Holiday rentals in Te Kao

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 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!

Neils place is great... beautiful views and open plan living inside made us feel like home..

Rhys and Kas’s home exceeded every expectation we had. The view is truly beyond words—something you have to experience to believe. From sunrise to sunset, it felt like living in a postcard. The house itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we could possibly need. The short walk to the beach was one of our favorite parts—just a few minutes through a gorgeous, peaceful trail that felt like a hidden gem. Our kids loved it, and we soaked in every moment as a family. Rhys and Kas were an exceptional hosts—kind, attentive, and incredibly responsive throughout our stay. This home offered us the perfect mix of comfort, beauty, and tranquility. We can’t recommend it enough and would come back in a heartbeat!

Absolutely lovely little cottage to stay for our two night stay. We enjoyed sitting on the back verandah and looking over the inlet. Enjoyed the heated floor and towel rack in the bathroom. A cosy lounge area with the most amazing book collection. Loved the kitchen and the Nespresso machine. A short walk or drive into town where you'll find the world famous Manganui Fish Shop and a handy supermarket. Also, had a great pizza at Jessies in the main street. Very picturesque little fishing village and would highly recommend. I would have liked to have found an information folder as was not sure what to do with the rubbish on our departure.
