Find Places to Stay in Karaka on Airbnb

Great big space in a good location. Close to the airport. Quiet neighborhood. Excellent hosts.

Beautiful view from Zaid and Priya’s place, they kindly let us stay even though they had endeavoured to cancel. We had been travelling all day as our original plans had changed due to corona virus outbreak and we hadn’t looked at any communication. So happy to find they had a great kitchen with milk and a lot of food as we used it for dinner. We were flying out next day. Lovely stylish apartment, amazing bathroom. Has steps up to it, which may be a challenge for the less able. Lovely and clean, would have been nice to stay longer and enjoy it.

Think it looks good in the photos? Wait til you see it in person! Incredible value for money in Auckland, Very quiet and secluded away from the Main Street. I highly recommend staying here!

great communication. very comfortable. extremely tidy. had everything for a home feel.

Zaid and Priya have a stunning studio apartment close to the airport. We were very comfortable and would definitely stay again.

Very nice and comfortable apartment with a great view on the city.

Priya was very helpful. Our stay was very comfortable and easy to navigate.

The studio is spacious, with off the street parking.

Yve and Alan are the best! They were super helpful and nice to us! 5 Stars for the hosts themselves:) The apartment is beautiful, the pool clean and nice for a swim. The view is beautiful and everything you need is there (equipment, kitchen, etc) as wished and expected. They offered us a lot of help and we felt very welcomed. Stay safe and healthy!!

Lovely place to stay in quiet suburb of Auckland

Lovely studio with great views of the bay. Really comfortable accommodation, great shower, bed and linen - wound highly recommend. Excellent bus service if you don’t have a car into city. Yve was a great host. , you cannot go wrong with choosing this Airbnb.

Beautiful place: the suite is cozy and inviting. The bed was comfortable and provided restful sleep. Views were amazing and the nearby track was a great walk. Highly recommended.

Lovely and clean. Would highly recommend.

Yve's place was the perfect place to spend the last few days of our holiday. The accommodation is spacious, clean and very comfortable. Yve kindly left us breakfast provisions. The location is great for leaving your car and catching a bus straight into the centre of Auckland - bus stop less than 5 minutes walk away.

A very lovely space and location. The pool adds an extra dimension although we didn't use it. The bed was very comfortable and the living and dining facilities were great. The internet and TV worked well. The kitchen is a bit awkward across from the bathroom but there was a sliding door which could separate the two. The cooking facilities were a simple two burner hot plate which was adequate but not great as the counter space was limited.

The apartment is amazing! The view over the sea is superb, the pool is big enough for nice swimming under the sun. The apartment has everything and is a nice place to relax after visiting the city centre or the beach.

It was awesome to stay here! Everything was clean and cozy. I thank them for everything.

Great location and very responsive hosts

The accommodation is very clean and spacious. The beds are super comfortable. Ideal if you have to go to the airport.

A very convenient and comfortable little space. Very accurate to the pictures, very clean and the check in process was a breeze!

Perfect spot near the airport for an overnight stay.

Great place to stay at

This AirBnB was so cozy! We were provided cereal, fresh milk, water, tea, and coffee. It was in a convenient area for us as well. If you stay here, be sure to check out Villa Maria (about 10km away) :)

Awesome stay kind, thoughtful hosts. Easy to find. Great!

The house is clean and tidy, the bed is very comfortable, and the owner is also very hospitable. There are a lot of free seasonings and drinks in the restaurant, and there are many things left by other travelers to use. Very nice stay experience!

Kathy’s home is a true gem just as advertised. A beautiful historic home with a view of the harbor and full of antiques. Glenda the manager was there and was extremely helpful and friendly. There is a big front porch that half wraps around as well as a large deck off the big eat in kitchen. A great stay and value.

Trafalgar House is absolutely lovely, everyone is super friendly, and it’s a great place to stay if you’re visiting the Auckland area! It’s also close to the airport which is fantastic!

This place was perfect and the support from Kathy & Glenda was very felt. Thank you guys for looking after me & my friend! Would def recommend this place to other women wanting to stay!

