Holiday rentals with beach access in Te Ika-a-Māui / North Island

We loved every minute of our stay here in Raglan- and this ocean-view oasis was the perfect home base to relax and enjoy the scenery. The view was, of course, incredible- we watched surfers in the waves for hours. We greatly enjoyed the amenities like the hot tub and sauna, and found the location to be perfect, with just a short drive into the town with coffee shops & restaurants, and close to the beaches where we spent most of our time. We absolutely loved our stay here and hope to come back!

This is an absolutely charming apartment to stay in and we enjoyed it immensely. Lynne is the perfect host - warm and welcoming but also attentive to our needs. There was a selection of goodies when we arrived and she baked the most amazing fresh muffins for us the following morning. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated with an inspiring collection of furniture and framed photographs. There is also a bookcase with a discerning and eclectic collection of books if you’re interested in reading- which I was. The real highlight of the apartment is the view. There is wide, expansive view of Auckland’s harbour and you are not overlooked by any of the neighbouring houses. Sitting there on the super comfy couch, with a cup of tea while looking out on the water is simply bliss. Overall, this a marvellous place to stay and simply on a higher level to many other similar apartments. We highly recommend it and will certainly come back.

Excellent location and a lovely, well laid out space. Perfect for a couple or solo traveler. Have always used apartment hotels and thought I’d give this a go instead. Did not regret the choice. Stunning front seat views of the beach and walking distance to the best restaurants and bars in the Mount. A great option folks 😁

We love staying at Kokomo! Dave is an amazing host! So accommodating and friendly. Both rooms were spotlessly clean. We had a wonderful stay

5 star accommodation and location. Perfect for a stay in Paihia. Aynsley was the perfect host . We shall always seek out to stay here when visiting Paihia.

Beautiful place, everything felt brand new. Bright and open, within walking distance to the beach and restaurants/art deco area. Would highly reccomend !

Great place to stay and friendly, welcoming host. Super comfortable and cosy and easy distance to everything. Nice a sunny with lots of natural light. Peaceful too. Will be back

We really enjoy our stay at this lovely apartment. Great size for family of 4 (2 adults+2 kids). The seaview from the apartment is awesome. Rozelle is very friendly to communicate and she gets everything well prepared. Highly recommended. Thanks so much!

We loved staying here, it was a beautiful house in a really special location with the beach right out front. House was warm and cozy, the kitchen was great and the views were top notch.

Don’t want to said too much yet, but we will be back soon, very soon.😁😁

We really enjoy our stay here, it felt like a home away from home. This place was exactly what we were after, very peaceful and relaxing. The views were out of this world! Would definitely be back, thank you to the hosts for making us feel right at home.

This beautiful Airbnb is a home away from home. It is equipped with everything you need for a relaxing, wonderful stay. The photos do the home justice, and everything is as it appears to be. The outdoor space is delightful and the smallest of details have been carefully thought out. The space is a mix of Kiwi charm and Balinese culture. An absolute plus for us that we could bring our furbaby along, this is something I wish more Airbnb's did, so thank you Lynley, Dave and Wickett. The bathroom and bedroom were immaculately clean, and the shower is equally as good as ours as home (which is often hard to match). We have no doubt we'll be back at some point. Sincere thanks. :)

Sky House was perfect – stunning views, peaceful and homely. Spotlessly clean with everything we needed. Ideal for families, close to nature walks and beautiful bays. A serene escape from the hustle and bustle. The sunsets were unforgettable. Truly a magical spot we’ll definitely be back.

Absolutely magical location and views! We loved everything about our stay. The location is incredible - just up a few steps from the beach but still incredibly private; stunning views all day long; gorgeous indoor and outdoor spaces which were spotlessly clean and well organised and had everything we needed; the bed was super-comfortable; the spa was perfect; the indoor/outdoor shower was ingenious; the communication was prompt and friendly; and check-in and out couldn’t have been more simple. All in all, our experience was exceptional!

This was a last minute trip, but we could not have been a better place - the house, location, and everything was lovely 😊😊 we miss it already! A massive bonus is the kids play room - our baby loved it!

This was our 2nd time at Jane’s place and it was so great, we love the location and the house is a wonderful place to stay. Thanks Jane for all your help.

The accommodation is 11/10 with a 6 star rating for everything one needs for an escape. Modern, minimalist really private in a bustling area. We loved our stay and will return again. Thanks to Denise. Excellent comms and a few personal touches.

Perfect apartment to stay at in Wellington. Everything was as per the booking description etc.

We had an amazing four night stay here. The apartment was excellently furnished, the location effectively on the lakefront was fantastic and the outlook across the lake to Mount Tarawera was beautiful. We could not have wished for more. Thank you Murray for being such a great host

Thank you for a lovely stay Katharine ! Your studio is gorgeous and was the perfect spot for RnR over the marathon. Your property looks immaculate, the garden beautiful with autumn leaves and bird song. Very easy check in and wonderful ammenities. We loved the croissants for breakfast and thoughtful touches around the home. Very comfy bed and lush linen !! The place is very homely and we loved your style ! Thank you!

This apartment was amazing & met my expectations & more The views were incredible Easy beautiful walk along the waterfront to restaurants & bars but if you choose to Uber then it was only $9 Easy self check in with lockbox We managed to get a free Carpark outside the apartment block so no problems there . Thank you Craig , hopefully we will be back soon

Great hosts. The Airbnb was super comfortable and peaceful. Fantastic location near walks and the beach.

We really enjoyed our stay at Irene’s. It was great to be so close to the beach and there were lots of shops and cafes within walking distance. It’s a scenic 20 minute drive to Snow Planet is that is part of your holiday plans. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay a pleasure. Irene was so friendly, helpful and caring. We would definitely stay again.

Short drive from the airport, Close to lots of amazing cafes, the beach, and hot pools. Fantastic views from the top of Mount Maunganui - worth the climb. Hot pools were great to soak away any aches after the climb.
