Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Matarangi

Ryan’s house was exactly what we’d hoped for on our last 4 nights in NZ. The view looking out over the ocean absolutely made our stay! We had everything we needed to do as much as or as little as we liked. The location is very close to the shops by car and definitely walkable (though hilly). We walked to the Cathedral Cove track which we would highly recommend and were fortunate it had re-opened recently. Make sure you do the extra lookout viewpoint loop, the views are incredible. Ryan was responsive, friendly and helpful when communicating. We would recommend Ryan’s home and would definitely stay again if we came back!

We had such a lovely stay, the space was much bigger than expected and perfect for us with our 3 small children. Kitchen was really well equipped and fresh milk in the fridge always helps when you arrive late in the evening. So close to the beach and the little town. We were super comfortable and warm and would definitely return in the future. Thank you ! :)

Great bach with lots of space, worked for our family group perfectly (including our two dogs - really appreciate you being pet friendly). Liked that the kitchen/lounge area was upstairs to take advantage of the view. Loved the window seat and the outdoor shower was very handy after being at the beach. Proximity to the beach was great too. Responsive comms throughout with the host. Otama Bay is such a special place, we all enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

We had a great stay! Tina was a great host, very available to answer any questions and very proactive. The place has a beautiful view. We would definitely come back !

Julie was a great host! Her home is literally on the beachfront so great to place to go for a quick swim and picnic right outside from your stay. Child friendly as well - my toddler enjoyed all the toys available for the beach. Large bedrooma with two facing the beach front for amazing views and waking up to the sound of the waves. Large kitchen with all amenities found. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will hopefully be back sometime soon!

Found a gem at one of the most beautiful beaches we've ever seen (and we've traveled a lot)! Wide bay, gorgeous vegetation, hills, and perfect blue water - everything you'd expect from New Zealand's best. The soft white sand is just steps away (2-min walk). The house is an architectural standout with thoughtful design. Multiple terraces for different times of day, with the covered garden area being our favorite spot for working and barbecues. The beds are totally comfy which is an important plus, also everything was spotless clean - something we unfortunately don't get from every house we rent through Airbnb. You can tell this is a loved home - everything you need is available, from cutlery to glasses. No shortages here! An unforgettable experience we'd definitely repeat if given the chance. Thank you!

This house is stunning! We had a family holiday here over Easter, to create memories together before some of us move overseas and it was just perfect. It had enough space that we could all relax without feeling on top of each other, amenities that made us so comfortable (shout out to the coffee machine!), beautifully comfortable beds and linen and set in such a peaceful spot. We couldnt recommend this stay more for those needing a bit of space, a touch of luxury and a home that’s well suited for all ages! Toddler friendly, teen friendly, grandparent friendly! 🩷

The most magnificent house with the most beautiful view. There is so much to see and do. The house is well equipped with everything you will need. We enjoyed the boat tour and the hot beach where you dig a hole in the sand and make your own little pool of hot water. Friendly people all over town. Had a wonderful time!

Eileen’s house at Opito Bay is fabulous!! absolutely stunning location right on the beach at the south end. The house is very spacious, especially the kitchen lounge dining area which is all open plan. Great also to have the sleep out if you have a couple of extra people with its own toilet, and amazing outdoor shower amongst the trees, well you can take a shower and look at the view, idyllic ! Big covered out outdoor deck on the backside of the house which is gives options if the weather is not good. The house is very modern and immaculate. Will definitely be back!!

The sea facing view from the property was awesome. The host was very supportive and responsive. It had everything which a family with kids want. Loved the amazing collection of music cd’s and family games to play with kids. I really loved this place and want to recommend for families.

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

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.