I really love this place as it gives warm n cozy feel with a very positive vibes.

This place is nice and clean with great kitchen and laundry facilities. It’s quite easy to get to by public transport both from the centre of town and the airport and there are great sunset views over Auckland’s suburbs. Overall I enjoyed my stay here and there are shops and eateries not too far away. It does take over half an hour to get into central Auckland but the calm space more than makes up for it. Thanks to Kathy and Glenda for being lovely and accommodating hosts!

Lovely heritage house. Recommend.

It’s a very lovely home with antiques and everything is clean, tidy and welcoming. I did. Or meet the hosts but they were very communicative and easily reachable as well as accommodating. I would rent again.

I always enjoy staying at Sara’s place because I get a good nights sleep, the place is clean and tidy, located conveniently near to my work and Sara is a lovely host. Highly recommended.

Sara’s house is easy to stay at and well situated in Auckland being better the city and the airport. Sara kindly had breakfast cereal and toast etc for our breakfast which was a really nice and easy for us. The house is in a quiet location, very clean and comfortable.

We were only here for one night and we were in and out pretty quickly due to being so busy, but our host was very understanding and hospitable. She let us use her washer & dryer, had towels for us to use (which was great, because we'd forgotten ours!) and the house was very tidy. Our rooms were very stylish, clean and high quality. The bedrooms both had their own fans, bedside tables, lamps and heaters. I would definitely stay here with this host again and would recommend it to others.

Great host, very quick to respond and has a great space for guests. The location is central for bus, train and motorway access and the local village has some great places to eat within easy walking distance . Both my wife and I have stayed here separately for work and would be very happy to come back next time either of us is in Auckland.

Sara’s house is very immaculately presented and easy to locate with her great instructions. Location is within walking distance to Ellerslie shops, train station, and bus stop. Very lovely host who gives you your space. Rooms and bathroom etc spectacular and loved the idea of the USB ports in the lamps. AAA+++

We only stayed one night to catch a plane. The place was great for that purpose.

A conveniently located accommodation. Clean, modern and with a friendly hostess.

This property is in a great location, just off the motorway and close to other transport links, but also quiet and peaceful. Sara has thought of everything you might need during your stay. It was great to have use of the kitchen too. The room and bathroom immaculately clean and very well presented. Sara is a very friendly helpful host and also respectful of privacy. Couldn't ask for any more in a host.

Beautiful place with everything you need for a little getaway from it all. From the gumboots to bathbombs it was a lovely stay.

Gorgeous place to stay!

This place is a definite treasure and so are Stu and Kim. We spent our last night here of the 4 weeks we spent in New Zealand and we could easily have been happy spending a whole week just exploring their farm. We definitely plan on returning here next time we are in New Zealand.

Stu and Kim’s property is absolutely gorgeous and so thoughtfully decorated, with personal touches everywhere that make the space feel more comfortable without clutter. The view is even more amazing than we anticipated from the photos! And the hospitality was unparalleled - Stu and Kim shared their farm fresh products with us, including milk and cream, eggs, butter, and tomatoes we picked ourselves from behind the house! We would absolutely recommend this space if you’re looking for a relaxing getaway in beautiful countryside.

As described .. a wonderful place to get away from it all , or as much as you need too . Would love to go back , when possible

This was such an amazing place to spend our valentines day! The place had amazing little touches and Stu and Kim were great hosts. So many of our friends have asked us for a link to this cottage and we will be back for sure too!

This place is definitely the diamond in the ruff. I’ve stayed in Airbnb’s for a few years now and this has got to be my favorite stay by far. You can’t help but to fall in love with this cute and cozy space. Stu and Kim are the most hospitable host with an amazing story to finish it all off. I would recommend this place to everyone. Can’t wait to stay again.

The vacation from the vacation that we needed! After driving around in a campervan like crazy people this was an unbelievably beautiful place to rest and relax. The pictures do not do the view justice and the bath tub is just as great as you would imagine. Kim left some homemade brownies, fresh fruits, farm milk and cream as well as eggs for us. Overall an amazing experience, a prominent highlight of our trip !

