Whirinaki : locations de vacances en bord de mer

This is a lovely place right in the heart of stunning Hihi Our whānau and little chihuahua Jake appreciated the extra care and open communication our hosts had. Loved their hospitality

We had such a great time at Chloe and Ben's. It was clean and spacious, 1 min walk (if that) to the estuary and five minutes to the lovely surf beach so you could visit several times a day. It didn't need to be a big complicated affair as it was so easy to nip back to the house for food etc. The shower was awesome - very strong pressure. Everything was provided - linen, blankets, pillows, glasses, cutlery etc and all in great condition - and the kitchen was well equipped, including dishwasher and lots of good pans. Loved that we could eat outside on the deck, there was a fenced yard for the dog to run (he was in heaven), plus a trampoline, barbecue and fire pit. The view from the deck was stunning, and the overall vibe of the place was so friendly - from other holidaymakers with kids to the people working at the campsite. Would definitely book again.

It's a little hard to find, but once you get there you are rewarded with an amazing place to stay. Super chill beachy vibe with great outdoor area and fantastic view.

My partner and I had lots of laughs because of the outdoor shower and toilet. Truly an experience especially now that it’s getting colder at night! Definitely something to consider if you shower before bed and use the toilet at midnight! Otherwise, the host was very communicative and unit was as listed. We’re grateful for the stay.

We had a lovely 5 night stay here. A very cute kiwi Bach, with superb views. A short walk down easy stairs to the beach was an added bonus. The Bach is set back from the road so was very quiet and peaceful. 😊

This cabin has amazing views especially if you love the ocean. We enjoyed our stay but there is room for improvement as some things are very worn and need replacing.

Photos don’t do this Airbnb justice. It is right on the shore with beautiful peaceful surroundings. If water sports are your thing equipment is available on site to use. Star gazing in the spa pool was one of our highlights. Lyndsay and Maurice are terrific hosts. Friendly, flexible and happy to chat. The welcome message “as gaeilge” was much appreciated, as was the chocolates. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. Many thanks Lyndsay and Maurice for your hospitality.

Awesome spot! can launch boat out front, plenty of space. peaceful with epic scenery. Ya can't beat waking up on the beach! owners super nice and easy to deal with.

For a winter break it really was perfect. Best spot ever. The best part....The people! Friendly, helpful. Kind. Every eatery was great. Op shop for fishing clothes too! Had great fishing with " Buckos" Dont miss it! Will return. Thankyou. BnM

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.

The cottage has a gorgeous view - such a treat to wake up to it every morning. Really spacious and ideal for a couple. Short drive away from some amazing beaches. Thank you, Kathy!

Perfectly located beachfront in centre of town. Everything to hand we needed and more. A great base for exploring Bay of Islands

10/10 my family of 5 were absolutely spoiled this long weekend. The house was evenly spaced, my 3 kids were able to retreat to their own quarters if they needed it. Hubby and I enjoyed the view of the pool while watching our kids enjoy it. Was so warm! The outdoor shower was a hit, we just showered there as the 5 days we stayed was so sunny/hot weather. The shops were a short 2 mins down the road and the restaurants were 2 mins the other directions, we had pizza one night and Mean burger another night with the Four Square literally right there. Beach and the view 😍👌🏽 we loved our time at the beach! Clear skies and warm day. Thank you for your beautiful home for my family and I to enjoy. Memories banked forever!

Very nice place in a great location. Well equipped and lots of amenities. Lawrence was an exceptional host, communicated quickly and made a special effort on our part.

Can’t say enough good things. The house was amazing, from the unique design, to the location, to the views. Took advantage of the beautiful beach, the hiking trails, the water tank pool, and the incredibly clean and fully equipped house. Hope to visit again soon.

The pictures don't do this beautiful home justice, it's even better in person. Equipped with everything you would expect and more and wowed by the exceptional views. My only issue was that we couldn't stay longer unfortunately but hope to visit again in the future. Thank you for wonderfully comfortable stay.

We felt highly welcome. Vanessa answered a question within minutes and helped out. She asked us if we need anything from the supermarket ( is 45 min. away). Well equipped apartment. Silence. Beach nearly just for us. Perfect. 😀

Vicki hosted me, my partner and our cat as I had business to attend to in Whangārei. The place was just as described in the listing with clear instructions and prompt communication which suited our needs. Vicki was also understanding of our travel arrangements and was able to accomodate our added request which I appreciated. I didn't get a chance to write in the visitor's book but I sure would've shared the same positive feedback. A highlight for me was seeing a kererū in the tree (which I don't get to see in Auckland). Our cat had a blast and was settled.

11 out of 10 ! Claire was outstanding as a host. Spacious, off-street parking (plural), private, clean, fully equipped, comfortable, squillionaire views with almost ‘private’ beach access. Maybe someone didn’t mention the great outdoor shower for getting rid of beach sand ? This place is perfect for family gatherings. There is only one thing not perfect about this place….having to leave !

We almost don’t want to give away too much because we loved our stay so much and don’t want to see it booked out so we can make sure we can come back!!What absolutely sensational spot this is, right from the start when we walked into the lovely ambience of jazz music we were greeted with spectacular views all round the house. The space was so groovy and cosy and we felt right at home, Karl was fantastic in being responsive whenever we had any issues. We loved all the different places to sit and take in the views and each one was so comfortable!! We had gorgeous warm and private swims in the water by the house in the evenings and felt like we were in a tropical landscape when we sat down to dinner at the outdoor table watching the sunset. Karl left some beer and wine which we enjoyed in the spa at golden hour listening to what looked like a set up playlist with great songs on the usb connected to the stereo! Honestley could not have loved this place more, we will be back!!

Dave’s place was perfect for our stay in Russell. Although it’s small, it is very well appointed and makes a great use of the space. We had everything we needed for a weekend stay, including kitchen basics, a flashlight for kiwi spotting, beach towels, and kayaks available. Easy access to a pristine and secluded beach, dark night sky for star gazing, plus exceptional views made this feel like paradise. And to top it off, we took Dave’s recommendation and visited Jim’s Walkway (a nature trail a short walk from the AirBnB) at night and saw a wild kiwi! Would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend Dave’s place to others.

Beautiful spot right on Oakura Bay. If you like swimming, playing in the waves and walking on the beach it is the perfect spot. Would be great for families!

We had a wonderful stay at Val's. The house was well-equipped and had everything we needed for our family group. The location was ideal - just a short walkway over the dunes to the beach. The outdoor deck, complete with bean bags, was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the view of the sand dunes. We highly recommend it!

Great location, great place and great host. Stu was easy and efficient to deal with. The house was exactly as was pictured, I’d say it exceeded expectations. Thank you very much
