Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana : locations de vacances dans des cottages

We had the most wonderful stay at Michelle's place celebrating our anniversary! From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed with bubbles, and chocolates—such a thoughtful touch. The platter was absolutely worth it—generous in size, beautifully presented, and packed with a variety of fresh, high-quality ingredients. It had everything from gourmet cheeses to fresh fruit, nuts, and artisan crackers. We highly recommend adding it to your stay! The space itself was modern, beautifully designed, and absolutely spotless. The highlight for us was definitely the hot tub and sauna, perfect for unwinding while soaking in the stunning views. It was exactly what we needed to completely recharge. Every detail was carefully considered to make our stay special, and we truly appreciated it. We can’t recommend this place enough and will definitely be coming back. Thank you for an unforgettable getaway! 💛✨

We can't speak highly enough about the place. It's a little haven where the atmosphere and surroundings almost force you to kick back and forget about [almost] everything and just enjoy. The surrounding areas compliment the accommodations, and the local people reflect the laid-back approach to life. With pristine beaches, great food from the local cafes and restaurants through to the weekend markets there is something for everyone here.

I promise you will not regret your stay here. My husband and I stayed here during the first part of our honeymoon & it exceeded all expectations. Sarah is an excellent host and the area is truly breathtaking. When we first pulled up, it looked like one of the cows was waiting for us :) There was fresh milk & muffins waiting on us when we got there in addition to a personalized sign for our honeymoon. The house is intentionally decorated with a nice minimalist/boho vibe. 10/10 recommend!

Such a beautiful home 'away from home' 😊 very cosy, clean and charming. Anything you would need has been thought of. Wonderful surroundings, private and peaceful. So tastefully put together. Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous place with us ☺️

Nicollette’s place was the perfect getaway—serene, beautiful, and unbelievably peaceful. The sunsets were absolutely breathtaking, and the whole space just had this calm, grounding energy. The house itself was clean and tidy, with super comfortable beds and a pristine kitchen that made us feel right at home. The spacious grounds were amazing to walk around, and in warmer weather, you could just throw down a towel or mat and read on the grass. Loved the little details too—plenty of fridge and freezer space, great WiFi, and even a lawn game to keep us entertained. Plus, Nicollette was an incredible host, super responsive to any random questions we had. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place to unwind for a weekend.

Michele was a lovely welcoming host. The cottage is exactly as described and equipped with an incredibly comfortable bed. Michele went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. The outdoor bath was a nice touch. 10/10! Hope to return 😀

Rachel’s place is tranquil with beautiful accomodation and the most amazing views of the lake! The heated spa with the views is something special. All the extras with farm eggs and milk etc was really appreciated. Rachel and her family are very welcoming and friendly and the local advice was excellent. Loved our time here and highly recommend!

Perfect spot for a relaxing wekend with friends. We loved how close it was to the beach and the bikes made it so easy to get around Omaha. Kate was super helpful and accommodating.

I had a great stay here, the house was immaculate, and well stocked. An easy place to stay while enjoying the local activities in Waipu. Beautiful outlook and for a rural property felt like it wasn’t too far off the beaten track. Highly recommend :)

Lovely cabin with everything you need and plenty of comfort! Set in a gorgeous location with amazing views. Would love to visit again. Thank you Gayle

This was a wonderful place to stay. Within 10 minutes of arriving we were sitting on the front patio enjoying the beautiful view. We had a great stay !

Fantastic views and space for the price! This is perfect for all types of occasions with a group of family or friends. The host was responsive and we were given clear instructions on everything regarding to the house, check in, directions, recycling, etc! Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful 10 days in this cosy cottage in The Mount. Entry and exit were extremely easy and Antony was very helpful letting us enter a few hours earlier than the stated time. The cottage was very clean and well equipped, we were able to cook several meals including a BBQ. The location was amazing, it took 5 minutes to walk to the nearest beach and then 20 minutes along the boardwalk to get down to the main beach at the base of the Mount. The beaches are lovely, so clean with easy swimming conditions and plenty of surfing if wanted. There are lots of good restaurant choices all within easy walking distance. We ventured out and did some waterfall hikes and a visit to Rotorua to the thermal pools. Antony was super easy to communicate with and helped make our vacation very relaxing and enjoyable.

Our sailing team of students and adults stayed at this beach house. Everything was as we expected and everyone enjoyed their stay! Thanks for always being so resposive and communictaive. Much appreciated! We would highly recommend this beach house!

Great location, very quiet, peaceful, had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting on the front patio and watching the sun set and birds and even a couple bunnies. House was very quiet and a great size for our family of three.

A Peaceful and Authentic Farm Stay Experience with two great hosts either stunning night skies. Our stay at Sunday Country Cabin was truly magical! The peaceful countryside setting provided the perfect escape from city life. The cozy accommodations and warm hospitality from Gary & Michael made us feel right at home. Apart from the stunning views and absolute calmness, this place also provides a great flexibility to visit Rotorua and Tauranga both in a single day, which is of course a cherry on top. Nights were especially breathtaking—calm, quiet, and perfect for stargazing. With no city lights around, the sky lit up beautifully, making for an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a serene retreat with stunning night views, this is the place to be. We can’t wait to return!

I stayed at the cottage for a week and it was a very peaceful place to stay. Very cute cottage, comfortable bed and couch, lots of space. Felt very welcome there. Definitely a great place for anyone looking for somewhere more quiet.

Such a peaceful location in lovely surroundings. The bed was very comfortable and the cottage cosy. Jasmijn was a great host and very welcoming and friendly. Matt’s whitebait fritters were to die for and the whole experience was relaxing and a good way to recharge one’s batteries.

Kathryn’s place was amazing! We loved our stay. I couldn’t believe how well stocked it was. Everything we needed was there. It was extremely comfortable. The hospitality was so welcoming and we felt right at home. The view and the serenity take the cake though. Not often you get ocean, mountains, pastures, cows etc all at one place. Definitely recommend.

Despite only staying one night in Kakariki cottage we thoroughly enjoyed our time there and wished we could have stayed longer! The cottage is absolutely lovely and features a well-appointed kitchen, a cosy living space and a spacious bathroom. We loved the open mezzanine for the bedroom! The surroundings are gorgeous and very peaceful. Having your morning coffee on the terrace is a must. Breakfast essentials are provided. Thanks Courtney for the lovely stay!

A great option for a weekend getaway, so close to town and at the same time private and peaceful. Tasteful decor and thoughtful little touches from the hosts (like good quality teas/coffees, granola..) Minutes from a beautiful walkaway around the lagoon with amazing views. Highly recommend!

Sue is a lovely host and the accommodation is clean and comfortable. A great location, beautiful countryside.

We had an amazing 3 night stay at Andy’s place. The place is beautifully decorated and spotless. It’s really peaceful and relaxing but also super easy to get into town and to the tourist spots. Definitely the nicest Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in!

The place was exactly what we needed. Very comfortable and great views. Would definitely recommend! Thanks Liz!
