Cottage holiday rentals in Paihia

Wonderful location and fabulous space! Super for our family of four adults and a 2 year old! Amazing host met us at the door! Thank you so much! Will come again!

River Cottage was such a gem! The surroundings were like a jungle, the grounds were beautiful and there was fun activities like board games and kayaks. We were even able to borrow a fishing pole and caught a fish! I enjoyed walking around the farm property and river area. My favorite part was access to a lookout tower off the deck. I made my latte each morning and climbed up there to enjoy it while watching and listening to all the birds. Book this place, it's magical!

Our time at the Shearer’s cottage was absolutely magical. My husband and I stayed with our three children for three nights. We were all utterly delighted when we walked in the door - lots of excited gasps from everyone - the surroundings are gorgeous, the property is thoughtfully appointed and spotlessly clean… far enough from the madding crowd to feel peaceful and secluded, yet still a very convenient drive to Kerikeri and the Bay of Islands. Ian and Anna were very friendly and communicative and made us feel totally welcome. Allow time to make the most of this beautiful place. The dawn chorus is glorious! Make sure you opt in for the spa by the river. We really hope we can visit again. Thank you so much Ian and Anna.

Amazing place to stay. We were blown away with all the wee extras provided. Awesome place to stay with kids. Highly recommend. Great communication from host and offering alternative options with weather event.

Great host, fantastic home and location. We would surely revisit when we decide to visit Russell again

Gorgeous! Well located, beautiful private cottage. You cannot go wrong booking with Steve, Dot and Charlie. Wish we had time to stay longer; will definitely return.

The bach was lovely, real kiwi bach also Toni was amazing to deal with and left clear instructions on how to get to the bach as well as checking ourselves in Had everything you possibly would need for a trip away I absolutely loved the place and such an awesome area! The beach would be perfect for kids or swimmers who aren't to confident as the waves aren't strong at all but also have the option of a short walk to the end of the beach to a big shallow area with very little to no waves I really recommend this little bach, I fell in love and definitely would stay again!!

Everything was easy, clean and exactly how we expected it. Booking, check in and check out was uncomplicated. Definitely a great spot if you just want to relax and enjoy! Garden, terrace and house are beautiful and the short walk to the beach is amazing. We would definitely recommend this place and come again!

Great home, beach on your doorstep Homely

We didn’t want to leave! Your warm welcome on our arrival, accompanied by a gorgeous handwritten note, warm sourdough bread, fresh milk and freshly baked walnut chocolate chip biscuits, perfectly epitomised our stay at Cowshed Cottage! We loved the well-thought-out decor, the delightful linens on the comfy bed, and all the welcoming nooks that begged us to enjoy them with a hot drink and a good book in such a peaceful setting. The Cowshed Cottage, and you both, are the blissful warm hug that had us breathing deeply and releasing any stress we didn’t know we needed. One night was not enough! With a longer stay, we might just feel inclined to try out the spectacular gym, although I think cosying down with a glass of something delicious and another book might win out. We can’t wait to return and we will definitely be staying longer next time. Thank you both again for everything.

If it were possible we'd give this place 10 stars! You won't regret staying here, at your own private slice of Taupo Bay paradise. Whether you're just a couple or with a big group of friends, Gary and Debbie's place is perfect for you. Brilliant communication from area experts. We hope to be back soon 😊

A beautiful, airy house just steps away from one of the loveliest beaches in Aotearoa. A magic spot. Every facility you could want is there. Comfortable beds, nice linen, a lovely kitchen to cook in if you feel so inclined. The hosts were responsive, friendly and helpful. Can’t recommend highly enough.

We had a very enjoyable few days in this lovely place. Great views, peaceful surroundings and comfortable, spacious accommodation. Steve was a good host, friendly and helpful. We loved exploring this part of the world and would happily come back to the area and the house.

The cottage is renovated well and very comfortable with all the amenities. The hosts were very generous with plenty of coffee capsules provided and even a bottle of wine and chocolate gifts. The beds were a dream to sleep on and the linen added another special touch. I would definitely stay again as everything was perfect including the outstanding view over the water. Thank you!

We were so comfortable; quiet, peaceful surroundings; well equipped kitchen with lovely surprise of duck and hens' eggs, organic milk, a variety of teas and regular and decaf coffee. Comfortable sofas and chairs with good back support. Great WIFI. Spotlessly clean throughout. Sister Irini and Prior Rob are warm, friendly people who make you feel part of the place. We won't forget our stay at this wonderful sanctuary. Highly recommend anyone needing a break from a busy daily life- you can really unwind here.

A really lovely Airbnb with an amazing view.Great for a family.The property is kitted out well with everything that you would need.Close to Russell and beaches . Good communication with Sandra throughout our stay.I would highly recommend it.

Linda is a great host! The cottage is sparkling clean and quaint. Linda accommodated our family by providing baby toys and offered use of her swimming pool. The AC unit was down during our stay, but Linda kept it cool for us by opening all the windows and doors.

Wonderful place to stay. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. Host is very accomodating and very easy to communicate with. Dragonfly Barn is stunning, beautiful scenery, beautiful location. The accomodation itself is extremely well set out, very clean and tidy. Everything you could need for a home away from home. Close to town. Everything was easy to access

A cosy, old style Bach with many comforts. Great location for local visiting or retreating from the world. Really you can't go wrong here, fabulous.

We had a lovely stay at Jonno & Neil’s. Their place was absolutely spotless and had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed the lovely kitchen, comfortable bed and peaceful view. Everything was perfectly clean and loved the beautifully curated artwork and objects, many of which from NZ artists. Would highly recommend for your next trip away in Mangōnui.

Great little cottage for exploring the Whangarei Heads area. So quiet and peaceful. Has everything you need. Would definitely return
