Villa vacation rentals in Bay of Plenty

A nice, clean house - the location is as described, and is kitted out with practical but basic furnishings, enough to have everything you need, but without feeling too comfortable (!). Ideal for families and those staying in Rotorua for the outdoor activities. It was fine for us for one night's stay. We'd suggest having lamps in the living room so that it could feel less like a hostel, and larger groups would probably appreciate having enough seating for everyone in that room - as it's set up for a scant few in spite of the spaciousness. Would have preferred the full use of the closet in one of the bedrooms, rather than a random mattress occupying it.

Stayed with Kathy a few times now. Always seamless.

This home was a spacious place for my family to relax, and the host was absolutely excellent and even provided some local recommendations for food on Christmas Day when we thought most places would be closed. The surroundings are serene, and my family very much enjoyed staying here.

If you want to go to a peaceful haven with beautiful views, an amazing walk,tons of bird life,a comfortable place and very friendly hosts this is the place for you. It was so amazing how Merle and Al have worked so hard to make his arbnb such an oasis. This is one of those places you don’t want to leave during the day because it is just so nice sitting on the deck and taking everything in. We would highly recommend this place to anyone touring New Zealand! Helena and Bruce Grant Calgary,Canada

This house is located in a beautiful area, a very quick walk across the road to a pristine beach. The house has everything we needed for a Sisters weekend getaway! The only time I contacted the host with a small question I received an answer within 5 minutes, this home is very private and also very quiet (except for neighbors dog, who like any dog would bark at us 😄) I would recommend this home to anyone wanting a fantastic getaway.

Great location, just a short walk to both BayFair and the beach - perfect for a summer stay. The space is spacious and well-equipped with everything you need. Charles and Kylie were excellent hosts, very communicative and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Des’ place is awesome! The whole place feels like you’re staying in a museum of sports, every corner of the house tells a story. It is so personal and cozy, it makes you feel at home. Perfect location with second to none surroundings. Just a few minutes drive from Rotorua, perfect if you want to get away from the noise and hurry of the day to day life.

the property was great and was perfect with the off street parking. thank you for being a great host. made the journey easy. will book again

This place is absolutely INCREDIBLE! I can't recommend it enough. We booked it for a night for a hens party and the look on guests faces when they arrived was priceless. Such a hidden gem in Katikati, and well worth the drive there if you are considering staying. The house was spectacular and so accommodating to a large group of people, with a lovely courtyard for outdoor activities. The little cottages were also a lovely surprise for guests and so well maintained. Laura's communication was also excellent. I would love to visit again one day. . . and stay for a week!

Great to deal with the host, just everything was perfect. Flexible check in and check out process with great communication. The place was spotless and beds are very comfortable. One of the best air bnb places that we ever tried. We will definitely come back again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house and Johnnie were both fantastic. we will be back.

We stayed at Centennial house for a 40th Birthday Family celebration and I couldn't recommend this place highly enough! There is so much space with beautiful bedroom suites and outdoor areas. A lovely outdoor patio where the kids enjoyed playing and riding their bikes and finding the friendly sheep and cow. The house was immaculately clean, the kitchen is fabulous with heaps of space and all the cooking equipment you could ever need available. Plenty of dining table space, with a covered outdoor conservatory with a gas heater which we enjoyed a family dinner at one night. John and Caroline are incredible hosts, very responsive with messages both prior to and during our stay. John also smoked a trout for us on arrival which was delicious! We all had a lovely stay and cannot thank John and Caroline enough for making the weekend so stress-free.

Beautifully renovated home in the heart of Rotas. Made the most of the pool and spa. Nice and spacious home, very clean. Not alot of food storage space. Neighbour at the back of the pool was very unkind and does not like loud laughter not even music. Based on this we may rethink ever staying again.

A lovely villa, beautiful lake views, Comfortable beds, so cosy and warm. Easy check in, fast communication with hosts. All amenities provided and super clean Thank you to Alma and John

Just a big thank you and appreciate it heaps ☺️

This is a fabulous place to stay especially for families with a range of ages. It had everything we could wish for. Cindy & Jon were wonderful hosts.
