Historic Waterfront Cottage
A lovely spot, private and peaceful with amazing views of the water. Prompt communication and flexible arrival time .. Thanks Tim, we had a relaxing few days.

Harbour Palms Apartmentt
Fabulous hosts, lovely accommodation. We stayed for three nights, and all loved it including our puppy. If we didn't have to be back home for things, we would've extended our stay by a couple more nights. I'm sure we will be back again though. Thanks for the lovely stay

Kawau Island Treehouse
Michael, We would like to thank you for affording us the opportunity to stay at your place. Getting away from the hustle and bustle of life gave us the chance to switch off, relax and take in nature. The views are amazing and getting out on the kayaks paddling around the island and visiting the smaller secluded islands like Pembles island isn’t something you get to experience often. We would also like to acknowledge and thank you for making this booking so easy. Your communication has been outstanding, directions and instructions were clear and we could not have asked for a better host. We highly recommend Micheal and staying at the Tree house at Kawau Island.

Beachfront 4 bdrm home with hot tub
This was a fabulous place to stay with a young family. Proximate to the beach and playground. Easy one level house with great outdoor area including a trampoline and spa. Would recommend.

Kiwiana Bach in the Sand Dunes
We're had a fabulous time staying at this beautiful location. The perfect place to relax and unwind. Maxine was an awesome host and kept us well informed about the local water outage on one of the days, to ensure it didn't spoil our holiday. It didn't. It's been fun making memories as a family, at this home away from home.

Waipu Cove - Waterfront and Spa
what a place!! the house is far back road and incredibly serene. we came with two young kids and 4 adults and there was heaps to keep us occupied. trip across the estuary with kayaks to these amazing beach breaks a particular highlight. The whole house has something for everyone and honestly think we may be back. Rebecca was also an amazing host and had loads of local knowledge to share.

Ariki beachfront apartment 2 bed
It was my first family holiday since 2017. The AirBnB was a new experience for me, but the hosts were respectful and their place was wonderful! I was able to bring our 2 x dogs which was great and I took them for a walk every morning, greeting others with their dogs on the way. My adult children loved being able to hang out at the beach and sit in the hot tub or use the kayaks on offer. My husband unfortunately worked every day but was able to enjoy to peace and quiet at night. Having a washing machine was practical and saved my workload when we returned home. We visited Charlies Gelato which was yum and I was able to purchase some beautiful wine from Brick Bay vineyard. Matakana was disappointing it felt like Auckland with long lines of traffic and expensive products however, the lady at Honest Chocolate was lovely. We fished off Scotts Landing and caught 5 legal snapper. All in all, I would highly recommend this AirBnB, absolutely the best holiday in a very long time. Thank you.

Modern Luxury Beachfront Escape with A/C
It is a peaceful and quiet place to stay. I asked a lot of questions on the first day, but the host was very proactive and responsive. The space was perfect for two adults and three kids. The kids had a great time paddleboarding at the beautiful beach right in front, and the movie theater at night was a blast.

The Beach Retreat - brand new
Fabulous accommodation in a beautiful area. Stunning house & outdoor area & friendly & helpful hosts. Thank you so much! We thoroughly enjoyed our break away at your spot!

Sunset Cabin on Estuary Beach
We loved our stay, beautiful surroundings and nice to get to explore them with the kayaks and paddle boards available. Belinda and her husband were above and beyond hosts, will definitely be back!

Beach house in unbeatable seaside location
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.

Tropical coastal retreat with pool!
Enjoyable stay. Will stay again when down there

Amazing host, great communication and super clean and tidy house.

By the sea - Snells Beach
Perfect stay. A lovely apartment with views of the water- we ate dinner every evening sitting on the patio enjoying the bay. The apartment itself was clean and very comfortable. Robyn was so helpful with suggestions of things to do in the area and on our forward journey. Always responsive and kind. Loved the personal touches such as fresh flowers and cookies. Wish we had organized things to stay longer. Thank you Robyn!

Lovely spot, and we had a wonderful time with the kids.

Silver Tide - Stunning Home, Panoramic Ocean Views
Such a beautiful spot. The house was very clean and tidy on arrival. Clean sheets & towels - our large family group immediately felt right at home. There was plenty of space for our group of 12.. we didn’t feel crammed in and everyone had a very comfortable bed. The views were amazing, hosts were easily contacted and we were all very comfortable during our stay. Would highly recommend. The bucket of Easter eggs in the fridge were a lovely surprise too 🥰

Big Light House '24 Home of Year
This place is beyond amazing — the photos don’t do it justice. The design, furnishings, and amenities are all top-notch, from the spa to the shower to the living spaces. But what really sets it apart is the beachfront location. We woke up to perfect sunrises on a stunning beach, with a range of native birds to keep us company. 10/10, would absolutely stay again.

Kawau Lodge - Kotuku Master Suite plus 6 bedrooms
Accommodation was lovely with great views and facilities. Gower and Robyn were very helpful and informative. Would definitely love to stay again next time we visit the island. Thanks! Tenzin and Ivana