There’s a personal touch in each corner of this little shelter. It’s grate. Amazing. Was the best experience I’ve ever had. Looking forward to have time enough and come back again.

Awesome space for a weekend off the grid!

Exceptional accommodation to escape from the city. Super nice place to enjoy the night sky. Stylish place indeed!

Great place, host is beautiful.

A totally magical little escape, we cooked every meal over over the pot belly fire and lost ourselves in the silence of the bush. Perfect place to slow down and take stock, definitely recommend :) :)

Beautiful location & great unique facilities available on site. Best location on get away, I have visited this property second time in less than 3 months and I highly recommend to visit you all.

Fantastic stay, super relaxing

Booked this place for my son and his girlfriend. They loved it.

Great stay, great looks and a nice garden to be outside.

Amazing place, great hosts. Honestly this is the best place in town. The hosts are very thoughtful with the space, it's very well stocked, clean, serene, can't ask for much better. Thank you for my stay!

Beautiful, clean, comfortable stay. If we’re ever in the area again, we will definitely choose to stay here!

Clean, quiet spacious flat with all that you need, nothing missing. Area is quiet yet close to Auckland, nice walks nearby, groceries and cafes nearby. Host is friendly, quick to reply. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

This place is the best. Every single positive thing that has been said in the reviews prior are all true. Everything was simply outstanding. We would definitely return and also recommend to our friends.

This is such a wonderful accommodation unit. My parents are in their 80s and just love looking out at the Countryview, the unit is very spacious very very clean! My grandson joined us this time and told his parents that when they come over from Perth, they must stay at this Airbnb. Thanks again Yolanda and family. We will see you again soon.

Amazing, amazing and even more amazing. Yolanda place is clean, practical, user-friendly,excellent location and absolutely beautiful. Great attention to detail and perfect for a couple or family. The place is sparkling clean and plenty of space to feel at home and comfortable. Yolanda is an amazing host that was always available to help. We loved our stay and will be back.

10/10 would stay again. Clean and very modern. Comfy bed and nice facilities. Nice people too!

We had a great stay at Trevor’s place. It’s in a very peaceful location with lovely walking tracks along the waters edge nearby. There was cereal, milk, bread and spreads provided. Trevor was most accomodating of our very late arrival and also flexible about check out time.

We were only staying for one night while passing thru so Trevor’s place was in a perfect location for us. Check in was super easy, it was very clean and tidy. They also left some tea,coffee, milk, and other little snacks which was great. Trevor and Renee were great lovely hosts and we were super happy with everything thanks again!

Perfect for what was needed. Nice and quiet area with plenty of privacy.

Trevor is a great host the place is Ia great location with beaches and parks literally on thedoorstep highly recommend

Really good host, good place, clean, and Trevor are very nice. Access at a little park near to the house, it's a good place for your arrival at Auckland! I recommend it!!

Trevor and Renee were lovely hosts, the place was very conveniently located for me as friends are in Drury.

Nice little spot to stay a night, thank you.

Location is in a quite part of town well away from the city center so you need a car. There is great access you can drive right up to your room for unloading your bags. The room is big with comfy chairs and a settee there also a small table to dine on. The private bathroom is small but has everything you need,and the shower is American style Niagra flow. There is also a well equipped kitchen with a nice fridge toaster and kettle. Trevor thoughtfully supplies tea coffe bread and milk to get you going. A really great welcome thoughtful extras an atentive but not overbearing host,what more do you want?

Really great value for money. Very accomodating host.

Awesome little cottage to get away from the city. Very clean, awesome shower and outside bath. Beds were very comfy, but the best part is getting up early and watching the sunrise

Absolutely amazing stay!! So lovely to communicate with and even gave us a late check out as a wedding present! So thoughtful. Cottage was absolutely stunning and clean! Will definitely be back xx

Linda's cottage is honestly the best. The kitchen, the Lounge and that shower!! Was the best shower ever! We loved the views and the cows. It felt very homey and we loved extra little touches to go above and beyond. Thank you again!!

