Waterfront holiday rentals in Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana

This was a magnificent apartment. The pictures don’t do it justice - especially the balcony overlooking the harbor. It is well covered, so in a soft rain, you can still sit outside. The rest of the apartment was very comfortable. The instructions to get into the apartment were very clear. Michelle and Chris were lovely, helpful and communicative hosts. They responded quickly to all communications. I highly recommend this property!

Absolutely perfect place for the city if you need an overnight place. The location on fort street made this apartment a dream to get into the city and back from a night out! Very quiet residence and the room itself spectacular. I am surprised city apartments come in that size! The room was very cozy laid out beautifully with all the ammenities easily accessible. The lounge space was perfect for my friends and I to play our board games all night without cramming all in one space! The clear details and instructions made it easy to get settled and to pack up the next day. Hiral was very responsive and even made sure we didn’t have any other needs when we checked in. Thank you for having us stay was a lovely flat with a lovely host!

A lovely place! I had been experiencing some stress recently, so this was a great place to come to unwind. I thrashed it out on the nearby Mt Manaia- handy being in the area! Recommended. Plus shops etc not to far away by car. Comfy bed, clean, and just generally awesome. I should have read the place name properly/ used my common sense....couldn't go kayaking because of the tide (was low in the late afternoon and morning)- my fault for not figuring that out!! Just have to come back then 😉 Thanks guys, awesome place.

Awesome apartment in a prime location. Perfect for what I needed. Would stay again!

Well I must say in our opinion, this is the best spot in Mangawhai Heads, beautiful views from the unit of the beach in front. The unit is awesome, with everything you need. We stayed as a couple, but the unit has room for a family. Easy access to beach and short walk to surf beach and walking trails. Paul was excellent to deal with, great communication and direction Thanks again

Perfect spot for Whitianga adventure, just down the road from all the restaurants and all the cool spots. So peaceful and quiet you can sit and watch all the boats heading out and coming back... even listen to the birds arguing on the estuary...

We had an amazing stay at David and Sue’s. Everything was as described. Such a spacious yet homely feel with absolutely everything we could want. David was very approachable and helpful. Highly recommend a stay here. Would love to return

Emma was a great host place was well appointed. Great location 👌🏽

Amazing beachfront view. House was well furnished and clean. Instructions were clear, not a problem checking in. Everything you might need is provided. Awesome stay! Would recommend!

Nicole’s place is a fabulous wee spot. We loved the visits by native birds and the wonderful vista from the deck. And the peaceful atmosphere. We would happily go back.

Ally and Kiki were fantastic hosts and have a beautiful space we are lucky to have borrowed for a fantastic Easter weekend. Thank you!

We absolutely loved our stay at Patrick’s beach house - it was everything we hoped for and more. The home was immaculate, beautifully modern, and thoughtfully laid out, with a spacious open-plan living area that made it perfect for our family. Waking up to the sunrise over the water through the lounge windows felt like something out of a travel magazine. The location is unbeatable - right across from a peaceful stretch of beach that’s perfect for morning walks, kid adventures, or simply unwinding with a coffee and the view. Having multiple bathrooms was a huge bonus, and the beds were super comfortable. Patrick was an excellent host – quick to respond, clear with communication, and genuinely welcoming. Easily one of the best Airbnbs we’ve experienced - we’re already planning our return! Cheers!

nice quiet neighborhood. direct access to the water was great. nice fishing!

We had a wonderful stay! The place was spotless, well-equipped, and very comfortable — especially the bed, which gave us great sleep. The location is peaceful and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The host was friendly, responsive, and provided lots of helpful information. Everything exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this Airbnb — definitely a five-star experience! Would love to come back again.

Awesome girls trip away to the beautiful, calm, peaceful surrounds of nature halfway between Warkworth and Snells beach. Epic amenities, very clean, great spa right next to a waterfall creek. Would highly recommend to stay for a weekend or a week ! We will be back. Thank you !

A place that captured your heart and would stick in your memories for as long as you live. Everyone in my family including my elderly mom in-law loved the place so much till we were reluctant to leave. The house was very clean and furnitures were well maintained. The view from the house was just stunning! Suyun was very accommodating and responded promptly whenever I had things to enquire. Thank you so much for your hospitality and a great place to stay!

The accommodation is 11/10 with a 6 star rating for everything one needs for an escape. Modern, minimalist really private in a bustling area. We loved our stay and will return again. Thanks to Denise. Excellent comms and a few personal touches.

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

great place, thank you

We really enjoyed our stay at Irene’s. It was great to be so close to the beach and there were lots of shops and cafes within walking distance. It’s a scenic 20 minute drive to Snow Planet is that is part of your holiday plans. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay a pleasure. Irene was so friendly, helpful and caring. We would definitely stay again.

Pia’s place is incredible! Had a wonderful 10 days there. We really enjoyed the location on the beach, all the amenities in the hime and the beautiful sunrise views from the wall of windows. One of the most beautiful places I’ve stayed. Pia was amazing to work with - very responsive and attentive. Could not have asked for a better stay in New Zealand!

Repeat Customer This is just a very special place. We have stayed here multiple times. It feels like our home away from home. It’s just very unique to be in a very private building right in the middle of a fantastic beach town on what is probably the best urban beach in New Zealand. You will love it!

Jame’s place was accurately described and exactly what we were looking for. Loved that it was walkable to great restaurants. Would recommend.

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