Beachfront vacation rentals in Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana

David and Lynn are truly delightful! Their accommodations were the perfect place to stay in Tairua. With a warm welcome and a clean, well equipped guesthouse steps from the water we couldn’t have asked for more! We hope to return someday and will recommend their place to others. Thank you for blessing us with your kindness and little slice of New Zealand!

Janes place is incredibly beautiful. The sun shone down into a little piece of paradise and we did some fishing (and caught fish) right in front of the house! Truly magical spot and Jane was warm and generous 🍃 I will 💯 be back again

The house provided us a peaceful retreat from the city. Our family and friends enjoyed a pleasant stay from Paul’s lovely house! Highly recommended :)

What a beautiful space. If you a looking for a fantastic holiday home for a couple or small family this is the place to be. Right across the road from the beach. So tidy and warm very clean. Mark was amazing! We enjoyed our stay and will be back for sure!!! Thanks for making our trip to Ohope special.

Stellas house was an amazing place to stay. Across the road from the beach, can see the water, walking distance to shops. Great house and fantastic location..

This is a really special wee bach - incredible views, well equipped, a great fire so the house was really toasty, and cute vintage decor. We took our tramping packs so the hike up was fine. William was a great host - we'll be back.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful Airbnb right on the water’s edge. The location was absolutely stunning – peaceful, scenic, and so close to nature. Our host was super friendly and full of helpful local tips. We especially loved the walk to the nearby surf beach and grabbing a morning coffee at the local campground. A perfect spot to relax and explore!

Beautiful home, perfectly set up with everything you might need. Very cosy, lovely furnishings, linen & little details. The fire was a treat & kept entire place warm for my elderly mum. Melanie is a great host, very helpful, thoughtful & went the extra mile to make our stay a perfect one. highly recommend.

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.

Thank you Liz and Dennis. My family and I loved our stay, it was absolutely perfect.We will definitely be back.

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.

We had an awesome time at the Beachside Bliss. Everything was just WOW. Ian made us feel right at home. The layout of the place is so kids friendly and safe. Loved the peace and quiet and a very clean beach. We are sure to come back soon. 101% recommended! Thank you Ian for sharing your lovely home and space with us🙏

The apartment is spacious and modern with stunning views over the marina. It is well equipped with everything you could need. We received clear instructions making it easy to find and access the property. We had a very enjoyable few days exploring the beautiful coastline around Whitianga.

Amazing place, highly recommended

Short drive from the airport, Close to lots of amazing cafes, the beach, and hot pools. Fantastic views from the top of Mount Maunganui - worth the climb. Hot pools were great to soak away any aches after the climb.

The check-in experience is fantastic, the room has some issues about bed sheet and pillow, but they changed another room for us without hesitated, which is respectful and helpful. The place is perfectly silent and a good place to find your peace in mind, the pod toilet is extremely clean, have a kitchen and don’t worries about where to throw compost, also the shower room is clean, differently visit again with my camping gear.

Had the best stay and it was the nicest apartment and the most amazing view! Thank you so much for making this one of the best trips we have ever had! We will be back again! Absolutely stunning!

Cozy little cabin in a beautiful location looking out towards the beach. There is a fan and heat pump to keep you comfortable. The BBQ is great for cooking and the kitchenette is well equiped. We loved our 3 nights here exploring the area and the hosts were friendly and helpful.

Price was good for 2 couples to stay. Spacious unit, nice view over the "lake". Comfy beds, well appointed. Very warm unit, we all enjoyed our stay.

We absolutely loved our long weekend at the great escape Whitianga, the house had everything we needed for a fun relaxing family weekend away. The house was absolutely spotless and the beds were super comfy and everything was so well set up for all that we needed! Nice private backyard for the kids to play and the spa was lovely in the cooler evenings. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a truly magical time staying at Karl’s hidden gem on the beach front, we were blessed with stunning sunrises and sunsets from one mountain to another over the sea, we felt right at home here, the beachfront was truly spectacular, private and the home was so cozy and so special to be in, we are very grateful for the experience, we had the best time with lots to do and explore in the area, we were constantly blown away by how beautiful and special it was

We really enjoyed our stay, lovely clean and spacious property in a gorgeous setting. Janice was very welcoming and easy to communicate with, thanks again we’d love to come back!

Exquisite location with incredible views. Anneke was a lovely host; very accommodating and responsive. Her cottage felt like home with all the added touches. Hard to say goodbye to this piece of paradise.

Tina and Barry were very accomodating, friendly and gave us good insights of the area. The place was quiet, clean. We will stay here again when we have a return visit from Australia.
