Beachfront holiday rentals in North Island

Beautiful location and sea views with access through 2 gates taking you to the rocky bay. Huge fully fenced yard great for our dog Judge and our 3 year old son. The chest of games and toys went down a treat for both and the 3 bdrm house had everything we could need for a weekend get away. The house was also lovely and warm AND we could see the mountain from the entrance way. Would definitely come back again. Thanks for having us, great hosts!

Amazing beachfront view. House was well furnished and clean. Instructions were clear, not a problem checking in. Everything you might need is provided. Awesome stay! Would recommend!

Such a magical spot on the water. Made even more special when the dolphins came to put on a show. Will definitely be back! Thanks for having us.

Lovely place, right on the beach. Perfect location and very helpful host.

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.

I stayed at Whakatīwai for three nights while I was working in the area. Roimata and Hunter were absolutely wonderful hosts: friendly and helpful. I couldn't have asked for better location. The views from the Airbnb were stunning, and it was so lovely to go for morning and evening walks. Spotlessly clean. The wi fi was good, too. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Absolutely perfect for an artist getaway, views magnificent, peaceful and serene. The late checkout meant that we left as relaxed and chilled as our week had left us. Did we mention the stunning vista!! and lovely and warm for winters days.

We had a fantastic stay at Melanie's place in Ohope! It was so easy to get to the beach, shops, and everything else. Melanie was great to communicate with, and her recommendations were awesome. The fireplace was a huge plus! Totally recommend it for a relaxing getaway.😊👌🏖🌊

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.

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🙏

Amazing place, highly recommended

This was the most lovely accommodation! It was clean, well-appointed, and had the most beautiful view of the Bay. Wendy communicated well, and provided easy instructions for entry into the car park, and from there, into the apartment. Our two night stay was extremely quiet, which we expected, given it's not the high season, yet there was still enough going on about town that we never wanted for something to do! The location was absolutely ideal, as all businesses were within very easy, close-in walking distance. Our only wish is that we could have stayed longer, and we'll definitely look to return!

Lawrence's place is the perfect base to explore Pahia, Waitangi and Russel. We had a very comfortable stay. So good to be right at the wharf and near the restaurants and shops of Pahia

We booked the apartment because of the epic view of the beach and it surely didn’t disappoint. We did wish the windows were cleaner so we could enjoy the view from inside the house too but understandably this was inevitable. We didn’t like that you have to pick up and drop off the key from another location during check in and check out, which is 10 mins drive from the apartment itself so if you don’t have a car then you might wanna look elsewhere. Tv remote wasn’t working and we couldn’t watch anything we want on the Tv without it. There was a super strict list of rules and a deposit needs paying via an app( which we weren’t told clearly about upon booking) . I still Don’t know if deposit has been returned or not, a confirmation of this would have been nice! Overall though we think it’s a great apartment- it is really roomy, beds are comfortable, great shower, and kitchen is very well equipped. :) many thanks for hosting us !

Great budget friendly, clean and suitable! Thank you

The setting of this home is stunning, right on a quiet beach and near a walking track with breathtaking views. Windows surround the main living area so it was magical even during a heavy downpour. The home was very well appointed; wished it was warmer to take advantage of the kayaks! We found plenty to do otherwise....hiking, Waitangi treaty grounds, wineries, and coffee and drinks in Russell. Clive was a great host. Perfect weekend getaway, thank you!

This place was spectacular. It was in a beautiful area and a nice view of the ocean. Easy to walk to the ocean. Quiet and peaceful. Great yard in the back with patio and Adirondack chairs, perfect for relaxing with coffee or tea. Very clean and kitchen stocked with everything you need. We made 2 dinners there and was very pleased. Impeccably clean. Was able to use the laundry free of charge. Melanie was a wonderful host. She met us there and showed us in with clear instructions. She responded quickly each time I messaged. Friendly and accommodating. If I’m ever here again will definitely stay again.

What a stunning location., located straight next to one of the best urban walkways in the country. Hosts were great so friendly loved Lou the dog she was so lovely too. the views keep you entertained for the whole.time, no TV was needed at all we will definitely be back

Such a gem. Would love to return one day🤗

Absolutely wonderful. We felt very welcomed and at home the minute we'd walked in. Beautiful house and surroundings. Very well equipped kitchen. Our kids didn't want to leave.

Absolutely loved our stay, fabulous view and the apartment had everything we needed. One tiny suggestion would be a couple of reading lights by the bed. We had a great time exploring the area over our 3 day stay. Thank you George and family

Highly recommend to all! Private, homely, picturesque vibes, welcoming, absolutely loved it! Great place to recharge, reset, relax and just be at peace with the sound of the birds and environment. I will be booking again for sure. Thank you Dave and Anita it was best stay.

Julianne’s property is perfectly situated to walk to the CBD and to make the most of the waterfront walkway. The garage is an added bonus. A comfortable space with beautiful views out to the coast. Great for watching the sunrise.
