Sailors Rest on Aquila, Whitianga
Perfect place to stay in Whitianga for a few days. Lots of space and beautiful furnishings.

Entire Apartment - Stunning City Pad
Really enjoyed staying here! The place was super clean and spacious and within walking distance to a lot of nice restaurants and town area! It was pretty private despite being so close to a lot of restaurants and nice coffee places. Although it was a bit difficult to find the keys and get access to the car park at first, Simon gave ample instructions to check into the apartment. Will stay here again when I come back to Auckland!

The Pool House at Blackburn
We had a lovely stay, complete with a tour of the farm and feeding the cattle and ducks - my kids thought that was amazing! Alison is fantastic with online communication, and was very patient with my excited children on the tour! Both Alison and Drew are lovely, and their property is immaculate. The house was well equiped with everything we needed, and very warm and comfortable. We would love to come back- especially in warmer weather so we can use the pool more!

Upstairs house/apartment = Beach Front Escape
Amazing place to be, the water views gave a relaxed feeling & the comforts of the furniture made it cosy. Quality beds & linen wow!! Best sleep we have ever had at a air B n B. A very quiet place to relax. Thankyou

Princes Wharf's truly stunning North-West Loft
My family (consisting of husband and two teenagers) had an outstanding time at Peter’s apartment. It was our first time visiting New Zealand and Peter was extremely helpful and an informative guide in addition to host. He gave us many suggestions and responded very quickly when we had a question. The apartment was exactly as advertised, gorgeous! There are stunning views from the living room. We could have watched the views for hours, both day and night. Additionally, it was well situated, with many great restaurants and activities within an easy walk. The apartment itself was extremely clean and well stocked. The kitchen shared the same lovely views as the living room. The beds were extremely comfortable and bathrooms were great. We would happily stay there again and recommend it to anyone visiting Auckland.

Orewa by the Beach - Coastal living
The unit is fresh and new. Very clean and well kept. The hosts are responsive to any questions and very friendly. A great base to explore from

Lux Panoramic Seaview Penthouse on Princes Wharf
Breathtaking views! Amazing location. Walkable to shops and restaurants …also just steps to ferries and public transport when you want to venture further. Highly recommend.

At the Lake's Edge
Great spot! Beautiful view of the lake! Comfortable and cosy. Bit of noise from the busy road but all round a lovely weekend getaway.

Tranquil Eco Timber Retreat | Sunny Green Starry
I highly recommend Sherry's Airbnb! My friends and I had an amazing stay - it was so cozy and comfortable and we had everything we needed.

Jandals & Joy Lakefront Retreat
Thank you for a wonderful stay. We had such a great time at your place. It is so beautiful and peaceful right on the water. We loved bird watching from the deck!

Limitless Peaceful Water Views-Authentic Retreat
Mark’s AirBnB is an experience rather than a stay. Is a combination of coastal rural Nz right on the doorstep (short boat ride away) from a bustling town Raglan where there are 5 star restaurants, super markets and everything you would need or expect. And the accomodation itself is nestled on a cliff top with 180 views of the harbour and if Raglan. Private, the feeling of seclusion and neighbour free - the best of both worlds made better by a host that balances your needs with respectful distance. Make a pizza in the wood fired oven and then warm your bones in the spa boat and arching the harbour u til the sun melts away listening to birds evening song. We can’t wait to head back and hopefully catch the big uncle of the 12 lb snapper we caught in the raglan harbour!!! Outstanding place.

Mahoenui Lakeside Cottage
We had an amazing time at Carols place. The lakefront house is relaxing and peaceful. Will recommend for people looking for a cozy getaway but still close to town and shops.

Idyllic and Peaceful Batch. Steps from Lake Taupo
We had a great stay during our NZ trip!

Private Bay with Amazing Sea Views
Loved our stay at Lynne’s! Gorgeous view, comfy beds! Had a wonderful time exploring the region upon Lynne’s recommendations! Would love to stay again!

Relax by the Lake | 5BR Near CBD & Attractions
My family and I really enjoyed staying at Ricky & Kylie's place. This home was an ideal base to explore Rotorua from, and also to curl up on the couch when the rain was out of hand. We stayed for two nights, and if anything it'd have been nice to book for an extra day or three to thoroughly explore the area and to make use of the kayaks & the other amenities. Definite recommend.

Rangitahi Paradise
This place absolutely exceeded our expectations! The water view was simply breathtaking—waking up to that serene, panoramic view every morning was a dream. The house itself was stunning: beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and full of high-end touches that made the stay feel truly luxurious. Every detail, from the stylish décor to the comfortable furnishings, was thoughtfully curated. We felt like we were staying in a five-star resort. The host Lisette was also fantastic—communicative, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed. Can’t recommend this place enough. We’ll definitely be back! This is a fantastic place for families like ours that are muilti generational and we could really spread out :)

The accommodation is 11/10 with a 6 star rating for everything one needs for an escape. Modern, minimalist really private in a bustling area. We loved our stay and will return again. Thanks to Denise. Excellent comms and a few personal touches.

Lakehouse Escape
We had an amazing four night stay here. The apartment was excellently furnished, the location effectively on the lakefront was fantastic and the outlook across the lake to Mount Tarawera was beautiful. We could not have wished for more. Thank you Murray for being such a great host

Waimahana 11 Lakeside Penthouse Apartment.
Louise’s place was fantastic - even better than the photos! It was spotlessly clean, had a beautiful view of the lake, and included thoughtful touches like free condiments. A very comfortable and welcoming stay. Highly recommended!

5 Star Beachfront Living.
We really enjoyed our stay at Irene’s. It was great to be so close to the beach and there were lots of shops and cafes within walking distance. It’s a scenic 20 minute drive to Snow Planet is that is part of your holiday plans. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay a pleasure. Irene was so friendly, helpful and caring. We would definitely stay again.

Riverside Apartment - Taupo Accommodation
Lovely place to stay, great view overlooking the river would definitely stay again.

Absolute Beachfront Paradise! Milford, North Shore
Pia’s place is incredible! Had a wonderful 10 days there. We really enjoyed the location on the beach, all the amenities in the hime and the beautiful sunrise views from the wall of windows. One of the most beautiful places I’ve stayed. Pia was amazing to work with - very responsive and attentive. Could not have asked for a better stay in New Zealand!
