Beachfront holiday rentals in North Island

Beautiful location and sea views with access through 2 gates taking you to the rocky bay. Huge fully fenced yard great for our dog Judge and our 3 year old son. The chest of games and toys went down a treat for both and the 3 bdrm house had everything we could need for a weekend get away. The house was also lovely and warm AND we could see the mountain from the entrance way. Would definitely come back again. Thanks for having us, great hosts!

Janes place is incredibly beautiful. The sun shone down into a little piece of paradise and we did some fishing (and caught fish) right in front of the house! Truly magical spot and Jane was warm and generous 🍃 I will 💯 be back again

What an Amazing place, was only there for a nights sleep but boy was it cosy and had more than expected essentials. Place was easy to find and there is such a beautiful view of the harbour with all the sail boats Had quick response from the host as well Would go there again for a longer visit.

Lovely place, right on the beach. Perfect location and very helpful host.

What a beautiful space. If you a looking for a fantastic holiday home for a couple or small family this is the place to be. Right across the road from the beach. So tidy and warm very clean. Mark was amazing! We enjoyed our stay and will be back for sure!!! Thanks for making our trip to Ohope special.

I stayed at Whakatīwai for three nights while I was working in the area. Roimata and Hunter were absolutely wonderful hosts: friendly and helpful. I couldn't have asked for better location. The views from the Airbnb were stunning, and it was so lovely to go for morning and evening walks. Spotlessly clean. The wi fi was good, too. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful Airbnb right on the water’s edge. The location was absolutely stunning – peaceful, scenic, and so close to nature. Our host was super friendly and full of helpful local tips. We especially loved the walk to the nearby surf beach and grabbing a morning coffee at the local campground. A perfect spot to relax and explore!

Absolutely perfect for an artist getaway, views magnificent, peaceful and serene. The late checkout meant that we left as relaxed and chilled as our week had left us. Did we mention the stunning vista!! and lovely and warm for winters days.

Mark’s AirBnB is an experience rather than a stay. Is a combination of coastal rural Nz right on the doorstep (short boat ride away) from a bustling town Raglan where there are 5 star restaurants, super markets and everything you would need or expect. And the accomodation itself is nestled on a cliff top with 180 views of the harbour and if Raglan. Private, the feeling of seclusion and neighbour free - the best of both worlds made better by a host that balances your needs with respectful distance. Make a pizza in the wood fired oven and then warm your bones in the spa boat and arching the harbour u til the sun melts away listening to birds evening song. We can’t wait to head back and hopefully catch the big uncle of the 12 lb snapper we caught in the raglan harbour!!! Outstanding place.

Thank you Liz and Dennis. My family and I loved our stay, it was absolutely perfect.We will definitely be back.

We had an awesome time at the Beachside Bliss. Everything was just WOW. Ian made us feel right at home. The layout of the place is so kids friendly and safe. Loved the peace and quiet and a very clean beach. We are sure to come back soon. 101% recommended! Thank you Ian for sharing your lovely home and space with us🙏

Amazing place, highly recommended

Had the best girls weekend at Inger’s place. Stunning views that were thoroughly enjoyed in the spa on the deck. The house was an easy and functional space to stay in - Inger has great attention to detail. She left very thoughtful and lovely treats for us in the fridge. I can’t wait to come back again!

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!

We booked the apartment because of the epic view of the beach and it surely didn’t disappoint. We did wish the windows were cleaner so we could enjoy the view from inside the house too but understandably this was inevitable. We didn’t like that you have to pick up and drop off the key from another location during check in and check out, which is 10 mins drive from the apartment itself so if you don’t have a car then you might wanna look elsewhere. Tv remote wasn’t working and we couldn’t watch anything we want on the Tv without it. There was a super strict list of rules and a deposit needs paying via an app( which we weren’t told clearly about upon booking) . I still Don’t know if deposit has been returned or not, a confirmation of this would have been nice! Overall though we think it’s a great apartment- it is really roomy, beds are comfortable, great shower, and kitchen is very well equipped. :) many thanks for hosting us !

Five of us spent two nights here and it was fantastic. Lovely home, lots of space for everyone to spread out, amazing location- we walked to the beach easily, and to the shops and restaurants in The Mount. Would 100% stay here again! Also, Sienna was extremely helpful and easy to reach. Loved everything about our stay.

Had a really nice stay here. A beautiful location and view from the house. Really peaceful and relaxing. Nice interior homely vibe with everything you need. Would recommend.

Absolutely loved our stay. Plenty of room, lovely home backed right on the beach. Didnt even mind that one day was horrible weather, was cosy to stay in and play with the board games. Cant wait to book again.

Wonderful stay in an idyllic place. So restful ... it matches it's name.. a real sanctuary. Very comfrtable cottage with all that was required for an enjoyable and peaceful stay. Bed linen was high quality ensuring a restful sleep. Beautiful garden and seafront, where we managed a swim at hide tide. Few minutes drive to eateries and good base for karikari peninsula and Cape Reigna. Would highly recommend. Host was very responsive. One note of caution is to ensure you get exact address in advance as google maps sent us on a wild goose chase!

What a stunning location., located straight next to one of the best urban walkways in the country. Hosts were great so friendly loved Lou the dog she was so lovely too. the views keep you entertained for the whole.time, no TV was needed at all we will definitely be back

Such a gem. Would love to return one day🤗

A few photographers stayed for a few nights. We had an amazing time enjoying this quiet and beautiful beach location. Highly recommended for a break from the big smoke. Thank you

A wonderful place. Moments from the beach where there were people swimming and SUPing all morning. We went in twice for an invigorating morning swim. Lovely walk loop on the beach too. The space is excellent, quiet and comfortable and very cool arty decor and a fabulous view. Driving in and out can be tricky due to traffic but a minor con in a sea of pro’s. Loved it. Raglan Roasts nearby do a cracking coffee too.

Rebecca and her family welcomed me with open arms and made me feel at home right away. I stayed in Raglan for 4weeks and the place is perfectly located, towncenter and beach in walkable distances and still peaceful and quiet. The bed was super confy and the kitchen very well equiped :) I definitely recommend too visit Raglan and Rebecca‘s Studio!
