Cottage vacation rentals in Auckland

Great family stay for three generations. Local beaches are close by and all amenities you could need are not far by car. Shops for essentials are within easy walking distance. Something to do in all weathers

We can't speak highly enough about the place. It's a little haven where the atmosphere and surroundings almost force you to kick back and forget about [almost] everything and just enjoy. The surrounding areas compliment the accommodations, and the local people reflect the laid-back approach to life. With pristine beaches, great food from the local cafes and restaurants through to the weekend markets there is something for everyone here.

Great spot for a relaxing break with stunning views. Exactly as described and cosy during the storms. Baths were a nice additional and there were lots of nice touches with the muffins and the milk. Perfect for unwinding whilst not being too far from the city. Thanks for a great stay!

Such a beautiful home 'away from home' 😊 very cosy, clean and charming. Anything you would need has been thought of. Wonderful surroundings, private and peaceful. So tastefully put together. Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous place with us ☺️

Perfect spot for a relaxing wekend with friends. We loved how close it was to the beach and the bikes made it so easy to get around Omaha. Kate was super helpful and accommodating.

We had stayed at Linda's lovely cottage twice previously and it was great to be back again. Such a stylish comfortable cottage in a lovely peaceful location with a great outlook. Linda is an excellent host and we always feel very welcome.

What an exquisite and inspiring view of Bethells Beach! The view from the deck was amazing. The cottage was very quiet and peaceful. John was an excellent host. We enjoyed walking the beach and hiking to Lake Waimanu past the huge dunes.

Wonderful location on Waiheke Island with beautiful views and great outdoor amenities. Walkable to restaurants and stores. The house itself was comfortable and well stocked. Brad left a nice bottle of wine. We did let Brad know that the house did not seem to have been professionally cleaned before we arrived. We didn’t let that ruin our trip and still had a great time on the island.

The main purpose for this trip was to help with our daughter's move to Auckland. From that, we were looking for somewhere convenient to her new place that we could use as a home base. Barbara's place was that, and more! True to the pictures, it's a lovely wee cottage with gorgeous views. Despite being in the city, the cottage is pleasantly private, looking into bush, with the bay beyond, and quiet. Moreover, the Coastal Track is just up -- or down -- the road, providing opportunities for bush walks, while restaurants and shops are also nearby and handy. We'd happily stay again on our next visit to Auckland -

Fantastic views and space for the price! This is perfect for all types of occasions with a group of family or friends. The host was responsive and we were given clear instructions on everything regarding to the house, check in, directions, recycling, etc! Highly recommended!

Such a peaceful location in lovely surroundings. The bed was very comfortable and the cottage cosy. Jasmijn was a great host and very welcoming and friendly. Matt’s whitebait fritters were to die for and the whole experience was relaxing and a good way to recharge one’s batteries.

Our sailing team of students and adults stayed at this beach house. Everything was as we expected and everyone enjoyed their stay! Thanks for always being so resposive and communictaive. Much appreciated! We would highly recommend this beach house!

The hosts of Songbird Cottage have gone to a lot of trouble to make this place special. So many lovely features, both inside the cottage and around the grounds. One of the best instructions manuals we have encountered, including lots of great recommendations for local walks, attractions and eateries. Top marks.

Alysn was great very helpful instructions for getting to the house. Such a beautiful house and location, wish we could have stayed longer.

Apart from the must do Coromandel cove (particularité in the early morning), don't miss the hike to TE PA historique réservé which is not far away from the bnb.

Great location, very quiet, peaceful, had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting on the front patio and watching the sun set and birds and even a couple bunnies. House was very quiet and a great size for our family of three.

road to the accommodation a bit choppy everything fine at the place itself

Overall we had an awesome time staying at your cottage - our girls really enjoyed the pool and we appreciated the lovely community you live in - Managawhai is truly Magical in our books … Thank You!!

A beautiful stay amongst nature. I appreciated the little set up. Loved the afternoon/evenings with the sun shining in. A recommended stay! Note - not all cooking facilities present but enjoyed exploring the local eateries over dinner whilst watching the sun set.

Was a great location! A close and easy walk to the beach. Very clean and comfortable place. A quick drive to downtown Auckland but a nice peaceful distance from the big city. It was perfect! I would highly recommend staying here!

Perfect stay. We were a couple with a 5-year-old child. The cottage is perfectly equipped in all areas: bedding, kitchen utensils, dishes, bathroom, laundry, there are even some toys; everything is there. The environment is nice with a lovely garden. I highly recommend the cottage. Thank you

Beautiful cottage in a peaceful location just out of Whangarei. It has a full oven and microwave so easy for self-catering. Bridget was a great host - very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend

We had the pleasure of staying at John and Cornine's place after an unexpected event at our previous accommodation. It was during the Easter public holiday, and we were traveling with our dog, so we honestly didn’t think we’d be able to find anywhere suitable last minute. To our surprise and gratitude, John and Cornine kindly made an exception to their no-pets policy and welcomed us in, allowing our holiday to continue stress-free. Their home is sunny, peaceful, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. It’s also just a couple of minutes' drive to the beach. John and Cornine were exceptional hosts—warm, communicative, and incredibly responsive. When we experienced a sudden power blowout, they immediately came over with a torch and water box, which was such a relief. They also shared fantastic recommendations for local eateries and things to do, which really enhanced our stay. We’re so grateful for their kindness and hospitality.

loved our stay at this cosy and clean cottage. peaceful and private surroundings, Bridget was easy to communicate with. looking forward to staying again soon.
