Villa in Opua

Gorgeous views Sails Villa in the Winterless North

BarbRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Katrina’s place was situated in a very private setting. Beautifully landscaped. Check in was a breeze. Perfect set up for a family of four (or 5) given the bedrooms were on two different levels and each bedroom was equipped with a full bathroom. The place has a stunning view of the water from the living room, patio, and both bedrooms. The car ferry to Russell is only a 5 minute drive. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thank you for hosting us :)

Retreat Bay of Islands - Bungalow West

GeoffRating, 5 stars88 months ago

One of the things that’s hard about finding a place in a new place is the sense of relative distances. We were further outside of town than we had expected, but man was it worth it. The views down to the bay were spectacular. And being from the northern hemisphere, the night sky is of particular interest. We were lucky with high pressure, so being just far enough outside of town gave us breathtaking star gazing. Jo was so helpful in making suggestions for places to see, quickly able to help us prioritize based on the way we roll, a good mix of walking and driving, a wonderful resource and real hospitality pro. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Platinum Lodge Sleeps 8 - Whale Bay 10 mins walk

AlisonRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Well equipped kitchen, big spacious house, great for our group of 5. At least a 10min flat walk to the beach, however a beach cart was needed if taking a beach cabana and chilli bins etc. We opted for a short drive to the beach when we were going for a few hours. Nice walk up the hill through bush to get to Whale Bay which was beautiful.

Rustic Bush Retreat

AlianaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

This was our second time returning to this magnificent accomodation. Once again I emphasise how important it is for you to not think twice about booking this Airbnb. This place has the stand-out magic that makes any ordinary rentable house into a holiday home for making precious memories. Its simply awe-inspiring upon first entry. The positive attributes of this accomodation from its views, scenery, amenities and hosts are far too many to list. This home exceeds beyond expectation. Thank you once again.

Oceanfront Penthouse Apartment Bay of Islands NZ

SusanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This was the most lovely accommodation! It was clean, well-appointed, and had the most beautiful view of the Bay. Wendy communicated well, and provided easy instructions for entry into the car park, and from there, into the apartment. Our two night stay was extremely quiet, which we expected, given it's not the high season, yet there was still enough going on about town that we never wanted for something to do! The location was absolutely ideal, as all businesses were within very easy, close-in walking distance. Our only wish is that we could have stayed longer, and we'll definitely look to return!
