Vacation rentals in Te Kōhanga / Shipwreck Bay

Wendy’s place in Paihia was wonderful! It is in a prime location with parking included, and provides easy access to wharf, restaurants and shopping. It was clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed. Thank you Wendy!

The room is great & very nice! It is clean & kitchen is well equipped. We also can use the laundry for washing my clothes.

We felt highly welcome. Vanessa answered a question within minutes and helped out. She asked us if we need anything from the supermarket ( is 45 min. away). Well equipped apartment. Silence. Beach nearly just for us. Perfect. 😀

Malcom and Penny were so welcoming and we had the most wonderful stay! The perfect location, hidden in the hills with only a quick spin in to town. Really enjoyed our weekend, couldn’t recommend their place more, a beautiful home!

Anthony’s place is beautiful and relaxing. The views are stunning and we especially enjoyed having our coffee on the lovely window seat. The sounds of the kiwis at night are a special treat. Highly recommend this Airbnb, and its convenient location for exploring the area.

Vittoria is an excellent host. Great communication at all times. Accommodation was perfect with no issues at all. Can highly recommend Vittoria and her property!!

Our group of 7 women rated this house as one of the highlights of our 4 day stay in Russell. The location is scenic and peaceful and only a short drive to the town centre. We wished we'd had more time to enjoy the pleasures this house offers and would highly recommend both it and the host Dave.

One of the things that’s hard about finding a place in a new place is the sense of relative distances. We were further outside of town than we had expected, but man was it worth it. The views down to the bay were spectacular. And being from the northern hemisphere, the night sky is of particular interest. We were lucky with high pressure, so being just far enough outside of town gave us breathtaking star gazing. Jo was so helpful in making suggestions for places to see, quickly able to help us prioritize based on the way we roll, a good mix of walking and driving, a wonderful resource and real hospitality pro. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Such a peaceful, beautiful park like setting. The accommodation itself has everything you’ll need. There are so many huge windows that bring the outside in. Minutes to beautiful beaches and local restaurants and shops. Greg and Annette are fabulous hosts. So friendly and personable with lots of recommendations of things to see.
