Vacation rentals in Bay of Islands

We had a fantastic stay at this property! The interior is brand new and beautifully set up. The kids absolutely loved the game console and our nightly movie sessions — such a treat! The beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, all spotlessly clean. My personal favorite was the laundry room — brand new, clean, and stocked with plenty of beach towels, which came in really handy. The outdoor decking area and the spa were a big hit with the kids as well. The location is perfect — quiet yet convenient. Just a three-minute walk to the beach playground, and only a five-minute drive to the town center and main attractions. The kids said it was the most comfortable place we’ve ever stayed in. We’d love to come back again!

We had the most wonderful time and Lea and Peter’s place! We were given such a warm and friendly welcome, we immediately felt right at home! The freshly baked bread was just divine, along with fresh eggs, local dairy and chocolates. We followed all of Lea’s recommendations for where to eat and what to do and were not disappointed-Tower Hill was an absolute highlight. Thank you for such a wonderful stay-we will be back!

Staying at Rustic Waters was lovely. The location was perfect, the home was cozy and clean especially with the wood fire going. Brad & Laurel were always available to answer our questions if we needed them. I highly recommend staying here with the lovely views.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location. Jo was a really helpful host, providing details about the accessibility. Had a great time!

Bohdan was an amazing host! Super friendly, reliable and welcoming. The place was beautiful and super close to town, everything we needed was within walking distance which was nice. Would highly recommend for anybody looking to stay along great ocean road :) Thank you for making us feel at home we had a great stay!

Fantastic setting and so private. Lovely personal touches and everything as described. Space to enjoy the privacy yet close enough to a vibrant town as well. Our dog loved it!

We had a fabulous time at Theo’s place. There were 5 of us (2 adults and 3 grown up children)+ our dog. Plenty of space for everyone. We loved the upstairs living area/kitchen area with a great balcony and wonderful views over Marengo and the paddocks. Perfect to relax with a good book and/or some afternoon drinks. The house is nicely tugged away but still easy to walk to the Main Street and the beach. Our dog and us also loved the garden with all the nice fruit trees. It was perfect for our dog as there was plenty of room for him but also safe as it was all enclosed. We definitely will be back.

We had a fantastic stay! The house was welcoming and comfortable, with all the amenity you need for a short or longer stay. It was too cold for us to use the pool but the open fire place and spa bath were both highlights. We loved exploring the farm and helping with the sheep and chickens and our dog had an amazing time running around the property. This house offers the best of both worlds - private bush surrounds but only 5 mins into Lorne for the beach and restaurants! Jack and Hayley were fantastic with communication - super responsive and accommodating! We also really appreciated meeting Jenny and Peter and their hospitality during our stay. Highly recommend and we look forward to booking again in the future!

Great stay and closed to beach
