Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Opua

I stayed here a few days after my wedding with my husband, 2 small children, parents and siblings. The house was amazing, especially the view of the ocean from the deck. The place was clean, nicely decorated, well stocked and Kirsty communicated really well. She even left us a card and bottle of cava to celebrate our wedding! It was private but a 3 min drive to central Russell. The driveway was steep but easily fit our 4 cars. We cannot fault our stay at all and I would definitely stay here again. We saw fantails, Tuis and weka and the garden was beautiful.

Such a lovely place in a lovely part of the world. Karen's place was beautifully appointed with everything we could have needed for a great stay. The outside space was a great place to relax on the hot sunny days and the beach only a minute's walk away. Great place for a relaxing break

Wow! Jubilee Eco Retreat is amazing. Silv and Steve are wonderful hosts. They met us on arrival and had some treats waiting for us. We were able to use the ATV to get up to the absolutely stunning cabin. Itʻs peaceful, quiet and private. Definitely a retreat from the business of our daily lives. The cabin had everything we needed so much that we didnʻt want to leave. We cooked pizza one night, grilled another night and took in the sunset with a glass of wine and a soak in the hot tub. If youʻre looking for a respite to relax with amazing hosts, this is the place. We canʻt wait to return. Thanks Silv and Steve!

"We had the pleasure of staying at Jessica's house for the second time, and it was just as wonderful as our first visit! The property is clean, beautifully maintained, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

We had a great weekend trip away at Bobba’s Bach, it was exactly what we wanted for our family of 7. Peaceful and private, with room for all of us, and didn’t feel squished. Was suitable for young children too with big back yard, and walking distance to Russel and other surroundings. We will definitely be back next summer.

This has been one of the most beautiful airbnbs we have stayed in so far. The view was absolutely amazing, the house was so cosy we directly felt very welcomed, clean and so much attention to detail. We loved the garden with a great amount of herbs, fruit and veg which we could use for cooking. The communication absolutely smooth and nice - we could even have a late check out which was fantastic. Would love to come back!!!

We had a wonderful stay in this home. Everything was immaculate, modern and had everything we needed and more. The kids room had toys and story books which was appreciated as we had a 1.5 year old. There were plenty of games and puzzles which provided hours of fun for everyone. It’s close to Paihia and even closer to main supermarket which was convenient. The hosts were very helpful and polite. The home was very thoughtful and considerate to guests. We appreciated the stay :)

Great location Superb bay Lovely beachfront house Clear instructions

Perfect place to stay in the perfect location!

The home is very well set up and it is very well resourced eg plenty of towels, laundry powder and insects repellent and sun screen. We felt very well looked after. The setting is very quiet and private.

Deborah and Daniel were fantastic hosts. They were so very kind and helpful. The apartment is set up with everything you might need. Very comfortable! We specifically loved the kayaking! And the sweet cats! What a lovely experience all around!

Wonderful private studio overlooking the Tamaterau Bay. A very peaceful location to chill outside and enjoy a sunrise or sunset. Friendly hosts too. Would highly recommend.

Our group of four had a great time at Peter and Jacqueline’s place and would definitely recommend it to others. The view was amazing (all the bedrooms had water views!). They were so helpful and the two resident cats were charming little co-hosts. We also enjoyed the spa on the upstairs deck—a great way to relax after a day of touring.

The Stairs are worth the Effort. Highly Recommended. The Penthouse is a perfect place to stay when in Paihia. The location is ideal and within walking distance of the shops and beaches, the ferry over to Russel and out onto school road for the Lookout Track. The elevation gives you a great perch to look out onto the coast and outwards, which is great for relaxing after a day of activities. The Apartment is well equipped with all the kitchen ware you may need, the filtered water and the coffee machine are a great touch. Finally, Ange & Nic were very responsive, both before and during our stay, answering all our questions as they arose.

You just can’t beat this location! Walkable to the ferry and many restaurants. And the view is incredibly beautiful!

Absolutely loved staying at Laura’s property. Such a light and bright space with plenty of room. The views were incredible and the lounge, bedroom and deck were a real sun trap. Great location between Mangōnui and Coopers Beach. Wish I’d stayed longer. Thanks for having me Laura.

A beautiful apartment right in the Opua Marina. The view of the boats was peaceful. The apartment is very spacious, beautifully decorated, and super-clean. We had everything we needed for our six-night stay. It’s a short drive to Pahia, and the car ferry makes getting to Russell easy. The hiking track from Opua to Pahia is fantastic. The Marina has a great cafe (live music on Sunday night), a well-stocked general store with pizza and ice cream, and a great take-away spot with fish and chips, burgers, etc. If you’re looking for crazy night life, this isn’t for you. But if you looking for a lovely apartment in a peaceful setting with fantastic views, book it!

It was a lovely relaxing spot to spend a week in a rural setting with sea views out to the Poor Knights islands. A large property, accessed off a private road so very secluded and peaceful. Handy location half way between Matapouri Bay and Tutukaka, although you do need a car to go anywhere. Kitchen was very well equipped including basic supplies. Access to an indoor swimming pool, ability to charge the EV, and use of the laundry was a bonus. The hosts were very welcoming on arrival and explained the facilities and beach access path. Special touches were a bottle of wine and locally made nut brittle on arrival, and acknowledgement of our wedding anniversary which was during our stay. Annette and Bianca were super helpful and responded promptly to any questions.

Imagine a place where every moment feels like a dream. Just steps away, the beach beckons with its crystal clear water. Downstairs, the spa offers a haven of relaxation, while upstairs, the tranquil surroundings and breathtaking harbour views create a perfect retreat. The weather? Absolutely stunning. The house? Imacculate in every detail. Linda, the host? She goes above & beyond, adding delightful touches like quality coffee pods paired with chocolates, a chilled bottle of bubbkes in the fridge, and#a thoughtful welcome breakfast pack. This is not just accommodation; it's#a first class experience that inspires & rejuvenates! It was hard to leave!

Fabulous apartment in an idyllic situation. Beautiful view over the water. Apartment was even better than the photos, spotlessly clean with everything you could need for a few days away. Vicki was a great host, very responsive with great recommendations. Would highly recommend for a trip to Whangarei

Margaret and Glen were perfect hosts. Their place is spectacular, with views that are hard to beat. The only down side was that our stay was too short.
