Holiday rentals with a patio in Hokianga Harbour

Doves Bay was a wonderful place to unwind. Such a treat to wake up to the beautiful view. We loved having breakfast on the deck in the morning sun, watching the tuis and fantails flit through the garden. Even heard kiwis calling at night, and the stars on a clear night are incredible. There’s a lovely walk down to the beach. Ivan and Vivienne were lovely, thoughtful hosts and the place was well-equipped, superbly clean and very comfortable.

Beautiful Airbnb and they were flexible with a last minute booking as we’d made changes in our plans to see family. Thanks a lot Karmen. Defs recommend.

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! 🙂

An absolute dream house! Stunning apartment with a gorgeous view. You definitely feel like spending a holiday with style :) Breakfast at Seaside restaurant are mind blowing! Best coffee in town. Plus! You get a discount :) We had the best time there. Will definitely recommend and we will repeat! Thanks!

The house was perfect for the five of us. It has lots of space, the hosts were very generous with the condiments and the space was light, comfortable and really clean and tidy. The wi fi was also brilliant!. While the house is nice and peaceful it is a short drive to the shops and about 10 minutes from the beach. We didn’t find this a problem and Leone and Mark were awesome to deal with.

Loved our stay! Location was perfect for our stay. Directly across from the Marina where we had activities. Lots of great restaurants within walking distance. And super close to grocery stores as well. The apartment was comfortable and very clean. Thanks for a great stay.

Lovely place, with everything you need. Pretty view towards the coast.

What an amazing place!! Absolutely perfect location (the car stayed in the park all weekend); immaculately clean; lovely treats left for us and great pool. And incredible with check out. Loved our stay!

Lance is very accomodating host and easy to communicate with. And very considerate!

Nice and central. 100% would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Whangarei. Awesome hosts and a lovely home.

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 had the best stay at Linda’s property. The quiet little town of Russel was incredible, and everything was within walking distance from the house. The house is beautiful and had everything we needed for a fantastic week. Linda is an incredible host, and was able to help us whenever we had questions. We could not recommend this place more!

Clyde's place was spectacular. A great place to stay would highly recommend.

Our whānau had a wonderful stay at Rawiri’s Airbnb. Rawiri was exceptionally responsive and helpful throughout our visit. We were truly impressed by his warm hospitality and manaakitanga. The two adjoining properties — which we hadn’t realised were connected — far exceeded our expectations. Everything was clean, modern, and spacious, providing the perfect environment for our whānau to relax and enjoy. Ka nui te mihi ki a koe, Rawiri. We look forward to returning in the future!!!

Great family base for us, and a few steps to the beach

Francine’s house is located at a quiet residential area,five minutes drive to restaurants and shops. the rooms and bathrooms are specious, the deck is overlooking at a beautiful view of the forests very relaxing.Thank you Francie for your prompt response and the late check out. Francie we had a good time at your home however the stairs at the entry were challenging for my husband as he had difficulty going up and down the stairs, not suitable for people with disabilities. I should have checked that out .Highly recommend if the stairs are not an issue.
