Cottage vacation rentals in Auckland

Great family stay for three generations. Local beaches are close by and all amenities you could need are not far by car. Shops for essentials are within easy walking distance. Something to do in all weathers

What an exquisite and inspiring view of Bethells Beach! The view from the deck was amazing. The cottage was very quiet and peaceful. John was an excellent host. We enjoyed walking the beach and hiking to Lake Waimanu past the huge dunes.

We had an amazing stay at this lovely home! The views are absolutely spectacular, and soaking in the hot tub while overlooking the lush surroundings was truly magical. The house is well-equipped with everything you need, and the kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms were all clean and thoughtfully set up. The location is wonderfully private, yet conveniently close to a stunning spa resort where you can enjoy delicious meals or indulge in a spa treatment with equally fabulous views. Just a heads-up: there are no shops nearby, so be sure to stock up on food and drinks before you arrive. Overall, this was a perfect getaway, and we would definitely stay here again!

Lovely place for our small bridal party. Sarah was awesome to deal with. Very tidy and peaceful place.

Excellent accomodation. Spacious and spot clean. Very well located with bus stops nearby. Friendly hosts. Highly recommended .

Great spot for a relaxing break with stunning views. Exactly as described and cosy during the storms. Baths were a nice additional and there were lots of nice touches with the muffins and the milk. Perfect for unwinding whilst not being too far from the city. Thanks for a great stay!

Very nice tiny house. Central with Saturday market 2min walking distance. 5min driving from Palm Beach and Onetangi. Clean and parking spot. Very few and simple equipement for cooking.

It was exactly as it was described. A rural setting in a very quiet area. Everything was very clean and tidy and the beds very comfortable. Outside there is a lovely jacuzzi and a BBQ perfect for a summers evening. My family live close by so would definitely like to visit again.

Great accommodation and suited us for what we needed. Very quiet and peaceful neighbourhood.

A great place to stay. Very clean, and peaceful . Friendly, and great communication. Highly recommend.

The main purpose for this trip was to help with our daughter's move to Auckland. From that, we were looking for somewhere convenient to her new place that we could use as a home base. Barbara's place was that, and more! True to the pictures, it's a lovely wee cottage with gorgeous views. Despite being in the city, the cottage is pleasantly private, looking into bush, with the bay beyond, and quiet. Moreover, the Coastal Track is just up -- or down -- the road, providing opportunities for bush walks, while restaurants and shops are also nearby and handy. We'd happily stay again on our next visit to Auckland -

Good house on stunning / sheltered small Auckland beach - large living room; well set-up kitchen; two very pretty front bedrooms and a third smaller/quieter; two good bathrooms; great verandah with chairs/table. House is down a good but tall path from a quiet street and literally a few metres from the beach, which is sheltered/shallow (and quite popular on warm days at high tide but otherwise quiet). 5-15 minutes drive to Kohimarama / St Heliers.

Great place to stay, very clean and just what my partner and I needed during our holiday.

An amazing place to relax and unwind! The views were absolutely stunning, making it the perfect spot to escape and enjoy some peaceful time. The projector gave us a true cinema-like experience, which made our stay even more special. And the spa-pool so relaxing! It was the perfect way to end the day. The driveway was a little steep, so make sure your car brakes are in good condition. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a cozy and enjoyable getaway.

We had a great stay here. The location is very peaceful and perfect for kayaking when the tide is in. Also great for walks with the dogs; we got join the locals for a walk at 8:30. We were lucky with the weather and the quiet suited us very well. Also, the BBQ has a side panel which we used to cook food outside in a pan. Thanks for the stay - we had a restful time doing not a lot! :)

We stayed at this property recently and found the space itself to be beautiful, well-maintained, and very comfortable. The location was great, and the property had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Unfortunately, there was a misunderstanding regarding a late check-out request, which was initially agreed upon but later couldn’t be accommodated due to other bookings. While this caused some inconvenience, the host acknowledged the mistake and worked with us to provide a resolution, including a partial refund. Overall, we loved the property and would recommend it for future stays, but we suggest confirming any special arrangements with the host in advance to avoid potential misunderstandings.

What a place! We booked here originally for a week but our plans changed slightly and luckily Kelly was able to accomodate us for a few more days, thankyou! The accomodation is set in beautiful surroundings, birds are tweeting every morning, so peaceful and quiet, you can sit outside having your coffee in the morning. The kitchen is very well equipped, everything you need, very comfortable bed and so cozy throughout! We are cat lovers so was lovely having some feline friends strolling about :-) Kelly was always there for anything you need. If we come back to NZ again in the future, we will definitely be coming back to stay.

Was a great location! A close and easy walk to the beach. Very clean and comfortable place. A quick drive to downtown Auckland but a nice peaceful distance from the big city. It was perfect! I would highly recommend staying here!

Our daughter was getting married at a local venue, and the location of Lichfields Cottage was perfect for the bridal party's preparation for the big day. The cottage was comfortable and clean, and Kirsty provided a very useful list of local amenities and was responsive yet remained discreet. Thank you Kirsty for your kindness and we enjoyed our daily visits from the dog and the chickens. A wonderful distraction for our nervius bridesmaids.

Elliot’s cottage in Newmarket was the perfect stay for us. The two rooms were big and comfortable. The location is central and there are lots of great places to eat and shop. Elliot was a great host. He was friendly and proactive and checked on us halfway through our stay to see if there was anything we needed. We would definitely stay at the cottage again.

This little place was a coastal gem and perfect for our stay. Gay was easy to communicate with and the cottage was cute and wonderfully curated. In fact we wished we had booked another couple of nights to completely chill out. It was extremely peaceful and a delight sitting on the verandah watching the sunrise. We would love to go back !

Lovely place, great view off of private deck. We would stay here again!

We are grateful for your hospitality Brian and appreciate how much care you showed to ensure our stay was relaxing and enjoyable. We loved the location and how clean and peaceful it was. I recommend this accommodation to those looking for a safe, peaceful location, close to local amenities and transport. We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

A second stay for our group and this place is just perfect - grows to fit 6 people and the beds are comfy as. House has a lovely, clean vibe. Very happy here. Lovely walks down to the ocean or up trig hill road to experience the kākā, tūī and kererū, and the views.
