Linda and Alastair's place was truly one of the highlights of our honeymoon. Beautifully appointed, with personal touches throughout, and unbelievable views. Perfect getaway spot! Only negative is we didn't stay long enough.

Our stay at Linda's beautiful home was fantastic, we loved it.

A cozy & comfortable apartment with magnificent views.

This is really a nice and cosy place for a lovely getaway, It is quiet, secluded and private. With great ocean views and a nice deck to contemplate the ocean beauty. A private beach and walks around the place. And two lovely dogs that will melt your heart. The host, Linda, is very kind and helpful. A truly delightful experience from beginning to end.

exactly everything we expected it to be and more. Will be back!

Beautiful views and wonderful setting! We enjoyed our stay and our hosts we very welcoming. Nice and close to Auckland but feels miles away.

A really cute place with absolutely stunning views.

Great location and value! We stayed 3 nights...our stay was vey relaxing with beautiful views and private beach! I would stay again and again.

Lovely welcoming people! A warm home, the room was very tidy and private. We were looked after very well. We highly recommend staying here!

Vicki's house was on a good position and the room had lots of little extras. Great hosts.

Ideal for stop over clean

Great room with a large sink toilet area, a coffee table with providing enough breakfast (cereals, jams ...) kettle, toaster, glasses, plates, cutlery and so on ... past. A large comfortable bed and a barbecue at our disposal right outside the room. Vicki and her husband were very welcoming, we were immediately put at ease. They take us told us to Orewa, supermarket and we have even tabled at our next Airbnb host. We even have a good time with them at table and watching TV. Their house is located 6 minutes from a bus stop that can lead you in Orewa or later ... 10 min walk from the beach 5 minutes from the natural pools of warm water and 10 minutes from the regional park Wenderholm . I really suggest to spend a short or long stay with Vicki !!! : D Good luck to the next. Chloe and Cindy :)

Very nice place to stay and absolutely welcoming hospitality. Definitely recommended. There is even a radiator provided if it gets cold at night.

Very nice place, a little paradise.

Vicki & Keith were very welcoming and helpful. The room was very cosy and quiet, and the area is beautiful. We recommend this place 100%

Wow, what a perfect long weekend-stay my partner and I had. For anyone looking for a relaxed and scenic retreat, that has beaches, rivers and walking tracks close at hand while still being close to cafes and restaurants... Cute and Cosy is definitely for you. The apartment was clean, tidy and comfortable with everything you need for either cooking big meals in the kitchen or grilling something on the BBQ while enjoying a cold beer on the balcony. We spent much of our time in the communal pool and hot tub while enjoy conversations with the local residents there too. We also travelled to nearby locations like the quaint township of Puhoi visiting their local cheese factory and the amazing historic Puhoi Pub. The township of Orewa is even closer for anyone seeking restaurants, cafes and urban comforts. Our host Marianne was very accommodating, especially on our arrival. We unfortunately ended up 3 hours late, however Marianne still ensured everything was available and accessible when we finally arrived. Much appreciated.. My partner and I are definitely keen to return!!

Thank you so much to our lovely hosts Linda and Al for sharing this beautiful part of the world with us. A very comfortable and relaxing stay. Big thumbs up

Magical spot, breathtaking views. Thanks Linda

We stayed with Linda for only one night with our 10 mo old daughter. The apartment is great and has a stunning view! It is a 5-10 min drive to town but we enjoyed very much the location. Linda even provided a wooden baby cot. We felt very welcome.

Stunning location and great hospitality. Staying with Linda and Al was a great experience we couldn't have asked for a more private setting, definetly will be back.

Incredible views. Cosy, comfortable room with everything we needed. Will be back again for sure!

A very beautiful location, peaceful and serene.

5 stars! Fabulous spot with absolutely everything you need. The ocean views were a major highlight... we look forward to visiting again!

great place!

Great host and great accommodation

The host canceled this reservation 15 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Great host sharing a great home location for local beaches

Highly recommended. Great hosts, great location

I had a great stay! Rebecca invited me for dinner and it is a lovely place with an incredible view!! I would love to come back! Thank you!

Rebecca and Brett have a lovely new home with stunning views over Hatfield beach and rolling hills from their front garden. We were made to feel very welcome and we're invited to use their kitchen and amenities. The room is comfortable and the bathroom and house spotless! A good location and friendly family.

Had a absolutely lovely stay. Hosted by a fantastic inviting couple, the room and bedding was a very high quality, the the location was gorgeous and quiet. Breakfast was provided and I was always invited to dinner, couldn't recommend more! I'd also like to mention a very high speed internet!

We had only one night at Rebecca's place. The house is very modern and in a beautiful location. The rooms and bathroom were immaculate. They were friendly and helped me with information around the area. We personally did not find the beds comfortable but that is because we are used to firmer beds. We had a good stay at Rebecca's.

Rashika was a nice host, but we were pretty disappointed in the house. It was quite old and dirty and definitely needs to be updated. Also, the picture of the water and beach in front of the house is (URL HIDDEN) never looked like that. When the tide is out, there is no water at all in front of the house. Our small children still enjoyed playing in it, but you are not able to go for a swim. I would not stay here again.

Great location! The beach is literally out the door and a 5 min walk to the Waiwera Thermal Pools, local pub/restaurant and dairy. It was great that the unit has all the essentials for guests to use, even a bbq and spa pool. Overall a nice little getaway!

Wow!! We his first Airbnb guests ever. Family very welcoming and room tidy, AC available and separate bath and shower but down the stairs. Room is huge and is separate from rest of house with own entrance. The house number sign is small and located on a fence post at entrance to long gravel driveway. Easiest seen if driving north. I missed it first time despite Williams excellent direction. No worries it's worth the struggle. They are located less than a mile north of Wiarema on the river. They have kayaks to use too.

