Holiday rentals with a kayak in Bay of Plenty

thanks Fiona, we loved our stay and would love to come back. such a great location . 10/10

You can’t beat the view! One whole wall of the house is just windows to the lake. It was so beautiful each morning waking up to that view. Two of the bedrooms are amazing but the downstairs bedroom is small and cramped. Wish there had been one more shower in the home. Overall-outstanding

We had a lovely stay here. The weather was terrible but we were very cosey in the house. Close to shops and restaurants. Great spot

Loved our stay ! So close to the lake . Heaps of room . Clean and tidy ! Would recommend !

We had a lovely stay at Nadine’s place in Kinloch. We were a family of 6 plus 1 toddler and there was plenty of space for us all. The house was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped. We particularly enjoyed borrowing Nadine’s kayaks and exploring lake Taupo. If you are looking for somewhere quiet and beautiful - Kinloch is a gem

A fabulous place to stay for our group of friends . Jeanette was great to communicate with and the house was perfect with everything and more you needed for a fabulous and comfy stay. Love the check in and check out times makes such a diff to our weekend away . Definitely recommend and will hopefully be back :)

Absolutely stunning home, beautiful surroundings and the views were incredible. So peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone.

I met Aimee and she was lovely and so gracious! She gave us great recommendations on what to do in town for the short duration we had. The place was a truly beautiful and peaceful oasis on the lake. Stunning views and gorgeous sunset. The place is gorgeous and the bed is so comfortable. This was one of the best places we stayed at. Thank you so much for hosting us. Five stars all around! :)

Staying at Lucy's was like being in a dream. The perfect, idyllic, lakeside Kiwi-bach, this place matches all descriptions and photos. This place has everything - from a cozy fireplace, to kayaks to explore the lake and a modern bathroom, our family absolutely enjoyed staying here. There was a lot to do and keep yourself entertained with, we didn't struggle with having no wifi. The location is great, only 30 minutes to Rotorua and a lot of places to sightsee on the way there. The only downside of this place is that since it's close to the road there is some traffic noise, especially when big trucks go by. It wasn't an issue for us when staying there since we're city dwellers and accompanied to traffic noise, but if you're a light sleeper definitely bring ear plugs.

The whole stay was amazing such lovely views and comphy accomodation. The lake views in the mornings were stunning . We enjoyed our barbecue meals and the children loved using the bikes thank you.

What a find!!!! Incredible space. Rob clearly loves his home and was thorough in his instructions, which made our stay AMAZING. Thank you, Rob. Top fella

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

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!

Such a great property for a large family to enjoy the simple things. Photos are accurate and place is exactly as described. The reserve next door makes you feel like you have an even larger backyard. Great walks near by, easy access to lake a short walk or 2 minute drive away. Friendly and responsive hosts. Our 2nd time here and will visit again.

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.

Lovely relaxing stay at a classic Kiwi bach. Family holiday with our three kids and we all had a great time kayaking, trying to catch fish, having more success catching mud crabs, going for hikes on the headland, and just relaxing offline. Host Nik is super friendly and responsive, place was exactly what we were expecting and hoping for, and we will be back!! Highly recommend to others who enjoy old school device-free outdoor kids family holidays :)

Had a lovely couple of nights at this idyllic location by the water. Weather was perfect which made it even better. Glorious sunsets and only a quick drive to Rotorua.

The place was absolutely beautiful, would definitely stay there again! It had everything we needed plus more, the hot tub was really nice. Greg was very helpful the entire time too

looking for peace & to switch off from the pressures of city life for a night or two then this is the place for you, Fantastic scenery, private & the option of 3 different rooms. you can hire all 3 and it would be an awesome get away for family or a group of friends. One of the rooms has its own bathroom and the other two shared facilities which were only a couple of meters away in the stockyard shed.All clean safe and great hot shower too! We had the best sleep ever! It is off the grid but the solar power was more than enough for basic power, lighting,charging devices etc.Cell phone reception is patchy but a few steps up to the barn and you well connected to the world again. (also being semi disconnected added to the charm of the place.) Bring all your own food & drinks + maybe a board game or 2 and really just enjoy the awesome spot without having to venture into town &relax. bonus is the use of a private boat ramp, we had our 2 jetskis and had an amazing time exporting the lake

We stayed for almost a week as a family of four. This is one of the best Airbnbs we have stayed in. The Pods were immaculate, exactly as described. The location is fantastic, the view is incredible, there is lots to see and do, and it is very peaceful. We jumped off the rock, went to the squeeze and the baths and stopped in for coffee at Orakei Korako. All magical locations. A short kayak to Paradise Hot Spring a hidden gem. Sherrie & Mark are wonderful hosts, and we will definitely be back.
