Holiday rentals with beach access in North Island

We loved every minute of our stay here in Raglan- and this ocean-view oasis was the perfect home base to relax and enjoy the scenery. The view was, of course, incredible- we watched surfers in the waves for hours. We greatly enjoyed the amenities like the hot tub and sauna, and found the location to be perfect, with just a short drive into the town with coffee shops & restaurants, and close to the beaches where we spent most of our time. We absolutely loved our stay here and hope to come back!

This is an absolutely charming apartment to stay in and we enjoyed it immensely. Lynne is the perfect host - warm and welcoming but also attentive to our needs. There was a selection of goodies when we arrived and she baked the most amazing fresh muffins for us the following morning. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated with an inspiring collection of furniture and framed photographs. There is also a bookcase with a discerning and eclectic collection of books if you’re interested in reading- which I was. The real highlight of the apartment is the view. There is wide, expansive view of Auckland’s harbour and you are not overlooked by any of the neighbouring houses. Sitting there on the super comfy couch, with a cup of tea while looking out on the water is simply bliss. Overall, this a marvellous place to stay and simply on a higher level to many other similar apartments. We highly recommend it and will certainly come back.

Had a perfect stay in this cute little spot after road tripping in a van for a week. The hot tub was an absolute treat, and the space was large for a studio, and tucked away in the jungle where it was very quiet. Exactly what we needed!

We had a lovely stay! Steph was warm, helpful, and readily available throughout our visit. The space was beautiful with stunning views and a fantastic location. While some aspects of the home are a little dated and could benefit from an update, it didn’t take away from our overall experience. Thank you for a wonderful stay ☺️

Absolutely loved our stay, fabulous view and the apartment had everything we needed. One tiny suggestion would be a couple of reading lights by the bed. We had a great time exploring the area over our 3 day stay. Thank you George and family

We absolutely loved our stay in the Pacifica room! The suite was beautifully kept, peaceful and surrounded by nature. We had everything we needed and more including the gorgeous spa overlooking the ocean. Dave was super helpful and responsive. We’d come back in a heartbeat!

5 star accommodation and location. Perfect for a stay in Paihia. Aynsley was the perfect host . We shall always seek out to stay here when visiting Paihia.

We really enjoy our stay at this lovely apartment. Great size for family of 4 (2 adults+2 kids). The seaview from the apartment is awesome. Rozelle is very friendly to communicate and she gets everything well prepared. Highly recommended. Thanks so much!

Had a really nice stay here. A beautiful location and view from the house. Really peaceful and relaxing. Nice interior homely vibe with everything you need. Would recommend.

Spent nearly 2 months right here, don’t think we can find any better place around this area. Thank you Peter, for your great help and your hospitality, all the kids have great time at here.

Absolutely loved our stay here - it's a stunning place with everything you need and amazing views! it's just a little walk down to the beach, or a 10 minute drive to driving creek railway which is well worth a visit when you're in the area. Judith was lovely and very clear with her instructions. Would definitely stay here again!

A wonderful place to stay and relax. Thank you for being dog friendly. We had an excellent stay.

Sky House was perfect – stunning views, peaceful and homely. Spotlessly clean with everything we needed. Ideal for families, close to nature walks and beautiful bays. A serene escape from the hustle and bustle. The sunsets were unforgettable. Truly a magical spot we’ll definitely be back.

Beautiful spot on the water, perfect for weekend get away. We will definitely be coming back :)

This is a great place in a lovely location. The house is cute and comfy with everything you need and beautiful views. The host is friendly & even provided us with local coffee & milk. An easy walk to the beach & to town. The town itself is super cute with lots of fun shops & yummy food to eat. Would highly recommend anyone stay here. We love it!

Beautiful home, perfectly set up with everything you might need. Very cosy, lovely furnishings, linen & little details. The fire was a treat & kept entire place warm for my elderly mum. Melanie is a great host, very helpful, thoughtful & went the extra mile to make our stay a perfect one. highly recommend.

Perfect apartment to stay at in Wellington. Everything was as per the booking description etc.

We had an amazing four night stay here. The apartment was excellently furnished, the location effectively on the lakefront was fantastic and the outlook across the lake to Mount Tarawera was beautiful. We could not have wished for more. Thank you Murray for being such a great host

great place, thank you

This is our second time here and very happy that we were lucky enough to be able to book it. This place is absolutely fabulous, decorated with impeccable taste, super comfortable, super clean and it has a beautiful garden to look at and our host was just amazing. It is by far our favourite AirBnb.

Great hosts. The Airbnb was super comfortable and peaceful. Fantastic location near walks and the beach.

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.

Short drive from the airport, Close to lots of amazing cafes, the beach, and hot pools. Fantastic views from the top of Mount Maunganui - worth the climb. Hot pools were great to soak away any aches after the climb.

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.
