Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Te Arai

We had the most fantastic time staying at Villino. It really did feel like a proper restful holiday away. The reality was better than the pictures and we had a lovely long lunch just next door at the vineyard and walked down the road for an easy swim at the beach. The food and communications made everything so easy. Really hope we can stay again sometime.

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!

We had a wonderful weekend and created some truly beautiful memories in this stunning home. The fireplace was a lovely touch, especially during the chilly mornings and evenings. The kitchen was modern, stylish and very practical, with a massive island bench that worked perfectly for our group. It made cooking and sharing meals together so easy and enjoyable. The hosts were readily available through the Airbnb app whenever we had questions, and they graciously allowed us a slightly later check-out as we were having such a beautiful weekend. The instructions for using the house facilities and checking out were clear and really helpful. The spa pool was amazing and added an extra layer of relaxation to an already perfect weekend. I will definitely be coming back again. Thank you for such a memorable stay.

The house was great, we felt directly at home. we had everything we needed and the perfect view oder Mangawhai. Melody was a great host, always quick to answer, friendly and super flexible. we would stay again anytime!

We really enjoyed our stay . Location felt really private and away from main roads . Location was great only two stops on the bus from the wharf . Having the car available was amazing , made travel around the island so easy .

Our party of 4 couldn't be more happier. The home is exactly how it looks in the photos and even more lovely in person. The home was immaculate and had everything we needed. Well-stocked with dishes, silverware, glasses, cooking utensils, pot, pans etc. Location was walking distance to Bennetts which has a bakery, café and decadent chocolates. New World supermarket just a short drive away. Jessica was awesome and responsive throughout. Highly recommend this property and we would definitely book this place again on our next trip to Mangawhai.

Absolutely beautiful house, we had a great stay at Fiona's place! It's a great location too, it was lovely being able to walk down to the beach. Everything is as listed and looks like the photos, would definitely recommend to other guests.

Back again! It’s a great place with incredible views out to the Barriers. Simple but stylish with plenty of tools in the kitchen to knock up a great feed, and, the best slumber with the comfiest of beds. I reckon we’ll be back!

What a great place perfect for us and even room for the next time when our 3rd daughter can stay too- beautiful waterfront excellent location with a Woolworths metro literally across the road and walking distance to viaduct restaurants- in fact we walked into town it was lovely . The carpark(s) was very handy and Kim messaged us with clear instructions and her communication was exceptional. She kindly allowed us early check in and late check out which is invaluable when you have a short stay like a long weekend. Would definitely consider coming back the next time we stay in Auckland.

House is beautifully clean, kitchen is well appointed. Beds are very comfortable with good quality linen. Great location would highly recommend

Fantastic location with direct park access. The most wonderful deck with great views- a joy in summer. Please note: this place doesn’t have an oven or a freezer and the bathroom is tiny, but we managed to make this place our home for a month during renovations. It may not be the ritz but it certainly does have character and a super accommodating host (with the friendliest, loveliest dog- Ziggy is definitely a highlight)

Great location and views! 👌🏻

Great location, quiet street 5 minutes stroll to Jervois Road

Jodie's place was the perfect find for us. From the minute we walked into it we loved every minute of staying there. Beautifully decorated with everything you need and in perfect working order. The bed is really comfortable and a great shower which was much appreciated after such a long flight. The position is very private with seating areas to the front and rear so you can catch the sun whatever time of day! Jodie is the perfect host - very quick to respond if you need her but otherwise respects your privacy. We needed help with our checkout time and Jodie was so kind and understanding. Jodie's place will always have a special place in our hearts as this was our first visit to Devonport. Thank you, Jodie.

An absolute pleasure! Our stay in this apartment in the heart of Auckland impressed us from start to finish and was wonderful. The chic and bright decor creates a welcoming atmosphere, and it's equipped with everything you could possibly need. Working remotely was a breeze with the comfortable setup, and the central location made attending meetings a breeze. The cherry on top? The heated rooftop pool, offering a serene escape with stunning views. Count me in for a return visit .

Fantastic apartment, location and host. Will definitely stay again.

The house is situated on top of a hill with a breathtaking view. Our families of 10 adults and 4 children spent four nights at the lodge. The house is like maze. Plenty of space for everyone. It's clean, fresh linen and towels and reliable wifi. The kitchen is very well equipped to cater for large groups. The outdoor BBQ and pizza oven were a bonus. Plenty of things for the kids too i.e. trampoline, table tennis, throwing darts and toys. Great communication from the host Daniel. He sent clear and easy to follow instructions a few days before our arrival. We want to go back again and would definitely recommend this place.

We had a 6 day family Christmas Holiday here and it couldn't have been nicer. Daniel and Angela met us when we arrived and explained the various systems such as pool, TV, internet, etc. They were available nearby in case we needed them (which turned out we did not), but did not intrude in our privacy. The actual facilities were even nicer than the photos and descriptions provided in the AirBnB listing. One of the special things about this home displayed was the care and art that the hosts have put into it. Everything is amazing. It is ultra-private and it seems as if you are alone in the forest overlooking a beautiful valley. The view from the upstairs master suite is awesome. Our two grandkids spent hours each day in this nice, clean, warm pool. The pool - patio area was well done and relaxing for lounging between swims. . I would HIGHLY recommend this property and hosts.

Five adults and six children had a wonderful weekend in Mangawhai, using Carolynn's house as our base. There was plenty of space for everyone to find their own corner, both inside and out. The kitchen was big enough for several cooks to work in at once and the dining table was big enough for us to all sit around so mealtimes were a treat, not a chore. Amazing view to the east, including sunrise across water and moonscape sand dunes. The spa at the end of the day was a special treat for our family, as was the large TV screen in the lounge. We missed a few books and board games but everything else was in good supply. Thank you for a special long weekend with my family Carolynn.

A beautiful house in a beautiful location. It was clean, had a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and sofa's. The living spaces for our group of 9 women was perfect. We loved our time here and will definitely be back.

Very good place. Beautiful place

We arrived in a storm and walking into a prewarmed house was amazing. Lots of space, sitting rooms and bedrooms as described. Open fire was lovely on our second night and sitting outside in the sun for breakfast was my favorite. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment, plates and was clean. We really enjoyed our stay.

I think it's safe to say that not only are there no complaints at all with both this place and the host, we were blown away by the quality of everything from start to finish by every measure. To anyone out there who want a place to live like a king or a stunning view to invite your guests over for a picnic, this is the place to be. The host here is an exemplar for what all ABNB hosts and landlords should aspire to be.

Our group had a lovely stay. The property was as clean, tidy and well appointed. Thank you for hosting us
