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

Great stay - really helpful host

We loved our stay at Eric’s. It is a perfect base for exploring Abel Tasman which we did. Sharing the kitchen worked well and we met people from all over the world. It is always lovely to chat to people who also love travelling. There was plenty of space to sit outside and the gardens were beautiful. It did look slightly different to the photos as they were obviously taken a few years ago and lots of the bushes etc have now grown quite a bit but I was still able to recognise it from the photos. Breakfast is plentiful with eggs from Barb’s chickens and lots of options of bread, pastries and cereals. The bed was massive and the shower super powerful! We would definitely recommend and will visit again if we manage to return to NZ!

We had an absolutely gorgeous stay at this property. I wish we were there for more than one night! The hosts were so friendly and we were blown away by the beautiful surroundings and comfort of our cottage. Everything was perfectly clean and we felt right at home. The views, especially from the shared pool and spa area are unbeatable. We also loved feeding the sheep who live on the property! I highly recommend booking as it was one of the highlights of our 3-weeks in New Zealand.

I normally leave 5 stars because everything is fine or as expected, but I would leave this place 6 stars if I could. It’s far and away the best AirBnB I have stayed at. The place itself is very tranquil, homey and a great spot to unwind, yet also only 5 minutes into town for restaurants. Melana was such a great host from offering a welcome drink and snack, to giving local restaurant suggestions, to providing a choice of hot breakfast in the morning. I only stayed one night, but would definitely seek her place out again the next time I’m back in the area.

Always very welcoming and great cooked breakfast. Very good to see you again.

An older hotel that's had the cabin rooms with ensuite renovated at some stage. Great value :)

Love the parking, right next to unit. Thanks for outdoors chairs. Water temp was very hard to regulate. Kitchen well equipped.

What an amazingly hand crafted house this is!! Jen greeted us so warmly and gave us a wonderful run down of the features and history of the barn. We were really inspired by Dowie and Jen’s creativity and self-sufficiency. Jen’s suggestion to check out a local private hot mineral pool was SO GOOD!! Our family loved the experience of spending time in a naturally heated pool with revitalising minerals. A truly unique experience staying here and a great location to visit Hobbiton!

I think the main highlight was the hospitality of this place. I think we actually checked in 30 minutes earlier than expected due to our bus arriving early. Once checking out the next day, since I wasn’t from Rotorua, the host let me leave my bags at reception and go for a wander to explore. The host also let me stay after my check in time to do work in the office. The only downside was the hotness of the room, they had a fan to combat this. The price was a bit steep but it was a good location.

Comfortable cozy rooms. Easy check in. Pretty location and good value off season price

Great place to stay, especially if you’re trying to find something near Spark! Staff were all lovely

Very nice place, friendly hosts and peaceful. The beds were super comfortable and my children enjoyed the space. I liked that they had SKY and the good channels too ☺️ restaurants and supermarket within walking distance! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!! Thank you!!!!

Perfect location, about a 10 minute walk from the beach and with gorgeous ocean views. The rooms were exceptionally clean, a very good size and the outside areas and the pool were excellent. The staff went out of their way to help us have the best stay. We even booked an extra night last minute because we loved it there so much. Highly recommended!

The Moon Gate Villa completely exceeded expectations. My partner and I were very well looked after. Our room was vey comfortable and cosy, with a lovely garden right outside our door. And the breakfast was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be coming back.

Was a lovely stay here - easy, clean and handy to the walkway!

Wonderful guesthouse adjoining the hosts’ main residence. Private and quiet, with a spectacular view down into the bay – photos just don’t do it justice! We opted for the delicious continental breakfast. Kitchen facilities are basic (no cooking) but were adequate for our needs. Hosts Sharon and Andrew were lovely and on hand if we needed anything. Overall a lovely stay.

Lovely character filled home with everything you could need. It was amazing!

sorry Damon I forgot to turn off light, hope u do great

Stayed with Jeanette for one night and it was delightful. Herself and her husband were a pleasure to talk to. The place was spotless, private and gorgeous and they made me feel right at home.

Super spacious, very clean and nice and quiet, comfy bed with a great spa bath definitely recommend thank you

A truly memorable stay. The spacious rooms were modern and well presented with luxurious furniture, blinds and curtains creating ambience, yet warm and comfortable. The big bed also had luxe linen and a choice of pillows. The same attention to detail was applied to the complimentary food. We were spoilt with an array of sweets and beverages on arrival. Breakfast was also a feast for the eyes, with a vaiety of flavours and generous servings. The quaint ensuite had the same luxurious linen and bathroom products. The private, large, outdoor spa (and candles) were appreciated and added to our getaway. The location was perfect, only minutes drive to a supermarket, chemist and bar. The lovely, landscaped property was private and secure. Everything we needed and the hosts were very obliging.

Overall I really enjoyed staying here. It was well worth the cost paid, central to amenities, modern. Absolutely loved the shower! Would stay again, highly recommended

This was such a beautiful, cozy, peaceful place to stay. We loved waking up to the surroundings and fresh breakfast every morning. Our doggo was also treated like a princess and had lots of space to run around and play ball then take a nap on the deck. Super convenient location that had lots of privacy, everything you need they’ve thought of! My partner loved the pool table and games room. I’m currently pregnant and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud! Can’t thank Lisa and her husband enough for having us and going above and beyond. Lots of love, thought and effort has gone into this place and it shows. Will be back ✨

This is an outstandingly beautiful place to stay. The views are amazing, the pool and the hot tube are clean and inviting, and it is incredibly peaceful. It is a wonderful place to have a barbeque on the deck and eat. The room had some nice touches, like some filter coffee, some museli as well as the usual tea and coffee sachets. The beds are amazingly comfortable, and everything is spotlessly clean. Lori is a lovely person who is very kind, and made sure that we always had what we needed. It is hard to imagine a better place than Lori's, and I totally recommend it to everyone.
