Vacation rentals in Karikari Moana

Such a beautiful place 🙌🏻— it went above and beyond our expectations. A perfect house for a weekend getaway together. It's the ideal spot to enjoy nature, close to beautiful beaches and other places worth visiting. The house is perfectly furnished; you have everything you need, and we even received some fresh eggs. Jim was a great host — friendly, absolutely welcoming, and full of local recommendations. We had a wonderful stay. Highly recommended! ☺️

I recently stayed 5 nights at Rangiputa Retreat. Steve and Vanessa were the most thoughtful, caring and hospitable hosts I've ever stayed with. From Vanessa dropping around eggs, muffins, oranges, battered fish, and sashimi, to Steves help with getting a snapper smoked, his great yarns and local fishing knowledge, that proved really helpful, and lending his surfcaster to my mate.Just awesome Kiwis and im glad to have met them. So thats the cherry on top of what was already a cracking great place to stay. Ideal for 2 or 3 fishing buddies to stay in what is an exceptional central location, to find a sheltered fishing pozzie no matter the weather. The kitchen had everything I needed, and it was nice that it was easy to keep clean. The bed was super comfy after a long day on the water. I've been coming to Karikari Peninsula for many years and finding this gem of a place has made my trip. Till next time.

This place is fantastic - we were 2 couples staying for 2 nights as part of a trip to Cape Reinga. It is definitely the only place of its kind in this area, and we loved having a super modern yet cosy base for our road trip. It is fully equipped to cook meals, do laundry and have an evening in, and the beds and living area are very comfortable. Lindsay was a very communicative and friendly host, and we found it very easy to find and access. There’s a store and a restaurant close by so you don’t feel too secluded, but still benefit from the privacy and peace of being on a private lot with plenty of nature around. Highly recommend this super cool, unique and comfortable stay for your next trip to Northland! Thank you Lindsay!

Wonderful set up, has everything that you need! Close walking distance to beach and is in a nice peaceful neighbourhood. Tracey was a friendly and responsive host. We will definitely be back!

Rhys and Kas’s home exceeded every expectation we had. The view is truly beyond words—something you have to experience to believe. From sunrise to sunset, it felt like living in a postcard. The house itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we could possibly need. The short walk to the beach was one of our favorite parts—just a few minutes through a gorgeous, peaceful trail that felt like a hidden gem. Our kids loved it, and we soaked in every moment as a family. Rhys and Kas were an exceptional hosts—kind, attentive, and incredibly responsive throughout our stay. This home offered us the perfect mix of comfort, beauty, and tranquility. We can’t recommend it enough and would come back in a heartbeat!

Satchya has created a private and beautiful oasis in the far north where such lodgings are few and far between! It was a privilege to stay in such a relaxing and thoughtfully set up accommodation and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. I hope to come back regularly and enjoy the peace and relaxation that this special spot offers. We took up the offer of a wonderful meal prepared for us and it was delivered by Satchaya and her husband with a quick friendly welcome and chat. We had the snapper with organic salad and it was delicious! There was muesli and fresh milk in the fridge for breakfast along with fresh seed bread and jam/butter. The fire was lit for our arrival as we were a bit later than expected and the heat from the fire is channeled through to the tent so everything was warm and cosy. The whole experience was just what we were hoping for and more. Thanks!

Absolutely lovely little cottage to stay for our two night stay. We enjoyed sitting on the back verandah and looking over the inlet. Enjoyed the heated floor and towel rack in the bathroom. A cosy lounge area with the most amazing book collection. Loved the kitchen and the Nespresso machine. A short walk or drive into town where you'll find the world famous Manganui Fish Shop and a handy supermarket. Also, had a great pizza at Jessies in the main street. Very picturesque little fishing village and would highly recommend. I would have liked to have found an information folder as was not sure what to do with the rubbish on our departure.

Very lovely batch with an amazing view, that has everything you need. Everything was clean and the place is very cozy. Laura is very responsive and went out of her way to help us out when we had problems with our car. Would definitely recommend staying here!
