Vacation rentals with a firepit in Golden Bay / Mohua

Kathryn was a lovely host and we really appreciated the little basket with local products she prepared for us :)

This place is a slice of paradise! My family relaxed here for 3 lovely weeks. The location was walkable to town and was perfect from the moment we arrived with fresh baked bread on the counter!! The kitchen was atocked with coffee and tea as well as all the nessisary pans, dishes and utensils for cooking meals. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of extra pillows, towels and linnens. We relaxed in the garden, barbecued and visited the local spots for delicious food. We didn't need to ask for much, but Karina was a superior host and responsive when we had questions. The garden was spectacular. I'd give 10 stars if I could!!

Ligar Bay is a fantastic spot, the changing tides provide so much diversity and interest - we kayaked, paddle boarded, walked and swam in the bay and at surrounding beaches and tracks. The house itself is very clean, with beautiful outlook and the garden is lovely. Furnishings and linen are very stylish and beds were comfortable. We found the lack of curtains/blinds a little challenging - there’s a skylight without a blind directly above master bed, one bedroom has no blind and the other had sheers, which provide privacy but no light. We love our sleep in holiday! We also missed having a dishwasher - some wouldn’t care. We appreciated all the pantry staples, great indoor and outdoor showers and water toys available for guests to use. A stunning place!

Claudia's property is amazing and will tickle anyone who loves something a bit wild and intrepid! The view from the bedroom cabin over the bay is amazing. The outdoor bath was so relaxing, once we got the hang of feeding the stove correctly. The atmosphere was 10/10 and you won't struggle to feel at home here if you like the outdoors and going off the grid.

This was our second visit to Atatu and we weren't disappointed. This is a truly beautiful place to stay. The house is fantastic with every facility you could possibly need. A place for total relaxation with pool, spa and space. Beautiful countryside and the sounds of nature on your doorstep. Panoramic views across rolling hills of olive and pine nut trees out to the ocean beyond. If you like to cook then you'll find everything you need in the well appointed kitchen. Lots of dining space both inside and out. Basia is the ultimate host. Informative, helpful, proactive, doing everything she can to make sure your stay is perfect. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return a third time next year.

100% recommends The boot. hubby and I are always looking for unique stays and this certainly fit the bill. awesome surroundings, great fireplaces, comfy bed. the little details like home made bread and fresh flowers made us feel right at home. thank you Judy, we had such an awesome time. ps... the ginger slice at Jesters is THE BEST!

Elwynne and Em have a beautiful spot in Tapawera. We were so delighted chatting with Elwynne every morning and evening, and her kitties and doggo were a wonderful treat that made us feel right at home. We loved Elwynne’s home cooked meals for dinner, after long days of exploring it was such a treat to come back to that. The accommodation was everything and more, and the spot was so charming! All the sheep were a lovely perk as well. We hope to return in the future!

Absolutely loved the stay here on the water! Although the sun was hiding for the few days we were in town, we were able to enjoy the cottage and get some much needed R&R 😊 Elspeth was there to greet us and was a wonderful host. A+++++

Angie is an amazing host. Other than we asked so many questions and favors, all she has been doing was being nice, calm and supportive. The tiny house isn't so tiny.. we were very surprised to see how big the house is versus tiny houses. You have a beautiful lake just in front of you, the house has all amenities you need for cooking or relaxing. There is no wifi - we kinda liked it, place to talk with your partner and have a great night with her. I have absolutely nothing negative to say. Would come again! We wish you the best, thank you!
