Vacation rentals with a kayak in Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana

Used Sonja’s place for our work team Away Day’s and it was the perfect location with plenty of bed’s, bathrooms and space! House was spotless on arrival and kitchen is kitted with everything you need. Quick 7 minute walk to the beach and local shops so good location! Thank you Sonja!

Great little kiwi Bach. Perfect for what we needed and in a great location for the beach. Basic amenities but they do the job and we enjoyed our stay. Thanks

We had such a great night here - this space was so peaceful and we wish we could have stayed for longer to bird watch and take in the view. It’s exactly what you want from a beach house. Loved it!

The view from Duane's place is stunning! Everything was clean and tidy and we loved the location. Beds were comfortable and there was lots of space for our family. We appreciated the paddle boards and kayaks even if the weather didn't quite cooperate with us towards the end of our stay. I can highly recommend Duane's place. Thanks for having us!

Suzy’s place is warm, cozy and inviting and just what we needed on the rainy days we had. The house is beautifully decorated and we enjoyed the pizza oven despite less than ideal outdoor conditions. The photos don’t do the spaces justice! We loved our stay!

Such a beautiful spot. The house was very clean and tidy on arrival. Clean sheets & towels - our large family group immediately felt right at home. There was plenty of space for our group of 12.. we didn’t feel crammed in and everyone had a very comfortable bed. The views were amazing, hosts were easily contacted and we were all very comfortable during our stay. Would highly recommend. The bucket of Easter eggs in the fridge were a lovely surprise too 🥰

A super place. Louise was a fantastic host, always available and made us feel right at home. So many lovely touches (asking what milk we would like on arrival, leaving local coffee to use, writing a very nice welcome note, leaving a bar of Easter chocolate) A very memorable trip, home and host. Thanks so much

Thanks for letting us use your batch for the weekend. Such a lovely place to stay

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!

Lovely bach in a beautiful location overlooking the water. Loved the decor. The bach is well appointed with books and games for a rainy day and kayaks for a sunny day out on the water. We loved the weekend we spent there.

Fantastic views and space for the price! This is perfect for all types of occasions with a group of family or friends. The host was responsive and we were given clear instructions on everything regarding to the house, check in, directions, recycling, etc! Highly recommended!

Jeremy & Andrea were helpful and friendly. We had a fantastic stay! The place was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The location was ideal, just a short walk to the beach, which was perfect for morning and evening walk One of the highlights was definitely the wood-fired pizza oven. It was such a fun we really enjoyed making pizzas and spending the evening outdoors

This place is a perfect getaway. It has everything you need. Full kitchen, grill, king size bed. The place is very comfortable. You can take kayaks and paddle around or go to the great remote beach.

Kathryn’s place was amazing! We loved our stay. I couldn’t believe how well stocked it was. Everything we needed was there. It was extremely comfortable. The hospitality was so welcoming and we felt right at home. The view and the serenity take the cake though. Not often you get ocean, mountains, pastures, cows etc all at one place. Definitely recommend.

We had an excellent time at Lisa. Lisa wa super helpful and accommodating.

Thanks for having us again’

I enjoyed my stay, extremely quiet being miles off a main road. water views with a friendly host allowing you access to all of the rural land.

Thank you Gillian for having my Partner and I. Beautiful tranquil environment, which was a lovely retreat. All the amenities one could need, perfectly described and surrounded by nature. The host was friendly and fantastic. Thank you.

We loved every minute of our stay at Nuku Cabin. Diane was so welcoming and made us feel totally at home. I loved all of the thoughtful detail she has gone to make our dog feel at home also, with supplying a doggy bowl, blanket and bed. The house was absolutely pristine and had everything we could possibly want. My family will definitely be back again.

We had a great stay here! It was such a peaceful location and could easily walk or drive into the township. Jessica was responsive and helpful at all times! Clean, tidy place and loved the big shower

Really enjoyed our stay at Clive’s place. He was a great host with lots of good recommendations. Pataua south is a beautiful location and we hope to be back. Cabin was just what we needed and very tidy. Perfect spot for a dog and the beach is only 10m outside of your own private gate!

We loved our stay, beautiful surroundings and nice to get to explore them with the kayaks and paddle boards available. Belinda and her husband were above and beyond hosts, will definitely be back!

Absolutely breathtaking views sound this gorgeous cabin! It was cozy & comfortable. A highlight was taking the free kayaks for a paddle for more beautiful scenery on the water. Plus a bonus to be greeted by friendly goats on our way through the paddock down to the river. We found the shower tricky to maintain at a comfortable temperature, but that’s not uncommon when living off the grid. We’d absolutely recommend for a special experience!

We found a place our entire family enjoyed, we loved all the activities, the set up and the peacefulness. We plan to be back!
