Guest house holiday rentals in Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana

Caron’s cabin was rustic and as described. Facilities were good for one night, Caron left us some eggs and fruit from the land. Caron greeted us on arrival and added some history to the cabin which was great. It was a great place for us to stay on our long drive down south. Be warned, creepy crawlies love the cabin also!!

It’s hard to find enough superlatives to describe our stay at Fiona’s. The apartment itself was superb with everything we needed for a 6 night stay. Fiona and her family were incredibly welcoming and helpful and the location was perfect for us as it was so incredibly close to the yacht club where we were attending a junior regatta. Despite being attached to the owners home, the apartment is very private and quiet. If we ever need to stay in Howick again there’s no question we would love to stay at Fiona’s again.

We had a fantastic couple of days staying at Kathy and Bryon’s. The food that was provided was very much appreciated and the place was clean and tidy as it looked in the pictures. You are only a couple of minutes walk from the beach and the local cafe which is very good. We would happily stay again.

Ute's studio is a well appointed, clean and quiet. , We found very it peaceful with view of the harbour, and watching the bird life. The central location is easy to find. From here it is easy to get onto the motorways and explore Auckland.

Lovely quiet location, just what we were looking for. We arrived in the dark but we're met in the cul der sac by chance, and shown right to the studio. We were very grateful. Warm and cosy, super comfortable bed, fabulous shower / bathroom facilities. All we needed for our overnight stay. Thank you for having us!

Great spot - Booked on behalf of my mother who came up to stay for a couple days. Great hosts, friendly communication and the space was perfect for what we required :)

We had a truly wonderful stay at Julie’s villa in Coromandel. The place was spotlessly clean, incredibly comfortable, and had such a homely feel that we instantly felt at ease. Julie was a fantastic host—welcoming, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. Everything we needed was provided, and the peaceful surroundings made for a perfect getaway. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily return. Highly recommend!

Loved our stay! Wish we could’ve been here longer. Adored the animals… was so lovely being greeted by the dogs upon arrival. We hope to return again soon!

Thank you for a relaxing and fun stay. Absolutely loved the space you have made and the view. We will be back :)

My partner and I stayed here for a night and it was truly wonderful. We will have to come back soon! Very cosy and homely — Heating and an electric blanket so nice in a winter stay. Close to town and was easy to find. We loved the art & decor too. Highly recommend staying here :)

We had a really nice stay at Dick and Anna's place. There were some great restaurants and grocery stores on walking distance. Great hosts. We'd stay here again.

Such a beautiful and tranquil place to relax and getaway from the busy city. Situated perfectly that we were close enough to restaurants and activities to fill the day without driving too far. Will definitely book in again! Thanks guys

An excellent little hideaway in Raglan. Great for decompressing in a quiet and beautiful setting. Lots of privacy. Bomber little surf town too if that’s your thing. Highly recommend. I’ll be back in the future. Thanks for a great stay, Sarah!

Zara’s place was exactly as pictured, definitely recommend staying here. Really lovely and cozy interiors and the place was really clean. Zara was really easy to communicate with. Great location to ponsonby road and town.

The house was spotless and beautiful, with a well stocked kitchen and private deck. The cheese platter the host left was a lovely surprise. Would definitely recommend this house for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!

Host communicated well, access was easy, room was warm and lights on as we arrived in the evening. Very peaceful area after a busy day of work. Enjoyed relaxing in the spa even though it was raining. Got watch the sunrise and see the views after weather cleared. Highly recommend.

A beautiful romantic location, we loved sitting out on the deck at night looking at the Milky Way and listening to the kiwi and other native birds. Fresh fruit, milk and some other lovely treats waiting for us in the kitchen. Above and beyond hospitality and the most tranquil escape, only 5 mins off the main road. Plus the most comfy bed!!

Quiet, comfortable spot that made for a lovely getaway. Paul was a warm and friendly host, definitely worth the trip :).

It was a delight to come back to the beautiful gardens & comfortable accommodation. The friendly hosts made it very homely & inviting.

Believe everything you read about this stunning accommodation, because it's true! Trevor and Lynda have created a beautiful hideaway in the country. From the comfy beds, the lovely decor, the personal touches and much more, our stay was just perfect for our second Mother's Day weekend. Toby and Billie are gorgeous and made our stay feel like home. All the best Trevor and Lynda, we will be back 😊

A lovely cottage just outside Thames. Very cozy and surrounded by nature. Comfy bed, great kitchen and a toasty fire place. Keri and Peter were very kind and responsive hosts. I can recommend staying here!

Thank you Amanda for a lovely stay. My wife and I had a relaxing break at your lovely cosy place. Would love to come back. Thank you

Our third stay here, a private getaway for my wife and me. Can't get enough of the peaceful location with awesome views. We visited the birds in the nearby aviary; they're quite the characters and very chatty! 😊

I had an amazing stay at Sue’s place! The location is perfect – just a 5-minute walk to the beach in a peaceful neighbourhood. The studio was also super quiet, clean, and private, and had everything I needed (the kitchen was well equipped too)! Sue was really nice and friendly – always quick to reply and checked in from time to time to see if I needed anything. I had such a great two weeks here and would absolutely stay again next time I’m in Auckland. Highly recommend!
