Apartment vacation rentals in Bay Of Islands

We loved the unique venue. Great decor and very well thought out as to what was needed for your stay. The traffic noise is loud from the passing cars but we had expected this due to the other reviews. But a delightful weekend away with great things to do locally.

Thank you for hosting us. The place was beautiful and perfect for what we needed. Bonus few toys for the kids to play with and bonus perk coffee for us parents in the AM! Comfortable beds and felt very homely. Lovely place and would stay again. Thank you!

Had an awesome stay! The place was clean, well set up, and just as described. The view from the deck was beautiful. The host was easy to communicate with and check-in was smooth. Definitely recommend!

Antje's place is a real gem. It is ideally located for exploring the Bay of Islands and is super comfortable. Antje is a wonderful host, with many local recommedations. We loved our stay and hope to be back. Highly recommended!

Absolutely stunning Airbnb, one of if not the best we’ve ever stayed in (we’re doing a round the world trip so have stayed in a lot by now)! It was absolutely pristine, we felt like we were checking into a 5* hotel with the quality of the beds, linens, towels etc. It is genuinely nicer than the photos and more spacious, and it was so appreciated that Anita had some provisions and snacks like milk, chocolates, crisps and fruit there for us when we arrived. Anita is lovely and so friendly! She kindly greeted us at check in, showed us around and how everything works, and gave us some fantastic local recommendations which we did and thoroughly enjoyed, in particular the coastal trail to Paihia and getting the car ferry across the bay to go to Russell. The views over the bay, watching the boats come and go, are stunning. We didn’t use the BBQ that’s on the balcony but would have if we’d stayed longer, which I wish we had! Overall we couldn’t fault this place, and HIGHLY recommend staying

The location is perfect, just a few meters from the beach. We really enjoy the balcony and the spaciousness of the apartment. While it is starting to show its age and could benefit from some renovations soon, it is still in good living condition. The host couple is very friendly.

Very good place, better than what it looks from the pictures.

We had a wonderful stay at Shelley’s place the house was exactly as described but even better inside than we expected. We loved having fresh eggs and bread on arrival along with fruit and lots of other goodies. Shelley was so helpful and kind our entire stay and always in touch immediately when we need to ask something. The location is only a 20 min walk into town along the beach or over the the hill depending on the tides. It’s a great place to stay to explore the Bay of Islands!

An absolutely beautiful location and accommodation. We really loved exploring Langs and the view from the unit is just stunning

A wonderful place! Very clean and tidy 👍 The house is located in a secluded area - very quiet and beautiful. Incredible views of the local fields and an old church. A big thank to the hosts for their warm and sincere hospitality. They provided everything needed for a full breakfast - including fresh feijoa! 😋 We highly recommend this lovely place for a peaceful and cozy stay! 🙌

This was a top 3 Airbnb experience - and we’ve been to a lot of Airbnbs! Everything was immaculate and tastefully / uniquely decorated. Things that stood out: GREAT linens - this went from bedsheets to towels to dish towels. And Sheenah thought of every little detail - the unit has everything we needed and more. She also left thoughtful surprises like a little jar of local honey. Couldn’t recommend this place enough! We’d love to come back!

What a fabulous place to stay! A beautiful location overlooking the bay. We saw two orca in the bay on our first night, which was amazing. The accommodation is wonderful. Fabulous furnishings with beautiful sculptures and art on the walls. We arrived to find a selection of wines, chocolates, home-made biscuits and granola, as well as some wonderful ham, cheese, OJ and other useful fridge staples. Communication with Heather was great, with plenty of helpful information about the local area. Absolutely perfect - thank you!

Angela’s place was perfect, great location and had so many great amenities including a fridge with a water filter. The deck is perfect to relax in the evening with a fantastic view of the bay.

Loved staying at Liz’s place! Comfortable beds! Wow they were comfortable! The outside deck made you feel like you were in a tiny oasis. 4 min walk to one of the most beautiful beaches! Would definitely recommend staying! Liz even let us barrow two bikes for our young children. Thank you Liz!

Perfect in every way! Lovely outdoor space and view. Spacious living area. Clean and very comfortable. Helpful hosts. We will be back! Loved the area and Russell.

Spacious and comfortable apartment. Bed is raised, requiring a climb up a short ladder. Not a problem for us. Great location, very peaceful but only a 20 minute walk from the centre of Russell.

Great place and host，will come back if visiting tutukaka again.

Although the weather wasn’t great, our stay was lovely. Peter and Jacqueline let us know right away that the spa was broken but that they were working to get it fixed as soon as possible. They even brought us chocolates to make up for it. We were very happy to get to use it on our last morning. The view was fantastic!

Great location - walkable to Paihia waterfront but away from the bustle of the main road. It was very clean and had everything we needed including kitchen utensils. The bathroom was nice and spacious with the spa being a very nice bonus.

Back home in Wellington but wish I was still at Paul and Nuttha's. Paul and Nuttha were great hosts and their place was amazing; gorgeous garden, good location and an immaculately presented place that was comfortable with all the trimmings. The beds were so comfy it was easy to drop off after a day of sightseeing. Excellent amenities (bathroom, kitchen, tea/coffee & breakfast stuff, parking, TV etc.). Paul and Nuttha are thoughtful hosts who were welcoming, accommodating and generous. Nuttha's cakes are the best and Paul's tips on what to see and do are saved us a lot of time. We were even able to pick persimmons to take home and Paul let us take cuttings from his garden! Will definitely book again if I'm up there again in the future. Thank you Paul and Nuttha for the lovely stay!

Truly excellent stay, Ian and Sue were lovely and the apartment so comfy and clean. We can’t wait to stay there again. Definitely do not miss the sunrise and the hidden beach!

Room with a view for sure! It’s right on a very pretty beach, but up a few stairs so there’s privacy. The room is very spacious, it’s good a great little kitchen at one end, and a modern bathroom. There’s a nice patio to sit out on and enjoy the view, would recommend for those wanting a beach space.

Great place, fantastic views, and the hot tub was very useful for relaxing after a hard days touring. Andrew was very friendly and helped explain lots of things. Just be mindful of the 30 stairs up from the garage to the unit..... If it's available next time we visit we will be back.
