Cottage vacation rentals in Waikato

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Easy to find, stunning location, private, clean and tidy. Hosts were incredible, and always attentive and putting so much care and love into everything.

Great spot for a relaxing break with stunning views. Exactly as described and cosy during the storms. Baths were a nice additional and there were lots of nice touches with the muffins and the milk. Perfect for unwinding whilst not being too far from the city. Thanks for a great stay!

Such a beautiful home 'away from home' 😊 very cosy, clean and charming. Anything you would need has been thought of. Wonderful surroundings, private and peaceful. So tastefully put together. Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous place with us ☺️

We are beyond grateful for finding Nicolettes Airbnb to recharge our batteries. The location is so relaxing, we just chilled out and made home cooked dinners. Such a wonderful place for anyone looking to enjoy the scenery with your significant other. Such a wonderful stay!

Michele’s cottage is tucked in a quiet backyard, giving you full privacy. The outdoor hot tub was amazing! We really enjoyed this stay! Highly recommend it!

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage. It had everything you'd expect in a comfortable home, making us feel right at ease. The highlight was definitely the spa and the stunning lake view—especially when we caught a rainbow stretching across the water. Just breathtaking. I’d definitely recommend staying here!

Perfect spot for a relaxing wekend with friends. We loved how close it was to the beach and the bikes made it so easy to get around Omaha. Kate was super helpful and accommodating.

We had stayed at Linda's lovely cottage twice previously and it was great to be back again. Such a stylish comfortable cottage in a lovely peaceful location with a great outlook. Linda is an excellent host and we always feel very welcome.

Me and my friends spent a wonderful weekend in Taupo at Sally-Ann's place cooking, drinking tea, and listening to music (thanks for very clear instructions on the Chromecast!). We will carry great memories from the lake and nearby carvings we saw there. Despite the rainy weather, our stay was cozy - thank you for having us!

Absolutely gorgeous view! Beds were nicely made with mints and stuffed animals for the kids.

Great home in a great location! House had beautiful decor and everything we needed! Would definitely stay again.

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.

Tastefully renovated cottage with lovely wooden floors. Detail in funky crockery and glasses, everything you needed to make your own dinners, great selection of games, loved the detail of a coffee machine and beans to freshy grind. Beautiful and sunny out the front. Great back yard if you had young children to run around in.

Great location, very quiet, peaceful, had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting on the front patio and watching the sun set and birds and even a couple bunnies. House was very quiet and a great size for our family of three.

What a lovely stay with a great view over the hills. A very adequate kitchen, with bbq, plug in stove and all the essentials, as well as plenty of tea choices and some cereals. Would highly recommend.

A Peaceful and Authentic Farm Stay Experience with two great hosts either stunning night skies. Our stay at Sunday Country Cabin was truly magical! The peaceful countryside setting provided the perfect escape from city life. The cozy accommodations and warm hospitality from Gary & Michael made us feel right at home. Apart from the stunning views and absolute calmness, this place also provides a great flexibility to visit Rotorua and Tauranga both in a single day, which is of course a cherry on top. Nights were especially breathtaking—calm, quiet, and perfect for stargazing. With no city lights around, the sky lit up beautifully, making for an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a serene retreat with stunning night views, this is the place to be. We can’t wait to return!

I needed a place that was peaceful and would allow me to recover and this beautiful cottage provided me with that and more. With a beautiful view from every window and the only sounds being the bird song and the breeze in the trees, it was a perfect place for me to re-energise and refuel. I highly recommend this cottage and the care of the hosts. There was also a much appreciated bag of fresh fejoas and apples - truly spoilt!

Great stay in unique cozy home. Full of character and charm that you’d expect of a place like this. Comfortable beds. The washing machine was great to have. Nadia is very responsive and thoughtful. Left a little Easter treat for us! Walkable to grocery store. It’s a fair walk to Eat Streat etc, but we either ubered or drove. We recommend it for a cottage-like unique stay.

We loved staying at Alison and Marc's place. The house was very comfortable and in such a truly beautiful location by the lake. What made made it very special though was how kind and hospitable Alison and Marc were, over and above what we have experienced before. They were also very quick to respond when we needed help. We had been given all the information in the first place but were having a simple moment and they sorted us out!

Had a relaxing stay! My husband, friends and I really enjoyed it. The surrounding nature/garden was serene and the place itself was so nice and clean. Definitely recommend for a chill getaway!

Lovely cottage to stay in. We love the colors and all the decorations inside. Deborah is super friendly. We felt right at home. Recommend to all!

Ours was a return trip and it was easily as good as our excellent first stay. We are already planning our next visit - for us it ticks all the boxes and really is a very friendly, comfortable home-from-home. Gillian and Steve are wonderful hosts and always there to provide the best advice on what was happening in the area. We can't recommend them highly enough.

Despite only staying one night in Kakariki cottage we thoroughly enjoyed our time there and wished we could have stayed longer! The cottage is absolutely lovely and features a well-appointed kitchen, a cosy living space and a spacious bathroom. We loved the open mezzanine for the bedroom! The surroundings are gorgeous and very peaceful. Having your morning coffee on the terrace is a must. Breakfast essentials are provided. Thanks Courtney for the lovely stay!

The cottage was very cosy and the property was so beautiful (the stream running through has fish and crayfish!) The views to the cliffs are incredible and the stargazing from the deck is spectacular. The cottage is the perfect distance from town if you want a country stay with easy access to activities. Hosts provide everything you could need and were very accomodating, letting us book another night very last minute.
