Ohiwa Hideaway

FionaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Lovely relaxing stay at a classic Kiwi bach. Family holiday with our three kids and we all had a great time kayaking, trying to catch fish, having more success catching mud crabs, going for hikes on the headland, and just relaxing offline. Host Nik is super friendly and responsive, place was exactly what we were expecting and hoping for, and we will be back!! Highly recommend to others who enjoy old school device-free outdoor kids family holidays :)

Pōhatu Studio, A retreat by the River

AnneliseRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Thank you Lynda for our lovely stay. We only stayed the one night and it was just the place. Spotless space with everything we needed. Comfy bed and beautiful lawns. Lynda was lovely to deal with and was very friendly. I recommend 10/10

Eco Lodge - Amazing Coastal Views

GiselleRating, 5 stars4 months ago

Such a fabulous stay - thanks! We were so surprised to discover the Christmas tree and decorations which made it feel like our home while we stated. The fish was delicious and the spaces generously soaked up our large family. I think the photos undersell what a beautiful space it is.

Seagull Cottage - a riverside bach near the beach.

Adi Surya WidyaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Fiona is an amazing host, always caring and thoughtful, with clear and helpful instructions that made everything super easy for us. The place itself is beautiful, tidy, and honestly even better than we expected. It was the perfect cozy stop for our road trip, and all four of us agreed: it deserves 6 out of 5 stars! We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. The only small note is that we couldn’t use the garage for parking, so we just parked right in front of the backdoor. Thank you so much, Fiona! Would definitely stay again ❤️

Villa with River Views.

LeonieRating, 5 stars5 days ago

A beautiful old villa really tastefully decorated and well looked after. We were very comfortable. The location is better than the initial Airbnb pin, and we easily strolled into town/farmers market/ museum with two young kids. The back garden looking over the river is really peaceful. Kitchen well equipped. Thank you for a great stay.

Winters Summer House at Waihau Bay

RebeccaRating, 5 stars17 months ago

We had a large group of travellers from the North and South Islands which made travel logistics as expected interesting. Knowing that we had the accommodation sorted at our destination was a relief. Kevin ensured that we had all the information that we required to make the most of our stay in the Eastern Bay of Plenty. The property had all the space and amenities that we required.

Airi Kainga - Seaside Holiday Home

MaresaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Absolutely loved our weekend stay, the house was fantastic and had everything we needed. The location is reasonably private but still a close run to the shop if needed. Close to beautiful swimming beaches and easy access for fishing/diving off the rocky inlet below. We appreciated the use of the kayak. Would definitely recommend this house for an amazing get-away, thanks!

Esplanade Town House

MichelleRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Easy access to the shopping centre and the port/ beaches. The house is older style but very clean and presented well. Limited parking. We thought it was a bit expensive for what we got. Twin share and one queen. It's a real shame that people put their prices up, when accommodation is limited due to SLSNZ Competition, we didn't have much choice for accommodation. This happens everywhere not just in Gizzy. Adrian's house was lovely to stay in and I would recommend it.
