Beachfront holiday rentals in Kennedy Bay

As a family of 4 including our small dog, we felt at home, loved being on the Matarangi golf course, lake views and easy walkable beach access We made use of the two Trek bikes at the property as well exploring the area. Fully equipped clean kitchen as well as clean bathrooms and linen. The bedrooms are private offering a clever layout throughout. Thanks once again for having us for a short getaway.

Absolutely perfect for us. Get escape away from people and just super relaxing watching the ocean views. The Bach is the typical kiwi bach very easy to feel at home. We will definitely stay again if we can.

David and Lynn are truly delightful! Their accommodations were the perfect place to stay in Tairua. With a warm welcome and a clean, well equipped guesthouse steps from the water we couldn’t have asked for more! We hope to return someday and will recommend their place to others. Thank you for blessing us with your kindness and little slice of New Zealand!

Top host! We were caught with a cyclone and Tim was flexible and accommodating. Highly recommended

Great place to stay, just a few flat steps from Palm Beach.. recommend.

Peaceful getaway with the best view! Roimata made us a warm loaf of homemade wholemeal bread! Bonus was being able to bring our puppy along! 🐶 Perfect spot to relax 😌

Thiis is a magical place with amazing views and a great location. House was equipped with anything we could need and more. Great coffee, lots of cooking oils and seasonings, comfortable furnishings and a very thoughtful guide book. We can't wait to return. Thank you Karin for being a wonderful host and sharing your home with us!

We had a great stay! Beautiful views and spent the weekend fishing and relaxing. Even got to use the kayaks..great spot to be! Thanks Jasmine :)

Closely drivable to town for anything you may need, but an amazing view from this side of town! Perfect little place. Well kept and everything you need inside. Would love to come stay again!

Location was fantastic, and the waterfront sunrise view was beautiful, and a great way to start your day! Enjoyed spending time on the porch. Self check in process was easy, and having a dedicated parking spot right at the stairwell was a huge convenience. Amenities were excellent & the space itself was clean and nicely decorated. We also appreciated Donna’s quick responses and willingness to accommodate our needs on short notice. Her hospitality truly made a difference in our experience.

The apartment is spacious and modern with stunning views over the marina. It is well equipped with everything you could need. We received clear instructions making it easy to find and access the property. We had a very enjoyable few days exploring the beautiful coastline around Whitianga.

This is a great location on the canal front with a view straight down the waterway facing north.The property has its own water access boat/jet ski launching ramp and pontoon which is really convenient. The pool ,spa and deck areas get plenty of sun and great views. The house was very tidy and larger than expected with plenty of areas for privacy if anyone needed that. The kitchen is equipped with all thats expected in a home to cook for a family group and theres a second fridge and kitchenette to use which is helpful. We would come back again for sure.

Amy’s house is stunning, the photos don’t do it justice, a really luxurious stay. It is less than a minutes walk on the beach, and the outside shower is a real bonus when coming back sandy, great design!location wise as well as being practically on the beach, all the town cafes and blackies are easily walkable. Outside space is amazing - pool, bar and hot tub, sofa seating all around the house in both sun and shade, and great dining space inside and out. All bedrooms had comfy mattresses and bedding, clean spacious bathrooms. Generous office Desk space and WiFi was strong. Useful to be able to put our bikes in the garage for safety. Amy was responsive and proactive at making sure we had everything we needed for a lovely holiday. Finally, must mention the whole home smells like a luxury resort, together with all the tropical planting outside it was like a holiday somewhere exotic!

Nice view and fun glamping pod experience. Slightly close to the next pods but overall would recommend!

Had an amazing time at your beautiful place!! had everything you need for a luxurious stay. highly recommend, will be back! 🙂

Great place situated very close to the Ocean in a fantastic area. The daily walks on the beach is very good for body and soul and the facilities are perfect. The area opens up so many options, that it can’t be described - just look it up and go for it.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Taid cottage. Judith’s suggestions for activities in the area were spot on. The views from the house are glorious, and we also enjoyed sunset views from the tiny park across the street. Highly recommend this property for a beautiful and restful stay.

Lovely modern home on river by beach. Beautiful, quiet. Enjoyed kayaking from house to house wish we stayed longer!

“The Great Escape “ is indeed a great escape !! It has been really really well renovated with quality fixtures and fittings Miles and Gloria are excellent hosts that go the extra mile. If you’re going to Whitianga this is the place to be

Loved our stay! Wonderful location, incredibly clean and tidy and had everything we could have ever needed. The outdoor space was perfect for kids and adults alike. Plenty of room for everyone. Kathryn was incredibly responsive and helpful. Couldn’t recommend highly enough

A fantastic find! Really close to the beautiful beach. Nothing like an early morning or sunset stroll. Robyn's place had everything we needed. It was spotless, extremely comfy bed, amazing shower... perfect for the three of us. Thanks so much!

Excellent location, right on the beach and only a short walk to the shops. Wendy is a great host, communicating as soon as the booking was confirmed with essential information.

Absolutely beautiful and serene space. Everything we needed from cooking utensils to cleaning agents were there. Janice was so lovely and responsive. We would absolutely recommend this beautiful spot. thank you for having us ⭐

Wow wow wow! What a place! Michelle was incredibly kind and helpful, her place is immaculately clean and beautifully designed. It’s modern, lush, with plenty of light and everything you need. The place feels new and comfortable. There is a quiet river right in the palm tree garden, with kayaks you can use to explore it. Native birds and trees surround the space. The river access is also a minute away from the beach. You can borrow bikes or surfboards, or shovels to dig out the hot springs hidden under the sands! Even though it rained while we were there, it was a highlight for us. Thank you Michelle and James!
