LeighRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We absolutely loved our stay! A beautiful home for our family holiday it was spacious and well equipped. The location is amazing, plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors and all the native birds but also a nice easy walk down to the beach for a swim and the many cafes. A quick drive to some of the best vineyards and breweries too! The views were incredible! We felt right at home and would have loved to stay longer, thank you for having us! From the Alderson whanau

Mission Bay, Auckland 2 Bed Villa Pool Spa Sauna

LindsayRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We had a three night stay at Malina's house and it was a fantastic experience. The location was perfect and within 5 min walk to the main Mission Bay bars and restaurants. Malina and Rod were both highly responsive and provided suggestions and also helped rescue us by lending us two international adapters for our devices. The house is beautiful and as shown in the photos. Modern and clean and the standout has to be the pool, sauna and jacuzzi. Our kids spent every afternoon in the pool area and loved it all. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in the Mission Bay area.

Te Rakau Cottage

KristenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I had such a great experience at Linda and Al's place! They offered free upgrade from unit downstairs to upstairs lodge, it was clean and cozy, with all the essentials we needed. The location was perfect—super close to Orewa shops, which made it easy to get around. Linda and Al was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making sure we had everything we needed and even offered us late check out. I’d definitely stay here again on my next trip! Thanks for such a memorable stay! :)

Beachfront Sunset Bach

OrsonRating, 5 stars1 month ago
we've stayed at 6 bachs in Piha now, and this is the best. not cheap, but you get what you pay for. great facilities, great decor and lots of nice touches and location is unbeatable with views over the beach. one thing is that the upstairs and downstairs are 2 separate units both with their own bathrooms and kitchens. this would be great for 2 couples, one with a kid or two, but the levels are not internally connected. we just had it for the two of us and never went to the lower level.

Your guide to Parakai

All About Parakai

Nestled around a bend of the mighty Kaipara River, the village of Parakai is close to the city of Auckland in the midst of northern New Zealand’s beautiful natural landscapes. The community lies in fertile farmland only a few miles from the coast,

where amid green open spaces, you can soak in the hot therapeutic waters of the Kaipātiki Reserve’s geothermal pools or explore the Gibbs Farm sculpture garden featuring work by renowned artists from around the world. You can also go boating or kayaking on the river and hit the trails of the Woodhill Mountain Bike Park. Within a short drive, the wine-growing region between Parakai and Auckland opens its cellar doors for tastings, while scenic gourmet restaurants serve seasonal dishes with suggested wine pairings.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Parakai

The northern part of New Zealand’s North Island enjoys a mild subtropical climate, with temperatures rarely dipping towards freezing, even in winter (June through August). The cooler months can be wet, so pack a waterproof jacket for any downpours. December to March are the hottest summer months in the Southern Hemisphere, but the weather is often pleasant for outdoor activities throughout fall and spring.


Top things to do in Parakai

Geothermal Hot Pools

New Zealand is rich in geothermal activity, and swimming in the hot mineral pools at Parakai Springs has been popular for centuries. The local Māori tribe knew of the benefits of soaking in the waters, and in the 1920s and 30s, the area became a spa destination. You’ll find a large outdoor hot pool, an indoor pool (heated to 104 degrees Fahrenheit), and several waterslides. You can bring a picnic or hire a gas BBQ on the extensive grounds or grab a bite to eat at the cafe.

Kaipara Coast Sculpture Gardens

Located less than 20 minutes from the village, this peaceful spot hosts a roster of more than 40 rotating sculptures, shining a spotlight on some of the country’s leading artists. The one-hour sculpture trail weaves its way past fruit trees and through native forest, offering views of Kaipara Harbour.

Omeru Scenic Reserve

Just off the Kaipara Coast Highway, less than a half-hour’s drive away, Omeru Pā Scenic Reserve features a lush lawned space with picnic benches, where you can refuel after following the towering kauri trees to fern-framed Omeru Falls. The pool beneath this secluded cascade is a popular place for swimming on summer days.
