Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Doubtless Bay

Kay's place was perfect for a couple of night's getaway. She was a very quick communicator and everything was as expected. She kindly left us freshly baked bread, as well as honey and apples from her property. The beds were very comfy and the whole place was well stocked and much more spacious than we expected. Kay's husband James sorted the pizza over for us and we cooked homemade pizzas. The property is private and secluded but just up a driveway from the road. Would highly recommend both the hosts and the property. Would happily stay again or suggest it to friends and family.

Neils place is great... beautiful views and open plan living inside made us feel like home..

Lovely spacious and modern house with a beautiful view from the lounge. House was close to town centre. Bathrooms were modern and water had good pressure. Kitchen was functional with plenty appliances and amenities. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly and will return when back in Russell.

Quite and serene place to relax and unwind. Pahia town center is about 30 minutes drive. Experienced beautiful night sky full of stars.

Very quaint property with loads of character. Easy walking distance to Russell centre. Highly recommend

This images don't do this place justice. The place was beautiful and Rachel's communication + care was just *chef's kiss*. if you are planning a trip to Paihia, this bnb is where you need to be to elevate your trip experience.

We were a group of three couples (six people total), so we booked a place with three bedrooms to comfortably accommodate everyone. Sophie’s place turned out to be a great choice — all of us were very satisfied with the stay. One thing I had overlooked before booking was that there is only one bathroom (toilet, shower, and hand washing all in one space), so we had to be mindful of taking turns to avoid overlaps. Also, there were no mirrors in the bedrooms, which made it a bit inconvenient when getting ready. It would be even better if mirrors were placed inside the wardrobes or somewhere in the rooms. Only one of the three bedrooms had an oil heater, so the couple staying in that room were a bit envious by the others. ;-) Overall, it was a very pleasant stay, and we’d be happy to come back the next time we travel to this area.

Te whare is an awesome place to stay. It has plenty of space for the entire family and also a good sized front yard for the kids to play. It is walking distance from the local takeout, cafe and shop. You could also walk to the beach from the location. The hosts were awesome and very responsive, they went out of their way to cater for us and our stay. Will definitely return again and highly recommend te whare!

We had a lovely stay – the house was perfect for our group, with plenty of space and a great layout. It’s well-equipped, beautifully located, and the views are stunning. Despite the wild weather, it was a relaxing place to unwind. We were lucky with sunshine on our last day and made the most of the lawn, trampoline, and pool. The house isn’t a show home and could use a refresh in places, but it’s comfortable, homely, and ideal for groups. Communication was easy and everything was as described. Would absolutely stay again – I bet it's even better in sunny weather!

Anika was a fantastic host and the house is close to so many cute shops and cafes.

We can’t wait to come back here. We were four couples, two young children. The house and facilities gave everyone plenty of space to relax and enjoy time together. It’s a great space with plenty to do.

The cottage has a gorgeous view - such a treat to wake up to it every morning. Really spacious and ideal for a couple. Short drive away from some amazing beaches. Thank you, Kathy!

We had a lovely stay at Joannes place, everything you would need was available. We felt right at home as soon as we walked in the door. The place was clean and tidy with so much attention to detail. The location and amenities within the property were excellent and the breakfast hamper was amazing. It's the perfect place to base yourself when exploring the far north. Would defiantly stay again. Thank you Joanne!

This was one of our favourite stays and we have stayed at some amazing places we loved this place and felt right at home has so much more than the add shows this will be our place to be every time we come back to the area, thanks to Melinda and her family for making this our favourite stay ever can’t wait to come back

We came up from Auckland for a wedding & the property was local to everything The property was great and both Rob & his wife were lovely. We barely seen them so we decided to go say hello down at their Phat House bar in haruru. We had a couple of nephews come and visit while we were up aswell . Catching up with whanau and coming back to relax there was lovely .

The stay in the beautiful apartment, situated in a unique orange orchyard, was lovely. It is a clean, well equipped, modern apartment and it is very quiet with a lot of privacy. Its is quite close to the town centre and there are a lot of beautiful walkways, waterfalls and historic sites in the surroundings. Claes and Inga are very hospitable people, giving us some fresh fruits as we arrived. We loved our stay and we can highly recommend the apartment.

Our family had a lovely and peaceful stay. Our relationship with Jane and Craig was very easy and pleasant, making us feel right at home. We especially appreciated being able to bring our dog. Thank you for providing such a wonderful and welcoming stay

Great place to stay when in Kerikeri with a short drive to the township. Relaxing and very clean and tidy. Friendly host and welcoming. Very comfortable beds. Was a lovely touch to have breakfast cereal, bread, spreads and milk on arrival for our stay.

If it were possible we'd give this place 10 stars! You won't regret staying here, at your own private slice of Taupo Bay paradise. Whether you're just a couple or with a big group of friends, Gary and Debbie's place is perfect for you. Brilliant communication from area experts. We hope to be back soon 😊

We had a wonderful stay at Mel's place. The house is really lovely - big, clean, and filled with everything you need. It was a fab base to explore the beaches of the far North and Mel had loads of helpful tips/ ideas/ reccos which made our trip such a success. It was a lovely way to welcome in 2025! Thanks Mel 🙌🏽

A modular bach with lots of separate rooms, older but has everything you need. Right across the road from the beach on a quiet street at Hihi. Easy care, extra hot in the sun, lots of comfort. Excellent communication from a great host.

Lovely little cabin, beautiful scenery and surroundings. We saw an amazing sunset and a rainbow at the same time! Awesome. My partner and I had a lovely time relaxing in nature and cooking on the gas stove. The bed was warm and comfortable. We would definitely came again!

Location is perfect, walking distance to the beach Great place and easy to find Got more than 2 pillows in each bed room Got AC.. wow…

We are family of four and a senior dog and the cottage is truly beautiful. It is warm and has everything that you need for your stay. Well equipped kitchen, washing machine and dryer. The reviews did not lie when they said, the beds are comfortable- they really are. The location is great. Beaches are nearby, small townships are a short drive (20mins) or the local fish n chip shop is less than a 5 min walk- sells a great coffee. Teresa is a great host and responsive to questions. If you are not sure if you should book the cottage- don't be. The reviews on Matauri Shearers Cottage is spot on and I absolutely recommend this place, it had everything we needed.
