Mabey's Beach House

AlexandraRating, 5 stars13 months ago
Another incredible stay at Isabels place. Such an amazing location and a very well set up home, especially considering it is off the grid. Everyone - young and old had the most amazing time. The eels were a highlight for the kiddos. Thank you for having us.

Huia's Tent

MollyRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
We had such an amazing time at Libby’s place! The tent had everything we needed and more. It was the best of both worlds with camping, while also feeling like you were in a house. We loved the proximity to the restaurants and shops! We’d love to stay here again!!

Beach House Little Bay Up High Northern Coromandel

RichardRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Absolutely amazing. Could not have hoped for a better location or host. Ally is probably the best airbnb host you could ever hope to find. Nothing was too much for her to help with - she was friendly, responsive and extremely hospitable (she lives next door to the property). Her dog, Kiki, is a delight too - she popped by to ensure we were enjoying our stay every day. Cannot recommend this venue more highly - we had THE BEST family Christmas. Thank you Ally and Kiki

Island Gin Bach. Medlands beachfront.

Incredible. We tried to extend the checkout until “never”, but no luck. I’d still be there now if I could. Loved it.

We had a great stay over summer. Amazing views, and lovely peaceful bush setting. Loved the sunsets and sunrises. We even spotted some whales from the deck. Very comfortable with everything we needed.

175° East - Ruru House

ViktoriaRating, 5 stars7 months ago
The fact that everyone came back to stay again after the weekend says it all really! Great place, great hosts and the fact that there are 2 other houses on the property (yet far enough away for privacy!) make this a excellent spot to stay when you have an away trip with Clients - or extended family. Highly recommended. Many Thanks!

Loved the location - with the beach and sunset views, and just a short walk to the cafe, shop and pub. The place is beautifully renovated, and has great outdoor decking with all day sun. We felt lucky to be there.

Motu Honey House

LizRating, 5 stars12 months ago
My sister and I spent 3 nights at Motu Honey House and had a great, relaxing time. We enjoyed Alan’s company very much and found him very welcoming and happy to share his insights into many aspects of the Island. The animals around us enhanced an already unique experience. Okiwi is a good location, allowing easy access to pretty much the whole Island.

Koru cottage Medlands Beach, Great Barrier Island

JeremyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had a great weekend at Koru Cottage. The master bedroom has beautiful views out to the surrounding bush. Opening up all the doors of the cottage during a sunny day was fantastic. The kitchen was well stocked with basic cooking supplies, utensils, crockery, etc. The outdoor shower and toilet took a bit of getting used to, but was a great novelty for the kids. Kids are well catered for with toys, books and cosy beds. It's a steep (and only partially paved) walk up from the carpark at the camping ground, but the view is great and it doesn't take long until you're up at the cottage. Shane also organised a car for us on the cottage side of the creek, which was really helpful for tired little legs after a big day of exploring the island. We'd recommend this place for couples or families with small children. A great base while on the island.
