Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in Bay Of Islands

Lisa & Antony were really lovely and welcoming. Thank you for the beach and hiking tips! The accommodation was quaint, and had a certain romance to it. It was easy to find, clean and comfortable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Lisa and Anthony. They are very welcoming and their place has a great, homely feel. The surrounding nature is very relaxing and is close to Waipu. Mangawhai is a short 15 minute drive. The accommodation was also well priced. We would recommend staying here if you are looking for that traditional homestead feel with welcoming hosts.

Jennie’s place is set in a beautiful garden with a rural feel yet you are able to walk into town in a few minutes. Both Jennie and her husband are very friendly and responsive to any need you might have. The place is comfortable and has its own entrance. We felt very welcomed there and the provided breakfast was above all our expectations! And, they gave us a ride to the airport, too! Would not hesitate to stay there again!

Excellent host. Beautiful house. Comfortable bed. Lovely breakfast. Great history. Deb is passionate about her b and b.

We had an absolutely gorgeous stay at this property. I wish we were there for more than one night! The hosts were so friendly and we were blown away by the beautiful surroundings and comfort of our cottage. Everything was perfectly clean and we felt right at home. The views, especially from the shared pool and spa area are unbeatable. We also loved feeding the sheep who live on the property! I highly recommend booking as it was one of the highlights of our 3-weeks in New Zealand.

A beautiful home set in the most gorgeous, peaceful location. We requested to book very last minute which Lisa kindly accepted so that we could have a night of luxury before our flight home. Lisa & Anthony were both so friendly and hospitable. Our suite was immaculate, amazing soft sheets and a big bath. The breakfast was so thoughtful with homemade marmalade, fresh fruit, muesli and croissants. We loved being able to chat to other guests with a glass of wine and getting to know our hosts. Really enjoyed our stay, would definitely come back.

Allan was a fantastic host who made us feel very at home from the moment we arrived. The breakfast and fire that he prepared for us were extra nice and he was there to answer every single question that we had. The place was also very comfortable and close to the beach, and we were very satisfied with everything. Great experience!

We were after a place for some rest and relaxation and we found the Mangawhai lodge to be just that. Although it rained the 3 days we were there the room, the view felt super cosy. We spent quite some time reading, watching tv or just listening to the rain. The veranda overlooking the waterways was perfect. Jeanette was friendly and very accommodating. Thank you for hosting us.

Very special place in the middle of the forest. Exhuberant vegetation, vegetables and fruits ready to harvest. Kind company always ready to help. Authentic vintage atmosphere. Three hens, one ruster and five friendly dogs (usually only two small ones). Don't miss it !

This was the second time we’ve stayed with Deb. The Garden Suite both times. The bedroom has French doors that open on to an exquisite private garden. The bedroom is firm and comfortable. A hallway with a couple steps takes you into your own kitchen/sitting room which is supplied and furnished to complement the historic building. Deb is a welcoming host who provided homemade bread, jams and fresh eggs for breakfast. Enchanting place. So glad we had the opportunity to stay again.

Worth spending three nights here. Very welcoming and helpful. Gave me very good tips for the daily activities and what to see. But mostly important I felt like at home. I hope to come back one day. I huge recommend it❤️

We stayed with Al and Murray for 5 nights and they were just absolutely lovely. We were not there as tourists but to sort out a personal storage unit after losing our sailing boat in the pandemic. Al and Murray provided a home from home for us during this difficult week. The spa is fabulous and extremely relaxing. The pool is spotless. The room is comfy, spacious and airy and the bathroom / shower huge, pristine and well-appointed. We could use the kitchen as needed and the breakfast was excellent. If I could give these guys 6 stars I would. Thank you and we hope to see you in Europe one day.

Great spot for a night away. The room was very clean and had great amenities. Very nice and peaceful. The spa was an added bonus too.

Duncan and Penelope are a great couple, very welcoming and lovely to talk to. They really made us feel at home and very obliging. I would definitely recommend them for their lovely hospitality and home

Highly recommend. Carolyn and her family are so helpful kind and welcoming. The place was perfect for our needs on our short holiday. They treated our kids like part of the family. We spent alot of time with the horses, Carolyn was so patient and helpful teaching our kids to ride for the first time. The pool was great being inside right on the doorstep of the rooms it didnt matter what the weather was doing. Location is peaceful and quiet but close enough to the beaches nearby. Very helpful instructions to find the place, Everything was perfectly clean and tidy upon arrival. Thanks Carolyn, Grant and Phoebe!

Gayle ist eine tolle, großzügige und sehr freundliche Gastgeberin. Die Räume sind sehr schön, außerdem eine tolle Terrasse mit fantastischer Aussicht und eine großartige Küche! Das Haus ist ein Art Deco Traum. Wir kommen gern wieder!
