This was a great place to stay! It had everything you could need for a short or long term stay! Perfect for our quick stop over with great views even in the rain!

The Blue Breeze @ Gems Escape
Great place and host,will come back if visiting tutukaka again.

Beachfront Apartment, Mangawhai Heads
It's a warm, warm and unforgettable memory.Because it is in the first row of excellent sea view coast, sit on the balcony facing the sea entrance 180 degrees, enjoy breakfast, slip mobile phone, go through magazines, and so on. With the patience, the thoughtfulness of the host couple, it made us "at home". Thanks again to their husband and wife for such a clean, tidy and comfortable place to stay.

Flat 2/Cedar Stone Lodge Matapouri waterfront
Quintessential kiwi batch, located directly in front of beautiful Manapouri beach. Great place to re set the mind and body from busy city lifestyle. Will definitely re book when the chance  arises. Thanks Mark!

Shores - Koru Self Catering Apartment.
Lovely stay, highly recommend Lil's place. The location is awesome, so relaxing, comfortable bed, everything you need for a great stay is provided, love there is a full size fridge, BBQ, washing machine and dryer amongst other essentials. Lil is very helpful and there is plenty of information about walks, where to go and what to see. Being able to walk across the road to the water each day was a bonus and the views from the unit are forever changing as the tides come and go and the sun rises and sets. Some days there are cattle next door at the fence. I highly recommend staying and will return in the near future.

Stunning water views - garden surrounds
Leanne was a wonderful host; excellent with communication and very helpful. The accomodation has a stunning view and is beautifully kept - comfortable, clean and just right for our stay (a two-nighter). The location was excellent; close to the city which has wonderful restaurants - of note The Quay. Highly recommended.

One Tree Point Waterfront Studio Apartment
Had a lovely stay here and the views are amazing as you have the choice of making dinner on the barbecue, and enjoy the restful and peaceful surroundings and el fresco dining:-) Easy to stroll down and walk along the beach also.

Pilgrim's Rest
The apartment is really spacious and well equipped with plenty of towels, a good kitchen and fruit, muesli and yoghurt for breakfast as well as different teas and coffee. Very clean, very tidy, very calm. Thank you so much for having us!

Black Rock Holiday Home - Tutukaka
This was the perfect place for our family reunion of 14 people including kids to stay. The property has a great space in the kitchen, dining and living area to hang out and beautiful comfortable rooms for all of us. It was stunning to wake up to a view of the ocean each morning. Having the 2 large fridges between the butler pantry and kitchen was extremely helpful. Plus the sleepout is a great additional space to use too. We loved being able to easily walk to the beach and explore the rock pools, some of us even braving the ocean coolness to swim. Alan was a great host, always responsive and helpful, thank you! We loved it there.

The Beach Retreat - brand new
Fabulous accommodation in a beautiful area. Stunning house & outdoor area & friendly & helpful hosts. Thank you so much! We thoroughly enjoyed our break away at your spot!

Quiet 4 bedroom modern home close to beach
"We had the pleasure of staying at Jessica's house for the second time, and it was just as wonderful as our first visit! The property is clean, beautifully maintained, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

PATAUA SOUTH "RA PUAWAI" RETREAT
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!

Amazing host, great communication and super clean and tidy house.

Knights in Residence - Ocean Front Retreat
Stunning week away over Easter. We arrived a few hours after a cyclone, which meant no power and water. Anneke was great with all communication about the situation. We chose to stay hoping the power would be back on soon. The next day it was. Meanwhile, Anneke bought us wine and coffee and then arranged a generator so we could shower and charge phones etc. Then we had six glorious days of sunshine with the odd shower. We love walking, so explored all the local walks in the booklets and info guide. Every afternoon we relaxed on the deck just watching the ocean and boats. We ended our days with an outdoor bath, which was Devine. Anneke was a wonderful host. A true legend. The Bach was beautiful, clean, new and private. Highly recommend.

Staffa Bay iconic '70s treehouse
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.

Thistle Do Beach Bach
We spent a night at Merrill’s place on our road trip. The place was very easy to find just off the main road north. Merrill met us at check in a showed us around the house. We were given breakfast provisions for the next morning which was very nice and also some local fruit to try. The property has 2 bedrooms and a combined living room and kitchen with everything you need. The Ruakaka beach is beautiful just about 15 min walk or 3 min drive away. We would stay again.

OTEHEI Luxury Apartment - Bay of Islands Marina
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.

The Apartment
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.

Amazing views.Sandy beach.Spa
Imagine a place where every moment feels like a dream. Just steps away, the beach beckons with its crystal clear water. Downstairs, the spa offers a haven of relaxation, while upstairs, the tranquil surroundings and breathtaking harbour views create a perfect retreat. The weather? Absolutely stunning. The house? Imacculate in every detail. Linda, the host? She goes above & beyond, adding delightful touches like quality coffee pods paired with chocolates, a chilled bottle of bubbkes in the fridge, and#a thoughtful welcome breakfast pack. This is not just accommodation; it's#a first class experience that inspires & rejuvenates! It was hard to leave!

Harbour Palms Apartmentt
Fabulous hosts, lovely accommodation. We stayed for three nights, and all loved it including our puppy. If we didn't have to be back home for things, we would've extended our stay by a couple more nights. I'm sure we will be back again though. Thanks for the lovely stay
