What a relaxing beachfront getaway. Completely worth it. The sound of the waves at night was so relaxing. Walkable to a couple restaurants and shops. Fantastic location, lovely host.

Absolute Beachfront Apartment
Fantastic location, couldn’t be closer to the beach than this. Stunning sunrises, beautiful beach great for swimming. Quiet setting, walk easily to dairy and takeaways, short drive to larger shopping centre. The house has comfy beds and all the kitchen equipment you might need. Plenty of space throughout. Responsive helpful host and outstanding value for money. This place is on our favourites list, thanks Caroline!

The house was beautiful and the views out back were stunning! Sean was very communicative and willing to assist if we needed anything! Hoping to plan a trip to come back again!

Sea-side 2bed house near the City
We spent 11 nights at Nicola's cottage in Te Puna which is exactly as described. The cottage was perfect for us as we were spending time with family at Omokoroa, but overall the location on the inlet is fabulous. The area feels very safe and it's great for walking and close to cycle trails. There are great food options close by - Clarke Rd Kitchen, Te Puna Deli and the White House are faves + Alma Eatery at Omokoroa beach for wonderful Italian / pasta. We had a couple of minor issues and Nicola was very prompt at responding to these. We also appreciated the little treats :) Highly recommend this place and look forward to staying again.

Private 2 bdrm home near bay & scenic attractions
WOW, Julie the host was incredible :):). From the get-go she was super responsive, friendly and so patient while we worked through the details of our long stay. She went the extra mile with regular check-ins, cleaner arranged and was very supportive to our colleagues needs. Would highly recommend Julie. Oh! and the property is exactly as described, neat and tidy and homely.

Relaxing beach-front living.

Amazing place, highly recommended

Harbour Drive Hide Out
Just when we thought Airbnb hosts couldn’t get any better, we spent our King’s weekend at the Harbour Drive Hide Out. Paul & Fiona are the best yet! They made their home so welcoming to us from the moment we stepped in the door, it was unforgettable. They even prepared treats and a doggie bed for our paw-baby! Thank you so much!!! We will be back next year so please have your massage chair ready!! 🥹🥰

Southdown on Anchorage
We had a great stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Erika was a friendly and responsive host, and everything was well-prepared for my arrival. The location was peaceful and relaxing – perfect for a getaway. Would definitely recommend and happily stay again. Thanks again, Erika!
