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

Beautiful place, nice and spacious. was a lovely weekend away

The best airbnb I’ve stayed at (I’ve stayed at a lot). The most beautiful, comfortable, private place, close to everything you need.

Hi Kathy, thank you so much for the use of your property, was wonderful and we were all very comfortable. A beautiful house.

Great location, handy to Botanic Gardens, local shops, central city and great access to motorway out of town and to airport. Drive on access with parking was very helpful. Sunny in the mornings and good heating when the weather turned cold. Kitchen very well supplied with everything that you need.

Stunning is an understatement. Beautiful rooms that are methodically designed based out of consideration for guests comfort and style. Comfy beds and AC units in each room and each room has its own theme. I honestly could have laid in bed all day. Her location is perfect, within walking distance of the ocean, marina and restaurants and just far enough away to allow quiet at night time. If you’re looking for a quaint, delicate, methodically planned, as well as someone who honoured the house for what it used to be this is your place. I promise you won’t forget your time here.

We have stayed at this property in the past and it fits a team of four really easy. As everything needed for staying and working away from home. Accommodation in Gisborne are excellent hosts. Nothing is an issue and they communicate really well and respond promptly. High recommend them as hosts.

Beautiful surroundings house is immaculate the area was perfect, would I book this property out again most definitely 😍. Stunning sea view as soon as you wake up loved everything about it, my family and myself enjoyed our stay was also surrounded by beaches close to property and surrounding areas. Thank you Howard and Liz, highly recommend to others it’s a A+++++ from me and my family 🙏🏾

Tracy’s place was outstanding. A quiet setting that was walkable to great parks, restaurants, and shops. The home was spotless and comfortably accommodated our party of 6. Would highly recommend to stay here and will hopefully be back in the future! Thank you Tracy for allowing us to stay there! Loved it.

Such a great place to stay, perfect for our group. Lots of space, both as a large group but also breakout areas. Outdoors is stunning, great to wander around in the sun and fresh air, very quiet and peaceful - our dogs love it!! Well equipped throughout, kitchen had all the staples and plenty of serving ware for group meals, bedrooms were all fabulously set out, plenty of extra bedding and towels if needed. Lots of games to have fun with, plus the pool and tennis court. We had a blast, thank you for having us!!

We had a 6 day family Christmas Holiday here and it couldn't have been nicer. Daniel and Angela met us when we arrived and explained the various systems such as pool, TV, internet, etc. They were available nearby in case we needed them (which turned out we did not), but did not intrude in our privacy. The actual facilities were even nicer than the photos and descriptions provided in the AirBnB listing. One of the special things about this home displayed was the care and art that the hosts have put into it. Everything is amazing. It is ultra-private and it seems as if you are alone in the forest overlooking a beautiful valley. The view from the upstairs master suite is awesome. Our two grandkids spent hours each day in this nice, clean, warm pool. The pool - patio area was well done and relaxing for lounging between swims. . I would HIGHLY recommend this property and hosts.

We had a lovely stay at Harding House. The house is well-located and spacious. Bernise was responsive and really helpful. Thank you for a great stay!

Incredible stay in Taupo. Lovely accommodation that we didn't want to leave. Ticked all the boxes, would definitely recommend and will hopefully be back!

This place was amazing!!! We booked the whole place and had a family reunion with 15 adults, 2 kids and an infant and the villa was perfect! If anything she under sells how wonderful it is!

The most beautiful home. Space, style fully and equipped beyond many places I’ve stayed. Stunning, absolutely stunning location, you would never tire of the view. Hope to come again.

We stayed for a full week and used the house as a base to explore Nelson and surrounds, Havelock (where we took a boat into the Sounds and Blenheim / wineries. After a day exploring, and some days when we didn’t leave the house, we lapped up the views and quiet time - card games, reading, cooking, drinking great NZ wine. The sauna and wood fired hot tub was amazing especially when the skies were clear. The views are spectacular! The drive up the hill is as described (terrifying in the wild wind and rain we had!). Make sure you book a 4WD or an all wheel drive as NZ weather is famously unpredictable. Great hosts who thought of all the small touches and were super responsive.

Incredible location and home for a large group looking to spend time together. We were four adult couples and two toddlers. The space was perfect, having a bunk room and separate lounge for the little ones with enough bathrooms and privacy in different zones around the house. Direct beach access, quick walk to the local shop, cafe, playground and surfclub. Can't wait to come back!

We had an amazing family holiday - we were there for 3 1/2 days and ended up spending 2 of them at the property playing tennis, in the pool, playing board games and chilling out. The massive kitchen (with 2 ovens), BBQ and the butlers pantry meant catering for a family of 10 foodies was super enjoyable. There's a 2nd fridge/freezer in the laundry for food overflow and drinks. So many nooks for people to take themselves off to, and loads of communal spaces big enough for all of us to congregate. It was perfect for what we wanted. Communication with the Taylors team was excellent. We'll definitely be back.

Beautiful villa, kids loved the pool and tennis court. Great for a big family get together.

Perfect location and ticked all the boxes for our young family. This was our first time booking an air BnB and we are so glad we did, will definitely be returning

We had an absolutely lovely stay at Greg & Jan’s place! We were there to celebrate our mom’s big birthday and it was a wonderful stay. Lovely house with a beautiful pool, kitchen and everything else ❤️ Greg & Jan were delightful hosts, always available to answer any questions we may have. Beautiful place to stay in Blenheim, visiting many wineries nearby. Highly recommend!

Once again, this has to be one of the best places to stay in Masterton. Close to all the amenities and the house itself is very roomy and has everything you could want for a comfortable stay - even a swimming pool and barbecue. Highly Recommend.

The property is beautifully presented, in a very quiet and picture perfect location. We had a wonderful time, and surprised ourselves with the good rest we all had. The living space and outdoor area are massive, and it is a very perfect location for a weekend away.

Definitely recommend, close to our destinations. Sauna and the spa were definitely highlights for us. Thank you Sray Care Team

This was our second visit to Atatu and we weren't disappointed. This is a truly beautiful place to stay. The house is fantastic with every facility you could possibly need. A place for total relaxation with pool, spa and space. Beautiful countryside and the sounds of nature on your doorstep. Panoramic views across rolling hills of olive and pine nut trees out to the ocean beyond. If you like to cook then you'll find everything you need in the well appointed kitchen. Lots of dining space both inside and out. Basia is the ultimate host. Informative, helpful, proactive, doing everything she can to make sure your stay is perfect. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return a third time next year.
