Vacation rentals in Pungarehu

We can’t say enough about how peaceful, serene, and beautiful this cabin is. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by nature’s calm—the sounds, the views, and the overall stillness make this the perfect getaway. The location couldn’t be better: private enough to feel secluded, yet close enough to explore nearby attractions if you choose to venture out. What truly stood out was the attention to eco-friendly details. It’s clear that sustainability was thoughtfully considered in every aspect, which made our stay feel even more meaningful. The cabin’s commitment to the environment added a special layer of appreciation to the experience. The interior is just as inspiring, filled with beautiful, unique artwork that reflects a deep respect for both culture and history. Every piece tells a story and adds to the authentic charm of the space. We’re so grateful for the opportunity to stay here. It was more than just a place to rest—it was a place to reset. We’ll definitely be back.

We had a lovely stay! The Airbnb was absolutely immaculate and had everything you could possibly need and more. So many lovely touches throughout the place.

Donna was a wonderful host. The Bach was exactly as described, and it was delightful to be greeted by a fire, even though we arrived quite late. The house had everything we needed for a relaxing country stay, including great linen and towels, lovely plush beds, and a wonderful shower. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the essentials for preparing delicious meals while enjoying the ocean view. I would recommend this property.

we had such a good stay. Great location in the middle of the surf and mountain. Easy to get to town. The view of the mountain out the window is incredible. Everything we needed was provided. Just needed food and drink. It was cold outside but with the heater the place can be really nice and warm. we definitely will go again. Looking forward to it already!

A slice of wild paradise! Our stay at Alan and Freya’s sanctuary was unforgettable. The place is beyond beautiful, tucked into nature, full of charm, and radiating peace. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely welcomed and at ease. The animals were an absolute highlight: two adorable alpacas, friendly pigs, playful goats (yes, we got to play with them!), chickens wandering around, it truly felt like a gentle farm haven. The cabin itself is stunning. The bed is super comfy, the indoor fireplace kept us cozy, and the shower with a view of the forest felt like something out of a dream. At night, we soaked in the hot tub under the stars, no connection, no TV, just stillness and nature. Absolute bliss. They even thought of the little things: a selection of games (we LOVED Banana Grams and Monopoly), thoughtful touches, and such kind, genuine hosts. Alan and Freya are beautiful souls, warm, welcoming, and inspiring with the way they’ve created this sanctuary. We had the best time

We had a wonderful stay at Fox Flora Dora in Hurworth during the Matariki holiday. The place was absolutely amazing! spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and filled with charm. Janet was incredibly responsive, kind, and thoughtful throughout our visit, making us feel right at home. Our kids especially loved the experience of feeding the llamas and chickens, which was such a highlight of the trip. To top it off, we were gifted some fresh eggs from their happy hens!a lovely and generous gesture from Janet that made our stay even more memorable. The location is perfect for exploring Mt Taranaki, and the peaceful surroundings made it a relaxing getaway for the whole family. Highly recommend this special spot! thank you again, Janet, for such a delightful stay!

Family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens). Accommodated us nicely and was perfect for what we required for our weekend stay. Everything was clean and tidy. Amazing beds. Our teens asked us if we could buy the same ones. 😂 And they said they’d definitely stay there again and so would we. We were even able to get in earlier which enabled us to quickly set up and then enjoy the reason why we were there. We were so grateful for that very thoughtful offer from Kestelle especially after a long 5 1/2 hours of travel to get there.

We had a lovely stay at Sarah's, she got in touch to ask about our plans before and gave us great recommendations and met us on arrival. The place is so lovely and Sarah was very kind in letting us explore the property with sheep, pigs, an orchard and lots of amazing home produce. Beds were very comfy, the mezzanine bed has a window looking out from the side and a sky light which was beautiful at night. The bathroom and the kitchen were exactly what we needed. A little electric bench top oven, hot plate and kettle and fridge. There is a beach 1 km down the road which was lovely for sunset. We only stayed 1 night but would love to come again!
