Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Hawke's Bay

Wainui beach is a fantastic location with surfer like atmosphere. The house was elevated from the sand but 10 stairs away. House has very high ceilings making it seem huge! The living areas face the beach. We had 3 couples staying and it was perfect.

What a great week we had at Nicky’s! The architectural home was really cool, and a perfect setup for our family. The real gem is the property - there is so much to do and explore! There’s a whole separate area down a small hill from the house that is a magical step into the lovely surroundings; so much local flora and fauna to discover! Great house with kids as there was no lack of screen-free entertainment. Would go back in a heartbeat!

We had such a lovely time at the property, thank you. Plenty of space, both indoors and outdoors - nicely decorated and homely. Fantastic heated swimming pool! The kitchen was really well equipped - the coffee machine was excellent. Also really appreciated the aircon on a hot day. Would love to come and stay again sometime, thank you.

Probably my favourite AirBnb so far! Stunning home, gorgeous views, friendly welcome and had everything needed and more! They have thought of everything! Also had the best sleep ever, I didn’t want to leave. I will be back as soon as I can!

Second time and will be back again. . Great place and fully fenced for dogs is great. Such a peaceful place and close enough to the beach to still have your own slice of paradise

We went there with my families for the easter holidays (4 nights) . The place was very homely. The master bedroom had entrance way to another room so could be good for family with children sleeping together. The outdoor and fireplace was great to sit around. The kitchen and sitting room area was great. The pool is heated but if the weather is cool the pool is cold, not as heated as we would have wanted but was still enjoyable for our family. If you are planning a visit to Havelock North or nearby it is a lovely house for hire .

We had a great few days at John’s place in Taupō! The large space and number of bedrooms worked well for our group of 11 and the gardens, trampoline and spa were well used! Really quiet area yet close to everything we wanted to do. John was very communicative and responsive.

Very comfortable and beautiful home in a safe spot close to town. Had everything I need for a very comfortable stay.

When you think Airbnb , this is the standard you expect . This cabin is in a beautiful quiet location right on a small stream, you can watch fish swimming up and down in the crystal clear water whilst you BBQ some food . Private entrance which makes the area secure and comfortable. Spotless interior and a comfortable bed with a smart TV. Only work ons I have is that the kitchen could have some more basics for cooking or a small coffee machine would be superb. Great stay and would recommend to anyone .

Had a great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It’s a bit further out of town, but that actually made it more peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely recommend if you’re after a quiet spot to unwind.

Rose was an amazing host, topped only by the wonderfully unique experience offered by her seaside cabin! It was a true escape from the mundane, requiring a short drive on unpaved paddocks to access, adding to its charm and authenticity. (When returning after dark, watch up for furry and featherly neighbours!) You are then greeted with a self contained tiny home nestled between Rose's well groomed farm and the untamed ocean. This is a truly secluded retreat with beautiful sunrises over the pacific, dancing birds, meditating goats and endlesdly soothing sounds of crashing waves. The cabin is well equipped with a mini kitchenette (no microwave), heating, luxurious bathroom and cosy bedroom with a beautiful view of the ocean, and external utilities including a fire pit, BBQ and even a canoe (we did not brave it). Rose was an amazing host, greeting us on arrival and teaching us how to access the cabin. Her Sunday only cafe, the Farmshop, is also highly recommended, especially the pizza!
