Beachfront vacation rentals in Pongakawa

Highly recommend this airbnb. The location was perfect being close to the beach the Mt and restaurants. Being dog friendly was great as well. We would stay again!

Such a magical spot right on the beach. A real kiwi bach vibe. Loved our stay in Pukehina. Vicki was a great host.

we stayed with our fur babies and we were so at home ,we wished we could have extended our stay, will definitely stay again when we come up from Dunedin to see our families

thanks Fiona, we loved our stay and would love to come back. such a great location . 10/10

Stellas house was an amazing place to stay. Across the road from the beach, can see the water, walking distance to shops. Great house and fantastic location..

Rochelle and Mark are great hosts. They live right next door but you wouldnt know they are there. Very responsive if you need them but very respectful of your space. Great balcony upstairs to soak up the last of the autumn rays and get on with a bit of admin with good wifi. Really long walks on a lovely empty beach within minutes away. Cats came to say hello but you wouldnt know there is a dog next door, so well behaved. A nice stay in a nice area. Would recommend.

A fabulous little sanctuary so close to the beach. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t quite what we hoped, but that didn’t really matter as the place was so comfortable with great sofas a large Smart TV and fast Wi-Fi. The fully fenced garden made it a dream for our little fur baby, who loved zooming around the grass. The kitchen is well stocked with good quality pans and crockery and the plumbed fridge freezer with ice maker was great for G&T time! Really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

Lovely hosts...amazing location close to beach and cafes etc.. All we needed for a beachy holiday vibe in this gorgeous well-appointed and spacious studio appartment...Plus dog friendly..WOW! What`s not to love! Would book again for sure! Thanks heaps. Sonja and Frank..and Tilly

I had a great stay at this Airbnb in Papamoa! The property was well-equipped for a comfortable stay. Its location was perfect—close to great cafes and shops. The hosts were friendly and responsive, adding thoughtful touches that made my stay even better. The outdoor area was a great place to unwind, and overall, it was the perfect getaway. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be back!

We had the most wonderful stay at Lisa & Rob’s and highly recommend!! Location is perfect - right across from the beach and short walk to cafe’s & shops. The apartment is spacious, modern, super clean and great amenities. Communication was excellent and cannot wait to stay again. Thank you for having us! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Awesome little apartment. Kids loved the pool and spa. Really close to the beach. Had everything we needed for our family, will definitely be back. Cloe was supper accommodating and helped us immensely.

Thank you Karen and David for being the perfect hosts. We look forward to staying with you again next time we are in Tauranga.

Amazing few days spent at a gorgeous place. The home was beautiful and had everything we needed. Great location and family friendly.

Great place for our family long weekend away. Everyone enjoyed, including the dogs with the beach just across the road/reserve. “Beautiful Papamoa Beach”. Supermarket and some local shops all very handy. Great size kitchen and bathrooms. Everything we needed was there and Sara replied promptly in all communications. Attention to detail was great. Thank you Sara

We loved the space, the pool and spa. The lift was a great help for us older ones. A great place to stay. Thank you.

Was a last minute booking, only a couple of days before. Barry responded very quickly to confirm. The Villa was great. Full kitchen, lovely balcony and excellent location. Will definitely book again!

What a beautiful place to stay! So perfectly decorated and everything that is needed was available. We were 100% pleased with this place. And we hope to return someday!

Beautiful spacious & modern house, very close to Omanu Beach. Perfect for 3 couples and a short walk to local cafes and Baywave Aquatic Centre. Host was friendly & helpful. Recommend!

Easy check in, great place to stay and close to shops and restaurants - super clean! Great stay overall!

All I can say is what an amazing fully equipped house. We enjoyed our time spent here but most of all it wasn’t long enough. Thanks again😊

Great place to stay on the water with a great view of the river. The unit was spotless and couldn't be faulted. There is an omission from the website as the unit does come with a washer AND dryer (not always easy to find) which we found fantastic having spent time elsewhere beforehand. Both Bronwyn and Kathie were great to talk to and informative on the area and things to do. Definitely recommend our unit (B) which was was upstairs.

We stayed at Wades place over the xmas and new year period. The bach had enough space for us to host a Christmas day for our large family, not to mention the beach directly across the road where swimming was patrolled daily. The view of the beach and surrounding islands, sunsets and sunrises from the upstairs level is absolutely amazing. The house is clean and tidy and is well equipped with everything you would need. Wade is amazing to deal with and very accommodating to special requests. If you want a good kiwi holiday by the beach, this is the place to do it!! I will definitely stay here again.

Katy was extremely responsive in the lead up to my stay, and helpful during. The accommodation was perfect, very homely and exactly as described in the listing. Location is perfect for beach access, and close to local shops. Would happily return. Thanks Katy!

Mathew was a friendly and an excellent host with great communication. The apartment well exceeded our expectations and was very clean, tidy and warm.
