Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Mercury Bay

Bob and Jess has a beautiful house with an amazing view that you can wake up too. House was so cozy and warm and then as hosts were so helpful whenever I needed to ask them something. The house was clean and had even extra things that we forgot to bring so that was super amazing. 10/10 recommend this place. Will definitely come back again

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 !

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!

A beautiful, modern, lakefront home. We loved our stay and we must say the bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable!

Sharon was a friendly, informative host from the outset. The privacy of her place along with its amenities were perfect for our situation. We would not look to book elsewhere if in Whangamata again.

We would definitely stay here again (although this was a splurge for us). The surrounding nature was outstanding with a huge yard, trees, birds, stars- the kids had a ball running around and making fairy houses. The sunrise was gorgeous. Inside the house had everything we needed including comfortable and clean beds, linens, showers. The house is so well situated to enjoy the surroundings. It was easy to get to hot water beach and the beautiful walk to cathedral cove. For future guests, consider arriving in daylight and check directions as there are some steep driveways in the area and googlemaps led us up a wrong super steep driveway nearby- so check specific instructions from host- they were there, we just forgot to check ahead of time as Google maps has been good in NZ. Also, the mountain roads to get across the Coromandel Peninsula are very curved and were a little tough for us in the dark. It was still very much worth it for us, and we hope to visit again with more time there.

A uber beautiful and remote stay. We felt isolated in all the right ways. Gorgeous being in the midst of nature with some beautiful beaches for dipping/walking on nearby. Thanks Paul!

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.