This is our second visit to New Zealand, this time traveling with a complete family. After 20 days we'll return home hopeful that we will relive the experience of our original visit. We're well on our way to exceeding the memories and experiences gained from the first visit, kicked off with a stay at Linda's place. Linda's place has us completely spoiled rotten for accommodation excellence. Here is why. The location - close enough to Auckland site seeing, but far enough away to enjoy the serenity of the cottage The checkin - enter the code, flip the lever grab the key and enter. easy peezy. The kitchen - has everything a family would need to cook in comfort. The living area - super comfy, super clean, quick and easy access for an attached deck. The bathroom - layout was awesome. clean, I mean clean. Walk-in shower with dual heads, water pressure for days and a tankless water heater delivers heat quick and on-demand The bedrooms - super comfy queen mattresses and linen combination help you float to sleep. A deck is attached to each bedroom with views of the farm from the master. The views - picture perfect, picturesque, serene, can't turn your eyes away beauty The grapes - upon request we were allowed to pick grapes from the vineyard. They are a delicious breakfast or driving snack while out an around Auckland. The entertainment - yes there was entertainment! newly born calf's romped through the fields seemingly playing tag. Providing teachable moments to children or belly laughter almost on demand. Yes watching baby cows chase each other is hilarious and surprising because they're really "fast"!! The people - Linda and her husband are special in the best possible way. I consider it a privilege to have met them. Both making my family feel welcome and appreciated. Respect earned Linda. Linda's cottage is more than a diamond in the rough. More like a jewel amongst un-cut diamonds. Do I have any critiques? Only for myself, that I didn't book more days in this location. it's just that endearing. Next trip to New Zealand I hope the cottage is available to us again. Cheers

Linda is incredible. She was very accommodating and very quick to respond with any questions, also flexible with check-in and check-out time, which was extremely helpful. The place was very clean and had all of the necessities for a few night stay. P.S. Thanks heaps for grapes and cart ride

A gorgeous cottage inside and out, with a v accomodating host. We felt like new travellers after staying a night and would love to return one day if we can. Thoughtful things like toys for kids were most appreciated!!

Kids had the best time, it was such a great way to start our family holiday!

Good price, friendly and helpful host

Nice cabin with wooden deck, garden furniture and great view in nature . We missed nothing and felt comfotable all times. Would come again after covid19.

Great place, nice location! Thank you for a nice stay.

Perfect little spot, peaceful with a great view of the country side from the deck. Nice and clean and beautifully presented.

Clean and easy to use space.

Victor’s place was clean, comfortable and quiet.

Elly and Bruce are fantastic hosts! Made us feel right at home during the covid-19 pandemic. I recommend staying at their comfy home to anyone looking for a place near the airport!

Wonderful people, wonderful place - don't miss this one!

A very lovely home attended for a lovely couple. They went further helping us with recomendations and taking us to the train station. I would return a thousand times, I'm very grateful.

Elly and Bruce were very friendly, kind and hospitable. We felt at ease immediately and really enjoyed their company. The room was lovely, comfy bed, very quiet and peaceful. And the deck with it's stunning views was a real treat. Bruce even provided transport for us at minimal cost. Thankyou both for making our childfree weekend a great one!

Elly and Bruce are so lovely. They helped us with our itinerary and gave us some “in”! We had an issue with our clothes in our luggage and they let us use their washing machine. Even Bruce hanged the clothes outside to make them dry ! Lovely!

it´s perfect, the comibination of a nice and helpfull couple, the location and these just close to the airpoart

Very well

Lovely setting with great views. We really enjoyed the walkway on the doorstep

Great hospitality. Private room to rest with a comfy bed and ensuite.

An ideal place for a short stay in Auckland. Conveniently located a short drive from the airport, very private room with large clean ensuite, comfy bed. Kettle appreciated.

Great place for a great price. Stayed here after a late flight and it was perfect

Thank you.

Very clean self contained bedroom + bathroom! Coffee and tea are provider. Check in is super easy and Aman is lovely!

