Waterfront vacation rentals in Te Ika-a-Māui / North Island

Great location, just a few minutes walk from many harbourfront restaurants, cafés and bars and great to have the sunrooms overlooking the water Kim was brilliant, helpful and fast to communicate and we had a great stay The included Gym and Pool are 30 seconds walk from the apartment and that was a bonus Thanks, Kim

This apartment was absolutely brilliant! We only meant to stay a few night but ended up staying more! Kelly was very helpful, and the apartment was perfectly placed in Russell. It had all of the amenities that we needed. We loved it! Thanks Kelly.

I thoroughly enjoyed another great stay at Dayne & Trevor’s beautiful place, they are excellent hosts and very responsive. The apartment has everything you could want for, beautiful view, comfortable bed, spotlessly clean and a great location. Look forward to staying again in the future.

Great location, close to everything including some fantastic restaurants, a woolies and cafe basically at your door, and easy connection to the city centre. The fish and chips shop is fantastic. The property had everything we needed for a fantastic city holiday.

Had a great stay at Simon's place. Incredible area, very walkable and close to transit. Instructions were very clear to get in and use the carpark. Great spot to kick off our New Zealand adventure.

Other than a little trouble finding and getting into the parking garage, we had a fantastic stay. The location cannot be beat. Easy to explore and enjoy Auckland. Very walkable. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay again.

We had a fantastic stay at Gile's place in Wellington. Everything was perfectly clean and well provisioned. The location is super, walkable to all shopping, restaurants, and attractions. Gile is very responsive and a true gem of a host. Do not hesitate to book this place, it is an Airbnb 5+ stay!

Centrally situated, Giles's apartment had a lovely outlook over the Wellington Harbour. The apartment was well laid out, well equipped, and very comfortable. Wellington CBD was really accessible and wwith the exception of our trip to and from the airport, we were able to walk to restaurants and attractions easily. We had a great stay and would certainly stay at the apartment again.

Fabulous, as always. Thanks for our "home away from home".

What a fantastic place! We had the Easter long weekend here and had a lovely time. Place was perfect with great views of the lake, well kitted out and clean. The owners were extremely communicative. Would book here in a flash!

This bach was such a wonderful place to stay. Even better than the photos show! The outdoor areas are lovely and we felt right at home as soon as we arrived. Highly recommend.

We chose Liz's place in Waimarama for a family mini holiday and had an amazing stay! Liz is a great host, communicated in advance, checked in with us when we arrived to make sure everything is ok and left us a bottle of the local wine :) The location is fantastic, right by the beach with amazing views to the water and island across. The house was clean, very well equipped, super comfy, warm and had everything one may need. There was lots of space for all 6 of us and our two dogs and it just felt like home away from home. We have been to Waimarama before but this was definitely our favourite time and we can't wait to come back!

The location of this home is incredible! Beautiful sunsets, close to penguins and a number of stunning beaches and hikes. Check out the baby fur seals, caves, natural spring, waterfalls and abundant bird life. Piwakawakas at every hike! Garry was very accommodating and responsive. Rent with confidence!

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.

One of the best beachside places in the world that I have ever stayed at - and I’m nearly 54 - so I’ve stayed at a few!!

Such a beautiful property and location right on the water, great for our group with plenty of space and outdoor area for young children. Very peaceful and relaxing plus an easy walk into town.

Unique location above the marina. It was great to spend time on the deck watching the comings and goings of all the boats. The place was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. The Marina Cafe across the carpark had great meals that we ate there two nights in a row. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

Fabulous hosts, lovely accommodation. We stayed for three nights, and all loved it including our puppy. If we didn't have to be back home for things, we would've extended our stay by a couple more nights. I'm sure we will be back again though. Thanks for the lovely stay

The location of the air bnb is right next to the harbor area and many things are within walking distance. This was a great location, clean and the host was so easy to work with. I would rent this unit again and I highly recommend it to others.

Had an awesome time and stay. Extremely close to the town and walking distance to great restaurants and shops. Irene and Neil were great hosts and very friendly.

Denise was welcoming and a good communicator before and during our stay. The weather was against us but we enjoyed the comfortable, well positioned apartment.

We had an amazing time at Jo’s place. We received very clear instructions, the place was so beautiful with an amazing view. Perfect time to relax. We will definitely be back.

Really enjoyed our stay at Cooks Beach. Easy walk to restaurant and beach very peaceful and friendly. Would come again.

Really enjoyed my stay. Lovely apartment overlooking the water. Despite the weather being foul, the apartment was warm and cosy and so easy to relax in. I was working all day away from the apartment but so good to come back each night and relax. Bed very comfortable and no ‘neighbour noise’ of any sort. Great responsive host who was easy to communicate with. Would throughly recommend 11/10!
