Holiday rentals with a kayak in Waikato River

That's exactly as what we are looking for! Big enough for every of us, open view face to the golf course that we are going to play next morning, too short to enjoy our stays as we've been busy to finish our golf trip in only 2 days inTaupo (Kinloch). Looking forward to book here again when I have a chance in the future :)

The house and property was extremely clean and well presented. All amenities that were listed were available and the house was very warm. The communication from the hosts was fantastic - very efficient to reply to any questions or communications that I sent, as well as clear instructions for arrival and leaving. It was a great place to stay for a long weekend!

Thankyou once again for sharing your beautiful home with us. My family loved our stay and my grandchildren did not want to leave. Best family holiday we have had and fingers crossed we get to do it again. Thankyou Alan and Liz.

We really enjoyed our family stay at Karen’s place, super clean and tidy, the house itself was excellent, new/modern with great tech, well designed. Location was awesome, quiet street, easy lake access. House had everything you needed and more, loved the espresso machine. Great communication and checkin/house instructions were detailed and easy. We would love to stay again and would highly recommend.

Amazing place. Highly recommend. Great location on the lake front. Very clean and modern. Would book to stay here again and again. Looks exactly like the photos.

Stellas house was an amazing place to stay. Across the road from the beach, can see the water, walking distance to shops. Great house and fantastic location..

Wonderful stay in Tahawai, would absolutely stay again! The views were stunning and Yana was a great host.

Outstanding and perfect place to stay and relax yourself for couple of days and the place was totally worth for what we paid for. Will definitely choose this property if we visit Rotorua again in future.

A fantastic classic Kiwi bach experience. Exactly as described and the location is fantastic - right on the water's edge. Nothing fancy about this Airbnb but that's the point - it's clean, comfortable and full of charm. Highly recommend.

The most caring host I’ve ever dealt with on Airbnb, very understanding and kind, this will be the only place I’ll come back to stay at when I’m back with my family in Rotorua, next time my wife will do all the booking ;) lol

This is the second time we have stayed at the lake house in Lake Tarawera, We couldn't recommend it enough! Such an awesome spot if you have a boat or jetskis , If not they have kayaks you are welcome to use. Playground is about a 3-5 minute walk for the kids, Tennis Court is right at your door step. All the neighbors are very friendly and make you feel right at home. If your thinking about booking don't think about it just book it you will have an amazing time!

Such a great property for a large family to enjoy the simple things. Photos are accurate and place is exactly as described. The reserve next door makes you feel like you have an even larger backyard. Great walks near by, easy access to lake a short walk or 2 minute drive away. Friendly and responsive hosts. Our 2nd time here and will visit again.

It was the quintessential kiwi batch feel to a great location. The fact that we could take our dog was priceless and we are so thankful for such.

Wow, what a place this was. Stunning house right on the beach with amazing views. Megan and Craig were superb hosts and made us feel right at home and well cared for. Will definitely be back again!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The kayaking was great, and the BBQ was wonderful to have. Plenty of linen/towels, a well equipped kitchen and lots of outdoor seating. Could walk into town and only a short drive to Ngaranui beach. We would love to stay again!

Benny was very lovely and went out of his way to make our stay comfortable, he even went out of his way to get us laundry detergent ☺️

My friend and I chose Gillian’s place because of its location being close to Kawakawa bay boat ramp, but we were BLOWN AWAY. This little cabin is in the most beautiful place, with a stunning farm view. There is a little creek where pukeko would wander, along with cows, magpie, and TURKEY. We had so much fun watching out of the window at the peaceful view. It is just a walk down from the beach, unfortunately we weren’t able to swim because it was too cold (we came in winter), but it was a breathtaking view. The cabin itself has all the amenities listed, and is cozy and beautifully furnished. So much better than either of us were expecting, a perfect getaway. Thank you Gilian and Mal!

Lovely little home. Great location.

We stayed for almost a week as a family of four. This is one of the best Airbnbs we have stayed in. The Pods were immaculate, exactly as described. The location is fantastic, the view is incredible, there is lots to see and do, and it is very peaceful. We jumped off the rock, went to the squeeze and the baths and stopped in for coffee at Orakei Korako. All magical locations. A short kayak to Paradise Hot Spring a hidden gem. Sherrie & Mark are wonderful hosts, and we will definitely be back.

We loved our Whareroa stay - a beautiful and peaceful location, and the bach was perfect for our family and dog for a lovely calm week. Well-appointed, comfortable, warm and welcoming. Thanks so much!

Stunning place, pretty remote and away from any noise. We loved the peace and quiet. Greg was extremely helpful and went out of his way to accommodate us. Do remember to bring some USB cables as the plugs are car chargers and won't take usb-c or normal plugs :) Would definitely stay again!

Such a beautiful spot to relax and get away. Stunning views and peaceful setting. We travelled with our dog and young children and everyone enjoyed themselves. Hosts were very responsive. Would stay again.

looking for peace & to switch off from the pressures of city life for a night or two then this is the place for you, Fantastic scenery, private & the option of 3 different rooms. you can hire all 3 and it would be an awesome get away for family or a group of friends. One of the rooms has its own bathroom and the other two shared facilities which were only a couple of meters away in the stockyard shed.All clean safe and great hot shower too! We had the best sleep ever! It is off the grid but the solar power was more than enough for basic power, lighting,charging devices etc.Cell phone reception is patchy but a few steps up to the barn and you well connected to the world again. (also being semi disconnected added to the charm of the place.) Bring all your own food & drinks + maybe a board game or 2 and really just enjoy the awesome spot without having to venture into town &relax. bonus is the use of a private boat ramp, we had our 2 jetskis and had an amazing time exporting the lake

Thanks Sarah. We had a most enjoyable stay in a stunning location. Tranquil, good to get out into the bush, and to be able to canoe on the lake. Left feeling refreshed!
