Beachfront holiday rentals in Whangaumu Bay

We had a wonderful weekend away at Nikki’s classic kiwi bach! The location is so beautiful, and it was great to be right on the waterfront. The Bach is lovely and had everything we needed for a great stay. I only wish that we could have stayed longer! Nikki is a friendly, helpful and responsive host. Hopefully we will get to come back again one day!

Fabulous hosts, lovely accommodation. We stayed for three nights, and all loved it including our puppy. If we didn't have to be back home for things, we would've extended our stay by a couple more nights. I'm sure we will be back again though. Thanks for the lovely stay

Lovely to be met by Kat as we entered their property, very clean and cosy. Awesome access to the beach which was just fantastic. Lovely hosts....highly recommend.

The bach was perfect, location incredible and Claire was lovely to deal with, we will be back!

Jeremy & Andrea were helpful and friendly. We had a fantastic stay! The place was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The location was ideal, just a short walk to the beach, which was perfect for morning and evening walk One of the highlights was definitely the wood-fired pizza oven. It was such a fun we really enjoyed making pizzas and spending the evening outdoors

Lovely place to stay. Very well equipped. Great for family group of 3 generations. Great views from all rooms and always something happening on estuary. Pool table, spa , pizza oven and kayaks provided great variety of options. Highly recommend

Tyson’s Waterfront Bach is located very close to the ferry ramp in Okiato. It has a lovely view across the water towards Opua and is well-appointed, delightful, peaceful and cosy. Access to the water is good, the drive to Russell takes only about ten minutes and there is a lovely, local but at times tricky, walk through native forest. Within minutes of arriving, we were relaxed and enjoying our stay. So it continued for 5 nights. We’d come again. Thank you John

what a place!! the house is far back road and incredibly serene. we came with two young kids and 4 adults and there was heaps to keep us occupied. trip across the estuary with kayaks to these amazing beach breaks a particular highlight. The whole house has something for everyone and honestly think we may be back. Rebecca was also an amazing host and had loads of local knowledge to share.

Lovely family home with all that the description and photos promise and much more! A once in a lifetime location. We stayed here for the last days of our NZ trip and really appreciated relaxing and exploring the area and fabulous beaches north and south. A big thank you Carol!

I loved my stay at this Airbnb! The space was beautifully decorated—so stylish and thoughtfully designed with everything I needed. It felt like a home away from home. The location was perfect—quiet and peaceful, yet still convenient to explore the area. I slept so well thanks to how serene the neighborhood was. The host Karen and Craig were responsive, welcoming, and made sure I had a fantastic experience. I would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, chic retreat. Thank you for such a great stay!

Absolutely stunning Airbnb, one of if not the best we’ve ever stayed in (we’re doing a round the world trip so have stayed in a lot by now)! It was absolutely pristine, we felt like we were checking into a 5* hotel with the quality of the beds, linens, towels etc. It is genuinely nicer than the photos and more spacious, and it was so appreciated that Anita had some provisions and snacks like milk, chocolates, crisps and fruit there for us when we arrived. Anita is lovely and so friendly! She kindly greeted us at check in, showed us around and how everything works, and gave us some fantastic local recommendations which we did and thoroughly enjoyed, in particular the coastal trail to Paihia and getting the car ferry across the bay to go to Russell. The views over the bay, watching the boats come and go, are stunning. We didn’t use the BBQ that’s on the balcony but would have if we’d stayed longer, which I wish we had! Overall we couldn’t fault this place, and HIGHLY recommend staying

Blown away by location and beautifully presented home, complete with all the bells and whisltes. Loved that we had access to plenty of beach toys, games and books. Did not need a thing. Felt right at home after travelling 800kms. Perfect size for a big whanau who love the beach. The sunrises and sunsets are stunning.

The Boathouse was in pristine condition and the view is stunning. We also loved watching the ferries come and go just outside. Beautiful run to Paihia and a walk back. Recommend The Blue Door in Paihia for breakfast.

Veronica was wonderful, even brought a jacket back to Auckland for us that we had accidentally left behind. We had a great stay, thanks so much.

In Whangarei to visit our son. This house was in beautiful location and easily accessible to grocery store, places to eat and in nice neighborhood for walking. Hostess made sure our arrival and checking went smoothly, even with a later than expected arrival. Space was perfect for our party of 3 plus visit from our son who lives just down road. Space was very clean with all amenities we needed. Would stay again if back in area

Beautiful location, host was super friendly and helpful. House was well equipped with everything required for a relaxing stay. Would definitely book again

Amazing little kiwi back in a private Rocky bay. Awesome for quality family time or a group of friends. Will definitely be staying here again!

This was the perfect place for three families (11 adults!) to come together for Easter. A beautiful location, across the road from the beach, with stunning views, a house with everything you need to cook up a storm, enjoy the deck and views and nap in the afternoon in peace and comfort. Linda was a generous host (late check out on Easter Monday was much appreciated) and was understanding when we had a mishap with a door slammed by the wind. Would recommend

It was a beautiful stay. Perfect for our whole family. We loved the Kayaks and local town, even the neighbors were all friendly. There were even toys and play pales and things for our small children, and the bunk rooms in the loft were a kids heaven. The home was great and the view was beautiful. So calm we would swim across to the island in the bay. The host was so friendly to communicate with. My dad even left his watch in our rush to get to the airport and they helped coordinate getting it back to us.

Such a clean place with the great access to the most amazing private beach! Would highly recommend this place as somewhere to get away from the noise and just relax - with a homely feel! Made great use of the Netflix too, thanks so much for a relaxing stay.

Review We rented Karen’s house for a multigenerational family holiday. It was just what we were after. Clean and well appointed with great communal spaces both inside and out, as well as plenty of space for people to get some down time. The location is incredible and the photos don’t do justice to the beauty of the surrounding bush or the beach on your doorstep - with other stunning beaches just a short walk away. Our family made great use of the spa and the kayaks, had some amazing surf sessions, and spent a lot of time exploring. It is such a perfect place to get away from it all. Karen was a fantastic host. Excellent communication and she went above and beyond to help us out and make our stay more comfortable. For example, when the weather made drying the many towels we were using every day impossible, Karen did load after load of laundry for us. We’re all keen to go back - hopefully when the weather’s better - and would highly recommend to others.

Amazing accommodation. I would definitely recommend!!
