Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana

Our family really loved our stay here, it was so peaceful and quiet… the house has homey feel and a hour drive from the beautiful beaches, we loved that the cows were right outside our fence, lots to enjoy! Thank you !

Location is excellent - the main high street is a few minutes walk away, and in 10 mins you can be on the beach. Facilities are exactly as described and shown in the pictures. Kitchen was a little dated but fully functional and had everything needed to throw together an easy meal. The shower over the bath only just reached the top of my head so anyone tall would have to get creative! Communication was excellent start to finish. Clear instructions. A very helpful book with tips and ideas of places to go. Would absolutely book again. Thank you!

We absolutely loved our stay. Nathan was incredibly welcoming and allowed us to use his place for our small wedding ceremony. It was the most amazing day and we really enjoyed our entire stay. Thanks again Nathan!! We will always remember this beautiful space that we held our special day at. ☺️

Absolutely fantastic! Met our needs even more than we imagined! Teens loved the rumpus rooms and consoles provided! Bedrooms were beautiful, upstairs was an absolute sanctuary! Location is ideal and communication was perfect! Will definitely be back next time we come to mangawhai!

Beautiful location and fantastic view. The house was modern, spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay.

fantastic place and beautiful location. The house has everything you need and more, bathroom and shower perfect, great open space and the garden is fully fenced so perfect for the furry friends if they're coming along with you. beds super comfy and everywhere is easy to walk to or drive

We really enjoyed our stay, great host ! Very accommodating. Would recommend :)

We had a wonderful time at Natalie and Charles’ place. Nothing was a hassle for them and their communication was excellent. Our kids loved the loft and enjoyed their quiet time up there. We also loved our sneaky visit from Barkley too! We would definitely stay again. Thank you guys 😊

Dan had the spa heated up for us before we arrived at night. It was a nice stay at Dan’s place.

I cannot fault this property. My wife and I had a wonderful weekend, the place looks even better than in the photos. The tiny house is chic, cosy, modern, has an incredible sound system, extremely comfy bed, proper little coffee machine, the hot tub was always hot, there was fresh fruit, herbs and flowers from the garden provided - these hosts really go the extra mile! We loved meeting Jeremy and Rae to greet us when we arrived. They recommended the coolest little secret beach ⛱️ they were super relaxed about us bringing our dog. We would love to come back. This is definitely a place we will highly recommend to our friends and family. We feel so relaxed and restored. Thanks you two!

Had a lovely staycation here. Inside the house is very cozy and comfortable. Had great views of mountains and valleys, and was overall very peaceful. Cherry and Murray communicated well and made everything easy. Awesome airbnb :)

Jo was an amazing host, easy to message if need be and made us feel welcome. will be booking again next time i am in auckland. depending on where you do wanna go. $20 uber to the CBD or ponsonby and was a large space for a weekend getaway

We had an idyllic home away from home experience. Friendly owners, respectful of guests and quick to assist if required. The property was the perfect getaway, the gardens so beautiful, outdoor area to sit and watch rabbits and quail dashing around the grounds. Hope to stay again. Would highly recommend.

Always a pleasure to stay at Juliet's place. A wonderful, peaceful hideaway so close to town.

Let me just say, if i am ever in Tauranga again (from Florida), I know a fantastic B&B. Laura is a warm and welcoming host and her accommodation is clean, stylish, and comfortable. She is a detail person and it shows. We loved the neighborhood. Mount Maunganui was an easy drive and a great hike. The hot water pool at the base was relaxing. Laura cooked for us one night after a full day of activity. Delicious. Our stay at Laura's was a highlight of our NZ holiday.

Sarah’s home sits in a stunning location. When you walk in the view of the ocean and the bay by Palm Beach and the sailboats against the shimmering water and huge sky is just unforgettable. The house is big and comfortable and well stocked with everything you need. The salt water pool is the perfect temperature and the hot tub is hot and warms you up after swimming. The walking track is right in front of the house. It’s on a steep drive but it’s centrally located on Waiheke and easy enough to get everywhere. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you Sarah for sharing your home with us.

Wonderful location. Comfortable beds. Quiet. Tidy. Hostess was friendly and met us at the door. Highly recommend.

What a wonderful experience, staying at this country manor. Beautiful location. The guest rooms are compact, but have everything you need, with lovely French vintage interior design. The outside tables enjoy wonderful sun and views. Lovely country escape.

Lydia's place I can't recommend enough. we were over that way for a friend's Wedding which was just 7 minute walk from out accommodation. loved John the dog, he showed us around inside even sat down ( like welcome 🤣) really good spot 👌. Apart from been unwell I loved our stay and felt really safe.

Paula's place was great! Such a great location to stay at in Auckland. Plenty of space with 2 separate rooms with Queen sized beds. Very nice washroom. We really appreciated how friendly and welcoming Paula and her partner were. Recommended for a amazing, relaxing stay in Auckland!

Sue’s place is exactly as described on the listing. Bedrooms are all generous in size and beds are very comfortable. Essentials such as salt / pepper were all supplied and we took the option to pay extra to have the linen included which was super convenient. Woolies is a 5 min walk away and also the Ostend Markets (Saturday mornings). Sue is super helpful and very responsive - I would definitely stay there again.

From the moment we arrived, it was bliss. Beautiful location, cute accommodation and good facilities. Breakfast bits an added bonus. Cambridge nearby was handy for BBQ bits, although we struggled to work the BBQ but our host came to the rescue! The biggest compliment we can give is that we are gutted we only had one night here. Would definitely stay here again if we ever visit NZ.

beautiful spot to stay. amazing view of Oceans Beach. Kathryn was very welcoming and greeted us on arrival. Private, comfortable bed, gorgeous view of the Forrest from bathroom, absolutely lovely spot to stay. highly recommend,

We had a lovely few days at Sue’s place. We flew in from the UK super early and Sue was kind enough to let us check in early. The apartment is beautifully decorated and the furniture was very very comfortable (perfect for the jet lag). And the bathroom was a thing of dreams. Sue was very friendly and responsive to messages but was happy to just let us crack on. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Auckland, closer to nature but still very close to the main city.