Very nice and tidy

So nice and cosy studio, you’ll have there everything what you need, including private bathroom and coffee. Clean and worth every dollar!

Amandeep's place was nice and tidy and we enjoyed our stay very much. The location was easy to get to and our hosts were quick to respond to any questions we had. Will definitely stay here again in the future

From the moment I walked through the door I felt welcome. Iresh and his lovely family were there if I needed anything at all. I had the feeling of being in a luxurious hotel inside of a suburban family home. If anyone is looking for a beautiful stay without the hassle this is certainly the complete comfort spot. Would gladly book again.

Great host! Iresh has a lovely family and the super cute daughter! We made the booking kind of late because our original plan was camping (changed due to weather concerns). Anyway the room is very clean and it was lovely to talk to his cute daughter xD. They even shared that they’ve got AirBnB in Sri Lanka, where we definitely will go!

Nice place

The best budget place to stay in Karaka

It was a great staying. The place was very clean and spacious. Host and family was very friendly.

Absolutely the best experience in an Air BnB!!!! Can’t begin to recommend how genuine they are and treat you like family!!! Love time and felt welcomed and safe in their house!!!!!!

A nice place, everything is wonderful. Thanks for all the family. My daughter loves this place so much.

The room is in a nearly new home, spotlessly clean and very conveniently situated. We appreciated the bottle of water and glasses on the bedside table together with the power board which was so handy for charging devices. The bathroom was very stylish with an excellent shower. The toilet was separate. We were welcomed very nicely and shown where everything is. Just st nearby is an excellent restaurant and an organic grocery/butchery with wonderful coffee and pastries. Great place.

nice stay!!! Me and my friend would definitely recommend it.

We used their house as a transit and that was a great decision.quite near from the airport and very calm area.also they’re so nice and friendly ppl so definitely recommend! Oh and friendly cute cats as well :)

It’s one of the nicest house of the street, the location is good for catching an early flight in the morning.

Nikki’s place was great, and she was a very responsive host. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a convenient place close to the Auckland airport.

The best for your money! Had a great rest.

I only met Nikki and her partner briefly and they are super awesome friendly people! I enjoyed my stay! They were away so they were cool for us to make ourselves like home. I had the whole private room to myself and was quiet with another traveller who was in the other room. They also have 2 cats which are the sweetest so friendly! Kept me company, and also a cool chicken! The house was nice and clean and has the daily essentials you need :)

We had a great stay! Nice and clean place close to the airport (15min with the bus) Would recommend :)

absolutely awesome, and very clean, very tidy, and very friendly people, could not have had a more better experience anywhere else... thank you guys for haveing me over and everything..

Chandika’s lovely home is truly a nice family home. Highly recommend it. The home was super clean and nice. I had the washroom to myself. He also give me good local info.

Amazing accommodation, very friendly hosts, highly recommended

Booked the place for my friend traveling to Sydney, very accommodating, quick responses, and all round very plesent experience.

Lovely people, very friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay here again

Crystal is a responsive host and the apartment is immaculate, I recommend it for your next trips

Excellent place to stay! The space is very clean and has all of the utilities you would need. Location is handy, very close to shops/train station. Crystal is an excellent host.

Clean, quite and just what i needed. Close to shops and publiv transport. Definitely recommend

Great place. Nice comfy bed and well equipped kitchen was much appreciated!

Great location and stay for a short period of time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for affordable, comfortable, clean and tidy home. Crystal is a great host, approachable and easy to talk to. I like the fact that it is near to the airport and an easy exit to the city.

Wayne and Jessie were great hosts. The space is very nice - beautiful garden and comfortable bed. We would stay here again!

