Vacation home in Waimangu
4.73 out of 5 average rating, 92 reviewsIdeal Family or group accommodation
We had an excellent stay with no issues. Debbie and Peter were great hosts - we were out at the motor racing during the day and we came back to a laid fire ready to go. Very easy communication and such a hassle free place to stay for a large group. Ideal for a large group of people if you want to just stay a bit out of the main Rotorua and Taupo destinations - close enough to go for dinner, relaxing and quiet otherwise. Would definitely look at staying again for future events in Taupo and Rotorua.

Awesome Kiwi Bach as described - heaps of outdoor space for the kids to rip in. Hosts were really accommodating around check-in / easy to communicate with. The 12pm check out made moving out a lot less hectic too - a real bonus. Thanks for having us.

Amanda's apartment is very spacious and relaxing the living room furnitue and beds are all very comfortable and the linen provided was of high quality.

Vacation home in Raetihi
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 17 reviewsRaetihi Heights Lodge
Great place to use if you are a business working in the area and you need to accommodate a team of workers. The property had all that was needed for our staff to feel at home and cater for themselves. Really good option for a larger team. Ebony was a great communicator as a host and gave great instructions that were easy to follow. Highly recommend this property.

Vacation home in Coopers Beach
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 60 reviews"By the Sea"
The apartment was brilliant, the location one street up from the beach so good. the unit had everything, coffee machines, hot plate , huge microwave convection oven and all the usual suspects. loads of parking on the grass verge, and beautiful view. Linen was good, a million pillows and blankets and even beach towels. games etc Our only tiny gripes were it looked at little bigger in the photos, with beds etc suitable for six except it didn't have dining or lounge seating for 6. We borrowed a chair from family nearby and worked it out but it was quite small, and there was only three staying and the dogs. So just a note if you are six people, it is quite small space. Dog friendly but it would have been nice to have a small out door area fenced so we could have let the girls (doggos) out to pee on their own, but this wasn't a problem really except for the dog with the shy bladder... hahah so thank you so much Linda and Judy for a friendly and great getaway to the far north.

We stayed at Brents place while visiting Napier for three nights. Our stay exceeded expectations. The view was to die for, the place was spacious and comfortable, as well as completely private. Great amenities and lovely small touches from the hosts (coffee, washing liquid etc.). The jacuzzi was absolutely lovely in the cooler evenings which was waiting for us all hot on arrival 😀. Highly recommend this home and hosts, would definitely be top on list when in Napier again!

This spot had an amazing view and spacious layout for our family. We had a great stay, though we experienced some loud beeping from the septic system throughout the night for our last two nights. The bedrooms on the middle floor could also use some fans during the summer months.
