Beachfront vacation rentals in Kennedy Bay

As a family of 4 including our small dog, we felt at home, loved being on the Matarangi golf course, lake views and easy walkable beach access We made use of the two Trek bikes at the property as well exploring the area. Fully equipped clean kitchen as well as clean bathrooms and linen. The bedrooms are private offering a clever layout throughout. Thanks once again for having us for a short getaway.

Absolutely perfect for us. Get escape away from people and just super relaxing watching the ocean views. The Bach is the typical kiwi bach very easy to feel at home. We will definitely stay again if we can.

David and Lynn are truly delightful! Their accommodations were the perfect place to stay in Tairua. With a warm welcome and a clean, well equipped guesthouse steps from the water we couldn’t have asked for more! We hope to return someday and will recommend their place to others. Thank you for blessing us with your kindness and little slice of New Zealand!

Lovely accommodation, just perfect for our extended family who were attending my sons wedding. Donna is an exceptional host. Thank you Donna.

Tim is a wonderful host. On the day of our booking, we encountered bad weather and asked Tim, just hoping for the best, if we could change the date. It was during the busy Easter holiday period, but Tim generously offered us another day, for which we’re truly grateful. We had a very pleasant stay. When we arrived at night, there was a light left on outside the house, which made it easy for us to find. There’s cafe just a minute away, which was really convenient. And in the morning, we were greeted by beautiful scenery.

Peaceful getaway with the best view! Roimata made us a warm loaf of homemade wholemeal bread! Bonus was being able to bring our puppy along! 🐶 Perfect spot to relax 😌

Thiis is a magical place with amazing views and a great location. House was equipped with anything we could need and more. Great coffee, lots of cooking oils and seasonings, comfortable furnishings and a very thoughtful guide book. We can't wait to return. Thank you Karin for being a wonderful host and sharing your home with us!

What a fabulous wee place to stay and in such a lovely and peaceful setting. This place had everything we needed and felt warm and inviting. Highly recommend.

Closely drivable to town for anything you may need, but an amazing view from this side of town! Perfect little place. Well kept and everything you need inside. Would love to come stay again!

Location was fantastic, and the waterfront sunrise view was beautiful, and a great way to start your day! Enjoyed spending time on the porch. Self check in process was easy, and having a dedicated parking spot right at the stairwell was a huge convenience. Amenities were excellent & the space itself was clean and nicely decorated. We also appreciated Donna’s quick responses and willingness to accommodate our needs on short notice. Her hospitality truly made a difference in our experience.

The apartment is spacious and modern with stunning views over the marina. It is well equipped with everything you could need. We received clear instructions making it easy to find and access the property. We had a very enjoyable few days exploring the beautiful coastline around Whitianga.

This is a great location on the canal front with a view straight down the waterway facing north.The property has its own water access boat/jet ski launching ramp and pontoon which is really convenient. The pool ,spa and deck areas get plenty of sun and great views. The house was very tidy and larger than expected with plenty of areas for privacy if anyone needed that. The kitchen is equipped with all thats expected in a home to cook for a family group and theres a second fridge and kitchenette to use which is helpful. We would come back again for sure.

Amy’s house is stunning, the photos don’t do it justice, a really luxurious stay. It is less than a minutes walk on the beach, and the outside shower is a real bonus when coming back sandy, great design!location wise as well as being practically on the beach, all the town cafes and blackies are easily walkable. Outside space is amazing - pool, bar and hot tub, sofa seating all around the house in both sun and shade, and great dining space inside and out. All bedrooms had comfy mattresses and bedding, clean spacious bathrooms. Generous office Desk space and WiFi was strong. Useful to be able to put our bikes in the garage for safety. Amy was responsive and proactive at making sure we had everything we needed for a lovely holiday. Finally, must mention the whole home smells like a luxury resort, together with all the tropical planting outside it was like a holiday somewhere exotic!

Nice view and fun glamping pod experience. Slightly close to the next pods but overall would recommend!

Jenny's home was stunning. From the view, to the amenities, to the peaceful location, everything was spot on and spectacular. This is the type of place that people dream about staying in, made reality. Jenny was communicative and proactive in providing instructions and making sure our check-in went smoothly. The local recommendations and equipment provided was key to ensuring we had a good experience not only on the property, but in the surrounding area as well. I would stay there forever if I could, but most definitely would stay there again.

Great place situated very close to the Ocean in a fantastic area. The daily walks on the beach is very good for body and soul and the facilities are perfect. The area opens up so many options, that it can’t be described - just look it up and go for it.

Lovely modern home on river by beach. Beautiful, quiet. Enjoyed kayaking from house to house wish we stayed longer!

Lovely place to stay. Very near to the beach. The cottage was very cute, spotless and had everything we needed. Great pressure in the shower too! Robyn communicated really well. Would highly recommend.

Excellent location, right on the beach and only a short walk to the shops. Wendy is a great host, communicating as soon as the booking was confirmed with essential information.

Absolutely beautiful and serene space. Everything we needed from cooking utensils to cleaning agents were there. Janice was so lovely and responsive. We would absolutely recommend this beautiful spot. thank you for having us ⭐

Wow wow wow! What a place! Michelle was incredibly kind and helpful, her place is immaculately clean and beautifully designed. It’s modern, lush, with plenty of light and everything you need. The place feels new and comfortable. There is a quiet river right in the palm tree garden, with kayaks you can use to explore it. Native birds and trees surround the space. The river access is also a minute away from the beach. You can borrow bikes or surfboards, or shovels to dig out the hot springs hidden under the sands! Even though it rained while we were there, it was a highlight for us. Thank you Michelle and James!

Idyllic location only a few mins drive from Coromandel Town. Perfect for our family of four. Communication with Lynne was excellent throughout. No hesitation booking again

Rob was a great host, super quick responses and opened the house to us earlier when their was no guests before us. House is very spacious and homey. Kid friendly and the beach right across the road. We will always look for robs place first when we come back to Waihi beach!

We booked the lower apartment for 10 days If there are guests above in the other apartment of the house, it gets noisy. But the hosts point out! The listing is accurate and ok!