A great place, perfectly located for access to Auckland by train or car and to explore the coastal towns, an award winning restaurant across the road, 5 minutes to an(Irish) pub and 10 minutes to a supermarket. The accommodation is very clean, spacious and functional with plenty of room inside and out and every thing you need for comfortable stay. Wayne and Jessie are great hosts, very friendly, lots of local and nz knowledge and a real pleasure to be with. We will meet again. jiM

Beautiful people who went out of their way to cater for our every need. The beds were comfortable azz and the gentle night breeze helped us to have many nights of wonderfully deep sleep. Wayne and Jessie gave awesome knowledge about the local area and gave personal insight into anything about Auckland that we tourists were unsure of. Highly recommend, definitely value for money. We'll be back if our daughter doesn't have her own place on our next NZ visit. ❤❤

If you are looking for a quiet relaxing spot away from the hustle of Auckland but still close by this is your spot. Relax in the plentiful outdoor seating and country atmosphere.

It is a amazing place, so beautiful and comfortable, and Wayne & Jessie is so friendly! Thanks so much! Good completely beyond expectations, the environment is quiet and beautiful, the accommodation is clean and comfortable, the service is warm and thoughtful, all the supplies are available, and the host often chats with us. Sincere thanks to Wayne & Jessie!

Comfortable and spacious! Best for small groups of friends :)

Wayne and Jessie are amazing friendly hosts. The unit had kitchenette microwave fridge freezer but no stove top but we didn't need it anyway. Our 4 year old loved the playground, and saying good morning daily to Wayne and Jessie. Beautiful place to stay and close to the motorway so easy to get around. Highly recommend and will make sure to stay again if we are in the area.

Beautiful place great location. Wayne & Jessie are incredible hosts they go out of their way to make you feel at home.

Perfect location, pleasant stay, very friendly and helpful owner, overall a great accomodation.

Nice place to stay with a decent kitchen and bathroom. Comfy bed and easy check in process

We booked this stay last minute when our car broke down and were grateful to find it. It’s at the end of a quiet street and offered a full kitchen with a good selection of kitchenware (do bring your own oils/salt), a tidy bedroom and clean shared bathroom (the whole apartment is dedicated to Airbnb). It’s possible to get into town via public transit but give yourself a couple hours, or there’s free parking right out front. Self check in was easy and the host’s response was very prompt.

Everything in our imagination was stunning! The countryside, the pool, the tennis court, our hosts ... but in our imagination it sadly remained ... Coronavirus sent the country into lockdown and we never made it to Karaka! We look forward to coming as soon as we're allowed to travel again!

We travel a lot and have been travelling NZ for 7 weeks. Best AirBnB we have ever stayed at. Perfectly clean, great view from the terrace, kind and helpful host, nice interior arranged with a lot of love, well equipped kitchen. Would definitely come back and recommend to good friends and family.

This is such a luxurious getaway. Beautifully appointed, and full of welcoming touches. Deb was a gracious host. This is so much better than we were expecting, and made for a lovely quiet escape.

Whether you are heading to the airport the next day or coming in from a long flight, or just need a little holiday- this is a great oasis. Deb and Sandy have thought of everything to make your experience relaxing and memorable! From the appointments to bucolic setting this is a 10 out of 10!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Beautiful spot with everything in the house you can wish for. Real good spot to relax after of before a flight, just 30 minutes from the airport.

Deb’s place is amazing! One of our best Airbnb experiences in NZ. It was just what we needed after a hectic time traveling & getting away from the city. Tennis court was a welcome bonus too! Very welcoming, friendly & everything you need is there! Highly recommend!

We spent our last night in Auckland at Deb’s place - wish we could have stayed longer! It was so beautiful and serene! The cottage and the property were absolutely gorgeous and Deb went above and beyond with every little personal touch and attention to detail in the cottage. We were greeted by their adorable chocolate lab, Ivy when we got in. She was so cute! We also got to meet Mr. Darcy, the horse and Charlotte, the pig. Meeting them all was definitely another great highlight. Overall our stay was just perfect!! Definitely our best stay during our time in New Zealand!! Gorgeous! Thank you, Deb!

This is such a beautiful little sanctuary to relax and recharge. The cottage is gorgeous, cozy and quiet, and Deb's many little touches were so appreciated and made our stay even better than we could have hoped! Thank you!

