Cottage holiday rentals in Bay of Plenty

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!

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!

The most caring host I’ve ever dealt with on Airbnb, very understanding and kind, this will be the only place I’ll come back to stay at when I’m back with my family in Rotorua, next time my wife will do all the booking ;) lol

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!

Thank you Rachel. The stay was wonderful and peaceful. You have a lovely space and I would recommend.

This is a fantastic place to stay with all you need. Great indoor, outdoor living. Beautiful lake and easy home for all to enjoy. Lynley was very responsive and accommodating and we’d happily recommend and stay again.

A Hidden Gem for a Romantic Getaway This beautiful cottage is the perfect escape for couples seeking privacy and quality time together. The cozy bedroom, warm kitchen, and inviting living room all contribute to a comfortable and intimate atmosphere. The highlight, however, is the luxurious tub—set in a room that, along with the overall interior design, creates an incredibly romantic vibe. It's truly the best place to relax, unwind, and reconnect.

Marie was so great and accommodating! The place was lovely and had everything that we needed and so much more for our stay. Would love to stay longer and enjoy the relaxing and peaceful time away from the city life. 100% recommend if you are looking for a place to reset and just relax with family and friends!

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! 💕✨🐾

Me and my friends spent a wonderful weekend in Taupo at Sally-Ann's place cooking, drinking tea, and listening to music (thanks for very clear instructions on the Chromecast!). We will carry great memories from the lake and nearby carvings we saw there. Despite the rainy weather, our stay was cozy - thank you for having us!

Really great cottage in amazing surroundings. It was fabulous to be able to take the dog and wander around the farm and see the animals. The cottage is comfortable and functionable rather than luxurious. This suited exactly what I was looking for. Very nicely located near the airport and supermarket, while still a short drive to town and the MTB park.

Great little house with everything we needed. Short walk to the beach and some great places for brunch. Loved we could take our dog

Quintessential kiwi bach. It's rustic which is reflected in the price. Great check-in and absolutely stunning location. So lucky to have been able to bring my dog. Lovely gesture to provide wine and chocolate biscuits.

Tastefully renovated cottage with lovely wooden floors. Detail in funky crockery and glasses, everything you needed to make your own dinners, great selection of games, loved the detail of a coffee machine and beans to freshy grind. Beautiful and sunny out the front. Great back yard if you had young children to run around in.

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!

The setting was beautiful, the house was lovely. The home had everything we needed. Julie’s communication was great and she was really responsive. The kids enjoyed playing spot light at night on the property. Was a lovely place to be with the family and our dog. Thanks

John and Deb are truly fabulous hosts. My children had an opportunity to walk around the land and meet some of the animals. John even allowed us to sample some of his delicious home-grown tomatoes. We felt very comfortable and at home in the surrounds. Not to mention the very generous continental breakfast offerings, making it easy for us to get back on the road for an early start. The dumpling house nearby, is very convenient and tasty. We would not hesitate to rebook.

Lovely character place to stay in country setting. Friendly easy going responsive hosts.

Kaye & John were so easy to communicate with! Their property looks just like the photos. Would recommend for a nice and quiet get away.

Great place to stay. The surroundings were serene. Loved the farm animals. My baby girl enjoyed the most.

Lovely place close to the lake and a quick drive to Rotorua. The patio was super fun to hang out and we loved the outdoor shower. We liked staying here!

An idyllic rural base for exploring the area. Marlene welcomed us with home grown produce and ideas of what to do. All very safe and relaxed. Short drives to fabulous forests trails and thermal pools

Living in an avocado orchard with fruit trees in your backyard, is an experience in itself! The house itself is better than the pictures. We got rained out and made the most of the beautiful place. It’s perfect for a staycation! Loved everything about the place and would highly recommend to anyone

Awesome place to stay out in the country, awesome communication and very friendly people, would definitely stay again 😊
