Holiday rentals with beach access in Doubtless Bay

This apartment was absolutely brilliant! We only meant to stay a few night but ended up staying more! Kelly was very helpful, and the apartment was perfectly placed in Russell. It had all of the amenities that we needed. We loved it! Thanks Kelly.

Shelley & Graham were amazing hosts, incredibly welcoming and very knowledgeable of the local area. They made our stay in Paihia feel like home away from home, and the guest suite was more than we could have expected ! We will definitely be staying there next time we are in town !

Lovely property with everything you could need! Deborah was a fantastic host - incredibly friendly and kind! 5 mins walk to Hihi beach and town only a short 10-15min drive away this is a perfect spot to explore the area. I’ll definitely stay again if I’m back in the area. Many thanks indeed for letting me stay!

Although the weather wasn’t great, our stay was lovely. Peter and Jacqueline let us know right away that the spa was broken but that they were working to get it fixed as soon as possible. They even brought us chocolates to make up for it. We were very happy to get to use it on our last morning. The view was fantastic!

Lovely place nestled in the hills of Russell. Little drive into the main town but nice relaxed area. Place was spacious. There are a few other rooms but not really an issue. Views are great.

The studio was spacious, airy, comfortable, and had amazing views. We appreciated the well-appointed kitchen and loved the cozy reading chair and hammock chair! John and Aynsley were super thoughtful and provided so many local recommendations. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate during our visit but we couldn’t think of a better place to stay in to read/watch movies/play games and watch the rain through the trees. Don’t hesitate; just book! 🙂

Great location - walkable to Paihia waterfront but away from the bustle of the main road. It was very clean and had everything we needed including kitchen utensils. The bathroom was nice and spacious with the spa being a very nice bonus.

Wendy’s place in Paihia was wonderful! It is in a prime location with parking included, and provides easy access to wharf, restaurants and shopping. It was clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed. Thank you Wendy!

We had such a fantastic stay. The amenities were fantastic, great views and we all felt right at home. Thank you for all the lovely touches of the Easter eggs and home baking too. It was the perfect place to stay in the lead up to our wedding.

Beautiful and well equipped Bach in a peaceful and tranquil place. Stone throw away from the beach. Thank you very much to our friendly hosts (Chloe and Ben) for letting us rent this gorgeous house.

This was a great stop on our way to Cape Reinga. Sorry we couldn't stay longer as there is so much to see and do nearby. Certainly worth a couple of nights if you can...

Fantastic place. Very well placed for the beaches and only a short drive into Mangonui for restaurants. Very comfortable beds, beautiful bathrooms. Highly recommended.

We've just had a lovely 3 night stay with our 2 kids and are already talking about possibly coming back next summer! The house is right on the water (but fully fenced which was great with 2 young girls) and had everything we needed for a lovely relaxing few days away from home. We took the kayaks out a couple of times which our girls loved, and made the most of having a spa on site as well! Really comfortable beds and loved that there was a bedroom for each of the girls. Kitchen had everything we needed, even a box of chocolates for us to enjoy during our stay :-) The girls especially loved the kind gift Lyndsay gave them when we arrived! Thanks again for your amazing hospitality and we hope to see you again!

We had a wonderful stay at Staffa Bay! A beautiful place to be able to holiday at and we thoroughly enjoyed the home and easy access to the beach. Nice view and peaceful spot! Hosts were great with their communication and very helpful in making sure our stay was a good time.

We had an epic stay at Douglas's as we got caught there in a cyclone! The weather was so bad that we lost power, but that didn't matter because Douglas made sure we had everything we needed. He was so kind, and made sure we knew what to do and what was available in town. I'm extremely grateful! The place was tidy and cozy, and you can't beat the location. I would recommend his place to anyone looking to explore and enjoy Russell!

This is the most beautiful house in the most stunning of locations. You will never get tired of the views 😍 Donna was amazing as our host and we will absolutely be returning.

Unique location above the marina. It was great to spend time on the deck watching the comings and goings of all the boats. The place was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. The Marina Cafe across the carpark had great meals that we ate there two nights in a row. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

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.
