Vacation rentals with a kayak in Bay Of Islands

Stunning location with a spectacular view. House was comfortable and coped very well with our group of 7, however the upstairs bedrooms need to be shared by a family as access to the bathroom was through the other bedroom. Road up to house very tricky and probably better attempted with a 4 wheel drive. We had a great week and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

"We had the pleasure of staying at Jessica's house for the second time, and it was just as wonderful as our first visit! The property is clean, beautifully maintained, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

A great house for a family stay. Use of paddle boards and kayaks was good to have. Easy launch of our inflatable boat from the beach when the tide is in. Comfy beds and great views from the deck.

We can only echo the sentiment shared by others who have stayed here, the views are wonderful, the house is well equipped, it's clean, it's peaceful and relaxing (for everyone!). The house was nice and cozy when the weather wasn't too great and there were plenty of games/activities in and around the house to keep us all entertained (3 kids). If you're a family looking to book a place in KeriKeri, this is it. Thank you Ben & Tereza for being kind, thoughtful and excellent hosts.

We had a wonderful stay, the outlook from the bach is so peaceful. All of our family including the grand kids completely relaxed. We loved our visit and look forward to returning. Thanks for having us and our dog

Lovely place to stay. Very well equipped. Great for family group of 3 generations. Great views from all rooms and always something happening on estuary. Pool table, spa , pizza oven and kayaks provided great variety of options. Highly recommend

Great accomodation and service with Peter. Would highly recommend

We very much enjoyed our time at Karen and Grants place. We were 2 adults and 3 kids and had plenty of space, and even quite some toys and books available. The area around the bay is wonderful and offers a lot of nice walks and beaches. It is definitly a space worth on our list of go-there-again places!

Sally and Kev are friendly hosts with a gorgeous spot right by the water. Plenty of room for our family of four, two bedrooms inside the cottage and a well appointed sleep-out. Amenities to meet all needs when staying away from home. Would fully recommend!

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!!

Wonderful stay in an idyllic place. So restful ... it matches it's name.. a real sanctuary. Very comfrtable cottage with all that was required for an enjoyable and peaceful stay. Bed linen was high quality ensuring a restful sleep. Beautiful garden and seafront, where we managed a swim at hide tide. Few minutes drive to eateries and good base for karikari peninsula and Cape Reigna. Would highly recommend. Host was very responsive. One note of caution is to ensure you get exact address in advance as google maps sent us on a wild goose chase!

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!

This place is a perfect getaway. It has everything you need. Full kitchen, grill, king size bed. The place is very comfortable. You can take kayaks and paddle around or go to the great remote beach.

Kathryn’s place was amazing! We loved our stay. I couldn’t believe how well stocked it was. Everything we needed was there. It was extremely comfortable. The hospitality was so welcoming and we felt right at home. The view and the serenity take the cake though. Not often you get ocean, mountains, pastures, cows etc all at one place. Definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful relaxing time, despite the wet weather. The space was clean and beautiful with a spacious modern bathroom. Chris even had chocolate and a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived later than check-in time. She was friendly and responsive throughout our stay. We'd stay again as it is in a great location between Lang's Beach and Waipu Cove. Thanks for having us, Chris.

We really enjoyed our stay. The place was quiet, private, and had stunning views. Everything was well-kept, making for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Would highly recommend staying here.

We booked Diane's beautiful cabin for our familyfriends from overseas that came to stay up north for our wedding. The cabin was only 5 minutes from our place which made it very convenient as they we're new to Whangarei. Diane is very communicative and greeted our guests on their arrival. They only had good things to say about their stay and they really enjoyed the clean and tidy cabin and of course the lovely peaceful surroundings of nature around as well. Thank you Diane for welcoming our dear family friends into your property. Definitely will book your place again 😊

Really enjoyed our stay at Clive’s place. He was a great host with lots of good recommendations. Pataua south is a beautiful location and we hope to be back. Cabin was just what we needed and very tidy. Perfect spot for a dog and the beach is only 10m outside of your own private gate!

Such an incredibly beautiful and private spot right by the water, with breathtaking views from sunrise to sunset. The Bird Box is also perfectly formed, thoughtfully kitted out with every amenity - it’s absolutely gorgeous inside and out. We feel so very lucky we got to stay here, have a hot cuppa on the deck as the day dawns or after a wonderful day of adventure in around the area - there’s so much to explore. Maxine’s a great host too and made us feel so welcome ❤️ we absolutely loved our stay!

Sean and Becs are outstanding hosts, and the cabin (particularly it's location) exceeded our expectations. We are walking Te Araroa and stopped here for a rest day- so had no vehicle. Sean was more than happy to take us to the shops (5km away) when they were heading that way and dropped us back to the trail when we left. They offered us veges from the garden, helpful advice and were all 'round great hosts and really nice people. The location is amazing and not mentioned much in the listing- the cabin looks out over a grapevines and a sloping lawn to the harbour. It's peaceful and relaxing, and the shower (in a small separate cabin ) is excellent. We didn't use the sauna but it is located right on the waters edge. Highly recommended!

What an amazing little cottage on the water to relax and enjoy New Zealand's beauty! Perfect little spot to catch up with nature and see so many species of birds all around. The cottage even had fresh picked flowers when we arrived to make it even more magical. We can not wait to return to the cottage on our next trip back to New Zealand. The host Anna was wonderful and very responsive our entire stay! She helped us out and checked in on us during our stay to see if we needed anything. Thank you so much Anna, you were amazing.

Kevin and John were such lovely hosts! They were kind and thoughtful and friendly .The place itself was cosy and filled with thoughtful amenities. Perfect for a weekend getaway. Beautiful walks around the area and close enough to the town centre. We would love to visit them again sometime :)

Was a wonderful weekend, Nicole was so kind and welcoming!!
