Guesthouse vacation rentals in Te Ika-a-Māui / North Island

Just loved waking up to the beautiful view in quiet surroundings, and watching the birds enjoy the bird feeder. Lots of space to sit quietly. Perfect after a busy day in the city.

My wife and I had a lovely and relaxing stay at the Post Office Cottage. The cottage and surrounds is charming and peaceful to spend time in, and within easy proximity to attractions in the Taranaki area. Thanks for having us!

We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful and peaceful place to stay, we absolutely loved our visit and would have stayed for a week if we could! We were made to feel at home straight away with such kindness, nothing was too much trouble. 100% recommended!

We had a fantastic couple of days staying at Kathy and Bryon’s. The food that was provided was very much appreciated and the place was clean and tidy as it looked in the pictures. You are only a couple of minutes walk from the beach and the local cafe which is very good. We would happily stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was cosy and charming, had a lovely view of the bush and hills. A great little getaway.

Chris was a lovely host, the unit is compact and comfortable and has all of your basic amenities. My kids loved the spa pool, nothing better than unwinding in a hot tub after a long day of sightseeing! would definitely love to come back and stay in the future, maybe our next visit to hobbiton.

Really nice views, found the surrounding area great to be in too. Really cute town

The place was very comfortable and peaceful. I loved that I could see Lake Taupō from the house and watch beautiful sunsets in the evening. The host was very friendly and helpful, which made my stay even more enjoyable. I really enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Absolutely gorgeous place! We loved our stay here and cannot recommend it enough, we would happily come back and have already sent to link to friends to stay here. Very private, and the outdoor bath was a perfect way to defrost after doing a night time kayak tour. Bed is super comfy too! All the little extras were such a nice touch.

The house was spotless and beautiful, with a well stocked kitchen and private deck. The cheese platter the host left was a lovely surprise. Would definitely recommend this house for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!

Enjoyed my night at Nicole’s place, had everything I needed for one night and was comfortable and clean and super cute! Easy to find and lovely private spot. Nicole responded quickly when I had questions. Would stay again!

Forli Cottage exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect place to get away from the city and relax. It was peaceful, private and so many thoughtful touches made us feel right at home. We are already planning our next visit! Thank you very much for having us.

This is simply a gorgeous BnB. It’s in a beautiful location, pleasantly furnished, spotlessly clean and just about perfect in every way. The king bed is super comfortable too. There are wonderful views from the large bedroom and living room windows and the whole setting exudes peace and tranquility. Jude is a kind and thoughtful host and I cannot recommend this lovely place highly enough.

Beautiful place, decor is lovely. Really comfortable place to stay. Sarah was easy to communicate with, we hope to stay again.

Sophie’s place is beautiful and peaceful, we loved the outlook and waking to birds every morning. It felt like you were in the country. The Little Shoehorn is warm & cosy with everything you need, we had a wonderful, relaxing weekend and definitely book again. Thank you Sophie.

Great place to stay with a perfect view, nice and private. Friendly host and amazing landscaping (and lawn)

Had a lovely stay at Warren’s cosy place. Had old school batch vibes with a lovely view and all the amenities you’d need. Great peaceful location but still close to town! Thank you for the choccy fish 🐠🐠🐠

We really enjoyed our stay at Karen’s. It was exactly what we needed to wind down. Although the kitchenette was small, we still managed to cook a pasta dish and also a delicious breakfast. The view from bed in the morning was lovely. It was the perfect location for us to do what we needed in Tauranga and out at the family’s farm near Kati

We had a fantastic four night stay at Joanne's place. Even though the weather was cold, we felt very comfortable in the house. Joanne was very welcoming host who prepared the house to the highest standard. The house is located in a very peaceful part of Kerikeri but still close to the main attractions. We would highly recommend Joanne's place to others and would love to come back. Thank you for a perfect stay.

Our stay was amazing. So peaceful and rejuvenating. This place is perfectly situated to visit the surrending. The view from the house is stunning and the access to the lake is very special. I'll probably come back ✨

Perfect, luxurious, well-appointed studio in what is obviously one of the most beautiful places on earth. Very private and feels secluded but is a quick drive to Cambridge which has great cafes and even better pastries. We stayed here as a base for travel to Hobbiton, Rotorua and Taupo (a two hour drive but worth it) and highly recommend the back roads - the scenery is amazing. The studio itself has everything you need, the amenities are modern and high end and the bedding is so comfortable. We struggled to leave the comfort every morning, especially with the rain. Highly recommend staying here.

We had a great stay here - the place has everything you need plus some additional things like snacks which was really welcoming. It felt private, and we had a great view of the maunga.

A wonderful peaceful place to stay with gorgeous views out over the lake. Bryony and Steve were friendly, quick to respond, and made sure the place was warm for our arrival. Would recommend to all

Amazing house and perfect location. Great for a relaxing holiday by the beach. Bear lots of cool tracks to walk. Thanks so much for having us Amanda will definitely be back!
