Vacation home rentals in North Island

If you’re ever in Taupo, stay here! The apartment is pristine and has a gorgeous view of Lake Taupo. Vicky was very accommodating and allowed us to check in early. The beds were so comfortable and there was plenty of space. My only regret is that we didn’t get to spend more time there as we were in Taupo for business. Absolutely recommend!

Kiwiana at its finest a Bach at the beach comfortable made me want to move back to NZ

I loved staying here so much. So beautiful, right on the beach, can't ask for better than that. The view from the deck and inside was so nice. You can hear the waves inside the unit. The cable bay store is very close. Such a lovely place in the far north. I would love to stay here again.

We had a lovely stay. Beautiful setting. Loved the updated bathroom although rest of the unit had the Kiwi bach feel. Washing machine was helpful to have in the unit.

Great location and had everything we needed. Ian was friendly and helpful. We had an issue with the washing machine and he sent someone out straight away. Would come back for our next stay.

Great stay at James house. Beautiful view. Plenty of sleeping arrangements.

Susan’s place was absolutely perfect for us. The location and beautiful, peaceful gardens surrounding the apartment were just stunning. We had the most amazing time and plenty of much needed rest. Thank you so much Susan. We have recommended Nikau apartments to all our friends and family.

This was the perfect weekend get away for us and our spoodle. The apartment is well presented and in a peacful location . Aprilanne and William are great hosts. They have thought of every detail to make your stay enjoyable, freshly baked bread, home made yogurt and fresh eggs. If you like walking, bird watching and fabulous views then this is the place for you.

Had everything we needed, close trot to the beach with tide pools to look at the starfish. Kids had a great time. Fantastic beaches within a half hour drive or less.

We had the most relaxing wonderful stay. Loved the setting and easy walk along the stream to the ocean. The house is gorgeous. The decorating ideas and detail are awesome. We will be back!

Thanks Susan, we really enjoyed our stay. Your place is a fantastic location- nice and easy walk to beach, and we liked the comfortable vibe your place has.

Cosy and stylish, a lovely wee spot for a girls weekend.

We had a fantastic stay in the penthouse. The balcony is a rare feature in this area. An absolutely incredible collection of art and furniture fills the space with curiosity and wonder. Our host was extremely helpful and always available on the phone at the drop of a hat.

We had such a lovely stay at this scenic little Airbnb in Spring Creek, Blenheim. It’s tucked away in a peaceful spot with beautiful gardens all around – the perfect place to relax. The space felt very secure and private, though we were always warmly greeted by the hosts' adorable dogs who came bouncing up to say hello – such a lovely welcome every time. We booked very last minute, on the same day, and Matt and Anna were incredibly accommodating – they had the place ready for us within just a few hours and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. They were very proactive hosts, friendly and happy to help with any questions or issues. The location is super convenient too – just a short walk to the local Four Square and only a quick drive into Blenheim. The bed was really comfy, and we loved having a kitchen to cook in. All in all, a cosy, welcoming place to stay – highly recommend! ChatGPT

Great location.

We had a unique and truly lovely kiwi time at Rhoderick’s spectacularly-located bach. The view, as advertised, is beautiful and the accommodation is well-equipped and comfortable. There were also much-appreciated extras like a continental breakfast provided despite the recent (one day earlier) cyclone. Rhod is a wonderful host who truly seems to enjoy engaging with his guests and helping them have the best experience they can. Thank you Rhod!

My family took a 14 day road trip through NZ and this was one of our favorite accommodations! Very tidy house with a great layout. Comfortable beds with nice quality linens and spacious bathrooms. Kitchen included some thoughtful additional food supplies. The very best part was the access to the beach, which was everything I dreamed it would be and more for our nature-loving family.

Great location and the place was like new. Excellent, comfortable place to stay.

Lovely peaceful house perfectly placed to the bike trails that we were there for and also not far from the city centre. Kitchen was really well equipped and the beds comfortable.

We enjoyed our short stay. Had everything we needed to get through the rainy weather. Definitely recommend it to others who want a sweet romantic stay. Home cinema was our highlight!

We found this place last minute as our plans changed unexpectedly. It was amazing! Such a great location and a beautiful home.

excellent Place; private, spacious and homely. close to areas with lots of activities.

Beautiful place to stay and spend your weekend and Anna is great host.

Don's place was perfect for our family stay. There were 15 of us in total, with seven children ranging from 3 to 16 in age. The house had plenty of room inside and out and we made good use of the BBQ and decking dining table. We particularly appreciated that each of the four families had their own bathroom and toilet. The only minor issue was that the bunkroom bunks have little headspace (which Don mentioned in advance), which wasn't ideal for the older children. Don is an excellent host, very welcoming, and easily contactable. If the opportunity arises, we would certainly wish to return.
