Beachfront holiday rentals in Te Kōhanga / Shipwreck Bay

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!

It's a little hard to find, but once you get there you are rewarded with an amazing place to stay. Super chill beachy vibe with great outdoor area and fantastic view.

Lisas place at Coopers Beach was a wonderful find. North facing with stunning views along the beach and out to sea with and all day sun. Lovely to sit on the Deck and enjoy the view or lie in bed at night listening to the waves gently lapping the shore. Highly recommend.

This place was incredible. It is built into a hillside and nestled amongst the trees. We had a fantastic time swimming, kayaking, fishing, and relaxing. I would definitely come back!

I wanted a place that was quirky and this was it The caravan bedroom was very comfortable Kitchen and bathroom had everything I needed Having the yard fenced was great for my furbaby although she did like playing with the resident Labs!!! Loved walking along the beach watching the Kite surfers We didn't need to leave the property Having Netflix available was a treat as weather was very unpredictable!! Would love to return in summer!! A 5 star host!!!

Lovely, clean and tidy holiday spot. Perfect for our family of five as a base for travels in Northland and a restful place to retreat to. A short stroll to beautiful Coopers Beach.

Highly recommend this place! Peaceful, tidy and great outdoor space Hosts were easy to communicate with

We had a great experience at this venue! Initially, I was a bit hesitant about its proximity to the road, but it turned out to be surprisingly private. The modern setup was fantastic, and the atmosphere was incredibly relaxing. Jon was excellent to communicate with, he knew exactly when to check in and when to give us space. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a stylish yet peaceful getaway!

The place was wonderful. Would definitely go back for a linger stay!

This was such an incredible retreat spot! Very secluded, with one of the most breathtaking views of Te Ngaere Bay! Our favorite part was the open-air option to enjoy cooking & dining inside while being outside. Very clean, modern & incredible espresso machine to enjoy cappuccinos with the epic sunrise! We also found it nice to have your own trail down to the beach & private plunge pool. Be prepared for a climb back up for some good exercise! Worth it… especially when you can take a nice cold (or hot) outdoor shower! Great communication & care from Kas & Rhys- they are awesome hosts!

The cottage has a gorgeous view - such a treat to wake up to it every morning. Really spacious and ideal for a couple. Short drive away from some amazing beaches. Thank you, Kathy!

Great spot, quiet clean and spacious.

Lovely stay, right across from the beach. Super comfortable, had everything we needed. Great for kids. Will definitely be back!

Karen & Peter were great hosts. They greeted us upon arrival and departure, toured us around their Airbnb, and even had a little local guide book. They’re lovely people and their space is very clean. We were really happy with how complete their utensils for cooking were. We highly recommend their place for anyone looking for a home away from home at the Far North.

We stayed over NY with this as a base for some great adventures and lots of seafood. The property manager Peter was very flexible and helpful. Bev next door was also amazing and very hospitable. Would have no hesitation in staying again! Thanks for an awesome trip.

place was nice and tidy and the view was amazing 👏 🤩 beautiful sunrise and quiet place.

One of the most unique airbnbs, with one of the best views in the world. Believe all the reviews! This Bach hidden away along the north coast of nz is stunningly breathtaking! 360degree views, islands, boats, sunsets, the calm Pacific Ocean, birds, dolphins, completely private and you’re own gorgeous beach! What more can you ask for really??? We were two but the bach comfortably fits more! And has everything you need! We will definitely keep coming back! What a rare find! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing property.

We had a wonderful stay at Cooper’s Beach. The views from the deck are incredible and the beautiful beach is just a short walk down the steps. Great BBQ on the deck. The Bach Man, David, offered to provide a high chair for our baby which was much appreciated since we were traveling from the United States. A great find!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was a beautiful house in a stunning location. It was nice opening up all the doors in the morning with the sun beaming in. The kitchen was well-equipped - and it’s only a few minutes drive to local eateries. A perfect getaway :)
