Waterfront vacation rentals in Bay of Plenty Region

Perfect Stay with Stunning Ocean Views We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The place was well maintained, clean and very comfortable. The highlight was the stunning ocean view - it was incredible to wake up to every morning. The location was also great, just a short distance from the town centre making it easy to explore and enjoy local shops and restaurants. The hosts were friendly and responsive, ensuring everything went smoothly. We would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic getaway.

Great place to rest our heads overnight. Appreciated how clean the unit was! Very nice. Great view of the canal. Very peaceful. Would gladly recommend again.

We had a great stay at Pam’s house in Taupo. The house was the perfect setup for our family of 4 with plenty of space to holiday in comfort. The house was very modern, clean and spacious - very comfortable beds and equipped with everything you need to holiday away from home. Location was great - easy to get to and from town with just a short car trip away. From the house you can also spend time eating outside in the garden or walking down the steps to the river - great for children. Thank you for the warm welcome and having us stay. A place we will happily book again.

We had such a wonderful time! This is truly a beautiful Airbnb in a stunning location. It had everything we could possibly need and Robyn made us feel right at home. Our son enjoyed all the toys, puzzles and wanted to go kayaking as soon as his eyes opened in the morning. We will be back!

We had a lovely stay, complete with a tour of the farm and feeding the cattle and ducks - my kids thought that was amazing! Alison is fantastic with online communication, and was very patient with my excited children on the tour! Both Alison and Drew are lovely, and their property is immaculate. The house was well equiped with everything we needed, and very warm and comfortable. We would love to come back- especially in warmer weather so we can use the pool more!

We were looking for a beach property to just wind down for a few days, and we certainly found it. The photos of Robert and Maranda's place on Airbnb say it all, but once you get there, its the 'sound' of the beach that sealed it for us. We simply dropped our bags and went for a walk on the beach. Greeted the next day with an amazing sunrise, right from the door !! Great set up and layout inside. Really comfortable. It just worked for us, and as silly as it sounds, the little night light in the bathroom is brilliant ! Everything local ( shops, cafes, restaurants) is all within easy reach. Robert & Maranda's place is in a great location, with the beach side town of Whangamata a short walk behind you, and that awesome beach & bay right in front of you. Lastly, Robert, cheers for the tip for a great meal out on a Wed night !

This Airbnb was lovely and had an awesome view of the lake right out the window plus a big balcony and it felt private as we were right on the shore basically. There was a lovely garden and we could take fruit if we wanted so got some feijoas :) The kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinner and it had a washing machine as well and our clothes dried fast outside in the sun. The listing said the wifi could be variable but we found it fine in the lounge and dining area and I was able to do a Zoom class with video with no issues. We met the host Marie as well and she was very friendly! Would love to stay here again in the future.

Beautiful, spacious, and on the lake!

This holiday home was perfect for our family to come together & enjoy an immaculate, peaceful, fully equipped beautiful holiday home. The communication was excellent between the owners & ourselves always coming back with answers right away when we sent a message. I would higly recommend this home to anyone looking for an unforgettable lake get away with the perfect holiday home experience.

Absolutely beautiful place with a gorgeous view of the river. The house is one of those places that makes you feel instantly at home. Sally is an epic host, super responsive and kind.

Excellent place and perfect for our needs

Beautiful location. Great house for our two family home holiday. Stayed in April and the heating was lovely. The heated pool was a nice surprise. Plenty of private areas if you needed space. Having access to the walking track by the lake was fantastic. House is starting to need some love but still a very lovely stay.

Beautiful location. The batch was clean and tidy and had everything we needed for a fun weekend. Thanks Mel!

Easy to deal with - great communication. Would recommend staying at Jeanette’s place :)

Very homely and Gail was great and very responsive.

A great place to stay for a long weekend. Right on the beach.

Spacious apartment in a great location! Loved the views and watching the world go by from the living area. Super helpful and friendly host!

We had an amazing four night stay here. The apartment was excellently furnished, the location effectively on the lakefront was fantastic and the outlook across the lake to Mount Tarawera was beautiful. We could not have wished for more. Thank you Murray for being such a great host

Lovely stay thank you. The view was so relaxing. We will stay again.

Louise’s place was fantastic - even better than the photos! It was spotlessly clean, had a beautiful view of the lake, and included thoughtful touches like free condiments. A very comfortable and welcoming stay. Highly recommended!

Lovely peaceful apartment, with lovely views. We were visiting relative so didn’t spend too much time in the apartment as we were visiting family but it was perfectly kitted out, the kitchen had everything you would need to cook.

Lovely place to stay, great view overlooking the river would definitely stay again.
