Cottage holiday rentals in Bay of Plenty Region

Excellent stay and so close to everything. Easy check in and clear communication made everything seamless. Would recommend staying again. Only thing we did not use was the hot tub as we were unsure when it was cleaned or maintained last. All else was perfect!

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!

Thank you for a PERFECT stay! Your home is beautiful in a picturesque setting. We enjoyed every moment!

Beautiful, spotless space with everything we could need. Great for the kids. Thank you Lynley for sharing your bach with us

Perfect little batch, very easy walk to the beach and a close bike ride or drive to shops, cafes, and handy to the Mount. We had everything we needed here and would stay again.

My partner and I really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage! Quite spacious for us as we had our 8 month old daughter with us. Porta cot fitted nicely into the room. The spa was a nice touch to come home and end the night with after spending the day with friends and family. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a small, quiet and private cottage. We hope to be back soon 😊

We loved our stay at Shaw Cottage. The check-in was very easy and everything was open for us when we arrived. The cottage was just like the pictures, super clean and had all the amenities we needed. The hosts even provided the ability to wash our clothes. Highlights: Communication: Marie responded immediately and kindly to anything we needed Location: The cottage is a bit out of the way, but that is what we were looking for. Very quiet and private - beautiful county scenery. We were looking for something situated between the coast (Te Puke) and Rotorua and this fit the bill perfectly. Comfortability: The cottage was cozy and all the windows made for a bright and warm atmosphere. Bed, couches, chairs were very comfortable. Cleanliness: Everything was clean, neat, and well kept up. We would definitely stay here again!

A great old school kiwi bach. Close to Two Mile Bay. Super easy and had everything we needed. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks

We couldn’t have picked a more perfect spot for our mini-moon! From the moment we arrived, we were in love—gorgeous flower gardens, dreamy hydrangeas, and the most charming vintage decor that was so our vibe. Every little detail was thoughtful and welcoming. Our small dog, Hazel, was just as happy as we were, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and exploring the garden. It felt like a cosy, romantic escape while still having all the comforts of home. We truly didn’t want to leave! Love, love, love—would stay again in a heartbeat! 💕✨🐾

We stayed a night on our way homes d it was perfect for that. Easy to find, very clean. Fab for our wee poodle as well

Great little house with everything we needed. Short walk to the beach and some great places for brunch. Loved we could take our dog

This is such a gem being right on the beach and even in stormy weather a treat to watch surfers and listen to the crashing waves. Simple, quaint and perfect for our family of four would stay here again!

Amazing house, beautiful outdoor area with a huge fireplace for winter, easy location, close to New World. 10/10 stay, thank you!

Our family had a fantastic stay at the Cheeky Tūī. It was perfectly set up for our two young boys who especially enjoyed the box of Duplo and the trampoline. We had an excellent time exploring the nearby lagoon and were lucky enough to spot trout spawning in the steam. Looking forward to our next adventure at Lake Tarawera!

Beautiful location and home with an amazing host. Julie was wonderful and we had a fantastic stay - the photos don’t do this house and views justice. A special thank you for the basket of treats waiting on arrival and the ability to bring our Labrador dog with us who had an amazing time in the fully fenced property with beautiful beach nearby. Thank you Julie for a lovely stay and for your amazing communication - we are very grateful. Love this home!

Cosy and tranquil place next to some adorable baby sheep. Glad we popped by!

They stay was genuinely such an incredible experience. Especially we were looking for a place that was relatively isolated but still close to the city :)

A dream of a place to relax and use as a base for exploring the area. The special touches and loving care that Kim and Bryan put into every detail of the home — from garden beauty to kitchen necessities to lovely wall decorations — made for a very memorable experience. We didn’t want to leave! The hosts were gracious, welcoming and helpful with ideas of places to visit. And the star gazing on the deck was an unexpected bonus.

Living in an avocado orchard with fruit trees in your backyard, is an experience in itself! The house itself is better than the pictures. We got rained out and made the most of the beautiful place. It’s perfect for a staycation! Loved everything about the place and would highly recommend to anyone

A beautiful location to stay, the scenery and atmosphere made our trip an incredible experience. We felt very relaxed and at peace. It felt as though we were in the middle of nowhere, when actually we were only a few minutes drive from Taupo town. Loved it.

Had such a wonderful stay! The place was incredibly clean, quiet, and spacious. I really appreciated the thoughtful touches, especially the fresh avocado, eggs, milk, and toast provided for breakfast. It was such a nice way to start the morning! The bed was super warm and comfortable, we slept so well. Rupali and her husband are super welcoming and friendly! - gave us recommendations for local lookouts and offered to feed the sheep. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and cozy getaway.

We loved our stay here. The place was extremely clean and furnished beautifully. The bed and sofa were super comfortable. The beach was just down the road and easy to get to. There is an also fire pit and bbq. We are definitely going to try and stay here again !

Booked for staff to stay - no issues, good communication from host, nice place to stay thank you.
