We had a wonderful stay at this place! From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, simple yet elegant kinda vibe and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, with easy access to the lake and a perfect place to witness the golden hour. Host was incredibly responsive and kind. Truly appreciated the calm and peaceful atmosphere here. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing experience. Thank you Trent for a fantastic stay!

Wow! Great location, beautiful home and views. Easy drive to some good surf spots and easy 20 min walk or few minute drive into town. This place was the perfect location and the deck is absolutely unreal. Lisette gave great local recommendations as well that did not disappoint. Hoping to come back someday to this beautiful spot!

Home in Te Akau
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 103 reviewsLimitless Peaceful Water Views-Authentic Retreat
Mark’s AirBnB is an experience rather than a stay. Is a combination of coastal rural Nz right on the doorstep (short boat ride away) from a bustling town Raglan where there are 5 star restaurants, super markets and everything you would need or expect. And the accomodation itself is nestled on a cliff top with 180 views of the harbour and if Raglan. Private, the feeling of seclusion and neighbour free - the best of both worlds made better by a host that balances your needs with respectful distance. Make a pizza in the wood fired oven and then warm your bones in the spa boat and arching the harbour u til the sun melts away listening to birds evening song. We can’t wait to head back and hopefully catch the big uncle of the 12 lb snapper we caught in the raglan harbour!!! Outstanding place.

Lovely property with the most amazing view! Really! House was very clean, comfortable and beds were great. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property! Thank you!

Home in Ōhope
5 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviewsSeacrest
We had a wonderful stay at Seacrest! The house is immaculate, decorated in a calm coastal style, and has lots of space to lounge around and relax - open plan living/dining, a separate TV room, and a large deck that is partially covered. Perfect backyard for a game of cricket or to kick a ball around. Short walk to both the beach and the harbour. The local cafe is probably a 15min walk away which also has fish and chips on offer. The Four Square is a 5min drive away to restock supplies or the large supermarkets in Whakatane are a 15min drive.

Home in Point Wells
5 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviewsWaterfront - “Paradise in Point Wells”
Tranquility! A wonderful, peaceful place, still close to everything you need. Omaha Beach is a great location to visit, very laid back and easy going. I went there with my son and we found lots of things to do in the proximity (Sheepworld, Ninja Action, Reptile Park, Snorkling at Goat Island, etc). We loved it! And Grace's place was just amazing!

Just the view of the sounds that you could hope for! Peaceful in the morning and lovely to sit down at the boat house at sunset. Margaret was very thoughtful and the house was a place to rest and relax in. The view is stunning!

Cottage in Te Tii
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 207 reviewsTHE PAD: Chic, Romantic and absolute beachfront
We felt highly welcome. Vanessa answered a question within minutes and helped out. She asked us if we need anything from the supermarket ( is 45 min. away). Well equipped apartment. Silence. Beach nearly just for us. Perfect. 😀

Cottage in Whangarei Heads
4.84 out of 5 average rating, 308 reviewsWaterfront Quintessential kiwi bach
We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful slice of heaven. It is very private and peaceful with all the kiwi bach essentials needed to enjoy a beach side getaway. The hosts Jane and Ian were extremely accommodating and responsive to our requests and communication. Jane organized local Balinese massage to come to the accommodation for couples massage, all I had to do was text and ask and they took care of it all. The area is so peaceful and special, the water comes right up to the house in high tide so you just need to walk off the deck to go for a swim. Jane and Ian had great recommendations for local fishing spots and there are lots of hikes and beaches within 10mins of where you are. We were able to completely unwind from the stress of normal life and can't wait to plan our next trip back.

Cottage in Rotorua
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 292 reviewsRotorua Lakefront Cottage
From the very start of the book, it couldn't have been any easier from the start Rob was super helpful. The cottage had everything you would ever need and more. The location was perfect, and saving the best until last, the view could only be described as a picture postcard, absolutely stunning, we will 100% be booking this again,

Cottage in Okere Falls
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 409 reviewsThe Love Shack Lake Rotoiti. Absolute Lake Edge.
We absolutely loved staying at The Love Shack, especially sitting down by the waterfront with a cool drink. The house has everything you need and is very comfortable. If you like peace & quiet this is definitely the place for you. The cafe at the general store was great also.

This was our second time staying at Jo’s place and we enjoyed it every bit as much as the first time. Very stylish and very comfortable, all in a beautiful setting. Jo left us some veg from the garden as well as some milk for the morning which was greatly appreciated. We would love to go back again.

Cottage in Karikari Peninsula
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 148 reviewsThe Pohutukawa Cabin Karikari Lodge.
Paul and Katalina were super friendly and helpful from the beginning to the end. The accommodation is totally lovingly furnished and has an atmosphere in which you immediately feel comfortable. From the amenities, everything we needed was there. We even enjoyed trying super tasty muffins from Katalina. When our tire had a plate, they were also able to help us immediately with a friend who flicked us the tire. The area in Karikari is also fantastically beautiful. Especially Karikaribeach. I can highly recommend the place from Paul and Katalina. Just the view in the morning from the window to the sea....so beautiful and also quiet to sleep there. We wish the two of you all the best. Paul and Katalina are full of heart. Thank you for everything!!

Gillian and Mel have a beautiful spot, we stayed here for a wedding at Kauri Bay Boomrock and it was a perfect location 10 mins to the venue and 2 mins from beautiful beaches and walks. Their place had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Gillian and Mel are warm and welcoming people and made it an overall great experience.

Cabin in Kaeo
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 71 reviewsMagic Cottage - Romantic Chic Waterfront Seclusion
Anna and Ian are fabulous hosts. They take the time to personally chat with their guests and provide great tips for local excursions. The Magic Cottage is set on a vast property, with other holiday cottages spread out, ensuring everyone has their privacy and can enjoy the beautiful nature almost entirely alone. The Magic Cottage is well-equipped and even offers multiple large bath towels per guest, as well as bathrobes. There are canoes and kayaks available, which you can take and paddle straight from your own terrace to the sea. Overall, it’s a truly wonderful place!

Cabin in Russell
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 161 reviewsTyson's Unique & Charming Waterfront Bach
John’s place was the perfect haven for us. It was an ideal place to work remotely and enjoy the quintessential kiwi summer! We stayed for a week and were utterly surprised by how well equipped the bach was (from all the cooking essentials to extra lounging chairs). John was a superb host who has thoughtfully curated an information guide and was very responsive. We already can’t wait to be back!

Cabin in Waikite Valley
4.75 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviewsFantail Cabin on Lake Ohakuri, Waikite Valley
looking for peace & to switch off from the pressures of city life for a night or two then this is the place for you, Fantastic scenery, private & the option of 3 different rooms. you can hire all 3 and it would be an awesome get away for family or a group of friends. One of the rooms has its own bathroom and the other two shared facilities which were only a couple of meters away in the stockyard shed.All clean safe and great hot shower too! We had the best sleep ever! It is off the grid but the solar power was more than enough for basic power, lighting,charging devices etc.Cell phone reception is patchy but a few steps up to the barn and you well connected to the world again. (also being semi disconnected added to the charm of the place.) Bring all your own food & drinks + maybe a board game or 2 and really just enjoy the awesome spot without having to venture into town &relax. bonus is the use of a private boat ramp, we had our 2 jetskis and had an amazing time exporting the lake
