Family-friendly holiday rentals in Hokianga Harbour

The home was cozy with the fireplace and tasteful upgrades. It felt like a friends home instead of a rental. The railroad path is accessed by a steep trail from the yard. The driveway is steep but easy to turn around with an average sized minivan. What a lovely area to explore and this home is a great base to come back and relax and curl up to watch a good movie from the cozy sofa.

Had an amazing experience at stay. The house was cleaned and surrounded with amazing view. Peter and Jacqueline was an outstanding host and always helpful to me and my family. I highly recommend this place and would love to stay here again. Thank Yoh

Ryan's place was amazing, he was really friendly, welcoming and very accommodating. He even offered to drive me to the liquor store when we ran our of booze. His place is perfect for a group of friends trying to blow off some steam. Star grazing is pretty awesome from his place on a no moon night. Kudos on the coffee machine. And the spa was just icing on the cake

I loved staying here so much. So beautiful, right on the beach, can't ask for better than that. The view from the deck and inside was so nice. You can hear the waves inside the unit. The cable bay store is very close. Such a lovely place in the far north. I would love to stay here again.

Beautiful, peaceful location. House was spotless and had everything you needed. Multiple outside zones to enjoy the nature and water views. Super private and only a 7 min drive to the heart of Russell.

Onca again a lovely stay in a perfect spot. Everything very smooth and easy. Will be booking again next year

Beautiful spot and comfy, flexible accommodation. No problems with being off the grid. Enjoyed the hot tub.

Lovely place to spend the weekend. The place has everything you need and beautiful outdoor spaces. The view is stunning and it’s accessible to both town and the other bays.

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.

An amazing location with absolutely stunning views of the harbour. Well equipped. Lovely deck. A short but steep walk is well worth the effort for a relaxing drink watching the harbour. Non members welcome and great food. Some stunning beaches nearby for Ollie’s dog walks. Julia was very responsive to our messages. Highly recommended.

What a wonderfull place to stay! The unit is very spacious, leading out into a beautiful garden. The location is perfect, right across from the start of a waterfalls walk. The hosts are so kind too. Definitely recommend staying here!

“A perfect beachside escape! This Airbnb was everything I hoped for—clean, cozy, and just steps from the ocean. Waking up to the sound of waves and enjoying coffee on the deck was pure magic. Mark made sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Can’t wait to come back!”

Great place to stay up on the hill with gorgeous views of the town and ocean. Margaret and Lou live next door so they are responsive but respectful of privacy. Driveway is steep and the park at the front door of the unit is snug but we were able to back out. Walk to town and beach in 2 minutes. House is a Lockwood so can be creaky. Beds are super comfortable. Linen and pillows are great. Kitchen is good. No dishwasher but no big deal. Washing machine and clothes drying rack for the deck. So quiet. Was perfect for our trip. Margaret is lovely.

Possibly the perfect beach stay. It’s peaceful, not fussy, relaxed but so, so beautiful. Close enough to the beach to be convenient, but far enough away to be quiet and private. The surrounding area is wonderfully tropical. The house is perfectly relaxed. Why go to the islands when you can come here?

Loved Mabel’s!! Great location on a beautiful bay. Beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and comfortable bed. Appreciated the helpful tips and welcoming gift. Would come back in a heartbeat and highly recommend if you are touring the north. Thank you Richard

We had a fantastic two-night stay in Paihia! The home was great—spacious, comfortable and in a perfect, quiet location. Communication with the host was excellent, making everything smooth and easy. Highly recommended!

We were six couples who had a thoroughly enjoyable break from city life for 5 days. Used it as a base to do day trips to go fishing, trip to Cape Reinga and Kerikeri. Big comfortable home and friendly responsive host

Absolutely gorgeous property. Comfortable beds and large bathrooms. It even smelled great when we arrived. We ordered the breakfast basket which was delivered with flowers and was so good. The bbq basket was also worth it. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

This home is awesome, so close to everything and has everything you need. Unfortunately, the pool heating wasn't playing ball but we were able to take advantage of the spa.

Highly recommend this fabulous place, clean, quiet and easy walking into town. Accommodation is well suited for 8 visitors. Loved the three bathrooms, plenty of towels and easy to book and use the shared facilities, pool, spa and bbq. Thank you Olivia, we will definitely be back.

Amazing views, exceptional place and Jeff is a great host. This was a very memorable relaxing holiday. We hope to visit this stunning place again sometime soon!!

We came up from Auckland for a wedding & the property was local to everything The property was great and both Rob & his wife were lovely. We barely seen them so we decided to go say hello down at their Phat House bar in haruru. We had a couple of nephews come and visit while we were up aswell . Catching up with whanau and coming back to relax there was lovely .

Ideal for our group of golfing guys looking for a comfortable house with individual beds and close to all local amenities. Awesome outdoor area to have an end of day catchup before walking into Paihia for dinner. The next time we head north we will want to stay here again.

Fantastic stay! The hosts were super lovely to deal with and had lots of friendly animals as well. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. Nice and peaceful and quiet, overall we had a very enjoyable stay.
