Cottage vacation rentals in Bay Of Islands

River Cottage was such a gem! The surroundings were like a jungle, the grounds were beautiful and there was fun activities like board games and kayaks. We were even able to borrow a fishing pole and caught a fish! I enjoyed walking around the farm property and river area. My favorite part was access to a lookout tower off the deck. I made my latte each morning and climbed up there to enjoy it while watching and listening to all the birds. Book this place, it's magical!

Our time at the Shearer’s cottage was absolutely magical. My husband and I stayed with our three children for three nights. We were all utterly delighted when we walked in the door - lots of excited gasps from everyone - the surroundings are gorgeous, the property is thoughtfully appointed and spotlessly clean… far enough from the madding crowd to feel peaceful and secluded, yet still a very convenient drive to Kerikeri and the Bay of Islands. Ian and Anna were very friendly and communicative and made us feel totally welcome. Allow time to make the most of this beautiful place. The dawn chorus is glorious! Make sure you opt in for the spa by the river. We really hope we can visit again. Thank you so much Ian and Anna.

Amazing place to stay. We were blown away with all the wee extras provided. Awesome place to stay with kids. Highly recommend. Great communication from host and offering alternative options with weather event.

A great space with plenty of room for our weekend away of 5 ladies. comfortable beds, a bit chilly, but nicely set out and plenty of things to use for cooking your own meals

Gorgeous! Well located, beautiful private cottage. You cannot go wrong booking with Steve, Dot and Charlie. Wish we had time to stay longer; will definitely return.

The bach was lovely, real kiwi bach also Toni was amazing to deal with and left clear instructions on how to get to the bach as well as checking ourselves in Had everything you possibly would need for a trip away I absolutely loved the place and such an awesome area! The beach would be perfect for kids or swimmers who aren't to confident as the waves aren't strong at all but also have the option of a short walk to the end of the beach to a big shallow area with very little to no waves I really recommend this little bach, I fell in love and definitely would stay again!!

Great spot on the hill with views down to the caves, well set up and the deck overlooking the fruit tree was really nice.

Everything was easy, clean and exactly how we expected it. Booking, check in and check out was uncomplicated. Definitely a great spot if you just want to relax and enjoy! Garden, terrace and house are beautiful and the short walk to the beach is amazing. We would definitely recommend this place and come again!

Easily one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had! So many thoughtful touches and extremely well equipped for our stay with our dog and baby which made our little trip away so lovely. Such a cute charming little stay and excellent value for money, we were also very happy we could book for just one night. The surrounding areas on the property are so peaceful and serene I just wish we had more time to enjoy it!

Jeremy & Andrea were helpful and friendly. We had a fantastic stay! The place was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The location was ideal, just a short walk to the beach, which was perfect for morning and evening walk One of the highlights was definitely the wood-fired pizza oven. It was such a fun we really enjoyed making pizzas and spending the evening outdoors

If it were possible we'd give this place 10 stars! You won't regret staying here, at your own private slice of Taupo Bay paradise. Whether you're just a couple or with a big group of friends, Gary and Debbie's place is perfect for you. Brilliant communication from area experts. We hope to be back soon 😊

A beautiful, airy house just steps away from one of the loveliest beaches in Aotearoa. A magic spot. Every facility you could want is there. Comfortable beds, nice linen, a lovely kitchen to cook in if you feel so inclined. The hosts were responsive, friendly and helpful. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Lovely family home with all that the description and photos promise and much more! A once in a lifetime location. We stayed here for the last days of our NZ trip and really appreciated relaxing and exploring the area and fabulous beaches north and south. A big thank you Carol!

We loved staying here, exactly what we needed, they even led our tamariki down to the creek to see the tuna! The house had everything and was absolutely sparkling. Great kitchen to cook in, and a generous friendly host.

Cute cottage very comfortable for 2 especially in the cooler months as main living area is small Great location with gorgeous 5 min walk into Russell , and 15 mins to the flagstaff hill , amazing views . James was generous with flexible check in and offered us a late check out . His list of suggestions were super helpful . Not a lot of sun ( end of May ) but a lovely bushy setting .

Mark was helpful with the late check in. Easy to find, easy parking with our truck. Beautiful place

We stayed 10 days at The Miner’s Cottage and honestly, I could have stayed forever. The cottage was an absolute gem - quaint, comfortable, quiet and private and best of all, within walking distance of a fabulous beach and ice cream shop! There is so much to do in the Far North and this cottage is a lovely place to base yourself in while exploring all the attractions this part of the country has to offer. Bachman was always responsive with any questions we had. I cannot recommend this cottage highly enough and would definitely stay again.

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

We realy liked the place, once we arrived we felt like home and realy liked the views and the area

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Bruce’s place. Warm and inviting, clean and tidy with everything you need, Bruce waited and welcomed me into the cottage before leaving me to be. Conveniently located not far from Kaikohe township, but in a peaceful location where you don’t take notice of the traffic. Definitely a place to stay and return to if you’re in Kaikohe.
