Holiday rentals in Te Araroa

What a peaceful place to be - we didn’t want to leave. We had a wonderful time here with whānau from Germany and our 16 months old toddler. We all loved it, so much space to run around, so much time to watch the waves crushing in, go for walks along the beach or read books. Or have a snooze on one of the comfy beds. It’s a simple typical Kiwi bach that has everything you’d possibly need to create the most beautiful memories. Thank you for having us. We hope to be back.

Was a great place to stop - beautiful scenery off the porch, made our own dinner and the kitchen had everything we needed. Great spot!

Enjoyed the historical ambience! Baking was delicious! Bill was very responsive and friendly. We have enjoyed seeing the Rast Cape.

Jaye and Brent helped us out when we got stuck on the beach above and beyond. Also gave us fresh fish the first night awesome. We loved them and the lodge so much we stayed an extra night. The scenery and views are absolutely stunning. We will be going back with friends. Thanks Jaye lots of love Shaz and Paul

Thanks for having us! On arrival we were incredibly surprised by the beach being almost at the door step was able to experience the sunset and the sunrise with only a 2 minute walk (if that) which was priceless! The place itself was comfortable from the warm greeting on arrival, the amenities, the bed and the lovely hosts! Was a wonderful stay, thanks again!

We were blown away by the very pleasant home after a long drive on twisty roads. I especially loved the recliners that allowed a relaxing change from the car. The beds were great, although sleep time was too short since we met our guide for Mt. Hikurangi at 4:00 am. In short, it was an amazing experience and one we will remember for a long time.

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Sand Dunes Studio. The studio was just as described very private and quiet. Sue is a great host making us feel very welcome. The beach is just a short walk away and is lovely. We look forward to visiting again.

A really peaceful and beautiful place to stay. A warm welcome by the host and the dog. So much history in the area and very friendly people. Loved it. Great meals at the local hotel.

The Stay at the Chick inn was lovely and comfortable. We really enjoyed the place and interactions with Maddy were friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in a peaceful spot
