Guest house holiday rentals in Whitianga

Google maps took me to the wrong location. Dix, who was a very gracious host, responded to my call, gave me specific directions and met me as we arrived. The location was a slice of Heaven, quiet, secluded, peaceful, and very close to the Hot Water Beach. Perfect!!!

We had a great stay at Debbie’s! The accommodation was perfectly clean and had everything we needed for our stay.

The Shed was cute as a button. Lots of books, games (and toys if you have kids!). It was just my partner and I plus our wee dog. Used the outside bath one night which was fun - the lights out on the deck were so pretty. Beds were comfy although I had to sleep in the top bunk as the bottom bed was a tad too small for both of us. (I like to starfish) 😂 Toilet and shower were outside of the shed (in a separate room just next to the shed). Pity it was pissing down as it wasn’t very pleasant going outside to the bathroom space during the night. However great stay, Donna was lovely and had wine and chocolate for us on arrival which was a great touch!

Was one of the best and most relaxing weekends I’ve ever had. Will be a memory I hold with me always.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Julie’s villa in Coromandel. The place was spotlessly clean, incredibly comfortable, and had such a homely feel that we instantly felt at ease. Julie was a fantastic host—welcoming, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. Everything we needed was provided, and the peaceful surroundings made for a perfect getaway. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily return. Highly recommend!

Loved our stay! Wish we could’ve been here longer. Adored the animals… was so lovely being greeted by the dogs upon arrival. We hope to return again soon!

Really, lovely, self contained cottage overlooking the Firth of Thames. The cottage is well appointed, clean, tidy and private with a comfortable bed. We really enjoyed our weekend, and the cottage was a welcome retreat at the end of a busy two days. We had some beautiful views out on the deck, and really enjoyed several visits from a beautiful plump Kingfisher and some fantails. The Pukorokoro Shorebird centre and the Robert Findlay Wildlife Reserve are very close and worth a visit. Thank you Barry and Liz !

Tina and Barry were very accomodating, friendly and gave us good insights of the area. The place was quiet, clean. We will stay here again when we have a return visit from Australia.

Great place with great view. Good value for money. Would be a nice place to have as a base to explore surrounding areas. Nice and quiet, very peaceful and private location.

The unit was very comfortable, clean and tidy, and had everything we needed for our long weekend stay. It’s in a convenient location, a few minutes walk to the beach and cafe/shops. We would happily stay here again.

A quaint little cabin, comfortable, and everything you needed. Breakfast food was provided which is always a bonus. Linda came over before we left and had a great chat.

We loved our stay at Sarah’s place. It was clean, sunny and well appointed. The prosecco in the fridge was a nice touch. 🥰

A fantastic find! Really close to the beautiful beach. Nothing like an early morning or sunset stroll. Robyn's place had everything we needed. It was spotless, extremely comfy bed, amazing shower... perfect for the three of us. Thanks so much!

Gorgeous house with amazing views! Super comfy interior & hosts very welcoming, we loved our stay here :) thank you!

Tui’s Nest was a wonderful Air BnB and Karen was a fabulous host. Always proactive and responsible with helpful instructions. The apartment had everything we needed and more! Lots of lovely extras and thoughtful touches. It’s peaceful, private and very comfortable. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thanks very much ☺️

Our stay at the cabin with our Labrador was absolutely perfect. The cabin itself was so comfortable with everything you need including a great shower and very comfy bed, set in the most gorgeous valley with views of the hills and forest. The outside deck space was fantastic, and use of the BBQ to cook while the sun sets was great. The river is absolutely stunning and our dog loved having a paddle. It’s the perfect spot to explore walks in the park and the cute town of Thames. I would thoroughly recommend. Katrina and her family were so friendly and helpful as well. We’ll definitely be back!

Amazing guesthouse stay! Attached but private from the owners accommodation, the back of the guesthouse opens out onto the park which was phenomenal for our young kids. The house was child friendly, Sharon and Richard even lent some of their grandkids toys to our kids for the stay! They set up a nice outdoor setting for us to eat our meals outside which we loved. Kitchenette is new and has everything you need. Great bathroom and shower including a warm outdoor shower for post swim clean ups, especially great for the kids! Do not hesitate to book here, we LOVED our stay!

My partner and I stayed here for a night and it was truly wonderful. We will have to come back soon! Very cosy and homely — Heating and an electric blanket so nice in a winter stay. Close to town and was easy to find. We loved the art & decor too. Highly recommend staying here :)

A beautiful romantic location, we loved sitting out on the deck at night looking at the Milky Way and listening to the kiwi and other native birds. Fresh fruit, milk and some other lovely treats waiting for us in the kitchen. Above and beyond hospitality and the most tranquil escape, only 5 mins off the main road. Plus the most comfy bed!!

If you are lucky enough to get a booking at Chartre Cottage we believe you will be very happy! Anna-Marie is a lovely generous host, who goes out of her way to provide a wonderful holiday experience! The cottage is also a bed and breakfast and Anna-Marie provides delicious foods for you to prepare yourself when you desire. The kitchenette is well stocked and easy to make simple meals in. The decor is lovely and includes a very comfortable bed, large bathroom, beautiful sitting area with views from the hill overlooking Thames and stunning sunsets. They have two adorable sheep and chickens to add to the fun. She does one of my favorite things hosts do is label the light switches so you don’t have to guess and she has excellent instructions for you to follow as well as good suggestions for places to visit and restaurants. You park right outside your door for easy access. We highly recommend Chartre Cottage for couples who desire to have a peaceful and lovely place to stay for holiday!

Gillian's house was a treat to behold. The neighbourhood was peaceful and serene and the accommodations were superb: clean, modern and well-kept. Gillian and Dave were super-responsive and ensured that our stay was trouble-free. We’ll remember watching the stars from the hot tub!

Magic-Pure Magic! I could drink coffee and see the most beautiful view or I could in two minutes be walking on one of the most beautiful beaches I encountered in two months on New Zealand. So peaceful and there was no one around! The apartment was pristine and had everything we needed including the most beautiful garden. Michael has so many flowers. We could have taken out kayaks or bikes but instead we did a little hike to Crayfish Bay! So cool! Only wish we could have stayed longer!!💜💜💜

Lovely stay on our North island road trip! Very cosy and homely.

Our stay in Cooks Beach was excellent. The house is in a beautiful location basically just by the river/ocean. The house has EVERYTHING you need to make your stay comfortable. Bikes, kayaks, body boards, spades for hot water beach, towels, BBQ etc that you can use at any time. We will definitely recommend it to our friends and come back ourselves when we are back in NZ. Thank you Paul and Tina for hosting us!
