House vacation rentals in Pōhara

It was a challenge to find a place that would fit our close family of 16 (adults and late teenagers) to celebrate the wedding of our daughter, but I am so pleased that we found Bay Ridge. We had a fantastic time , loved the gardens , the views and heaps of space. The short and scenic drive to Kaiteriteri beach was so easy as well as the walk to the delightful split apple rock and beach. It was such a pity that due to travel / arrangements we could not stay longer. Highly recommend the place and again thanx to Annie who is a fantastic host.

Stunning views, every minute in this beautiful building was amazing! The location is close to Split Apple rock, which was a cool mini hike. The Abel Tasman tour booths and pick up are less than a 15 minute drive away to book a trip out into the national park. There are penguins that come up to the property at night that are hilarious to listen to, we went to an aquarium a few days later and found a stuffed animal that sounded so similar that between our group we ended up getting three of these stuffies throughout the trip just because we'd heard them at this location and it was such a good memory to have made. I Wish we could have stayed longer. Hope we get the chance to again someday!

We had an idyllic two weeks here, exploring on foot, by car, and rented e-bikes. Easy access to a great network of bike trails (the Great Taste Trail). An easy walk to 2 brewpubs and other restaurants and an excellent Thai massage location. Go east to Havelock for mussels or west to Abel Tasman NP for a Waka paddle or beach time. Back home we would relax in the private hot tub, enjoy the TV and cook in the well stocked kitchen. The accommodation was spotless, with a comfortable bed and everything we needed for a relaxing time. The host was always responsive and provided lots os suggestions for sights, shopping and restaurants.

This property is everything one could ask for. The house is spacious which allows for privacy for all party members. It is an old house with a unique feeling one can appreciate. The house is very well equipped and the garden is spectacular. The view is breathtaking one does not want to leave the house! The host is lovely, very responsive and helpful! We would stay longer if we could . Very highly recommended!

Wonderful stay at Matt and Lucy's. the home was well appointed with everything we needed. the pool and the spa was very good and we felt super relaxed and comfortable here. would happily recommend.

A wonderful home in a beautiful location with stunning views. We particularly enjoyed the pool, spa and being able to walk to amazing restaurants and wine bar. Sally and Wayne were friendly helpful hosts. Highly recommend staying

It's a beautiful property and I would love to come again. I have left my shoes behind and Karla help me to.get it back.😊 Appreciate.

On arrival the bach was unfortunately not ready for us, but this was due to an oversight by the cleaner, not Emma. Emma was super quick to respond and very apologetic when we messaged about it and couldn't have been more prompt in getting things resolved which we really appreciated. After this initial blip we loved our four night stay here. The bach feels like the best of both worlds - an old family bach and the charm that comes with that, made even better with significant modernising updates like the massive glass doors, and all the other mod cons and extras (big fridge, dishwasher, washer and dryer, heatpump/AC, Chromecast, etc). It is off the beaten track and feels so peaceful and private. Being so close to the sea is a real treat. We would love to come back some time in the warmer months so we can make the most of the amazing outdoor areas and pool! (just a bit too chilly for us softies to swim in it at this time of year... we did love the outdoor fireplace though!). :)

Paul’s house and setting matched our expectations from the listing. It was very clean, tidy, spacious, warm and nicely furnished. The lounge, dining and kitchen area looked out across the garden to the beach. Unfortunately it rained for most of our short stay so we didn’t take as much advantage of the outdoor setting and facilities as we might have otherwise done. Despite that our party of 4 adults and 3 children all enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very welcoming and were quick to answer any queries we had.

We loved our stay at Hiromi’s Airbnb. Super close to shops and the beach, and in a beautiful spot to enjoy the view over the top of the church. We had plenty of space for our small family, including baby and dog. Highly recommend!

Luxury accommodation at a great price! The suite was stunning and had magnificent views. Sue did a great job putting the place together and making it so lovely! If we are ever back in the area we would certainly stay again!

We had a wonderful stay. The house and property had a beautiful feel to it and it was very peaceful. Would stay again.

Amazing house in Glenduan. Beautifully decorated old Villa, nice and cosy with the warm fireplace and an amazing view. Very thoughtful host offering hot water bottles on a cold evening and very good communication. would definitely come back to stay here again.

Caroline’s home is spectacular for so many reasons! She has a beautiful home inside and out and the decor was top notch! Caroline was a very gracious and welcoming host … will definitley be back!!! Thank you Caroline we truly appreciate you!

Wonderful place and great house! We felt home right away. Unfortunately we had a couple of rainy days so we were really happy that we had the whole house to ourselves. The nice big and we'll equipped kitchen and the comfy living room let us enjoy our time despite the rain outside. We were welcomed with a well stocked fridge! Beverage, cheese and cracker plate, butter, jams and honey, eggs, homemade bread and more. We loved it!

Stunningly beautiful location. If you want to be away from hustle and bustle it’s perfect. Close to some amazing locations in the area and the National Park. Great for a family get together lots of space and well kitted out with board games for the evenings.

It was a lovely stay. Lovely home that was very peaceful and relaxing. Decor was amazing and nice and close to the beach

We really enjoyed our stay. There were other people on the property but far enough away it still felt like we had plenty of our own space. We were a little confused when we booked if it was two actual bedrooms or not, but it isn’t which we clarified before we came. If part of your group is happy on a bed in the lounge or in a tent next to the house then this is a good option for your holiday. There is a lovely covered outdoor area which is where we spent most of our time when home. The kitchen was well stocked with cook and bake ware and when we didn’t have the basic pantry items we needed, Shanti sorted that for us. We fed the chickens and enjoyed some lovely fresh eggs. Location worked well for us, close to Takaka. Walking distance to Pohara beach and short drive to other lovely beaches.

A lovely, warm and sunny place to stay. Ideal for us as we needed to be close to the hospital, otherwise it was just a short stroll to town or drive to the beach. Caroline & Gareth were amazing hosts.

Jamie was a wonderful host. She was very informative it was always available if we had any questions. We absolutely loved this place. We had kids with us that loved the chickens and enjoy the patio out back. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed for our stay. very impressed! For us in New Zealand this has been our favorite place to stay! would definitely recommend!

Amanda’s place is amazing ! Really well equipped , spacious and comfortable. An easy walk to beautiful Kaiteriteri beach. Would love to stay again ! Thanks

Our 2 families had a wonderful stay at Marina's. We would highly recommend it and hope to be able to stay there again.

Stunning views, wonderful stay, too short, and was too fast! Waking up to the view was divine. Daniella was such a kind and amazing host. The space was clean, light, bright and so cosy, and we felt right at home. We had a great stay, and didnt want to leave, we will be back in the summer. Thank you so much Daniella for your lovely communication too. Francesca and Alex x

Samara’s place was beautiful with a gorgeous view and patio overlooking the coast. It was clean and had great instructions for everything. I loved the hike into town.
