Vacation home rentals in Te Ika-a-Māui / North Island

If you’re ever in Taupo, stay here! The apartment is pristine and has a gorgeous view of Lake Taupo. Vicky was very accommodating and allowed us to check in early. The beds were so comfortable and there was plenty of space. My only regret is that we didn’t get to spend more time there as we were in Taupo for business. Absolutely recommend!

Kiwiana at its finest a Bach at the beach comfortable made me want to move back to NZ

I loved staying here so much. So beautiful, right on the beach, can't ask for better than that. The view from the deck and inside was so nice. You can hear the waves inside the unit. The cable bay store is very close. Such a lovely place in the far north. I would love to stay here again.

We had a lovely stay. Beautiful setting. Loved the updated bathroom although rest of the unit had the Kiwi bach feel. Washing machine was helpful to have in the unit.

Great location and had everything we needed. Ian was friendly and helpful. We had an issue with the washing machine and he sent someone out straight away. Would come back for our next stay.

Great stay at James house. Beautiful view. Plenty of sleeping arrangements.

Susan’s place was absolutely perfect for us. The location and beautiful, peaceful gardens surrounding the apartment were just stunning. We had the most amazing time and plenty of much needed rest. Thank you so much Susan. We have recommended Nikau apartments to all our friends and family.

This was the perfect weekend get away for us and our spoodle. The apartment is well presented and in a peacful location . Aprilanne and William are great hosts. They have thought of every detail to make your stay enjoyable, freshly baked bread, home made yogurt and fresh eggs. If you like walking, bird watching and fabulous views then this is the place for you.

Had everything we needed, close trot to the beach with tide pools to look at the starfish. Kids had a great time. Fantastic beaches within a half hour drive or less.

We had the most relaxing wonderful stay. Loved the setting and easy walk along the stream to the ocean. The house is gorgeous. The decorating ideas and detail are awesome. We will be back!

Cosy and stylish, a lovely wee spot for a girls weekend.

Perfect location, lovely and clean. Excellent hosts. Highly recommend

Great location.

We really enjoyed our stay at harakeke villa. The surroundings were just what we needed to relax and unwind. The Airbnb was clean and more than welcoming for us. The bed comfy and the mountain views from our room amazing. Im glad there was no wifi , so we could take a break from all the netflix browsing. We did the kanuka trail walk thats on their property and it felt so satisfying. Sheryn was kind to give us a pedestal fan to use as it helped us sleep better in the night. We are glad we chose Ngunguru for our anniversary getaway and a stay in a beautiful serene slice of paradise. Thank you Sheryn for hosting us and making it special.

Gracious host and exceptional AirB&B — accessible, warm, spacious, has all the amenities for a very comfortable stay in a scenic location, yet an easy short drive to West Auckland and the city. I would definitely come back and stay here again, and without hesitation recommend it to others.

Thank you Chrissy and Steve for the most special weekend stay in your perfect little beachside cabin. Lovely to be provided with everything we needed and more. We were warm and cosy and its was such a delight to spend so much time gazing out at the ocean. Perfect hosts, set up (amazing water pressure!) and context. We are already dreaming of our next visit.

My family took a 14 day road trip through NZ and this was one of our favorite accommodations! Very tidy house with a great layout. Comfortable beds with nice quality linens and spacious bathrooms. Kitchen included some thoughtful additional food supplies. The very best part was the access to the beach, which was everything I dreamed it would be and more for our nature-loving family.

We can’t wait to book our next stay here. It was such a gorgeous house with epic views. It had an awesome coffee shop with delicious toasties nearby and the hosts were very accommodating.

Great location and the place was like new. Excellent, comfortable place to stay.

beautiful house. really nice area away from the delightful aroma of rotorua but still close enough to town easily.

We found this place last minute as our plans changed unexpectedly. It was amazing! Such a great location and a beautiful home.

excellent Place; private, spacious and homely. close to areas with lots of activities.

Beautiful place to stay and spend your weekend and Anna is great host.

Don's place was perfect for our family stay. There were 15 of us in total, with seven children ranging from 3 to 16 in age. The house had plenty of room inside and out and we made good use of the BBQ and decking dining table. We particularly appreciated that each of the four families had their own bathroom and toilet. The only minor issue was that the bunkroom bunks have little headspace (which Don mentioned in advance), which wasn't ideal for the older children. Don is an excellent host, very welcoming, and easily contactable. If the opportunity arises, we would certainly wish to return.
