Guesthouse holiday rentals in Te Ika-a-Māui / North Island

Just loved waking up to the beautiful view in quiet surroundings, and watching the birds enjoy the bird feeder. Lots of space to sit quietly. Perfect after a busy day in the city.

My wife and I had a lovely and relaxing stay at the Post Office Cottage. The cottage and surrounds is charming and peaceful to spend time in, and within easy proximity to attractions in the Taranaki area. Thanks for having us!

We absolutely loved our stay at Jenny’s place! She was incredibly welcoming and friendly, which made us feel right at home. The space was cozy, comfortable, and offered breathtaking views. There were plenty of breakfast options available, and Jenny even left us some delicious treats and fresh fruit—such a thoughtful touch. Highly recommended!

We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful and peaceful place to stay, we absolutely loved our visit and would have stayed for a week if we could! We were made to feel at home straight away with such kindness, nothing was too much trouble. 100% recommended!

We had a fantastic couple of days staying at Kathy and Bryon’s. The food that was provided was very much appreciated and the place was clean and tidy as it looked in the pictures. You are only a couple of minutes walk from the beach and the local cafe which is very good. We would happily stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was cosy and charming, had a lovely view of the bush and hills. A great little getaway.

Chris was a lovely host, the unit is compact and comfortable and has all of your basic amenities. My kids loved the spa pool, nothing better than unwinding in a hot tub after a long day of sightseeing! would definitely love to come back and stay in the future, maybe our next visit to hobbiton.

I have been in New Zealand for a little over a month now and I’ve stayed at quite a few Airbnb’s but I can honestly say that this was hands-down, my favorite one I’ve stayed in so far. Absolutely beautiful views right from the extremely private cabin. This is what I came to New Zealand for:)

Was a great stay, the place felt very homely and was such a lovely space. Also very accommodating for my little dog.

The Washhouse was a wonderful place to stay. The space was very well-equipped with everything we needed, and the thoughtful touches — like the toast, eggs, and organic jam — were much appreciated. The outdoor tub was amazing, and we had a great night’s sleep. Emma went the extra mile to keep a sweater we left behind, was it and even dry it. Absolutely grateful. Definitely worth a stopover!

Was beautiful studio perfect place to disconnect from the world and just be. Nicole was such a great host so easy to deal with. A quick easy drive to the town for dinners or breakfasts and back to the piece and quite of the beautiful studio.

Forli Cottage exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect place to get away from the city and relax. It was peaceful, private and so many thoughtful touches made us feel right at home. We are already planning our next visit! Thank you very much for having us.

This is simply a gorgeous BnB. It’s in a beautiful location, pleasantly furnished, spotlessly clean and just about perfect in every way. The king bed is super comfortable too. There are wonderful views from the large bedroom and living room windows and the whole setting exudes peace and tranquility. Jude is a kind and thoughtful host and I cannot recommend this lovely place highly enough.

Beautiful place, decor is lovely. Really comfortable place to stay. Sarah was easy to communicate with, we hope to stay again.

Sophie’s place is beautiful and peaceful, we loved the outlook and waking to birds every morning. It felt like you were in the country. The Little Shoehorn is warm & cosy with everything you need, we had a wonderful, relaxing weekend and definitely book again. Thank you Sophie.

Such a peaceful place with a great scenery. Really dark at night so I could see stars and the Milky Way. Must visit place for those searching for places for nice star photos without having to camp out in cold weather.

Peaceful and serene spot, beautiful view. Clean and tidy property, clear communication with easy to follow instructions. Description was very accurate. Would highly recommend and would book to stay here for future trips :)

We had a fantastic four night stay at Joanne's place. Even though the weather was cold, we felt very comfortable in the house. Joanne was very welcoming host who prepared the house to the highest standard. The house is located in a very peaceful part of Kerikeri but still close to the main attractions. We would highly recommend Joanne's place to others and would love to come back. Thank you for a perfect stay.

Our stay was amazing. So peaceful and rejuvenating. This place is perfectly situated to visit the surrending. The view from the house is stunning and the access to the lake is very special. I'll probably come back ✨

Perfect, luxurious, well-appointed studio in what is obviously one of the most beautiful places on earth. Very private and feels secluded but is a quick drive to Cambridge which has great cafes and even better pastries. We stayed here as a base for travel to Hobbiton, Rotorua and Taupo (a two hour drive but worth it) and highly recommend the back roads - the scenery is amazing. The studio itself has everything you need, the amenities are modern and high end and the bedding is so comfortable. We struggled to leave the comfort every morning, especially with the rain. Highly recommend staying here.

We had such a lovely stay at Therese’s place ! So many little touches which were very welcomed after a long day exploring and traveling. The snacks and cereal and having a few condiments etc. always makes it easier for a family when traveling. Really comfortable stay and beautiful surroundings, coming from Aus it’s always so amazing for us to see mountains out the window. The location was close to town and groceries etc. and we spent both days around Mt Taranaki exploring and enjoying the walks. Thanks Therese we would come back for sure !

A wonderful peaceful place to stay with gorgeous views out over the lake. Bryony and Steve were friendly, quick to respond, and made sure the place was warm for our arrival. Would recommend to all

We had a lovely stay, the host had turned the heating on for us and with the log burner it was lovely and warm. Beautiful bed linen and a well appointed kitchen. Perfect.

Fantastic place for us to stop over and break our long drive in half.
