Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Te Arai

We had a wonderful weekend away at Nikki’s classic kiwi bach! The location is so beautiful, and it was great to be right on the waterfront. The Bach is lovely and had everything we needed for a great stay. I only wish that we could have stayed longer! Nikki is a friendly, helpful and responsive host. Hopefully we will get to come back again one day!

Staying at this place for a couple of months, feels like my home away from home. Living room, kitchen and bathroom are all great. Bobbie responds quickly to any requests with good information.

Thank you we really enjoyed staying at Red Beach. We would stay here again. Host were great.

I booked on behalf of work colleagues and they had a very comfortable stay. Thanks for the prompt communication and wonderful home for the guys to relax in after work.

Back again! It’s a great place with incredible views out to the Barriers. Simple but stylish with plenty of tools in the kitchen to knock up a great feed, and, the best slumber with the comfiest of beds. I reckon we’ll be back!

A great spot for the night. Had everything we needed

Beautiful spot in Mangawhai, views from the kitchen and lounge areas are amazing. The home was spotless and is the perfect venue for exploring everything that Mangawhai has to offer. Great value for money and I would definitely recommend.

Great location close to the beach. But also a great place to hang around and relax with family and friends. The backyard has a lovely garden and plenty of room for the kids to run around, and the house is well equipped with just about everything you need. Would love to come back and stay again sometime. thanks!

This is a fantastic place for the family to spend the holiday. It is immaculate and big, which suits a family's special occasion. We love the place, especially our kids, who enjoyed the swimming and spa pools. Not only that, but it is so close to the beach for swimming and surfing. There is a local park and soccer field that we usually walk to play or exercise. Lisa is a friendly host who responds promptly if we need help. This is one of the best holiday homes available in the area, and we would love to return there. It is very secure and private for us visitors. We extended our visit for another day as we all enjoyed and loved the place and the area. There were 10 of us altogether, and it was worth the money we paid, and I highly recommend this place. Thank you so much, Lisa.

It was a great stay and the hosts were very friendly and helpful to make sure we had everything we needed. Despite a couple of widespread power outages, the hosts still made sure our stay was as undisturbed as possible. And made sure we had power and a warm stay through bad weather. And they even offered for us to move or cancel before hand knowing the weather and the risks that we due.

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 loved this Ruakaka holiday home. It was so warm and homely with a perfect layout, super clean, comfy beds and we loved the set up of the garage. Even though the weather wasn't great, we jumped in the pool. This place would be so epic in summer. Sarah was the perfect host, super responsive.

We were surprised how peaceful the property was, considering we were in Auckland, coming from a rural home it was nice and relaxing, just sitting around enjoying what the property had to offer. Grant was exceptionally proactive and professional with his communication and we felt comfortable if we had any questions, queries or concerns we could rea h out without any bother. Overall great place to meet up with family and lived ones for a get away.

The home was absolutely perfect. The setting was beautiful and the house itself was clean and well kept (not to mention, the beautiful interior decor). The hosts were amazing in their communication, accomodating and exercised flexibility to specific requests of mine, which I hugely appreciated. I had all the information I needed upon checking in and felt very comfortable reaching out with any questions I had on my stay. I had a rather large group stay at the place so the cottage next to the main home was a winner, allowing for space and privacy amongst a big group. The spa pool and plunge pool was a treat with a stunning view and lots of grass area outside for the kids and pets to run around and play. I would highlight recommend this home to anyone looking for somewhere clean, beautiful location with ocean views and friendly and accomodating hosts. Thanks again Wayne and Lesley for opening up your beautiful home to us. Would love to stay again at some point.

Shivani is an absolutely delight and a fantastic host! The description and pictures represented the beautiful and tastefully decorated home to perfection. It was really a home away from home. Beautiful location, gorgeous views and incredibly well maintained property and home. Thank you Shivani, for your generous hospitality, warm and helpful nature and being so incredibly responsive. We will definitely be visiting again! Perfect family getaway :) 10/10 all round!

Upmarket accommodation in a great location. We loved the espresso machine for a coffee first thing in the morning; and the spa later in the day. Laurence is a very responsive host and clearly wants to make sure guests have everything they need to enjoy their stay. We'd look to stay here again in future.

Fabulous host - clean apartment and very well stocked

The place was great, very clean and organized with a great kitchen that is very well equipped! The kids really loved the place and we were very comfortable. Hosts were very flexible with accommodating our checkout time and were very communicative and nice Definitely coming back!

The hosts of Songbird Cottage have gone to a lot of trouble to make this place special. So many lovely features, both inside the cottage and around the grounds. One of the best instructions manuals we have encountered, including lots of great recommendations for local walks, attractions and eateries. Top marks.

I had a wonderful stay. Anette was responsive and clear with instructions, especially when the weather was so uncertain. The place was cozy and walking distance to the beach, which was perfect for our morning walks. Would come back again! Thanks

Beautiful, Private, Cozy. Great location, so close to the Airport and Shops. Everything we needed for breakfast. Marjorie was absolutely lovely. Will definitely stay again. 😊🖤

lovely and spacious place. very comfortable for the four of us. love the balcony where you can watch the beautiful sunrise! highly recommend!! good location, easy to find and easily accessible to the beach.

Of course we were blessed with good weather. That said this location was perfect for a couple of days out of Auckland. Wonderful view over the estuary. Margaret was very helpful without being obtrusive. Would be very happy to recommend this to others.

Thank you so much Samantha for the last minute stay. The airbnb was lovely and cosy, with everything you need. Samantha is a fab host and even offered us a late check out due to the weather warning.
