Vacation rentals with a firepit in Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana

Place was beautiful, we spent time round the pool and in the spa. Felt like a home away from home! Thanks so much for having us, look forward to staying again ☺️

We loved our stay here. Perfect for families and has a nice homely feel. My son loved the selection of toys and books inside and the trampoline outside! Big, spacious and had everything we needed while we were away. Wish we stayed longer. Thanks for having us.

What a spot!! absolute beachfront, high up on the hill overlooking the beach. We booked for our wedding night, but hosts were flexible with an early check in so the bridal party could get ready. Don't book if you don't like listening to the roar of the ocean when it's windy, but if you find it soothing like us, then it's perfect! Nice stairs down to the sand, perfect for a walk, and a nice deck area. The undercover area with fire is so nice for that bad weather but wanting a cosy spot to relax. I have zero complaints, place was spotless, nicely laid out and great parking. We are local to the Pukehina area, but if we ever need to book somewhere there again, this will be first on this list! Thank you Merilyn for your amazing communication and flexibility. We really appreciate it and your cosy place.

Rurus nest was a stunning tiny home with beautiful finishings. The space was gorgeous, the bed was comfy & the Outlook from the deck was exactly what we needed. Nikki was so helpful and lovely, we had the best stay!

Great place to stay, central in Mangawhai Heads, walking distance from town shops. Happy to book here again.

Nicola went above and beyond for me and my friends for my 40th birthday. The house has so much character and so much to do. The tennis court and swimming pool were an added bonus on top of everything else. The house had everything we needed. Great place for everyone to enjoy.

A taste of Tuscany in Newstead is all we can say!! Great indoor outdoor flow with all the amenities to keep people active and engaged. The tennis court provided entertainment and controversy while the spa and pool provided relaxation and ambiance. The complementary bubbles received on arrival was well needed after a long trip with a talkative passenger. Great entertainment facilities and loved the touch of country surroundings, would stay again.

We loved Suzy's place and it's gorgeous surroundings. The view is stunning and it's a quick walk to the beach. Highly recommend to all.

Thank you for your hospitality!

We absolutely loved staying at Vanessa’s place. We spent the last nights of our NZ trip there and were able to host my family for dinner. This is such a beautiful space and would definitely stay again next time we are in Auckland.

Fabulous host - clean apartment and very well stocked

Peter’s AirBNB is gorgeous and well stocked. He was friendly, responsive, and on premise much of our stay (which is a private section of his home), but also great about giving us privacy. We especially enjoyed the pool and charming garden spaces - as well as the breakfast food and tea/coffee provided. A few notes that weren’t fully clear to me before arriving: >Washer is on site but generally not for guest use (though we got the OK to do a couple loads when we asked) > There is no living room or indoor common area of the Airbnb space. > There are gorgeous outdoor spaces with shade covering to enjoy for meals at home - but only bedroom/hallway space available indoors for “hang out space” > The Rotary walk area is easily accessible from this space - and the views are even better than the pictures :)

Really enjoyed my stay, perfect location if you want to be close to the centre of Howick. Clear instructions, private. Peaceful, nice quiet Aircon, super comfy bed and pillow. Has everything you need. Very organised, well thought out. Good communication, Ali really cares about his guests having a great stay. Awesome value, I highly recommend this Airbnb.

Our stay at Tui & Nikau was beautiful. The place is so serene, private, and peaceful, and the accommodation had everything we needed and more. The hosts were super helpful and made the whole experience seamless. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend for all! We are a family of 5 and enjoyed our stay here. It is nice and close to everything and walking distance to Hahei resort. The accommodation had everything we needed for our stay. Fleur was friendly and had prompt communication. We would stay here again :)

Although we didn’t meet our hosts our stay really lovely. Easy access, very clean and charming surroundings. Loved the extra treats upon our arrival and your breakfast basket. Will definitely recommend to others and stay again if available. Loved visiting our ‘old haunts’ of West Auckland from 25 years ago. Thank you so much.

We had an amazing stay and it was even better than we thought! Super private with an easy access road, it was the perfect place to unwind for the night. We really appreciated all the small touches and absolutely loved the two outdoor baths. Bed was super comfy and the whole place was very clean and had everything you need. Will definitely be recommending to our friends, thanks again!!

Incredible spot! Gorgeous accommodation! Super friendly & helpful host! We loved everything about this place. So peaceful & relaxing. Loved the outdoor bath! Incredible walks, cafes & everything you might need within 5 mins drive. Loved the homemade brownie & muesli - a magical & delicious touch. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Awesome place, super clean and very peaceful!

Wonderful, peaceful location with lovely amenities! The eco-toilet was cool (no issues or smell, and a really intriguing way to be “off grid”), the outdoor tubs were fun to soak in and stargaze, the bed was comfy, and the farm animals were so sweet. Corrine was so kind and accommodating, super helpful with local recommendations and very sweetly helped us solve some luggage issues we had. We would absolutely recommend this spot for a quiet, private place away from the hustle of “Rotovegas” but also close enough to many local hotspots and services.

Thank you Linda for a beautiful stay, the space was perfect! Linda was friendly, helpful & a great host, allowing us to arrive early on short notice & kindly offering a few extra hours on our last day. We enjoyed the stay very much w the serene private backyard & outdoor bath. Great access to the township & local pub just a stroll out the backgate! Highly recommend!

Beautiful spot. Secluded and quiet yet only a few minutes drive to Raglan. Would most definitely stay again 😊

Our roadtrip took an unexpected change in route so we unfortunately didn't make it out to Rachel's place (which we were very bummed about given how cozy and characterful the log style home it!). When I reached out to Rachel she was very understanding, responsive, friendly and even tried to work with us and be flexible with our arrangement- something she was not at all obligated to do. Next time around, we will try to come back- the surrounding area looks enchanting and we are anxious to explore Coromandel Peninsula!! Rachel was extremely helpful too!!

Having stayed at a B&B the night before, we were wishing to stay on one more night somewhere more quiet and more us. Unable to use a booking service we normally do, due to their website undoing maintenance, I soon spotted cozy cabin. We were not disappointed at all. Quick response to booking request, welcome arrival after a long day in the bush hiking. Clean, tidy, nice use of recycling timber for building this beautiful cabin. Loved outdoor bath, could have slept in that! Being so new, still had a lot of privacy screening to provide by the lovely trees planted for screening. Great outdoor facilities, camp fire, sitting area, BBQ. Little bit of noise from the close main road was the one and only down side. Overall great experience. Thank you Mandy.
