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

Rebecca has a beautiful place to host our group. We really enjoyed the pool, spa and the outdoor area for the kids. The house has lots of space to offer, it felt like home. We loved stay there, especially when the weather isn’t great, we still have plenty to do around the house. Thank you for hosting us.

Krystis place was a treat it had literally everything you could think of for the kids from toys to food for the farm Animals we enjoyed our stay very much with only a short trip to town for necessities, highly recommend

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.

Nikki’s place is such a hidden gem in Raglan. With lookout to the bay view and surrounded by bushes and trees. Waking up in the sunshine and birds singing are a nice recharging moment. Nikki is vey friendly, loved the recommended local favourites spots. Will definitely book again when back in Raglan!

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.

Suzy’s place is warm, cozy and inviting and just what we needed on the rainy days we had. The house is beautifully decorated and we enjoyed the pizza oven despite less than ideal outdoor conditions. The photos don’t do the spaces justice! We loved our stay!

The perfect base for a few days exploring the Āwhitu Penninsula. Spotlessly clean and great communication. The view is spectacular- next time I want to try the spa!

Gem of a place just off the highway - wish we had stayed more days. Loved the little additions like breakfast provisions, toys/books for kids and horse paddocks just out the door. Amy was generous with her time in speaking about the horses. Clair and Clayton made us feel very welcome. Would love to come back and stay again soon. Unit is a little weathered but was clean and very comfortable.

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 :)

Thank you for great stay! Ali's place is cozy and peaceful, and there is much more to it than what is listed on AirBnB. Ali is a friendly and responsive host, and was very helpful in providing recommendations for local coffee shops and cafes when I asked about it. Furthermore, Ali was very generous in allowing early check-in and late check-out based on what I needed. There are beautiful beaches nearby to visit, with some cafes and restaurants overlooking the ocean. Definitely consider booking Ali's place when you are looking for peaceful stay in East Auckland.

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!

Great place to stay! Great area to explore and very nice to have a spacious place to come back to. Plenty of good amenities like laundry and espresso machine (2 most important things for us!). Very walkable to beach, local restaurants, hikes, other touristy stuff. Highly recommend!

This was the perfect little retreat for us to unwind and relax! We loved all the little touches that made us feel right at home, they had set the fire up all ready for roasting marshmallows, there was a fantastic selection of tea, and we appreciated the eggs and avocados! The bed was insanely comfortable and the addition of the robes was such a nice touch. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Enjoyed a night away with my wife in this awesome cabin . Clean and tidy . Outdoor bath was perfect . Private space with lots of little add ons like muesli for breakfast , brownie and even bath salts . Corrie was helpful and responsive. Would 100% recommend choosing this spot for a getaway from all the hustle and bustle !

Whhhhhat a place! The fire pit, the tub outside, the sunset over the hills, the comfortable bed and stunning bathroom with waterfall shower! Incredible place, saving for the future!

Lovely cabin with a lot of character and delighted we booked this place to explore the Rotorua area. Its about a 20 min drive to the centre but also lots to do around the cabin area also. Really enjoyed Okere Falls walk and the Okere Falls Store for coffee. Will return again if in the area.

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!

The setting for this cabin is amazing - in a paddock on a working farm, overlooking the estuary and the changing tide. A great place to watch the sunset - especially being 5 mins from Raglan. The cabin itself has everything you need with a comfy bed, gas oven, kitchenette, and tidy bathroom. The deck is great place to sit and admire the view. Bonus to be able to bring our dog and enjoy a paddle in the kayaks provided.

Great location, I would highly recommend anyone to come visit here! Rachel was great host and she was very considerate of the extra needs during the cyclone!

I had a very good stay at Mandy& Benjamin's. The cabin was beautiful, very clean, and quiet. I didn't try the outdoor bathtub and shower because of the bad weather, but otherwise, everything was perfect. I recommend it.
