Waterfront vacation rentals in Bay Of Islands

Such a beautiful home. Well taken care of, plenty of amenities for a family. Stunning views, great size rooms and we appreciated the kids toys to keep our boys busy. Only negative is that our stay was so short. Thank you guys !

One of the things that’s hard about finding a place in a new place is the sense of relative distances. We were further outside of town than we had expected, but man was it worth it. The views down to the bay were spectacular. And being from the northern hemisphere, the night sky is of particular interest. We were lucky with high pressure, so being just far enough outside of town gave us breathtaking star gazing. Jo was so helpful in making suggestions for places to see, quickly able to help us prioritize based on the way we roll, a good mix of walking and driving, a wonderful resource and real hospitality pro. Already looking forward to our next visit.

We couldn’t believe that the apartment was all ours! We didn’t need all the room. There was enough kitchen stuff to easily cook dinner and our view was better than any restaurant in town. Very comfortable king bed and our car was in a garage.

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.

Fabulous! Truly fabulous!! I really can’t say enough about Anita and The Loft. Anita met us at The Loft and gave us a quick tour, explained how the appliances worked, gave us great recommendations for the area. She is so welcoming and it was fun to chat with her. The Loft has a lovely deck to sit on and watch all the comings and goings of the harbor. The rooms were spacious, beds comfortable, kitchen equipped for cooking, showers great, all decorated tastefully. Extra touches like milk, chilled water, greenery bouquet, chocolates were appreciated! Everything was top notch!! Having a dedicated parking spot was extra nice. We really hated to leave and hope we can come back someday!! Thanks Anita!!

An absolute dream house! Stunning apartment with a gorgeous view. You definitely feel like spending a holiday with style :) Breakfast at Seaside restaurant are mind blowing! Best coffee in town. Plus! You get a discount :) We had the best time there. Will definitely recommend and we will repeat! Thanks!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Waimiro. The apartment is spacious, well-planned and equipped - also modern and spotless with the most stunning sea views. It was a joy to immerse ourselves into this peaceful location from the deck, be it on the relaxing lounger or with drinks at the table. Jane provided an expansive and useful welcome pack including visitor recommendations. We really enjoyed our day walking along the beach into Paihia, taking the foot ferry to Russell, climbing to the outlook at Flagstaff Hill, swimming at Long Beach - winding up with a fish and chip finale on the beach back at Paihia! Last but not least, Jane is the perfect host; welcoming, interesting, warm and helpful. Our sincere thanks to her and Dave. Our one regret is that we couldn't stay longer.

Great stay - easy checkin and lovely view

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.

A great place to stay with fabolous views over the bay. Marion is a great host with amazing local knowledge and happy to share, opportunity not to be missed. location is great, needs relative fitness to walk up the hill.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Karl’s house. The area is beautiful and peaceful. The home is well-equipped with amenities as described, including a hot tub under the stars. We are so glad we included a few days in the Northland during our trip. The natural beauty is outstanding, and we hope to return in the future.

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

Awesome place to stay, right by the water. Thank you very much.

Wonderful stay, enjoyed the bottle of wine and welcome card left for us

Had a lovely stay at Andrea's place, beautiful location and super convenient if you will be taking the car ferry! Loved all of the windows, and also the helpful amenities like coffee, a spot of milk, and filtered water.

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!

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

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
