Beachfront holiday rental in Island Bay

Amazing spot with beautiful setting. Lots to do and see on the property itself and nearby places to go fishing and skiing/donuting if you have your own boat. Even if wind is up there is always a place to find shelter and Tory channel remains pretty flat water. Wes was a great host and very chill! We would love to return

Thanks so much Rachael for sharing your little slice of paradise! We absolutely loved the bach and amazing location, from feeling tired and run down when we arrived we left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated! A very special and therapeutic few days - highly recommended.

This is my 2nd time staying at Emily’s, I love it. It feels like you’ve just returned home with all the homely touches. Close to the city and all the amazing cafes. It is an old building with all of the old charm.

We loved our stay, lovely kiwi bach feel. And it was so close to the beach!, just a few steps! We loved the beach view from the window, and enjoyed walking along the beach to get to the nearby cafes. Would definitely stay again, and would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing beach break.

Fabulous place, comfortable beds, excellent location, great communication, would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful character home. Beautiful views, just across the road from the beach. Listing was accurate and host was lovely and helpful.

This house was excellent for our extended family gathering – the kids loved the table tennis room, the oldies loved the view, and we all loved the direct access to the beach. Thank you, Jill, – your communications were great, the house was spotless, the beds were super and the setting made this a gathering we will all remember, even though it was for Great Grandma’s funeral.

Can’t fault a thing, great stay - thank you!

Susan is a great host, it’s been our third stay at her property and we loved it! She was very flexible in our check-in and waited for us until we arrived from the ferry before midnight! We greatly appreciated it! The place is very clean, spacious and private, too. We would like to come back and certainly can recommend her place!

Thank you, what a lovely and special family home, it made for a magical and relaxing xmas break. Beautiful deco home with bohemian vibes. A spacious garden area to play led to an ethereal private pathway to the beach which was dotted with wild flowers. Original deco elements retained in the bathrooms. Spacious rooms, comfortable beds with views. Would not hesitate to recommend. Many thanks.

Thank you Philippa, What a great place you have, we loved every minute and you are such a pleasant host. Highly recommended , fantastic location and views.

We had a comfortable stay at Rhys' apartment, it was close to the city center, very clean.

We had a wonderful weekend with family, staying at Julie’s house. There were 3 good sized bedrooms, 2 with great views. Everything was really clean and spacious, the kitchen was well equipped, and we had lots of instructions. Julie communicated well before our check in. Parking directly opposite was a bonus. For anyone with mobility issues, just be aware that there are steps up to the entrance, and living / sleeping is on 2 floors.

An absolutely gorgeous house in an idyllic spot, overlooking the Wellington Harbour. Guthrie Cottage had everything we needed, and nothing we didn't. The beds were comfortable, the central heating was amazing, and the water pressure good. The ideal location to get away from any hustle and bustle, and to be lulled to sleep by the sea on your doorstep. We had a very peaceful, relaxing stay at Guthrie Cottage - will be back!

I booked at the very last minute at 6:30pm on the night and the host responded so quickly. I am so grateful because this old house is very unique with plenty of history. Awesome views that you never get tired of. Walking distance to every where. Be aware there are a lot of stairs to get to the property and bedrooms rooms up on 2nd level so if you have old or bad legs this could be a problem. Not a problem for me at all though & I am nearly 60. Thanks for a great stay and sharing your family home with me.

great place to stay was awesome and homely thanks lisa

We loved our time here. Beautiful waterfront location, bountiful back garden, comfy beds, and generously equipped, for a family of 5 to have an enjoyable stay.

This was an amazing place to stay. The apartment is beautiful clean and exceeded my expectations in every way. The views, the comfy beds, the beautiful linen and Craig was so helpful. I will definitely go back. By far the best Place I have stayed. Thank you ☺️

Annie has one of the best spaces to share that I have ever stayed in. The completely tranquil location overlooking a stunning view made me feel so at home that I was trying not to cry when checking out! Great blend of quirky and rustic, Annie also keeps the space in top notch condition. Hearing the gulls and the waves while falling asleep, waking up to the sounds of the birds in the canopy above has been beyond amazing. Annie was the most welcoming host and gave us wonderful local knowledge and loved letting us go off and adventure around Wellington. 11/10 will stay again when I come back.

Great space great views Central and comfortable.
