Ultimate Kiwi Bach

LenaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Excellent stay and so close to everything. Easy check in and clear communication made everything seamless. Would recommend staying again. Only thing we did not use was the hot tub as we were unsure when it was cleaned or maintained last. All else was perfect!

Lake Tarawera, spa, lawn to lake jetty & boatshed

RyanRating, 5 stars3 months ago
This is the second time we have stayed at the lake house in Lake Tarawera, We couldn't recommend it enough! Such an awesome spot if you have a boat or jetskis , If not they have kayaks you are welcome to use. Playground is about a 3-5 minute walk for the kids, Tennis Court is right at your door step. All the neighbors are very friendly and make you feel right at home. If your thinking about booking don't think about it just book it you will have an amazing time!

Rough Meadows - MTB Haven & Good Vibes Retreat

JamesRating, 5 stars3 months ago
The cottage is private, spacious and homey, over looking a pretty valley. We felt good being there and sad to leave. The location is 30 minutes or less from Rotorua and maybe 50 minutes from Huka falls. Watching the Milky Way from the hot tub was a special treat!

Rimu Cottage Lake Views with Spa

ShubhamRating, 5 stars2 days ago
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage. It had everything you'd expect in a comfortable home, making us feel right at ease. The highlight was definitely the spa and the stunning lake view—especially when we caught a rainbow stretching across the water. Just breathtaking. I’d definitely recommend staying here!

The Rose Cottage • romantic & rustic getaway

OliviaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
I loved the Rose Cottage - it felt like a peaceful nature retreat, yet it was so close to the city and the amenities it brings. Gabrielle is a wonderful host and provided a list of things to do in Tauranga and their favourite spots in the area.

The Woolshed

JosieRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We couldn’t have picked a more perfect spot for our mini-moon! From the moment we arrived, we were in love—gorgeous flower gardens, dreamy hydrangeas, and the most charming vintage decor that was so our vibe. Every little detail was thoughtful and welcoming. Our small dog, Hazel, was just as happy as we were, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and exploring the garden. It felt like a cosy, romantic escape while still having all the comforts of home. We truly didn’t want to leave! Love, love, love—would stay again in a heartbeat! 💕✨🐾

Cosy Cottage in Mount Maunganui

AndreaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

Beachfront Bach Wainui Gisborne

KylieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This is really beachfront with a short walk down the stairs. This place made me feel right at home with a real beach bach feel. I wish we could have stayed longer. Was also great to be able to bring our dog who is a member of our family along.

Great old school batch that felt very chill. Awesome to get to use the kayaks and lovely walks nearby. Added bonus was the toy box and the box of duplo which made the stay so much easier with the kids!

HAMURANA COTTAGE

Lovely cottage to stay in, Mel was a great host with prompt communication and put sweet touches around the place like fresh alstroemerias. The surrounding deck and conservatory really gave the cozy home an extension and different zones. Thanks for having us!

Cosy, central cottage to relax and enjoy Rotorua

EmilyRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Great stay in unique cozy home. Full of character and charm that you’d expect of a place like this. Comfortable beds. The washing machine was great to have. Nadia is very responsive and thoughtful. Left a little Easter treat for us! Walkable to grocery store. It’s a fair walk to Eat Streat etc, but we either ubered or drove. We recommend it for a cottage-like unique stay.

Lakehouse Escape

GrahamRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had an amazing four night stay here. The apartment was excellently furnished, the location effectively on the lakefront was fantastic and the outlook across the lake to Mount Tarawera was beautiful. We could not have wished for more. Thank you Murray for being such a great host

The Bach

AnnikaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Delwyn's bach is so lovely. We felt right at home. The homemade bread and breakfast was delicious and a nice treat. The location is good, about 15 minutes away from the central Tauranga area - just tucked away enough to feel like a proper escape. Delwyn is very friendly, helpful and overall an amazing host.

Omokoroa - Original Kiwi Bach House

IanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our stay at the bach was a balm for the soul. Days unfolded in a tranquil rhythm, spent entirely on the sun-drenched deck, where the only sounds were the gentle lapping of the tide and the occasional cry of a seagull. Evenings brought a cozy warmth as we gathered by the crackling fire, the sea's lullaby a constant, soothing backdrop. The bach itself was a haven of peace, a perfect escape from the hustle of everyday life. We explored the shoreline with leisurely walks, the salty air invigorating our senses. The provided water toys added a playful dimension, turning the sea into our personal playground. The proximity to local restaurants meant we could indulge in fresh seafood and local delicacies without venturing far. Each meal was a delight, made even more special by the friendly, welcoming nature of the locals. Their warmth and genuine hospitality added a special touch to our stay, making us feel truly at home. It's a place where time slows down, and memories are made.

Cottage under the Bluffs-Enjoy fresh air and view

JadeRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage! It was peaceful and cosy, the perfect escape from the city. The view from the property was so nice —such a beautiful, relaxing setting. One of the highlights was definitely the tennis court—it was so much fun to have that right on site. Everything was clean and well-equipped, and the host made sure we felt right at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet getaway with a touch of fun!
