Vacation rentals with beach access in Bay Of Islands

We love staying at the Gables Apartment . Beautiful location on the waterfront . Apartment is well appointed and very comfortable Perfect retreat to restore the soul Kelly is a wonderful host very helpful and accommodating

Lovely property with everything you could need! Deborah was a fantastic host - incredibly friendly and kind! 5 mins walk to Hihi beach and town only a short 10-15min drive away this is a perfect spot to explore the area. I’ll definitely stay again if I’m back in the area. Many thanks indeed for letting me stay!

Although the weather wasn’t great, our stay was lovely. Peter and Jacqueline let us know right away that the spa was broken but that they were working to get it fixed as soon as possible. They even brought us chocolates to make up for it. We were very happy to get to use it on our last morning. The view was fantastic!

Lovely place nestled in the hills of Russell. Little drive into the main town but nice relaxed area. Place was spacious. There are a few other rooms but not really an issue. Views are great.

Lovely stay, highly recommend Lil's place. The location is awesome, so relaxing, comfortable bed, everything you need for a great stay is provided, love there is a full size fridge, BBQ, washing machine and dryer amongst other essentials. Lil is very helpful and there is plenty of information about walks, where to go and what to see. Being able to walk across the road to the water each day was a bonus and the views from the unit are forever changing as the tides come and go and the sun rises and sets. Some days there are cattle next door at the fence. I highly recommend staying and will return in the near future.

Leanne was a wonderful host; excellent with communication and very helpful. The accomodation has a stunning view and is beautifully kept - comfortable, clean and just right for our stay (a two-nighter). The location was excellent; close to the city which has wonderful restaurants - of note The Quay. Highly recommended.

Great location - walkable to Paihia waterfront but away from the bustle of the main road. It was very clean and had everything we needed including kitchen utensils. The bathroom was nice and spacious with the spa being a very nice bonus.

Wendy’s place in Paihia was wonderful! It is in a prime location with parking included, and provides easy access to wharf, restaurants and shopping. It was clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed. Thank you Wendy!

This place is gorgeous and a perfect location, easy walk to town and wharf. The place has a beautiful large deck that was excellent for relaxing with wonderful views. But Mary went above and beyond by leaving us some light groceries and even a bottle of wine which was such a wonderful welcome gift! Beautiful stay, definitely recommend it! Susan, Dallas Tx

Great location, within walking distance to beautiful beaches. The house was well-equipped and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Chloe and Ben were friendly and super responsive, making our experience even better.

Fabulous accommodation in a beautiful area. Stunning house & outdoor area & friendly & helpful hosts. Thank you so much! We thoroughly enjoyed our break away at your spot!

We spent a night at Merrill’s place on our road trip. The place was very easy to find just off the main road north. Merrill met us at check in a showed us around the house. We were given breakfast provisions for the next morning which was very nice and also some local fruit to try. The property has 2 bedrooms and a combined living room and kitchen with everything you need. The Ruakaka beach is beautiful just about 15 min walk or 3 min drive away. We would stay again.

We had a lovely peaceful few days here to start our family adventure in New Zealand. We arrived very jet lagged but were easily able settle into the comfortable apartment and all slept well. Breakfasts were enjoyed on the deck looking at the Point and down to the water. Birds sang all day. It’s a quick drive to Russell (decent coffee and friendly at Hellhole). We stayed very local, walking a couple of easy tracks and swimming in the calm sandy bay at the bottom of the road. The highlight of the trip was heading out in the evening with Douglas to kiwi spot. Our daughters really wanted to see a kiwi in the wild and this was the reason we booked to stay here. Douglas was very generous with his time and knowledge. When kiwi eluded us we went out another time. We did, when we had just about given up hope, find a kiwi and it will be a life long memory for us all. Douglas, and his brother William who lives below were kind and responsive hosts. We thoroughly recommend!

Sarah was great at communicating very understanding and made checking in and out a breeze even accomodating when we were not going to be checked out in time made it very stressfree for us. We had yummy eggs in the fridge when we got there and everything you could need for a weekend away. Thank you Sarah for making our stay very easy and stress-free. Would definitely recommend this place for your next stay in Whangarei :)

Incredible location and well equiped place for a group! Can’t beat those views!

This is the most beautiful house in the most stunning of locations. You will never get tired of the views 😍 Donna was amazing as our host and we will absolutely be returning.

Very friendly, very tidy well looked after property

Unique location above the marina. It was great to spend time on the deck watching the comings and goings of all the boats. The place was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. The Marina Cafe across the carpark had great meals that we ate there two nights in a row. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

For a winter break it really was perfect. Best spot ever. The best part....The people! Friendly, helpful. Kind. Every eatery was great. Op shop for fishing clothes too! Had great fishing with " Buckos" Dont miss it! Will return. Thankyou. BnM

It was a lovely relaxing spot to spend a week in a rural setting with sea views out to the Poor Knights islands. A large property, accessed off a private road so very secluded and peaceful. Handy location half way between Matapouri Bay and Tutukaka, although you do need a car to go anywhere. Kitchen was very well equipped including basic supplies. Access to an indoor swimming pool, ability to charge the EV, and use of the laundry was a bonus. The hosts were very welcoming on arrival and explained the facilities and beach access path. Special touches were a bottle of wine and locally made nut brittle on arrival, and acknowledgement of our wedding anniversary which was during our stay. Annette and Bianca were super helpful and responded promptly to any questions.

Imagine a place where every moment feels like a dream. Just steps away, the beach beckons with its crystal clear water. Downstairs, the spa offers a haven of relaxation, while upstairs, the tranquil surroundings and breathtaking harbour views create a perfect retreat. The weather? Absolutely stunning. The house? Imacculate in every detail. Linda, the host? She goes above & beyond, adding delightful touches like quality coffee pods paired with chocolates, a chilled bottle of bubbkes in the fridge, and#a thoughtful welcome breakfast pack. This is not just accommodation; it's#a first class experience that inspires & rejuvenates! It was hard to leave!

We had a wonderful 3 days stay at Vicki's house. Spotlessly clean, comfy bed and lounge. Kitchen had everything you need. Vicki was great to deal with, so lovely and helpful. awesome views, very private. Would highly recommended Vicki's place. Kind Regards Mike and Shaz WA
