Waterfront holiday rentals in Doubtless Bay

This apartment was absolutely brilliant! We only meant to stay a few night but ended up staying more! Kelly was very helpful, and the apartment was perfectly placed in Russell. It had all of the amenities that we needed. We loved it! Thanks Kelly.

We hit the jackpot with Michaela and Dans place, a great place to stay for a bit while visiting bay of islands. We loved our stay here. Good location. Amazing appartement and views and great communication all around. Would recommend!

Wonderful hosts, stunning views, kitchen has everything you need and super comfy beds. We hope to return at some stage. The Bay of Islands is like the Caribbean of NZ. Marcel and Jo made us feel very welcome. Such an amazing place to stop and just enjoy nature while being 5 mins drive from Paihia. 💗

Enjoyed our stay, loads to do in the area, went to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, a must. The Te Kongahu museum explained the process and difficulties of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. Also spent a great day sailing around the bay with Carino on an Island & wildlife day cruise. Saw a pod of dolphins, rays, gannets and cormorants. Also snorkelled, walked up to an Island view point of the bay and had a BBQ highly recommend this tour if you want a gentler way to see the bay. Swiss Chalet was perfectly situated for all the fine restaurants, we managed a cloths wash with our rooms own washing machine and enjoyed the luxury of the air conditioning as the beginning of autumn was spectacularly warm

An absolute dream house! Stunning apartment with a gorgeous view. You definitely feel like spending a holiday with style :) Breakfast at Seaside restaurant are mind blowing! Best coffee in town. Plus! You get a discount :) We had the best time there. Will definitely recommend and we will repeat! Thanks!

Absolutely stunning Airbnb, one of if not the best we’ve ever stayed in (we’re doing a round the world trip so have stayed in a lot by now)! It was absolutely pristine, we felt like we were checking into a 5* hotel with the quality of the beds, linens, towels etc. It is genuinely nicer than the photos and more spacious, and it was so appreciated that Anita had some provisions and snacks like milk, chocolates, crisps and fruit there for us when we arrived. Anita is lovely and so friendly! She kindly greeted us at check in, showed us around and how everything works, and gave us some fantastic local recommendations which we did and thoroughly enjoyed, in particular the coastal trail to Paihia and getting the car ferry across the bay to go to Russell. The views over the bay, watching the boats come and go, are stunning. We didn’t use the BBQ that’s on the balcony but would have if we’d stayed longer, which I wish we had! Overall we couldn’t fault this place, and HIGHLY recommend staying

The Boathouse was in pristine condition and the view is stunning. We also loved watching the ferries come and go just outside. Beautiful run to Paihia and a walk back. Recommend The Blue Door in Paihia for breakfast.

This was the most lovely accommodation! It was clean, well-appointed, and had the most beautiful view of the Bay. Wendy communicated well, and provided easy instructions for entry into the car park, and from there, into the apartment. Our two night stay was extremely quiet, which we expected, given it's not the high season, yet there was still enough going on about town that we never wanted for something to do! The location was absolutely ideal, as all businesses were within very easy, close-in walking distance. Our only wish is that we could have stayed longer, and we'll definitely look to return!

If you want to relax in a warm home with amazing views, quiet and peaceful, this is the place. Literally a 2minute drive to Russell waterfront with the Duke of Marlborough and other restaurants to choose from. We loved it.

Gayleen’s house at Keri Keri has the most amazing scenic views and is a spacious, well set out house with every facility, equipment and extra toiletries, linen and kitchen consumables you could want. We had a large family gathering with lots of cooking and the kitchen was an absolute delight. The beds were very comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there despite not the best weather.

Incredible spot overlooking the ocean and Cavalli Islands. House is really well laid out for a mixed age group with one bedroom and lounge area seperate from main living. Plenty of parking and room for the boat, fishing was excellent! Great stay for a week.

Great family base for us, and a few steps to the beach

Vittoria is an excellent host. Great communication at all times. The accommodation was spotless with no issues at all. Can highly recommend this spot!!

We stayed over NY with this as a base for some great adventures and lots of seafood. The property manager Peter was very flexible and helpful. Bev next door was also amazing and very hospitable. Would have no hesitation in staying again! Thanks for an awesome trip.

We only stayed a night during our trip, but Allan has been so great with us, always available to help. Great place and great people !

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was a beautiful house in a stunning location. It was nice opening up all the doors in the morning with the sun beaming in. The kitchen was well-equipped - and it’s only a few minutes drive to local eateries. A perfect getaway :)
