wanted. Close enough to everything village & beach has to offer (walking distance) but felt secluded and romantic.

Was a great location! A close and easy walk to the beach. Very clean and comfortable place. A quick drive to downtown Auckland but a nice peaceful distance from the big city. It was perfect! I would highly recommend staying here!

Perfect stay. We were a couple with a 5-year-old child. The cottage is perfectly equipped in all areas: bedding, kitchen utensils, dishes, bathroom, laundry, there are even some toys; everything is there. The environment is nice with a lovely garden. I highly recommend the cottage. Thank you

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bridget's place. What an absolute gem, exactly as shown in the photos. Extremely clean and well equipped, the bed and pillows were so comfy and the shower is amazing. Bridget replied to any enquiries within minutes. If we hadn't been travelling further north, we would have stayed longer. I would really recommend staying at Bridget's.

We had the pleasure of staying at John and Cornine's place after an unexpected event at our previous accommodation. It was during the Easter public holiday, and we were traveling with our dog, so we honestly didn’t think we’d be able to find anywhere suitable last minute. To our surprise and gratitude, John and Cornine kindly made an exception to their no-pets policy and welcomed us in, allowing our holiday to continue stress-free. Their home is sunny, peaceful, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. It’s also just a couple of minutes' drive to the beach. John and Cornine were exceptional hosts—warm, communicative, and incredibly responsive. When we experienced a sudden power blowout, they immediately came over with a torch and water box, which was such a relief. They also shared fantastic recommendations for local eateries and things to do, which really enhanced our stay. We’re so grateful for their kindness and hospitality.

We loved staying at Bridget’s cottage. It’s gorgeous. Loved the decor, the setting and the games and books. It was hard to believe we were in a city.

Simple, clean, great location. It was a great place for our family to walk to the beach, grab essentials from Woolworths, and enjoy coffee and takeaways from local restaurants. The hosts are very responsive to messages and proactively sent information. We really appreciated the simple, reasonable requests upon checkout that treated us like adults.
