Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana

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.

Beautiful and peaceful, great for our short getaway. We loved the spa as well!

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.

What an incredible place to spend time with family. The views are inspiring and there is so much attention to detail with the house and all its furnishings. Honestly, it’s so much better than the pictures. We were all so comfortable from the moment we stepped inside. I’m sad that we only had three nights here and that anywhere we stay after will not compare. Thanks so much Luke for allowing us time in your beautiful home.

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.

Loved this beautiful, quiet spot. Was missing my own pets, so I also enjoyed meeting Scot and Binx. Beautiful surroundings.

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!

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!!

The Airbnb sits on the top of a hill by itself overlooking the farm, and has a wicked view of Tauranga Moana and Mayor Island - so beautiful! The layout was open, but private and we enjoyed the indoor/outdoor flow. The trek down to the river was so worth it, and we got to spend a few hours by the river, just enjoying nature and sounds of the water and birdsong, which we had all to ourselves. The sky was so clear that night, so we enjoyed the outdoor fire while watching the stars. This was a top 5 place for us and we hope to be back at some stage. Thank you Matthew and whanau for being so accommodating and friendly - we appreciate the hard work it took to make such a beautiful Airbnb :)

Thanks for a great stay. It was perfect for us heading back and forth to the rowing for the week.
