Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana

I love this place. A beautiful old Villa, full of character. extremely well looked after and laid out. Lovely furniture and decor which enhances its character and is very comfortable. Ella answered all my questions and had someone on hand to help with a couple small issues. She was fantastic to deal with. I have no hesitation to recommend her and this home.

Rachel's place was lovely. We had a great stay and really enjoyed the spa pool and the coffee machine!

Our family really loved our stay here, it was so peaceful and quiet… the house has homey feel and a hour drive from the beautiful beaches, we loved that the cows were right outside our fence, lots to enjoy! Thank you !

Location is excellent - the main high street is a few minutes walk away, and in 10 mins you can be on the beach. Facilities are exactly as described and shown in the pictures. Kitchen was a little dated but fully functional and had everything needed to throw together an easy meal. The shower over the bath only just reached the top of my head so anyone tall would have to get creative! Communication was excellent start to finish. Clear instructions. A very helpful book with tips and ideas of places to go. Would absolutely book again. Thank you!

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 had a two days family holiday and ‘the trap’ was a fantastic getaway ! We have a 6 yo and two teenagers and all of them really enjoyed themselves with the spa, and bikes and the many tv selections! We had a great pizza dinner tgt with the outdoor pizza oven too. 10 min drive from the beach and super market, very convenient. We highly recommend it !

Beautiful location and fantastic view. The house was modern, spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay.

I love love love this place !! We didn’t want to leave , we didn’t meet Elly in person but she was so amazing 😍, definitely going back to this place we LOVED it !

I was part of a wedding party for days-long wedding festivities up the road and Jeremy and Rae's Tiny House was the perfect retreat from the chaos – as well as a blissful place for us to do hair and makeup looking out over the peaceful paddocks! Jeremy and Rae are super lovely, helpful and friendly and I really appreciated the little extras – from chocolate biscuits in a tin, to bringing coffee while we were getting ready for the wedding. Highly recommend The Tiny House for a rural escape that's not too far from AK City!

Our stay here was fantastic! The view is amazing, we had a nice sunset, we were amazed to see a border collie herding in the morning (which was surprisingly super quiet!). The house is cute and there's everything that you need. We took the meal option and it was great! We definitely recommend!

An absolutely wonderful stay! Beautiful area, private setting, and a great location to access everything Hamilton has to offer. If you want a quiet and peaceful stay in the Hamilton area and friendly hosts, I would highly recommend this stay!

Exceeds expectations and all the comforts of home. I settled in and loved my time at Cosy Cottage. I highly recommend it; especially if you love the beautiful countryside and scenic vistas.

It was very worth to stay there. Laura and her husband are lovely people and our dog had a great time playing with Mack (their Labrador). The breakfast is cooked right before the time agreed and it was absolutely delicious. We definitely recommend.

Fantastic accommodation great pool communicative hosts would love to be back

Very comfortable stay, in beautiful surroundings on a dairy farm. Central too. So not too far to shops, cafes and restaurants. We had lunch at a blueberry farm close by, and visited Hobbiton.

Unit is quite small but perfect for my requirements as I was travelling solo. Palm Beach location is ideal for quiet, relaxing holiday as out of the main tourist areas but has reasonable cafe and restaurant next to the beach. Buses go passed the front door for easy access to all other parts of the island. Would happily stay here again.

Lydia's place I can't recommend enough. we were over that way for a friend's Wedding which was just 7 minute walk from out accommodation. loved John the dog, he showed us around inside even sat down ( like welcome 🤣) really good spot 👌. Apart from been unwell I loved our stay and felt really safe.

Paula's place was great! Such a great location to stay at in Auckland. Plenty of space with 2 separate rooms with Queen sized beds. Very nice washroom. We really appreciated how friendly and welcoming Paula and her partner were. Recommended for a amazing, relaxing stay in Auckland!

We had a fabulous stay thank you. Beautiful location and house was exactly what we were looking for. Garden and spa perfect for relaxing evenings. Thank you!

From the moment we arrived, it was bliss. Beautiful location, cute accommodation and good facilities. Breakfast bits an added bonus. Cambridge nearby was handy for BBQ bits, although we struggled to work the BBQ but our host came to the rescue! The biggest compliment we can give is that we are gutted we only had one night here. Would definitely stay here again if we ever visit NZ.

beautiful spot to stay. amazing view of Oceans Beach. Kathryn was very welcoming and greeted us on arrival. Private, comfortable bed, gorgeous view of the Forrest from bathroom, absolutely lovely spot to stay. highly recommend,

Belinda was incredibly helpful and quick to reply before and during our stay. The place was just as described and a perfect spot for us to get to Papamoa beach!

We had a lovely few days at Sue’s place. We flew in from the UK super early and Sue was kind enough to let us check in early. The apartment is beautifully decorated and the furniture was very very comfortable (perfect for the jet lag). And the bathroom was a thing of dreams. Sue was very friendly and responsive to messages but was happy to just let us crack on. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Auckland, closer to nature but still very close to the main city.

My friend and I had the most amazing stay at Nina's place. Everything was comfortable, very well equipped kitchen, relaxing outdoor bath and comes with a fire pit. We were lucky that the weather was so sunny in the day and clear skies in the night. We got to see 3 shooting stars! We also get to meet the farm animals sheep, goat, chicken, cows and rabbits. It was so much fun! Thank you so much!!
