Vacation rentals with beach access in Whananaki

We love staying at the Gables Apartment . Beautiful location on the waterfront . Apartment is well appointed and very comfortable Perfect retreat to restore the soul Kelly is a wonderful host very helpful and accommodating

We had a superb stay with Raewyn and Theo at Ripples N Tide Studio. The studio had nice touches for our arrival and everything was exactly as pictured. Despite the weather not coming to the party, we were able to entertain ourselves with watching the bird life at our door step and had the option of a plethora of books available to us, or the short drive into town to have a look around. We really enjoyed our stay and chatting to Theo. Very much recommend :)

This is a very cozy, warm and unforgettable memory.Because Taoyue is in the first row of the excellent sea view coast, sitting on the balcony facing the harbor at 180 degrees, you can enjoy breakfast, use your phone, flip through magazines, etc. Plus the patient and considerate host couple made us feel at home. Thanks again to the couple for providing such a clean, tidy and comfortable stay.

Although the weather wasn’t great, our stay was lovely. Peter and Jacqueline let us know right away that the spa was broken but that they were working to get it fixed as soon as possible. They even brought us chocolates to make up for it. We were very happy to get to use it on our last morning. The view was fantastic!

Lovely place nestled in the hills of Russell. Little drive into the main town but nice relaxed area. Place was spacious. There are a few other rooms but not really an issue. Views are great.

Lovely stay, highly recommend Lil's place. The location is awesome, so relaxing, comfortable bed, everything you need for a great stay is provided, love there is a full size fridge, BBQ, washing machine and dryer amongst other essentials. Lil is very helpful and there is plenty of information about walks, where to go and what to see. Being able to walk across the road to the water each day was a bonus and the views from the unit are forever changing as the tides come and go and the sun rises and sets. Some days there are cattle next door at the fence. I highly recommend staying and will return in the near future.

Leanne was a wonderful host; excellent with communication and very helpful. The accomodation has a stunning view and is beautifully kept - comfortable, clean and just right for our stay (a two-nighter). The location was excellent; close to the city which has wonderful restaurants - of note The Quay. Highly recommended.

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!

This place is gorgeous and a perfect location, easy walk to town and wharf. The place has a beautiful large deck that was excellent for relaxing with wonderful views. But Mary went above and beyond by leaving us some light groceries and even a bottle of wine which was such a wonderful welcome gift! Beautiful stay, definitely recommend it! Susan, Dallas Tx

Great location, within walking distance to beautiful beaches. The house was well-equipped and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Chloe and Ben were friendly and super responsive, making our experience even better.

Fabulous accommodation in a beautiful area. Stunning house & outdoor area & friendly & helpful hosts. Thank you so much! We thoroughly enjoyed our break away at your spot!

Amazing host, great communication and super clean and tidy house.

Stunning week away over Easter. We arrived a few hours after a cyclone, which meant no power and water. Anneke was great with all communication about the situation. We chose to stay hoping the power would be back on soon. The next day it was. Meanwhile, Anneke bought us wine and coffee and then arranged a generator so we could shower and charge phones etc. Then we had six glorious days of sunshine with the odd shower. We love walking, so explored all the local walks in the booklets and info guide. Every afternoon we relaxed on the deck just watching the ocean and boats. We ended our days with an outdoor bath, which was Devine. Anneke was a wonderful host. A true legend. The Bach was beautiful, clean, new and private. Highly recommend.

We spent a night at Merrill’s place on our road trip. The place was very easy to find just off the main road north. Merrill met us at check in a showed us around the house. We were given breakfast provisions for the next morning which was very nice and also some local fruit to try. The property has 2 bedrooms and a combined living room and kitchen with everything you need. The Ruakaka beach is beautiful just about 15 min walk or 3 min drive away. We would stay again.

Incredible location and well equiped place for a group! Can’t beat those views!

This is the most beautiful house in the most stunning of locations. You will never get tired of the views 😍 Donna was amazing as our host and we will absolutely be returning.

Very friendly, very tidy well looked after property

Unique location above the marina. It was great to spend time on the deck watching the comings and goings of all the boats. The place was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. The Marina Cafe across the carpark had great meals that we ate there two nights in a row. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

For a winter break it really was perfect. Best spot ever. The best part....The people! Friendly, helpful. Kind. Every eatery was great. Op shop for fishing clothes too! Had great fishing with " Buckos" Dont miss it! Will return. Thankyou. BnM

It was a lovely relaxing spot to spend a week in a rural setting with sea views out to the Poor Knights islands. A large property, accessed off a private road so very secluded and peaceful. Handy location half way between Matapouri Bay and Tutukaka, although you do need a car to go anywhere. Kitchen was very well equipped including basic supplies. Access to an indoor swimming pool, ability to charge the EV, and use of the laundry was a bonus. The hosts were very welcoming on arrival and explained the facilities and beach access path. Special touches were a bottle of wine and locally made nut brittle on arrival, and acknowledgement of our wedding anniversary which was during our stay. Annette and Bianca were super helpful and responded promptly to any questions.

Imagine a place where every moment feels like a dream. Just steps away, the beach beckons with its crystal clear water. Downstairs, the spa offers a haven of relaxation, while upstairs, the tranquil surroundings and breathtaking harbour views create a perfect retreat. The weather? Absolutely stunning. The house? Imacculate in every detail. Linda, the host? She goes above & beyond, adding delightful touches like quality coffee pods paired with chocolates, a chilled bottle of bubbkes in the fridge, and#a thoughtful welcome breakfast pack. This is not just accommodation; it's#a first class experience that inspires & rejuvenates! It was hard to leave!

Fabulous hosts, lovely accommodation. We stayed for three nights, and all loved it including our puppy. If we didn't have to be back home for things, we would've extended our stay by a couple more nights. I'm sure we will be back again though. Thanks for the lovely stay
