Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Bay Of Islands

We have stayed here several times now and enjoy the experience every time. Fantastic location, great host.

Great host and very good communication, we felt warmly welcomed. The view from the deck and the rooms was beautiful. The place was spacious enough for our small family. The place is cosy, fully equipped and has everything you need. Cafe and Fish and Chips are just down the road. Beautiful surroundings, with plenty to do. We would definitely recommend.

It is a fabulous place to stay for families and the additional equipment that they have for the families to use is amazing. The setting is glorious and outlook is stunning. The Bay its self is very safe for children to undertake water activities. The hosts were lovely and went above and beyond with additional options for linen because of the rainy weather conditions. We would have no hesitation in booking to stay again.

Great accomodation and service with Peter. Would highly recommend

Absolutely beautiful.. Bach was very clean, Owner helped with any questions we had, very quick response, Views was incredible, Peaceful.. you cannot find a better spot.. 10/10 loved it!! Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back :) Thanks !

Very quaint property with loads of character. Easy walking distance to Russell centre. Highly recommend

We were a group of three couples (six people total), so we booked a place with three bedrooms to comfortably accommodate everyone. Sophie’s place turned out to be a great choice — all of us were very satisfied with the stay. One thing I had overlooked before booking was that there is only one bathroom (toilet, shower, and hand washing all in one space), so we had to be mindful of taking turns to avoid overlaps. Also, there were no mirrors in the bedrooms, which made it a bit inconvenient when getting ready. It would be even better if mirrors were placed inside the wardrobes or somewhere in the rooms. Only one of the three bedrooms had an oil heater, so the couple staying in that room were a bit envious by the others. ;-) Overall, it was a very pleasant stay, and we’d be happy to come back the next time we travel to this area.

Very friendly host, very clean and tidy inside, well stocked fridge for brekfast

We had a lovely stay – the house was perfect for our group, with plenty of space and a great layout. It’s well-equipped, beautifully located, and the views are stunning. Despite the wild weather, it was a relaxing place to unwind. We were lucky with sunshine on our last day and made the most of the lawn, trampoline, and pool. The house isn’t a show home and could use a refresh in places, but it’s comfortable, homely, and ideal for groups. Communication was easy and everything was as described. Would absolutely stay again – I bet it's even better in sunny weather!

Anika was a fantastic host and the house is close to so many cute shops and cafes.

Diane’s place was absolutely lovely! The service was above and beyond, the place was nice and cosy. It was super convenient being right off the highway, but so quiet you couldn’t tell. Beautiful fruit trees on the property. The hosts were available and friendly but also gave us our space.

We can’t wait to come back here. We were four couples, two young children. The house and facilities gave everyone plenty of space to relax and enjoy time together. It’s a great space with plenty to do.

Beautiful place. Everything you need. Great hosts.

The cottage has a gorgeous view - such a treat to wake up to it every morning. Really spacious and ideal for a couple. Short drive away from some amazing beaches. Thank you, Kathy!

We came up from Auckland for a wedding & the property was local to everything The property was great and both Rob & his wife were lovely. We barely seen them so we decided to go say hello down at their Phat House bar in haruru. We had a couple of nephews come and visit while we were up aswell . Catching up with whanau and coming back to relax there was lovely .

We loved this Ruakaka holiday home. It was so warm and homely with a perfect layout, super clean, comfy beds and we loved the set up of the garage. Even though the weather wasn't great, we jumped in the pool. This place would be so epic in summer. Sarah was the perfect host, super responsive.

The bach was perfect, location incredible and Claire was lovely to deal with, we will be back!

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

Lovely spacious and modern house with a beautiful view from the lounge. House was close to town centre. Bathrooms were modern and water had good pressure. Kitchen was functional with plenty appliances and amenities. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly and will return when back in Russell.

We had a wonderful 2 nights at Sunday school. kitchen is well equipped for us to prepare our own meals, bed is incredibly cosy & the hot shower is to die for. With the chilly mornings and nights, the heaters kept all the rooms warm when the temp dropped. loves our stay here :)

My partner and I really enjoyed our two days in this lovely tiny home. The perfect spot to explore the West Coast while still being close to Kerikeri for great restaurants and supplies. The surroundings were very peaceful and quiet. Hosts were very friendly and responsive. Many thanks

My stay in Evi the bus has been nothing other than extremely pleasant. Andrea and her husband John are very kind, welcoming people and their dog Bruno is a real sweetheart. The bus itself is very comfortable and precisely like the pictures represent. The location is perfect for exploring the area (Waitangi, Russell, Paihia) and even for making a trip towards Cape Reinga. The hospitality has been heartwarming and even late at night when I was in need of some help, Andrea came over to assist me. Plus, she even gave me a nature lesson with some very interesting facts about the nightlife and the sounds we could hear outside. Hearing a Kiwi-sound, a Morepork owl and seeing the galaxy extremely clearly from right outside the bus has been an amazing extra. Thanks again for the wonderful few days!

The house is lovely, large and so comfortable — with views from every room! The location is extraordinary. Easy to walk 2 min into the charming town with everything you need and lots of things to do all around. But it’s nice just to sit on the porch and take it all in. It is truly a magic place and Lyn’s home is the most welcoming and wonderful place to be! We hope to come back!

We stayed at Lorna's place for our trip to the Poor Knights. Absolutely perfect spot to stay and explore around Tutukaka. Well set up with everything you could need. Would definitely stay again!
