Holiday rentals with beach access in Te Ika-a-Māui / 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.

Its the perfect spot, great apartment, great location... close to everything and would definitely stay again next time we are in The Mount

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.

What a relaxing and peaceful few days break at this beautiful accomodation. Waking up to the sounds of the waves, sitting on the balcony and enjoying the view we couldn’t have had a more enjoyable stay. You won’t find many places like this in the world and we look forward to coming back sometime soon.

Lynne was very easy to communicate with, nothing was a bother even when we changed the dates of our booking, clear instructions, property just like the pictures, would recommend.

That view! Amazing. It was hard to tear ourselves away from the view and go over to Tiritiri Matangi for the day. What an amazing place. Loads of space, everything we needed, and so many windows to enjoy the incredible view. Couldn't fault it. Mark was amazing. Highly recommend!

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.

Absolutely loved our stay. Plenty of room, lovely home backed right on the beach. Didnt even mind that one day was horrible weather, was cosy to stay in and play with the board games. Cant wait to book again.

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!

Our second time staying here and so worth it. Amazing location with beautiful surroundings. Very private and peaceful

We really enjoy our stay here, it felt like a home away from home. This place was exactly what we were after, very peaceful and relaxing. The views were out of this world! Would definitely be back, thank you to the hosts for making us feel right at home.

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.

Absolutely magical location and views! We loved everything about our stay. The location is incredible - just up a few steps from the beach but still incredibly private; stunning views all day long; gorgeous indoor and outdoor spaces which were spotlessly clean and well organised and had everything we needed; the bed was super-comfortable; the spa was perfect; the indoor/outdoor shower was ingenious; the communication was prompt and friendly; and check-in and out couldn’t have been more simple. All in all, our experience was exceptional!

The most serene beautiful location. Felt like a million miles from anywhere but best brekkie and coffee just steps from the door and a general store a couple of minutes away with everything you could need. Bed to die for, luxury linens and towels. Possibly the cleanest place EVER. thank you gavin, a perfect stay in a beautiful location.

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

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.

This apartment was amazing & met my expectations & more The views were incredible Easy beautiful walk along the waterfront to restaurants & bars but if you choose to Uber then it was only $9 Easy self check in with lockbox We managed to get a free Carpark outside the apartment block so no problems there . Thank you Craig , hopefully we will be back soon

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.
