Barn holiday rentals in Te Ika-a-Māui / North Island

Amazing place

If you want a truly peaceful, rejuvenating escape in a beautiful serene location - highly recommend Susans place. Its rustuc, kitchy, full of personality and a great respite from city life. Susan is accomodating, friendly and lets you enjoy the pond and scenery in peace. Added bonus was no cell service at the Barn so we could switch off from the world - however Wifi at Susans house was accessible whenever we wanted (which wasnt that often) and we loved being off the grid for our 3 days. Thank you Susan and Sasha it was such a delight! x

This location is wonderful. My family love that farm. My kids enjoyed tranporin. Blueberry ice cream was so tasty. And Sue is very kind and friendly,

Beautiful barn style, accommodates three families easily all with their own bathroom! The line is very luxurious and beds comfy Communication was quick and efficient at very late notice. The place did have a few cobwebs and dust from the road but I think that comes hand and hand with being out in the countryside. Stunning garden outlook to sit and have your morning coffee. We throughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to other families or larger groups with all amenities supplied and a short drive to Te Arai beach. Thank you!

How an airbnb should be. Anna & Brian have created such a welcoming, peaceful oasis with all of the personal touches that make staying here so wonderful. A short drive from Auckland and you feel you're in the middle of nowhere (in the best way). A bottle of wine, homemade cake & bread, breakfast provisions (so many eggs we couldn't finish them all) topped off with a well kept tennis court, pool & spa - in a gorgeous apartment-like setting, we couldn't have asked for more. A great place to stay.

Enjoy the ambience of such a peaceful place, lovely furnishings and textiles a little gem in easy to reach rural surrounds, nature at it’s best.

What an amazingly hand crafted house this is!! Jen greeted us so warmly and gave us a wonderful run down of the features and history of the barn. We were really inspired by Dowie and Jen’s creativity and self-sufficiency. Jen’s suggestion to check out a local private hot mineral pool was SO GOOD!! Our family loved the experience of spending time in a naturally heated pool with revitalising minerals. A truly unique experience staying here and a great location to visit Hobbiton!

Nick was a great host. He was extremely friendly and very responsive to a last minute booking. The place was perfect - clean, private, well equipped and nicely furnished. The location was great, right in the outskirts of town. I'd definitely stay there again and recommend it to others!

What a great stay. We got contacted by Dan on the day of our booking with helpful hints and a photo of where to park which was really helpful. The barn is beautiful and private with a view out over the vines. Great communications, something chilled to drink when we arrived, plus some snacks made us feel very spoiled. A magical place to stay, we will be back.

Lovely clean, modern and well styled house on a large section with sea views. Large house, easily accommodated us 8 adults with room to spare and multiple different hang out / chill spots in and outside the house. Very well stocked kitchen with ample crockery / containers / utensils etc.

We had a fantastic and relaxing stay at Dee's place, all the amenities were provided and the place itself is bigger and more spacious than what appears in the photos. Although I didn't meet Dee, she was very responsive and accommodating, setting up an extra bed for the last minute addition to our group. We appreciated the quiet and bucolic setting and we would absolutely stay here again!

An amazing place, great decor. Peaceful setting. Great amnesties. Responsive and friendly host. Really appreciated the touches like passion fruit and apples.

Easily one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had! So many thoughtful touches and extremely well equipped for our stay with our dog and baby which made our little trip away so lovely. Such a cute charming little stay and excellent value for money, we were also very happy we could book for just one night. The surrounding areas on the property are so peaceful and serene I just wish we had more time to enjoy it!

Dariens place is absolutely beautiful and him and his wife are by far the most genuine, kind and welcoming hosts I've ever had the privilege of meeting. 10/10 all round - we will definitely be back in the future!

Willow is an excellent host. Great communication at all times. The accommodation was perfect with no issues at all. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended!!

We (myself, hubby, 11 year old) wanted a beautiful, peaceful spot that we could relax in and Deb's place really delivered. We loved the countryside setting that was so quiet, the cosy comfy beds, the fully equipped kitchen and the games room - we spent many happy hours playing pool! The location was fantastic, rural yet so close to Matakana. Deb and Anto were great hosts, very responsive. Highly recommend.

Amazing family getaway!!! This is the perfect and private destination for a family vacation. We had such a large group of adults and kids so there were so many amenities and fun sporty things for everyone to do. The quality of the space is great, loved everything about the kitchen, movie room, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, basket ball, table tennis, darts, trampoline and spacious gardens! We especially loved the spa :) thanks again!

Such a wonderful stay. Only negative is that we couldn’t stay longer! If you’re looking for a home stay away from home, this is your place! We felt like we had checked into an old friend’s place. It’s a lovely home on a gorgeous setting. It ended up raining but Jen was so clever and gave us some alternative ideas which were amazingly fun (and we would never have found them if it hadn’t been for her suggestion). This is a hidden gem for sure!!

Thank you for hosting us - what a great way to escape during the week. On arrival the Barn is breathtaking and has everything you’d want to have for a getaway enjoyed with your loved ones. Great location, and great eye to detail features. Thank you again ☺️

The home is spacious but you do not feel disconnected. Beautiful surroundings and well equipt kitchen. The indoor outdoor flow gave as an additional seating area for dinners etc. Fabulous facilities could not think of anything else that would be needed there. Would highly recommend The Red Barn.

Thanks for allowing me family in at short notice. They were very thankful for the heatpump and loved the country outlook.

Woolshed stay exactly what we had anticipated and has all needs and close to get out fishing thanks again
