Cottage holiday rentals in New Zealand

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Easy to find, stunning location, private, clean and tidy. Hosts were incredible, and always attentive and putting so much care and love into everything.

We are already planning a second visit to Julie and Dean’s place. The bach was so comfortable and clean and such an easy check in process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place, or Havelock North, to others.

We can't speak highly enough about the place. It's a little haven where the atmosphere and surroundings almost force you to kick back and forget about [almost] everything and just enjoy. The surrounding areas compliment the accommodations, and the local people reflect the laid-back approach to life. With pristine beaches, great food from the local cafes and restaurants through to the weekend markets there is something for everyone here.

Fabulous cottage. Loved staying here. The bed was super comfortable and the cottage had everything we needed. Everything was clean and well presented. It was all great. Tania was very helpful and friendly.

We are beyond grateful for finding Nicolettes Airbnb to recharge our batteries. The location is so relaxing, we just chilled out and made home cooked dinners. Such a wonderful place for anyone looking to enjoy the scenery with your significant other. Such a wonderful stay!

I highly recommend booking the hot tub and having a soak while the sunsets

Lovely character cottage. We felt very comfortable. The hot tub was great after a swim in the river. We even managed to fit in one of the puzzles provided 😊

Lovely place to stay.- Great hosts great communication, very friendly. Lovely surroundings and very peaceful.

This is our second stay in this gorgeous cottage and I’m sure there will be many more. It is cosy and idyllic and our hosts provided so many thoughtful touches including setting up the fireplace in anticipation of a chilly weekend. It has become our happy place

We had a wonderful time in this lovely home with an amazing, peaceful location and spectacular view of Ben Ohau. The house was beautifully decorated, cosy and warm. Clare was a great host!

My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Helen. Our accommodation was warm, cozy and charming. If you’re looking for a quiet get away with a bit of nature I definitely recommend. We were well looked after and even got a cute visit from their cat. We didn’t feel like we missed out on anything at all, Helen pretty much thought of everything. Hope you can get to experience it too!!

Great stay with plenty of room for family of 5. Very clean and had everything we needed. Lovely quiet spot.

A wonderfully cozy cottage! What a great find! The cottage is comfortable, spacious and clean. I felt right at home. Dean and Annie were very friendly hosts, who took the time to chat with me and introduce me to their family and pets. I can highly recommend staying here :)

Incredible stay at Jody’s, the location was incredible at the foot of the mountains with views down to the lake. Jody had lots of great recommendations, including great hikes and good restaurants in town. It was the perfect place for us to unwind after a big hike, the spa pool was a huge bonus! Thank you Jody!

Great bungalow with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Was great for kids and dogs.

What a great location & view! The beach cottage was cozy& Gail is very friendly & responsive😀 walkable to a really neat trail too.

Thanks Wendy, we always love our stays in your cottage 😊

Highly recommend. Views are awesome. The home was spotless clean. I have traveled and have always wanted to see the milky way and been disappointed. I saw it our 1st night which was clear. We had a pair of binoculars as well and it was amazing

We spent 4 nights at Lewis & Charlotte’s place on Waiheke and couldn’t have asked for more. The property is superbly located, just a 5 minute walk from Oneroa village, and was a perfect base for us. The cottage itself is tastefully and comfortably furnished, with a genuinely enormous conservatory/covered outdoor atrium that meant we had tonnes of space regardless of the weather! Lewis and Charlotte are also A+ hosts, from helpful local tips and proactive communication to thoughtful little touches like popping around to turn on the lights when we were going to arrive after dark. Highly recommend this property for your next Waiheke trip!

Lovely peaceful, rural cottage. The beds were super comfy and it was lovely sitting out on the verandah watching 'cow TV' in tge evening with the very friendly and wekk behaved dogs for company. The host Claire was very helpful abd responsive to messages too. Would definitely stay again

We stayed 7 nights and this was ideal for the comfortable, peaceful stay that we were looking for. Really well-stocked and equipped kitchen suited us well. Extra fridge and freezer space was available when we asked.

We spent a wonderful long weekend in Shona's cute little cottage! The surrounding landscapes were gorgeous, we were visited but a lot of lovely birds. From the little fireplace to the outdoor bath with a view, recommended takeaway pizza, cute memorabilia and privacy and quiet of the place, I got everything I needed from this weekend away before our baby comes. we even took some beautiful maternity photos around the garden! Thank you Shona for this little slice of heaven :)

I cannot recommend this property highly enough! It is in a beautiful private setting yet also close to the beach, and we walked into Māpua several times insured of driving. The cottage had everything we needed, was squeaky clean and tidy and Sinead was a brilliant host with fabulous communication. We will definitely be back!

One of the best Airbnbs I’ve stayed at. The house was very modern, super clean, and had everything we needed. It’s located in a beautiful area—very quiet and private. Also really close to Napier and the wineries we went to. Would definitely stay here again.
