Beachfront holiday rental in New Zealand

Beautiful location and sea views with access through 2 gates taking you to the rocky bay. Huge fully fenced yard great for our dog Judge and our 3 year old son. The chest of games and toys went down a treat for both and the 3 bdrm house had everything we could need for a weekend get away. The house was also lovely and warm AND we could see the mountain from the entrance way. Would definitely come back again. Thanks for having us, great hosts!

The property was amazing. It was cozy and had everything we needed. The spa overlooking the sea was fabulous, as was the room outside where we could sit and chill and watch the sea, but be warm and cozy. We walked into town for dinner. Wandered along the beach. The interior design was really cool. My husband especially lived the robots on the ceiling. We also enjoyed Hokitika, cafes were great. We went to the National Kiwi Centre which was AMAZING! And also did the zipline at the West Coast Treetop Hikoi and Tower Zipline. Thanks we had a great time. Highly recommend staying here.

What an Amazing place, was only there for a nights sleep but boy was it cosy and had more than expected essentials. Place was easy to find and there is such a beautiful view of the harbour with all the sail boats Had quick response from the host as well Would go there again for a longer visit.

Lovely place, right on the beach. Perfect location and very helpful host.

What a beautiful space. If you a looking for a fantastic holiday home for a couple or small family this is the place to be. Right across the road from the beach. So tidy and warm very clean. Mark was amazing! We enjoyed our stay and will be back for sure!!! Thanks for making our trip to Ohope special.

I stayed at Whakatīwai for three nights while I was working in the area. Roimata and Hunter were absolutely wonderful hosts: friendly and helpful. I couldn't have asked for better location. The views from the Airbnb were stunning, and it was so lovely to go for morning and evening walks. Spotlessly clean. The wi fi was good, too. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Fantastic stay in beautiful surroundings. The house is really relaxing with plenty of space for everyone. Great dining options inside or outside to enjoy the weather and views. Being able to see the stars from bed was magical. Would thoroughly recommend. To top everything off we saw dolphins from the beach on our last morning.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful Airbnb right on the water’s edge. The location was absolutely stunning – peaceful, scenic, and so close to nature. Our host was super friendly and full of helpful local tips. We especially loved the walk to the nearby surf beach and grabbing a morning coffee at the local campground. A perfect spot to relax and explore!

Mark’s AirBnB is an experience rather than a stay. Is a combination of coastal rural Nz right on the doorstep (short boat ride away) from a bustling town Raglan where there are 5 star restaurants, super markets and everything you would need or expect. And the accomodation itself is nestled on a cliff top with 180 views of the harbour and if Raglan. Private, the feeling of seclusion and neighbour free - the best of both worlds made better by a host that balances your needs with respectful distance. Make a pizza in the wood fired oven and then warm your bones in the spa boat and arching the harbour u til the sun melts away listening to birds evening song. We can’t wait to head back and hopefully catch the big uncle of the 12 lb snapper we caught in the raglan harbour!!! Outstanding place.

Thank you Liz and Dennis. My family and I loved our stay, it was absolutely perfect.We will definitely be back.

We had an awesome time at the Beachside Bliss. Everything was just WOW. Ian made us feel right at home. The layout of the place is so kids friendly and safe. Loved the peace and quiet and a very clean beach. We are sure to come back soon. 101% recommended! Thank you Ian for sharing your lovely home and space with us🙏

Amazing place, highly recommended

This was the most lovely accommodation! It was clean, well-appointed, and had the most beautiful view of the Bay. Wendy communicated well, and provided easy instructions for entry into the car park, and from there, into the apartment. Our two night stay was extremely quiet, which we expected, given it's not the high season, yet there was still enough going on about town that we never wanted for something to do! The location was absolutely ideal, as all businesses were within very easy, close-in walking distance. Our only wish is that we could have stayed longer, and we'll definitely look to return!

We loved everything about this property and couldn’t fault anything at all. The location, the cleanliness and amenities, everything was perfect. We would definitely be back!

We booked the apartment because of the epic view of the beach and it surely didn’t disappoint. We did wish the windows were cleaner so we could enjoy the view from inside the house too but understandably this was inevitable. We didn’t like that you have to pick up and drop off the key from another location during check in and check out, which is 10 mins drive from the apartment itself so if you don’t have a car then you might wanna look elsewhere. Tv remote wasn’t working and we couldn’t watch anything we want on the Tv without it. There was a super strict list of rules and a deposit needs paying via an app( which we weren’t told clearly about upon booking) . I still Don’t know if deposit has been returned or not, a confirmation of this would have been nice! Overall though we think it’s a great apartment- it is really roomy, beds are comfortable, great shower, and kitchen is very well equipped. :) many thanks for hosting us !

This was such an incredible retreat spot! Very secluded, with one of the most breathtaking views of Te Ngaere Bay! Our favorite part was the open-air option to enjoy cooking & dining inside while being outside. Very clean, modern & incredible espresso machine to enjoy cappuccinos with the epic sunrise! We also found it nice to have your own trail down to the beach & private plunge pool. Be prepared for a climb back up for some good exercise! Worth it… especially when you can take a nice cold (or hot) outdoor shower! Great communication & care from Kas & Rhys- they are awesome hosts!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, Elmari accommodated our ever-changing arrival time, and was very welcoming, the room was warm and presented beautifully. The view is absolutely stunning, felt so peaceful to be here, and although joined to the house it felt private. Highly recommend!

Lauren and Sam This was a very lovely place right next to the lake. Can see the lake from the bed and there is heaps of ducks. Lauren and Sam were kind and responsive while also making sure your experience was private.

A few photographers stayed for a few nights. We had an amazing time enjoying this quiet and beautiful beach location. Highly recommended for a break from the big smoke. Thank you

A new modern one bedroom house in a spectacular location overlooking Hahei. Very comfortable.

This is undoubtably one of the best Air BNB places we have stayed. We felt at home and spent many an hour sitting at the window with the fire crackling - nice glass of red in hand of course. not much more to say except WOW. Thank you to Angela and her family for sharing their place with us

A stunning spot with so many little gems to visit close by. Loved meeting ‘M&M’ and of course gorgeous Buddy. You are beautiful warm and welcoming hosts with a very special little slice of paradise. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Zane's place is amazing! Phenomenal views of Akaroa and the bays. Home is gorgeous and well equipped. If you are visiting Akaroa, we highly recommend a stay here!

We really enjoyed our stay at Justine’s. the views were amazing, very quiet and peaceful. The place smelt amazing all weekend, very clean and had great amenities. We loved the personalised touches - welcome message on arrival and chocolates on the bed. The spa was very clean which we appreciated! Justine’s very friendly and left clear instructions and also good recommendations for Raglan Town. Will rebook, thanks again Justine 😊
