Vacation rentals with breakfast in North Island

We had a wonderful time at the cottage, it was as beautiful as the pictures, with a great location (very close to the city/shops). Lovely scenery all around, our dogs loved watching the cows grazing every morning. Andrea was a lovely host, friendly, and very responsive :) Highly recommended!!

Kate and Callum were fantastic hosts who went well beyond their obligations to make us feel at home and welcome. They were super friendly and responded to all our needs immediately. The house was fantastic, in fact as good as any other accommodation we have had in NZ. This property comes with our highest recommendation.

We absolutely loved the late-century family home right at the beach front. It was extremely peaceful and although the beach wasn’t safe for swimming it wasn’t too far to get to Waipatiki or the Napier town beaches. The views are absolutely stunning - day and night! The home is very specious and flooded with sunlight. Highly recommend to experience it yourself 🤗

Linda & Graeme were the perfect hosts. Everything about our stay was first class, from the very nice rooms to the amazing breakfast in the morning. They included a drop-off and pick-up (late at night) in their van from the wedding venue which was 20 minutes out of town, which was much appreciated. Will definitely stay there again when we need accommodation in the area.

Briony was a very welcoming host, she left us fresh eggs, juice, bread and milk. Her partner (apologies I have forgotten his name) provided tools to tighten up the wing mirror on my bike. The property is loverly and really conveniently placed if you are planning on visiting the Hobbiton movie set.

We had an amazing time during our stay! The surroundings were absolutely stunning, making it the perfect escape. It’s truly a fantastic spot for larger groups looking to create unforgettable memories together.

We had a wonderful stay at Annabel's beautiful home in sunny Te Awanga, the whole family enjoyed time together relaxing by the pool, playing, laughing and enjoying each others company. We read through the vast collection of books on the coffee table and played cards and board games at night. The house is spacious with lots of lovely seating areas to relax. Annabel is a wonderful host, she was helpful, friendly and responded to all of our queries immediately. The house has a great layout with amazing indoor/outdoor flow, the pool was a big hit with the family. The stunning art collection on the walls will delight your eyes. The bedrooms are comfortable and dreamy to relax away summer afternoons. Herbs in the garden, lemons on the tree and fresh flowers in the house to greet us were lovely touches. The location is great with the beach just across the road and pizza under the shade of trees at Te Awanga vineyard only a hop skip and a jump from the house. Thank you Annabel, we had the just the kind of holiday we were looking for. We have all come home refreshed and rejuvenated.

Lovely home we were last minute book and they accommodated us so well

Loved our stay at Sue’s place. It is very spacious and had everything we needed. We especially loved the living area where we stayed most of the time watching movies. Sue provided breakfast food which was a pleasant surprise and we greatly appreciated that. Definitely recommended!

We had such memorable stay at Mary’s. Easy to find and so close to the lake. Beautifully decorated and so comfortable if felt like home. Mary gave us some great tips for local attractions and left us extra special treats just to make us feel welcome! Could not recommend highly enough.

I immediately felt like Neville could be my brother. Loved all the extras in our refrigerator that made our late arrival more relaxed and our first morning an easy relaxed day. Personal recommendations for the hikes we took were spot on. Taking advantage of Neville's friendly nature allowed me to watch him roast the coffee we were drinking and though I have worked as a Barista and know a lot about coffee, I learned a lot and had one of the best I have ever tasted. So nice to spread out in a clean, open, comfortable space.

Absolutely beautiful place: well designed, spotless, and comfortable, with a stunning view over Wellington harbor. The funicular access adds a bit of magic to the experience. Lovely, simple breakfast left for us. The location is perfect—a short walk from Wellington’s central business district. Loved our stay here.

My partner and I loved staying here in beautiful Tairua! We just wished we could stayed longer. Julia made us feel right at home and we loved the special touches such as breakfast and snacks. We hope to be back again!

In very Good location, next to the beach, have a beautiful view. Very clean and tidy place, have different kitchen supplies. Easy to check in. Really nice host.

We loved our little stay at The Studio. Providing GFDF items in the pantry and fridge was very thoughtful and appreciated. The space was very clean, accurately described and spacious. Helen left us to do our own thing whilst also being available if we needed any suggestions on local amenities. We loved staying here!

Excellent Airbnb. Spotlessly clean and very well appointed. Rozelle was very helpful and let us check in early - we were very grateful. Nice touches with fruit yoghurt and cereal left for us. Would recommend.

She was so accommodating. Both very, very kind people. Peaceful place and the most beautiful gardens. And she had everything you could possibly ask for breakfast! I feel like they should charge more money. The bedroom also had its own little hang out spot with its own mini fridge as well!

Definitely recommend……. well appointed and comfortable with many extras. Great location and quiet bedroom for a good nights sleep. Exceptionally clean. Owners make an impressive effort. Thank you.

Linda’s place was the perfect quiet resting place while I was in town for a friend’s wedding. The cabin had plenty of space for me, was clean, and I had a peaceful afternoon getting work done while sitting out in the porch. Would 100% book again if I were back in town. Thanks Linda!

Val was very welcoming and even picked me up from the airport and baked fresh bread for breakfast 😊 room was very cosy and clean with private bathroom. Perfect for my stay before setting off on the Heaphy and easy pickup from The Sands the next morning.

We had a fabulous stay at Ginie's quirky converted boathouse. The boathouse is right on the shores of the Lake with a small beach at the bottom of the garden. The highlight for us was paddleboarding from the house (excellent easy access) on a mirror-like lake surrounded by bird life, followed by relaxing in the spa. The accommodation was delightfully quirky and clean and Ginie had left us some delicious baked goods in the fridge. We were surprised at all the wee details... So carefully thought out. The hosts were very unintrusive, we wouldn't have known they were there other than a quick goodbye when we left. Thank you, we would love to come back!

My friend’s and I stayed at Chris’ Airbnb for the weekend, and we had such a great time! Chris and her husband were warm and welcoming – they even surprised us with freshly baked muffins and rocky road, which was such a sweet touch. The place was spotless and cozy, and we loved relaxing in the spa in the evening. The location was super convenient too, with shops just a few minutes away. We really appreciated the balance of feeling right at home while still having our privacy. Overall, we absolutely loved our stay and would 100% choose to stay here again if we’re back in the area. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at The Retro Room. Loved the little touches like the breakfast, so sweet. The room is warm, extremely clean, a lovely quiet location and easy to find. Thanks Kim for hosting us!

Such a peaceful place to stay. The surrounding countryside is beautiful - best viewed from the spa! We were very comfortable and definitely recommend to others.
