Unique Lakeside Retreat- 2 bed, 2 bath
Awesome place with everything we needed. Would definitely visit again

The Beachy Bach
Absolutely perfect for us. Get escape away from people and just super relaxing watching the ocean views. The Bach is the typical kiwi bach very easy to feel at home. We will definitely stay again if we can.

Studio on Petley.
David and Lynn are truly delightful! Their accommodations were the perfect place to stay in Tairua. With a warm welcome and a clean, well equipped guesthouse steps from the water we couldn’t have asked for more! We hope to return someday and will recommend their place to others. Thank you for blessing us with your kindness and little slice of New Zealand!

Tairua Beach Escape - Absolute Beach Front
Thiis is a magical place with amazing views and a great location. House was equipped with anything we could need and more.

Thank you Karin for being a wonderful host and sharing your home with us!

AquaSoleil Villa 14
Closely drivable to town for anything you may need, but an amazing view from this side of town! Perfect little place. Well kept and everything you need inside. Would love to come stay again!

Waterfront -Admiralty Aerie 209
Location was fantastic, and the waterfront sunrise view was beautiful, and a great way to start your day! Enjoyed spending time on the porch. Self check in process was easy, and having a dedicated parking spot right at the stairwell was a huge convenience. Amenities were excellent & the space itself was clean and nicely decorated. We also appreciated Donna’s quick responses and willingness to accommodate our needs on short notice. Her hospitality truly made a difference in our experience.

Luxury Apartment with stunning Marina Views
The apartment is spacious and modern with stunning views over the marina. It is well equipped with everything you could need. We received clear instructions making it easy to find and access the property. We had a very enjoyable few days exploring the beautiful coastline around Whitianga.

Pauanui Palms
This is a great location on the canal front with a view straight down the waterway facing north.The property has its own water access boat/jet ski launching ramp and pontoon which is really convenient. The pool ,spa and deck areas get plenty of sun and great views. The house was very tidy and larger than expected with plenty of areas for privacy if anyone needed that. The kitchen is equipped with all thats expected in a home to cook for a family group and theres a second fridge and kitchenette to use which is helpful. We would come back again for sure.

Whangamata Resort Living.
Amy’s house is stunning, the photos don’t do it justice, a really luxurious stay. It is less than a minutes walk on the beach, and the outside shower is a real bonus when coming back sandy, great design!location wise as well as being practically on the beach, all the town cafes and blackies are easily walkable. Outside space is amazing - pool, bar and hot tub, sofa seating all around the house in both sun and shade, and great dining space inside and out. All bedrooms had comfy mattresses and bedding, clean spacious bathrooms. Generous office Desk space and WiFi was strong. Useful to be able to put our bikes in the garage for safety. Amy was responsive and proactive at making sure we had everything we needed for a lovely holiday. Finally, must mention the whole home smells like a luxury resort, together with all the tropical planting outside it was like a holiday somewhere exotic!

Beachside Glamping Pod overlooking the bay
Nice view and fun glamping pod experience. Slightly close to the next pods but overall would recommend!

The Secret View at Hot Water Beach
Had an amazing time at your beautiful place!! had everything you need for a luxurious stay. highly recommend, will be back! 🙂

Te Mahana Cottage - pool & spa
Great place situated very close to the Ocean in a fantastic area. The daily walks on the beach is very good for body and soul and the facilities are perfect. The area opens up so many options, that it can’t be described - just look it up and go for it.
Private beachfront home rentals

The Admiral
Lovely modern home on river by beach. Beautiful, quiet. Enjoyed kayaking from house to house wish we stayed longer!

The Sands Summer House
A fantastic find! Really close to the beautiful beach. Nothing like an early morning or sunset stroll. Robyn's place had everything we needed. It was spotless, extremely comfy bed, amazing shower... perfect for the three of us. Thanks so much!

Waihi Beach home is right on the beach
Excellent location, right on the beach and only a short walk to the shops. Wendy is a great host, communicating as soon as the booking was confirmed with essential information.

Kuaotunu Beach Bliss
We really enjoyed our stay, lovely clean and spacious property in a gorgeous setting. Janice was very welcoming and easy to communicate with, thanks again we’d love to come back!

Adventurers Chest - Pohutukawa Equipment Included
Had a lovely relaxing stay at Adventures Chest - Pohutakawa. The place felt more spacious in person than it looks in the pictures, only 1 minute walk to hot water beach with surrounding beaches - Cooks and Hahei just a short drive away. Felt right at home, had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Loved using the fireplace each night and the bed was the most comfortable bed I've slept in since I can remember, I would love to find out the mattress type. Pillows were amazing as well. Stay was peaceful and quiet, 3 nights really wasn't enough, I didn't want to leave! The only downside for me would be how close the surrounding houses are and the other tiny home next door, but it didn't really disrupt my time there, still felt relatively private. Beautiful space to disconnect.

Private Bay with Amazing Sea Views
What a unique location! We really enjoyed our time at the house. The views were even more amazing than the pictures can convey. The house was very clean and Lynne was great at communicating as well. No issues at all!

Pohutukawa's by the surf
Rob was a great host, super quick responses and opened the house to us earlier when their was no guests before us. House is very spacious and homey. Kid friendly and the beach right across the road. We will always look for robs place first when we come back to Waihi beach!

'Simplicity' beach front apartment
We booked the lower apartment for 10 days If there are guests above in the other apartment of the house, it gets noisy. But the hosts point out! The listing is accurate and ok!
