The Beachfront Cabana- 5 star Luxury on the beach

JaimeRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Unforgettable Stay at Cable Bay! My husband and I had such an incredible time at this beachfront Airbnb that we ended up extending our trip—honestly, we just didn’t want to leave so we extended our stay and extra day! The property offers stunning views of the ocean and provides direct access to the best beach in the area. Rosemary and Brian were fantastic hosts from the moment we arrived, greeting us warmly and ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Their thoughtful recommendations on local dining spots and nearby attractions really enhanced our experience. The location is perfect—there’s a fantastic fishery and a charming dairy just around the corner, so everything you could need is within easy reach. We truly had an unforgettable time and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend this hidden gem at Cable Bay!

Davinas - The Beach House

BenjaminRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This place was truly exceptional, one of the best stays we have ever had. Everything was exactly as described or even better. Check-in was smooth and simple, and the location is absolutely magical. The house is spacious, spotless, and beautifully furnished. The huge TV and incredibly comfortable sofa made relaxing in the evenings a real treat, and the kitchen is fully equipped with high quality appliances that made cooking a pleasure. The views from the property are absolutely breathtaking, and having the beach just down a few steps felt like a private paradise. Every detail has been thoughtfully arranged to make guests feel at home. We felt instantly relaxed and completely at peace here. This is a rare find, and we are so glad we discovered it. I cannot recommend this Airbnb highly enough, and we are already dreaming of coming back.

Backriver Retreat ~ spa and stars ~

CatherineRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We had a beautiful time at Kerrie and Wills house up in the far north. Great little touches like the handwritten note, continental breakfast, and large deck made this place great. The back deck is very private, you have the river view all to yourself! Only things to be aware of is that there's no door on the bedroom and the water pump is loud if you're a light sleeper like me. Otherwise stunning place, we hope to go again and see some more stars next time!

Ahipara Beach Pad

JonRating, 5 stars2 months ago

This is the ultimate beach retreat, right at the start of 90-mile beach! The view is unbelievable, the house is incredibly well-designed and maintained, and we could not have been happier with our stay. And Renèe was a fantastic host, even reaching out during our visit to ensure a big storm hadn't disrupted our visit. Excellent service!
