Rest at Rahu

GrazielleRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We had an absolutely amazing stay here & would love to come again. It was the perfect getaway spot, not too far off from the main road but far enough to have privacy. The view was absolutely gorgeous, the cabin was super clean & tidy. All necessities were complete & the bed was also very comfy. Corrie was also very responsive and thoughtful. This place is the perfect getaway trip for couples trying to enjoy peace, privacy, and a stunning view!

Soak watching the sun set at Coastal Acres Escape.

HildaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

I highly recommend Sarah’s place! Sarah was easy to communicate with! She gave clear instructions about location prior to travelling to her place! The photos do not do it justice! The location was perfect! The privacy! The views we woke up to! Luckily the weather was beautiful! We ran the baths at sunset where you can also see the waves of the beach! The place had everything you needed, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, literally everything you needed! The place was very clean and tidy! We played a lot of board games! We sat outside and enjoyed dinner with the view and the cows roaming around! It was amazing! I wish we could’ve stayed longer! I highly recommend staying here as a weekend away from the city life, with your partner or with family! My partner and I loved it! Thank you so much Sarah! Out did yourself!

The Container Ship

LauraRating, 5 stars6 days ago

Absolutely loved my stay in the containership. It rained the entire time I was in the Waikato for fieldays and the containership offered a warm cozy retreat at the end of a long day. The hosts were incredible communicators and even went the extra mile to provide me with the use of their crockpot for easy dinners after a long day. One of the best Airbnb I have stayed in. Incredible craftsmanship and wonderful private outlook. 10 out of 10

Hillside Cottage

EduardoRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

My partner and I were visiting the area to attend a wedding at Hobbiton and chose to stay at Sabrina's cottage on her property. The property is beautiful and definitely worth considering if you're in the area. We were very comfortable during our entire stay. Waking up each morning to views of rolling green hills and alpacas grazing made for a very peaceful stay.

Sparrow Hut

TaylorRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Really cute place! Views are beautiful and the surrounding area is just so peaceful. When booking the listing, I actually didn’t even read that it had a hike up to the Airbnb which was completely my own fault but it was still worth it. The host has prepared gumboots and a torch that can be borrowed which is really thoughtful and helpful.
