Villa vacation rentals in Bay of Plenty

A nice, clean house - the location is as described, and is kitted out with practical but basic furnishings, enough to have everything you need, but without feeling too comfortable (!). Ideal for families and those staying in Rotorua for the outdoor activities. It was fine for us for one night's stay. We'd suggest having lamps in the living room so that it could feel less like a hostel, and larger groups would probably appreciate having enough seating for everyone in that room - as it's set up for a scant few in spite of the spaciousness. Would have preferred the full use of the closet in one of the bedrooms, rather than a random mattress occupying it.

Wonderful stay. Would definitely recommend. Easy check in. Beautiful vintage house. Great information about the property from Amy. Thank you for having us.

This home was a spacious place for my family to relax, and the host was absolutely excellent and even provided some local recommendations for food on Christmas Day when we thought most places would be closed. The surroundings are serene, and my family very much enjoyed staying here.

I would encourage anyone wanting to stay there that it is well worth it, Merle and Al are great and their place is so beautiful with beautiful native bush surroundings and private, beds are so comfortable and warm and everything you need are already supplied, top 10 air BnB that I have stayed at, Thank you Merle and Al

The place was extremely good—very well-organized and clean. It’s located in a quiet area but still close to the city centre, which was super convenient. It was a bit on the expensive side, but overall, it was a great experience. Would recommend!

This house is located in a beautiful area, a very quick walk across the road to a pristine beach. The house has everything we needed for a Sisters weekend getaway! The only time I contacted the host with a small question I received an answer within 5 minutes, this home is very private and also very quiet (except for neighbors dog, who like any dog would bark at us 😄) I would recommend this home to anyone wanting a fantastic getaway.

Great location, just a short walk to both BayFair and the beach - perfect for a summer stay. The space is spacious and well-equipped with everything you need. Charles and Kylie were excellent hosts, very communicative and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Des’ place is awesome! The whole place feels like you’re staying in a museum of sports, every corner of the house tells a story. It is so personal and cozy, it makes you feel at home. Perfect location with second to none surroundings. Just a few minutes drive from Rotorua, perfect if you want to get away from the noise and hurry of the day to day life.

the property was great and was perfect with the off street parking. thank you for being a great host. made the journey easy. will book again

This place is absolutely INCREDIBLE! I can't recommend it enough. We booked it for a night for a hens party and the look on guests faces when they arrived was priceless. Such a hidden gem in Katikati, and well worth the drive there if you are considering staying. The house was spectacular and so accommodating to a large group of people, with a lovely courtyard for outdoor activities. The little cottages were also a lovely surprise for guests and so well maintained. Laura's communication was also excellent. I would love to visit again one day. . . and stay for a week!

Great to deal with the host, just everything was perfect. Flexible check in and check out process with great communication. The place was spotless and beds are very comfortable. One of the best air bnb places that we ever tried. We will definitely come back again.

Awesome stay, the house was lovely and clean. The location was accessible to a great walkway and not too far from town. Had everything we needed and plenty of room. Host was great and made contact when required. Thanks to Kirk for the stay.

A beautiful renovated old house with higher ceilings and lots of nice decorations, big rooms and lounge/dining area/kitchen and a big garden. Good beds, shower, TV and WiFi. It has almost everything except a BBQ. There is a washing mashine and dryer (which does not work that well anymore), dishwasher, a pool with salt water, a wonderful whirl pool which we had to get up to temperature first and could only use from the second day. It is a shame that they put in a carpet in the lounge/dining are and another carpet on top. This carpet curled and was a trip hazard. The one toilet and the dryer were not clean but the rest was good. There was salt but no pepper. It also provided tea, coffee, sugar, oil. All in all we enjoyed our stay very much. We forgot a bag and they sent it on to us free of charge. I enjoyed the closed verandah and used is as an office but the socket behind the desk did not work. We found a power strip and a (dirty) extension cable. There is also an iron and ironboard.

A lovely villa, beautiful lake views, Comfortable beds, so cosy and warm. Easy check in, fast communication with hosts. All amenities provided and super clean Thank you to Alma and John

Beautiful place next to the beach, is a perfect house to go with family. We will go again soon ☺️

This is a fabulous place to stay especially for families with a range of ages. It had everything we could wish for. Cindy & Jon were wonderful hosts.
