Boutique hotel vacation rentals in North Island

I LOOOVE this!!! The unit is spacious, VERY clean, and a great location with wonderful views! I would have loved to stay for one more day just to relax in the unit as it’s incredible, has everything needed!

I cannot review The Roost as we did not actually stay there. There was an issue with the accommodation we booked and we could not stay there. But, Linda was kind enough to make alternate arrangements for us. For what is worth, the alternate accommodation was fantastic; sparking clean and spacious.

If you ever get the chance, seize it with both hands and stay at Simon’s place! The location is exceptional, every detail is thought out, its stylish with beautiful art, lovely furnishings and at the same time is completely comfortable. Simon is very welcoming, space abounds and poochies are welcome (with prior arrangements). Truly, I couldn’t recommend it highly enough and will be back there very soon! Thanks Simon, M

We found it the best place we’ve stayed in New Zealand. Access to the sauna,beach,pool table and hot tubs makes this place perfect to relax. The photos don’t do this place justice !! Simon is a very chilled host and makes the place even better to stay.

We arrived at Ghost Lodge after a few long days of riding. We had booked the beach side hot tub to soak our weary bones that evening. Simon met us and showed us around, it is the perfect spot and has been renovated to perfection, down to every detail. Plenty of spaces to chill,relax or chat with other guests. A fabulous beach setting, a well designed and equipped kitchen, and a lovely bathroom. Safe parking for motorbikes even chain wax on hand if required! Highly recommend staying here and a soak in the hot tub, we saw heaps of stars and satellites (including the star link) it’s still warm enough for a bath in the morning watching the sunrise - perfect start to the day. A gorgeous place all round.

Highly recommend the roost. Great rooms, living space, outdoor area. Everything was provided breakfast, toiletries and linen. Good location easy walk to supermarket and nice drive to Awhitu Regional Park.

Linda was very welcoming upon meeting! The ensuite was lovely, clean & had all the necessities that you needed! It was a short stay however it was a really good stay! Lovely accomodation! Definitely recommend!!

Great group accomodation which provides sufficient space to either socialise or be independent. Lovely amenities and garden on the sea. Highly recommend.

Great layout and functional space for a family of 5. New, modern facilities. Thanks for having us!

What a wonderful host. Very accommodating, flexible, and friendly. Such a great way to start our trip. Close walk to restaurants, cafeś, and the beach! Such a great location! Great stay!

Great host was super helpful and flexible, Great location as close to everything

Staff had a great stay at the airbnb and the owner allowed pets which was great. - not bad feedback about the place from the staff member. Please make it more clear about the cost of pets as we booked 2 nights with a pet, but this only included a charge for 1 of the nights so was abit confusing. Thanks for having them stay!

This was such a beautiful, cozy, peaceful place to stay. We loved waking up to the surroundings and fresh breakfast every morning. Our doggo was also treated like a princess and had lots of space to run around and play ball then take a nap on the deck. Super convenient location that had lots of privacy, everything you need they’ve thought of! My partner loved the pool table and games room. I’m currently pregnant and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud! Can’t thank Lisa and her husband enough for having us and going above and beyond. Lots of love, thought and effort has gone into this place and it shows. Will be back ✨

Overall I really enjoyed staying here. It was well worth the cost paid, central to amenities, modern. Absolutely loved the shower! Would stay again, highly recommended

Great location, close to buses and walkable to the supermarket, some bars, etc. House was very tidy and comfortable. Our host was responsive and kind. Recommend for sure!

A standard motel unit in the Bella Vista at Evans Bay. Convenient for airport and city with 10 minute Uber in either direction. Clean, tidy, easy parking.
