Butlers Central
Lovely place to unwind - quiet except for the welcoming chirping of the birds in the morning. close to restaurant and beach. the hosts are lovely people, made us feel at home

The BeachHouse
Gayle's place is in a fantastic location, nice little beach for the kids to play. Overlooks the ocean. Well thought out for amenities including games, puzzles, even a bucket of lego for kids. Good bedrooms and lounge area with everything you could need. No hesitation to stay here again if passing through, very peaceful and relaxing and Bell Block has a handful of shops including The Warehouse and a small supermarket, restaurants and cafes.

Beach Bach on Shearer
Special little batch where our whanau felt welcome and had such a lovely week attending Matatini and able to escape a recharge at this wonderful batch. Denise and husband were welcoming and so very friendly. Grantee a great peaceful place with family. Nga Mihi!

Beachfront Dune House
After a big day driving coming to the end of the road to discover this humble and homely surf shack right in the dunes was sublime. Incredible setting and views with serenity and time to unwind. The home is gorgeous, tastefully decorated and had that something special with high quality additions including smart TV, sound system and New Zealand made pottery. The artwork and books hint at the property and its owner's passion and connection to the area's true history. The surfing map and incredible images of the mountain were perfect. Could not be more grateful for the stay 🙏🏼

Haven on York
We had a lovely stay! The Airbnb was absolutely immaculate and had everything you could possibly need and more. So many lovely touches throughout the place.

"Te Whare" Sunny Guesthouse - Oakura Beach.
Tranquil location, well equipped, value for money. Only 5mins to oakura, 20min to NP, very peaceful with everything you’d need to a relaxing get away or a base to see Taranaki sights. Close to sea. Lots of thoughtful extra touches. Megan and her husband were friendly and helpful with any requests

Poolside paradise
Edwin’s place does not disappoint. The hosts are friendly and helpful. I did some laundry and they helped me out by putting my clothes in the hamper, as I was out all day. Cool bengal cat hung out with me on arrival as well.

Break 3-three of the best surf breaks on H/Way 45
Donna was a wonderful host. The Bach was exactly as described, and it was delightful to be greeted by a fire, even though we arrived quite late. The house had everything we needed for a relaxing country stay, including great linen and towels, lovely plush beds, and a wonderful shower. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the essentials for preparing delicious meals while enjoying the ocean view. I would recommend this property.

Your guide to Ōakura
All About Ōakura
The seaside village of Ōakura sits on the western side of the North Island between the North Taranaki Bight and the magnificent peak of Mount Taranaki. Locals call this part of the coast the Surf Highway, and the giant surfboard on the main street is another clue about why a lot of visitors come here, but Ōakura is also a creative community, home to many artists and craftspeople.
Luxury glass-fronted beach houses sit alongside surf shops and food trucks in this laid-back village with dramatic black-sand beaches, where you can sip a latte at a family-owned cafe before taking a bracing walk. Fishing is popular in the area, both surfcasting and fly fishing for brown and rainbow trout in the Ōakura River. There’s even a rusted early-20th-century shipwreck — the remains of the SS Gairloch — to explore a couple of miles west.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Ōakura
Ōakura has a warm, temperate climate with quite a lot of rain throughout the year. The warmest, driest month is February, when New Zealand basks in summer weather. The coldest and wettest time of year is midwinter, in June and July. The Ōakura Arts Trail has grown into a big event since it started in 2003: during the last weekend of October and the first weekend of November, you can tour the studios of local potters, jewelers, sculptors, and painters. You can also follow a self-guided trail of the studios, which are open all year round.
Top things to do in Ōakura
Lucy’s Gully
Buy supplies for a picnic in Ōakura and make the 20-minute drive to Lucy’s Gully, a serene nature reserve among towering redwoods in the Kaitake Ranges. A highly respected Māori woman named Ruhira Matekai (also known as Lucy Stevens) was born here in 1820 and lived and gardened here throughout her life. Lucy’s Gully is also the starting point for the Sefton Track walking trail, which takes around three hours and links to the longer Waimoku Track.
Egmont National Park
Ōakura is a great base for exploring Egmont National Park, which spans more than 200 square miles of stunning mountain scenery, subalpine forest, and waterfalls and offers a wide range of walking paths. Take the boardwalk Mangorei Track to the reflective lake for fabulous views of Mount Taranaki, or walk to Henry Peak Lookout through a landscape of alpine tussock. Another easy path is the 30-minute Kamahi Loop, which includes a forest of gnarled kāmahi trees draped with moss and ferns.
Te Koru Pā
Te Koru Pā is one of the few Māori fortified village sites in New Zealand where you can still clearly see the remains of stone defensive walls and food storage pits. This centuries-old site is a great place to learn about Māori history. You can walk to the site in around 15 minutes on a path that crosses fields leading to the river, and you will soon be surrounded by native forest and birdsong.
