Beachfront vacation rentals in Gisborne District

We had an incredible stay at Hidden Gem, Whanarua Bay. This spacious place truly exceeded our expectations. The accommodation was clean, equipped with everything we needed, outdoors bath delightful touch, fabulous bbq area, pizza oven, brazier, washing machine a great convenience, toilet and shower facilities made the stay even more comfortable. The setting is safe, secure and perfect environment for relaxation and rejuvenation. Immersed in breathtaking views of nature in complete tranquility, such a peaceful and scenic spot from the hustle and bustle. Thank you so much Alistair (down to earth, great communication, responsive host) and siblings for sharing your family paradise. Highly recommend! We definitely will return.

Wonderful place, such a great location. Great front deck with the best view around, and a great quiet back deck area shielded from the weather. 5/5 would stay again!

We really enjoyed our stay at George's place! While it is an old bach that is showing it's age in some places, it is comfortable and cozy with everything we could possibly have needed including a thoughtful array of snacks. And then there is the view which is UTTERLY STUNNING! Perched on the dunes overlooking the beach, the deck was a great place to watch the sunrise and then take a walk on the beautiful sand beach, play in the waves, watch the surfers...My one concern is the path from the bach deck to the beach which is pretty treacherous (a bit steep but I found that part fine). Path is overgrown with a haphazard array of possibly some previous steps made of concrete stones, wood, old tires (I think). Where the dirt and sand are exposed, it was pretty slippery after a rain. We gathered some "walking sticks" from the beach to use going up and down which helped. Still, this was not enough of an issue to deter our delight.

This place was prefect for the need of our large number of Whanau. Very clean and comfy whare.

Great little place for a family stay. A good in between if you’re not a fan of camping but want to be a little more connected than a house usually allows. Short walk to a lovely beach and a short drive to everything you need in Ōpōtiki. Tania was a great communicator. A smooth and relaxing break from reality.

We had booked this cosy cottage for a week over Easter. Unfortunately we came up to go fishing and due to weather we shortened our stay. Location was perfect and the cottage had all the amenities. We will definitely be back Jan- thanks for everything- we will come back up when the weather warms up.

You can’t get a better location than this! House was great and would definitely recommend to others!

We are a family of five adults and two children, we’ve been traveling around NZ and after many homes this one was everyone’s favorite! Beautiful home, picture perfect surroundings and views, friendly host. Would definitely recommend!

Could see dawn from the dining room whilst sipping a tea. Beautiful spot.

Jeni’s studio is part of the downstairs of her own house. The house has a front lawn with a nice table for dining outdoors. The beach is just there in front beyond the state road. You can see, hear and smell the sea from the garden! I love that the house is mid-century and the studio preserves some of that charm and vibe. However Jeni has added many contemporary details to make the place comfortable and cozy like her two new double beds with very nice linens and plenty of pillows. There is an abundance of bathroom towels, beach towels and blankets to cuddle up in. Jeni is a super host, very hospitable and replied within minutes to any enquiry we had.

The place is perfect, amazing views, well kitted out and awesome to stay at. Will be back.

Stunning location right on the beach front, surf break out front, an absolute paradise. A quiet, peaceful and relaxing spot, with multiple indoor and outdoor areas to relax, a spa overlooking the ocean, we had a great stay thank you! The property manager Kaz was very responsive. Spa was awesome but needed some TLC. Multiple security camera's felt slightly invasive.

Beautiful stay, the place & view is absolutely stunning We throughly enjoyed our time spent there and have recommended it to everyone The basket of children’s toys under the tv was a hit with our grandson, just that little touch of home made it so special for him Stepping out & across the road to do a spot of fishing was amazing for my husband Then eating oysters off the rocks & swimming & snorkeling and watching our grandson building sand castles in the creamy white sand was special A place where beautiful memories are made Thank you Meagan for sharing your beautiful little bit of paradise with us
