We had a fabulous time at Gerry and Carol's place. I wish we could have stayed longer. The house was super clean!! And WOW, what a great view of the Ocean. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was amazing! A true find if you are able to stay here, highly recommended. We will be coming back for sure. 5 Gold Stars!!

Okari Cottage

AbiRating, 5 stars1 day ago

A really nice air b and b, so clean and well equipped, host had thought of everything. Just one thing there was no communication prior to arrival which left me worried that we would turn up and not be able to access the property, shouldn’t have worried but would have been better to have some instructions from the host about access. Other than that a perfect property in an excellent location with the best sunset you will ever see.

Seaside on cycle trail. Garden, deck and fibre.

IrmgardRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We enjoyed the quiet place a lot, easy access to the beach which is great to walk on! Cape Foulwind lighthouse is not far. There is an easy walkway to a seal colony. We also went to the Pancake Rocks from Gays place as a day tour. The Rocks are great, but we also very much enjoyed to come back to Gays cabin where it was very quiet, nice sunset and sunrise... we would go there again!

Sunny warm Haven

JonRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Super suite right next to Paparoa. I loved being on the top floor, surrounded by palm trees, birdsong, and the sound of the ocean. It is possible to do an inspired hiking loop without driving by walking down to Paparoa track, cutting south in the inland track, and circling back to the cottage. This will take you past the caverns, pancake rocks, and some of the best hiking around. I felt the suite was very cozy and had a warm feeling.

Punakaiki Retreat

DebRating, 5 stars2 days ago

This was our last stop on our two week trip around central New Zealand. We stayed in many lovely air bnbs but this one was by far the best! The view of the ocean, the privacy, the spaciousness, the nature, and the hot tub under the stars made this stay our absolute favorite! AND the beach below the home is the most beautiful beach I’ve ever been to! 10/10 highly recommend staying here!

MaireRating, 5 stars3 months ago

If you ever get the chance, seize it with both hands and stay at Simon’s place! The location is exceptional, every detail is thought out, its stylish with beautiful art, lovely furnishings and at the same time is completely comfortable. Simon is very welcoming, space abounds and poochies are welcome (with prior arrangements). Truly, I couldn’t recommend it highly enough and will be back there very soon! Thanks Simon, M

#6 The Queen + Single Room $147 for 2 people

KaneRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We arrived at Ghost Lodge after a few long days of riding. We had booked the beach side hot tub to soak our weary bones that evening. Simon met us and showed us around, it is the perfect spot and has been renovated to perfection, down to every detail. Plenty of spaces to chill,relax or chat with other guests. A fabulous beach setting, a well designed and equipped kitchen, and a lovely bathroom. Safe parking for motorbikes even chain wax on hand if required! Highly recommend staying here and a soak in the hot tub, we saw heaps of stars and satellites (including the star link) it’s still warm enough for a bath in the morning watching the sunrise - perfect start to the day. A gorgeous place all round.

Out The Bay | Guest House at the Beach

Jenny & DonRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Such a pleasure to stay at Trish and Kevin’s place! The bed was comfy, the interior beautifully decorated, and the kitchen well stocked . Best of all was the view out the full wall of windows to the beach, and a lovely back patio tastefully appointed too. This couple has put years of work into their homes and property and it shows. And they were fun to talk with to boot! We highly recommend Out The Bay.

The exterior of a modern beachfront house is presented, featuring a spacious upper deck with wooden railings. A gravel driveway leads to the garage, while the surrounding landscape includes natural foliage. Softly illuminated, the structure stands in a serene environment, showcasing its contemporary design.

The Bay House Beachfront Studio (1)

MerjaRating, 5 stars26 months ago

If we had known how nice it was, we would have stayed longer! The view over the beach in front is to die for and there is another beach behind. We enjoyed the walk to the lighthouse and the seal colony. The house was modern and in tip top shape, the bed was very comfortable. The complimentary breakfast was excellent. The hosts were delightful. One of the best places we have stayed at in New Zealand!

An outdoor deck area is visible with a mix of dining tables and chairs arranged for guests. A large shade sail and a patio umbrella provide protection from the sun. Partial views of the sea and surrounding greenery create an inviting setting.

We had an amazing stay at Daniel’s bach! The location is absolutely stunning, easily one of the most scenic spots we’ve visited. From the sound of waves crashing to the breathtaking sunset views and a private beach right at our doorstep, it was pure magic. The bach itself was very comfortable, well-maintained, and had all the basic amenities we needed. Everything was clean and thoughtfully arranged. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Highly recommend!