Lawrence is a very nice person, who really takes care of his guests. You can always get in contact with him and he always walked the extra mile to make our stay as comfortable as possible (during the Corona situation / Level 4 lock-down in New Zealand). I will definitely stay at this place again, if i should get back one day.

Very clean and comfortable house for a short stay

It was a really nice place for stay 2 nights in their accommodation. Beds are really comfortable and there is everything you need. Just WiFi didn’t work very well. Thank you for your Fidji Drink it was very cool :)

Very good value place to stay and a great location near the airport. Comfy beds and we'll equipped

A great little find. Very cosy and calming space and a great first stop after our flight 😊

Comfy beds, tidy, close to Botanic gardens

Such an amazing wee home, super clean and spacious it has everything we need during our stay. You have your full privacy and very secure as well. Lawrence is a thoughtful super host with care ♡ we're definitely back.

Excellent value and communication from the host. Excellent place to stay when flying in or out of Auckland :)

Diane is a fantastic host!

Diane is a very kind host who really took care of us. The unit was private and had everything we needed. Well located.

Diane is amazing. I was on a cycling tour of New Zealand that was suddenly turned upside down by the need for Canadians and others to return to their home countries due to Covid-19. She was extraordinarily helpful with the logistics of my unplanned return. I can’t thank her enough or praise her enough. Diane is good people.

Great place to stay. Very convenient for airport transfers. Clean, comfy and nicely decorated. Diana is a great host. Pets are very friendly :)

Thank you for accommodating us in your lovely piece of paradise, very friendly and great communication, great space and perfect proximity to Ardmore airfield. Look forward to staying again. Thanks again

Charming, cozy, clean and bright. Exactly what we needed.

Highly recommended the facilities were great the host superb ,great place to have a spare wheel changed Garden will occupy you for hours

Another great stay with Diane. My husband is a regular and can’t fault the accommodation and hospitality :)

What a little gem. Lovely, stylish cabin, great for short stop over. Don't hesitate just click.

ideal location for our trip,friendly hosts great space

The room was very clean, the fridge was stocked with cold water and tea and coffee was available to us. We had a great stay here with Pauline, far exceeded our expectations.

Another lovely little stay at Little Montrose - a relaxing place to work from!

Very private cabin, nice breakfast, quiet.

A well organised self contained space set in a lovely garden, with lots of thoughtful touches for breakfast. Pauline was a great host providing just the right amount of information for us to easily find our way about. Will certainly book again, great value and well located when travelling south.

Cosy private spot

Lovely little spot, very quiet and nice listening to the bird song. Pauline gives privacy but is also very responsive via Airbnb messages. Can't fault anything.

I stayed at Kakariki Cottage for 14 days, self-isolating after getting out of the UK and back to my home country during the escalation of the Covid-19 crisis in late March 2020. I couldn't have picked a better spot to de-stress and spend two weeks. Little touches made all the difference, like some ginger crunch (iconic NZ cake) in the fridge, immaculate bathroom and a super cosy bed on the inside, and sitting out on the deck in the sun meeting the occasional wandering sheep and watching native birds flitting through the trees, on the outside. Even the odd bit of rain was enjoyable when inside such a great little cottage, and night-times were so peaceful; despite the lure of the big TV I would often step out on the deck to look at the stars and listen to distant Ruru (native owls). I also got to know Nathan, Courtney and their neighbours, chatting over the fence from a safe distance, so it certainly didn't feel like 'isolation'. If the weather is good and you have sturdy walking shoes, ask about going for a wander around the farm and pocket of native bush, especially if you're a keen photographer. I didn't get beyond some walking around the local country roads, but I do know from previous experience living near this area that the farmers market and waterfalls etc as recommended by the notes in the accommodation are well worth a visit. One day I hope that some friends from the UK will visit me in NZ and I can send them to Kakariki Cottage too.

It was an excellent stay, beautiful cottage with great views and location close to pretty much anything you need in Auckland. It's been the best equipped Airbnb we've stayed at ever and the most peaceful too. At the time of writing the coronavirus lockdown of New Zealand was in place, we were stuck without our essentials, Nathan & Courtney lent us their things, delivered and offloaded all without asking for anything, really amazing people!! Would give 10/5 stars if possible.

