Holiday houses in Karikari Moana

Well equipped kitchen, big spacious house, great for our group of 5. At least a 10min flat walk to the beach, however a beach cart was needed if taking a beach cabana and chilli bins etc. We opted for a short drive to the beach when we were going for a few hours. Nice walk up the hill through bush to get to Whale Bay which was beautiful.

This place was absolutely incredible! The location was perfect, with breathtaking cliffside ocean views that made every moment special. It was very private and had plenty of space to relax and unwind. The house was well-equipped with everything we needed, making our stay comfortable and stress-free. On top of that, the owner was incredibly kind and even allowed us a late check-out, which we truly appreciated. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway!

Excellent home perfect for our party of 6 Adults over 60. Given our age and fitness levels however, we found the steepness of the road (It is short, maybe 250m to house, but extremely steep) restricted our ability to only 1 stroll to shops/beach.

Amazing stay with Malcolm and Penelope, breath-taking views with a short trip into town for lovely food and drink. What more can you ask for!

Anthony is a great host, very responsive and friendly. The house is amazing and the views are something else! Russell is a lovely place to visit as well. We loved our stay and hope to be back one day!

11 out of 10! This place ticked all our boxes and absolutely exceeded our expectations! Private, gorgeous views and had everything we needed for a weekend away! We loved having an evening drink on the deck and watching the sunset in the hot tub! Silv and Steve were such wonderful hosts! They were friendly, genuine, generous and really walked the extra mile for us. Could not recommend their beautiful place enough!

One of the things that’s hard about finding a place in a new place is the sense of relative distances. We were further outside of town than we had expected, but man was it worth it. The views down to the bay were spectacular. And being from the northern hemisphere, the night sky is of particular interest. We were lucky with high pressure, so being just far enough outside of town gave us breathtaking star gazing. Jo was so helpful in making suggestions for places to see, quickly able to help us prioritize based on the way we roll, a good mix of walking and driving, a wonderful resource and real hospitality pro. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Such a peaceful, beautiful park like setting. The accommodation itself has everything you’ll need. There are so many huge windows that bring the outside in. Minutes to beautiful beaches and local restaurants and shops. Greg and Annette are fabulous hosts. So friendly and personable with lots of recommendations of things to see.

Steve was a fantastic host—very responsive, helpful, and flexible with check-in and move-out times. The location was stunning! We had a private beach to ourselves all week, gorgeous views, and easy access to the longest footbridge in the Southern Hemisphere. The property also included two kayaks, which we used to explore the nearby rocks with incredible views and crystal-clear water. Our only hiccup was the lack of linens, but this was clearly stated in the Airbnb listing—we just missed it. I recommend reading the listing carefully, as towels and sheets are only provided for an additional charge. Also, nearly the entire house is carpeted, so be mindful with drinks. Overall, a great stay!
