Guest house holiday rentals in Bay Of Islands

Great little stay at the sleep out. Erika was very responsive to our questions. Kids loved being so close to the playground! Perfect for a little adventure.

This small cottage was everything we could have asked for, peaceful, beautiful surroundings and helpful, friendly hosts. The location is ideal most of Northland, including the Cape, East and West coasts. We would have no hesitation in going back when we next visit New Zealand, we left with still much to see and do. If you are staying over a weekend, the Kerikeri market on a Saturday morning is not to be missed.

Unfortunately a cyclone rolled through while I was staying at Vicki‘s place. I got to walk around the first day that I was there and enjoyed the house for an evening, but the power went out so I had to cut my stay short. When I woke up, Vicki had left pancakes and hot water for me to make coffee. She also gave me a refund for my second night. She had gone above and beyond to make my stay as enjoyable as it could be under the circumstances.

We had a fantastic couple of days staying at Kathy and Bryon’s. The food that was provided was very much appreciated and the place was clean and tidy as it looked in the pictures. You are only a couple of minutes walk from the beach and the local cafe which is very good. We would happily stay again.

Very comfortable little place with a ton of nice little touches like artwork, good appliances, comfortable outdoor seating. Very close to the beach and the estuary. Even if you aren't a dog person, the dogs are so well behaved and quiet, they occasionally will visit you and you can give them a pat if you like.

We had a wonderful stay! Easy check in and cottage was exactly as pictured. John was a wonderful host with suggestions to make our New Zealand holiday even better. Would highly recommend to others and would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at Lorna's place for our trip to the Poor Knights. Absolutely perfect spot to stay and explore around Tutukaka. Well set up with everything you could need. Would definitely stay again!

Great, knowledgeable host. pointed us int he right directions for great fishing locations, which was what we were there to do and has the best view. I could almost launch the boat from the deck. A+++

This location was excellent, it was close to the city center and all the attractions were easy to find. My mapping app was not correct, we ended up calling to find the correct directions. Host responded immediately and we arrived! I would stay here again if I return to Paihai. Charming rental and host.

Lovely to be met by Kat as we entered their property, very clean and cosy. Awesome access to the beach which was just fantastic. Lovely hosts....highly recommend.

Lovely place to stay for a few days. Very close to Kerikeri. The hosts house is very near by but it was very private and quiet. We didn't see or hear them at all. Very clean and tidy and lots of hot water for showers. Thank heavens for the heatpump as it was a rare very cold weekend in KK but we were warm in the unit. I would definitely stay here again above anywhere else in Kerikeri. We loved it.

Dream alert!!!! Absolutely stunning and one of our peak experiences of the year. Vanessa was so kind, generous and helpful and it really made our stay. A wonderful place to relax, recharge, connect with nature and to plan our vision for 2025. 100% recommend.

We loved staying at Debra’s guest studio apartment. Amazing views of the ocean and forest from the entire unit. It had everything k needed to cook dinner. It is 5 minutes from the bay of islands marina and boat yard and was so nice to stay there while our sailboat was in the boatyard. Highly recommend and hope to be back.

John is amazing friendly and very kind, he was helpful with what to do around the area. The place neat and tidy with beautiful surroundings. I will most definitely recommend this place suitable for couple and retreats. thank you John for making me feel safe and right at home.

We had a wonderful 10 days here It is a beautiful place to stay with everything you need Jill is a great host and made us feel very welcome

Another great stay at Amy's. Clean, convenient, comfortably warm thanks to the heat pump. Beautiful outlook from loft bedroom into the trees, and Piwakawaka flying around.

Unforgettable Stay at Cable Bay! My husband and I had such an incredible time at this beachfront Airbnb that we ended up extending our trip—honestly, we just didn’t want to leave so we extended our stay and extra day! The property offers stunning views of the ocean and provides direct access to the best beach in the area. Rosemary and Brian were fantastic hosts from the moment we arrived, greeting us warmly and ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Their thoughtful recommendations on local dining spots and nearby attractions really enhanced our experience. The location is perfect—there’s a fantastic fishery and a charming dairy just around the corner, so everything you could need is within easy reach. We truly had an unforgettable time and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend this hidden gem at Cable Bay!

Michelle was extremely kind to us. she was accompanying and welcoming. such a beautiful spot in my favorite part of NZ. thanks for letting us stay in your unit.

this is the second time our boys have stayed they love how cozy it is and all the added touches. thanks for having them!

This was our second stay. Our previous stay was about 3 months ago. Would definitely stay here again. Denise and Craig are wonderful friendly people and the home is quite comfortable, peaceful and quiet. My husband visited the sheep every morning and evening. We looked for the rabbits every time we drove the driveway and evening saw them in the backyard a few times.

Atina was super helpful and accommodating. Grate communication with any queries. Place was perfect for my Hubbie and had everything he needed for the weeks stay. We will be back as a family next time for sure.

We had a great stay at Tania & Steve’s place, unfortunately it was only for one night. The studio was quiet and well equiped with everything we needed. It was clean, nicely furnished and included little extras like home baked bread, cereals, fruit, milk & butter. Both Tania and Steve were very friendly and their communication was top notch. We would highly recommend.

Great place for a weekend away. Beautiful property and we loved the spa & sauna! Toa was responsive and helpful :)

Comfortable beds, very clean, had everything we needed for our family stay. We will definitely stay again!