Tenille and Gavin are lovely hosts who strived to ensure that we were happy, including recommending places to visit, inviting us to their BBQ and taking us out kayaking. The best part of the home is the location. Set amidst native bush with a stunning view out to sea, we felt like we were a million miles away (despite being less than 40 minutes from the CBD).

We had a fabulous stay in this luxury accommodation. The place is exactly like the photo's and is private, peaceful and very relaxing. Close to cafe's, restaurants and the beaches via a car and the puhoi river is within walking distance on the property. Would definitely recommend.

Tracey and Andy host a beautiful, secluded spot, where you can relax and unwind with views, fresh air, and a warm, brand new pool of your own. Not many places can offer all of these amenities so close to Auckland. This EcoPlan home is cleverly designed to be comfortable, easy to live in and just the right size for a couple. It has been thoughtfully placed on a farm, raised on poles, with wrap around decks, to have privacy, views and close motorway access. Tracey warmly welcomed us on a nasty weather evening, to show us up the track from the road, and kept in contact over the weekend to check all was well given the extreme weather - the house performed well in the conditions! We managed an afternoon by the pool and swimming despite all this and can honestly say we will return to make better use of facilities once more, hopefully including the river below. May thanks

We really enjoyed our stay here, the kids absolutely loved swimming in the thermal pools and the unit had everything we could have needed. Couldn't recommend this place more highly!

Jane was a very welcoming host but also gave us the privacy we wanted for this week away from Auckland's hustle and bustle. A truly lovely place to heal and unwind from a stressful month. Thankyou

Awesome stay! Everything was perfect. Nice little details throughout. Directions and communication were all very clear and quick. Wish I could have stayed and enjoyed the place longer

It's a great place. Secluded but close to everything. The property was interesting especially the pig. Warm and dry.

We loved staying at Jane's quiet and cosy cottage over the weekend. The area itself is just so beautiful, set amongst the green valleys of Puhoi. The property was extremely peaceful and serene, making our stay very relaxing. The cottage was cosy and offered everything needed for our quick stay. We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Puhoi!

A beautiful cottage in a superb location. Just what we needed after staying at motels all over New Zealand. Every home comfort has been thought of and sitting on the verandah looking at the night sky was a bonus.

Beautiful, clean and bright cottage. Set in beautiful quirky garden/paddock and woodland area. Jane is a thoughtful and considerate host, breakfast was a nice touch. The animals were a highlight and each if them made us feel welcome in their own way. Would recommend and like to stay again.

A bit off the beaten track down t a gravel road, but well worth the effort to get there. A fantastic venue, great hosting with home made bread and fruit available upon arrival. Thank you for your friendly hospitality.

The cottage has a lovely atmosphere with farm animals, situated in a quiet location. Surrounded with green bushes and nice decks, there are a lot of space. Jane was a lovely host also providing us with breakfast and respected our privacy. One downside would be no internet in the cottage as described, with the only access being on the deck of the main house.

She told me several times kindly about her house. After leaving her house, she consistently kept in touch with us kindly.

We had a wonderful weekend at this beautiful property. The photo's do not quite do justice to the place. We were already looking forward to the property based on the photos, but were even more surprised when we arrived. The property was well equipped and the hosts were great communicators, even meeting us at the property when we had an issue with the front door lock. Would love to stay again in the future.

We just spent a short family holiday at Orewa Cliff Top and it was absolutely wonderful. We comfortably slept 9 people - the place has everything you need. There is loads of outdoor space to enjoy the summer sun and take in the breathtaking views - simply amazing. Cindy was a great host - very responsive to any queries and very accommodating overall. I would love to come back here some time and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to base their Orewa holiday.

Debs place was great- large and modern with special views of the sea. Debs was just downstairs, so anytime we needed her advice on Orewa and the area, she was available. Fantastic location, close to other towns on the east coast, and a great base for exploring.

Deborah was one of the most generous hosts we've encountered on Airbnb. She brought us flowers to welcome us and then a heaping plate of ham. She had specially set up a Christmas tree for us and brought us presents on Christmas day. The amenities were also top notch. The place has fantastic views and the morning walk to Orewa Beach was a great start to the day. Orewa also has an up and coming cafe scene that we thoroughly enjoyed. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable stay and lovely host

Wow! The white House certainly set the bar high for the rest of our trip. Almost wish we could have stayed here the whole time. One of the most amazing places I've ever stayed. Trying to match it here in Paihaia but struggling. Highly highly recommend! I really hope we can make it back some day! Thanks Debs! Xoxo

WOW! That's all I have to say after staying here. Deb was incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating, and importantly the house was incredible. It was a wonderful paradise, with breathtaking views and a great aesthetic. All was very modern and clean. The beds were out of this world comfy - slept like a king! It was walking distance to the waves for surfing or swimming. We'd stay again in a heartbeat!

Great house, absolutely amazing view, just perfect! One of the best houses we have ever stayed in. Location is quiet, but close to services and beach. Rooms are spacious, clean, nicely decorated and everything works well. Staying here helped us to win silver medal in World Masters Games: the view and atmosphere inspired and boosted us, but also made it easy to recover every day after tough beach volley games. Debs is a wonderful host: professional, helpful, friendly and available if you need, but gives you the privacy you need. She also reacts quickly and keeps her promises and commitments. Thanks Debs!

Deborah's house is the best. You will think you have died and gone to heaven when you sit outside on the porch in the morning and watch the sunrise. The house is spotless, and has everything you need. Close to any shopping you might need. Deborah is a great host, availabie if you need her but respectfull of your privacy. You won't be sorry.
