Beachfront vacation rentals in Whangarei District

We had a wonderful weekend away at Nikki’s classic kiwi bach! The location is so beautiful, and it was great to be right on the waterfront. The Bach is lovely and had everything we needed for a great stay. I only wish that we could have stayed longer! Nikki is a friendly, helpful and responsive host. Hopefully we will get to come back again one day!

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 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

The bach was perfect, location incredible and Claire was lovely to deal with, we will be back!

Lovely place to stay. Very well equipped. Great for family group of 3 generations. Great views from all rooms and always something happening on estuary. Pool table, spa , pizza oven and kayaks provided great variety of options. Highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay, the outlook from the bach is so peaceful. All of our family including the grand kids completely relaxed. We loved our visit and look forward to returning. Thanks for having us and our dog

We're had a fabulous time staying at this beautiful location. The perfect place to relax and unwind. Maxine was an awesome host and kept us well informed about the local water outage on one of the days, to ensure it didn't spoil our holiday. It didn't. It's been fun making memories as a family, at this home away from home.

what a place!! the house is far back road and incredibly serene. we came with two young kids and 4 adults and there was heaps to keep us occupied. trip across the estuary with kayaks to these amazing beach breaks a particular highlight. The whole house has something for everyone and honestly think we may be back. Rebecca was also an amazing host and had loads of local knowledge to share.

Sally and Kev are friendly hosts with a gorgeous spot right by the water. Plenty of room for our family of four, two bedrooms inside the cottage and a well appointed sleep-out. Amenities to meet all needs when staying away from home. Would fully recommend!

The view is beautiful. The beds are very comfortable.

The bach was lovely, real kiwi bach also Toni was amazing to deal with and left clear instructions on how to get to the bach as well as checking ourselves in Had everything you possibly would need for a trip away I absolutely loved the place and such an awesome area! The beach would be perfect for kids or swimmers who aren't to confident as the waves aren't strong at all but also have the option of a short walk to the end of the beach to a big shallow area with very little to no waves I really recommend this little bach, I fell in love and definitely would stay again!!

Lovely family home with all that the description and photos promise and much more! A once in a lifetime location. We stayed here for the last days of our NZ trip and really appreciated relaxing and exploring the area and fabulous beaches north and south. A big thank you Carol!

Fantastic house and wonderful host. We are already planning to come back!

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.

Blown away by location and beautifully presented home, complete with all the bells and whisltes. Loved that we had access to plenty of beach toys, games and books. Did not need a thing. Felt right at home after travelling 800kms. Perfect size for a big whanau who love the beach. The sunrises and sunsets are stunning.

Awesome place to stay, right by the water. Thank you very much.

Amazing little kiwi back in a private Rocky bay. Awesome for quality family time or a group of friends. Will definitely be staying here again!

It was a beautiful stay. Perfect for our whole family. We loved the Kayaks and local town, even the neighbors were all friendly. There were even toys and play pales and things for our small children, and the bunk rooms in the loft were a kids heaven. The home was great and the view was beautiful. So calm we would swim across to the island in the bay. The host was so friendly to communicate with. My dad even left his watch in our rush to get to the airport and they helped coordinate getting it back to us.

Review We rented Karen’s house for a multigenerational family holiday. It was just what we were after. Clean and well appointed with great communal spaces both inside and out, as well as plenty of space for people to get some down time. The location is incredible and the photos don’t do justice to the beauty of the surrounding bush or the beach on your doorstep - with other stunning beaches just a short walk away. Our family made great use of the spa and the kayaks, had some amazing surf sessions, and spent a lot of time exploring. It is such a perfect place to get away from it all. Karen was a fantastic host. Excellent communication and she went above and beyond to help us out and make our stay more comfortable. For example, when the weather made drying the many towels we were using every day impossible, Karen did load after load of laundry for us. We’re all keen to go back - hopefully when the weather’s better - and would highly recommend to others.