A big thank you to Nathan and Courtney for their amazing hospitality! We loved staying in the stylish accommodation for our wedding night and really loved the special touches such as little chocolates, a note and the above and beyond offer of a late check out. The bed is so comfy and the fridge was well stocked with beautiful produce and treats for us to enjoy. We would highly recommend anyone to stay here!

This is a very private unit in the near Auckland countryside. We loved it. Fully equipped including breakfast making. The espresso maker was an added bonus. We recommend it.

Great place, will definitely go back again. All that we expected and more! Comfy bed, clean, nice touches -as the fudge in the fridge!. Nice remote cottage, quiet, it was nice to have breakfast outside...

The cottage is unique and pretty cool. I like that sheep are nearby. We drove to the wrong driveway (oops!) so be sure to look for the white sign posted on fence/rail that says “KAKARIKI COTTAGE”. :) The firefly lights in tree at night to indicate the turn for the driveway are helpful and a nice touch. Huge, comfy bed - just what we needed after our travels. Only issue we had was that we were welcomed by a swarm of flies inside the cottage (at least 10 of them). They’re small but still nuisances. We used the bug spray but my boyfriend also spent a good bit of time killing them. Not sure if this is a common occurrence in NZ. Realized later on when we went upstairs for bed that the window up there was open prior to our arrival. Other than that, our stay was good! Nathan was responsive and communicated understandings.

Beautiful place to stay, super private and also very peaceful. Just a perfect little get away from busy city life.

A beautiful cottage in private surrounds. A place to relax and yet within easy driving distance to the city. We would definitely stay again.

Great! Everything was fine with Nikki! The communication in advance was relaxed, the check-in by the co-host was friendly and the later time with the hosts was very warm. We can absolutely recommend Nikki's accommodation!

Had a great stay with my girlfriend in the cabin. Very fast and clear communication. Tidy, cosy and quiet location to stay!

Had a great stay at Nikki’s. Quick and easy, right next the airport and all camper van rental sites. Easy checkin, great hospitality and all the essentials for a great price.

We got the 380 from airport, top of bader road, walked round couple of corners and soon we're in the room asleep, brilliant. Nice place, had good shower in morning, thanks Nikki.

I couldn’t be happier. Location was perfect. The bed is very comfortable. Easily accessible. No hassle. I was so lucky to have the sweetest kitty greet me as I arrived. I attended a concert at Villa Maria and just needed a comfortable bed to sleep in after, and that’s exactly what I got. Thank you!

Clean & tidy, perfect for an overnight stay before going to the airport

Airbnb confirms our expectations. Very practical in case of transit through Auckland

Really nice and calm spot close to the airport (just 30 minutes by bus plus a 10 minutes walk). Great after a long flight to rest before starting the travel through News Zealand .

Great bach right on the harbour with unobstructed views. Lots of stairs to access the home, but well worth it

nice and quiet place with a terrific see view

Lovely spot right on the water, perfect for our family to overnight in when we attended a wedding

Thanks heaps for accommodating us Frank & Lynette! We had a very pleasant stay and cannot wait to come back & tell all our friends about it. Your little place is a slice of paradise :) cheers

We really enjoyed our stay at Lynette and Frank's place. The views are beautiful and it was really nice sitting on the patio and hanging out.

Lynette and Frank's was wonderful! We had a peaceful and serene stopover here after landing in Auckland. It was a beautiful place to unwind. Lynette is a joy and the home was beautiful

Very pleasantly surprised as there is a much better beach outside than it shows in the photographs, although the only thing to take care of is, there are a lot of steps to get down to the property which might be difficult for some people. The apartment was very well equipped an the hosts friendly and helpful.

Neat place! Right on the water! Great to have a walk on the beach. Can watch the high/low tide! The place had what we needed (room for a family of 5) and had the amenities we needed. Incredibly close (2 min walk) to a liquor store and a take away location which had good food. There are lots of stairs to reach the location but if no mobility difficulties it would be just fine.
