Holiday rentals in Far North District

Unforgettable Stay at Cable Bay! My husband and I had such an incredible time at this beachfront Airbnb that we ended up extending our trip—honestly, we just didn’t want to leave so we extended our stay and extra day! The property offers stunning views of the ocean and provides direct access to the best beach in the area. Rosemary and Brian were fantastic hosts from the moment we arrived, greeting us warmly and ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Their thoughtful recommendations on local dining spots and nearby attractions really enhanced our experience. The location is perfect—there’s a fantastic fishery and a charming dairy just around the corner, so everything you could need is within easy reach. We truly had an unforgettable time and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend this hidden gem at Cable Bay!

This place was truly exceptional, one of the best stays we have ever had. Everything was exactly as described or even better. Check-in was smooth and simple, and the location is absolutely magical. The house is spacious, spotless, and beautifully furnished. The huge TV and incredibly comfortable sofa made relaxing in the evenings a real treat, and the kitchen is fully equipped with high quality appliances that made cooking a pleasure. The views from the property are absolutely breathtaking, and having the beach just down a few steps felt like a private paradise. Every detail has been thoughtfully arranged to make guests feel at home. We felt instantly relaxed and completely at peace here. This is a rare find, and we are so glad we discovered it. I cannot recommend this Airbnb highly enough, and we are already dreaming of coming back.

Such a beautiful place 🙌🏻— it went above and beyond our expectations. A perfect house for a weekend getaway together. It's the ideal spot to enjoy nature, close to beautiful beaches and other places worth visiting. The house is perfectly furnished; you have everything you need, and we even received some fresh eggs. Jim was a great host — friendly, absolutely welcoming, and full of local recommendations. We had a wonderful stay. Highly recommended! ☺️

We loved staying at Debra’s guest studio apartment. Amazing views of the ocean and forest from the entire unit. It had everything k needed to cook dinner. It is 5 minutes from the bay of islands marina and boat yard and was so nice to stay there while our sailboat was in the boatyard. Highly recommend and hope to be back.

We had the best time in our 5 nights at the Cow Shed. It is such a cute , delightful place with such quality equipment. Everything you could ever need. Al and Trish are the best hosts, we were completely spoiled with incredible fresh sourdough bread handmade by Al, who worked in Michelin Star restaurants. Jersey milk, thick cream, home made butter and divine ultra choc brownie made by Trish, who is a pastry chef. You will love their unique style, and lifestyle. Kerikeri is a posh and delightful place. The Rainbow falls, beautiful sight and walk, for a more muddy and slippery, but short walk, Charlies rock falls are stunning. The pillar rock formations, wow. The tropical gardens... Art Park is a lovely dog friendly walk too. Stone store and historic house and tea room, craft beer restarant next door all lovely. Loved the beach near Aroha Island too.

We had a beautiful time at Kerrie and Wills house up in the far north. Great little touches like the handwritten note, continental breakfast, and large deck made this place great. The back deck is very private, you have the river view all to yourself! Only things to be aware of is that there's no door on the bedroom and the water pump is loud if you're a light sleeper like me. Otherwise stunning place, we hope to go again and see some more stars next time!

This is the ultimate beach retreat, right at the start of 90-mile beach! The view is unbelievable, the house is incredibly well-designed and maintained, and we could not have been happier with our stay. And Renèe was a fantastic host, even reaching out during our visit to ensure a big storm hadn't disrupted our visit. Excellent service!

Satchya has created a private and beautiful oasis in the far north where such lodgings are few and far between! It was a privilege to stay in such a relaxing and thoughtfully set up accommodation and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. I hope to come back regularly and enjoy the peace and relaxation that this special spot offers. We took up the offer of a wonderful meal prepared for us and it was delivered by Satchaya and her husband with a quick friendly welcome and chat. We had the snapper with organic salad and it was delicious! There was muesli and fresh milk in the fridge for breakfast along with fresh seed bread and jam/butter. The fire was lit for our arrival as we were a bit later than expected and the heat from the fire is channeled through to the tent so everything was warm and cosy. The whole experience was just what we were hoping for and more. Thanks!
