Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful Airbnb! The home is warm, cozy, and the beds are very comfy. One of the highlights was definitely the two adorable cats – they were an absolute joy! We love Mangu and Pangu 🩷 I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable stay in Rotorua!!

Place was beautiful, we spent time round the pool and in the spa. Felt like a home away from home! Thanks so much for having us, look forward to staying again ☺️

What a spot!! absolute beachfront, high up on the hill overlooking the beach. We booked for our wedding night, but hosts were flexible with an early check in so the bridal party could get ready. Don't book if you don't like listening to the roar of the ocean when it's windy, but if you find it soothing like us, then it's perfect! Nice stairs down to the sand, perfect for a walk, and a nice deck area. The undercover area with fire is so nice for that bad weather but wanting a cosy spot to relax. I have zero complaints, place was spotless, nicely laid out and great parking. We are local to the Pukehina area, but if we ever need to book somewhere there again, this will be first on this list! Thank you Merilyn for your amazing communication and flexibility. We really appreciate it and your cosy place.

Great place to go and celebrate my birthday with my girls. the layout, space and configuration suited us well. we spent most of our time in the spa which was clean and had easy access in and out. there was no salt and pepper or oil on the property so we had to go buy it although it was written as being provided. Not a biggie but would have been handy. The host was quite easy to communicate with and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back.

Nicola went above and beyond for me and my friends for my 40th birthday. The house has so much character and so much to do. The tennis court and swimming pool were an added bonus on top of everything else. The house had everything we needed. Great place for everyone to enjoy.

A taste of Tuscany in Newstead is all we can say!! Great indoor outdoor flow with all the amenities to keep people active and engaged. The tennis court provided entertainment and controversy while the spa and pool provided relaxation and ambiance. The complementary bubbles received on arrival was well needed after a long trip with a talkative passenger. Great entertainment facilities and loved the touch of country surroundings, would stay again.

Suzy’s beach house was an amazing getaway for our family. Lots of space and the views were amazing. Suzy has spent a lot of energy making the place feel like a home. She was also very available for questions. I hope we can stay again in the future, thanks Suzy!!

We wanted to express our gratitude for having us. From clear check-in instructions to the handy welcome book, everything was thoughtfully prepared, making our stay stress-free and delightful. A perfect retreat with sincere appreciation.

We spent NYE at Agata's place and had a wonderful stay. The accommodation is very modern and clean and just recently built. You also have an outside kitchen and a beautiful landscape around the house. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed our stay. If you look for a quiet place away from the rush of the city, you're just right here!

My sister and I stayed just one night, wish we had time to stay another. Lovely country property and so nice to have horses nearby. Enjoyed pizza on the back deck for dinner. Kitchen was well equipped. Would stay again.

We found the house to be as described, even more. It was spacious with a nice view from both the living room and the bedroom. The neighborhood was very quiet and a short drive to the city center. It was very easy to communicate with Vanessa. We would love to stay at the same place if we visit Auckland again.

Peter’s AirBNB is gorgeous and well stocked. He was friendly, responsive, and on premise much of our stay (which is a private section of his home), but also great about giving us privacy. We especially enjoyed the pool and charming garden spaces - as well as the breakfast food and tea/coffee provided. A few notes that weren’t fully clear to me before arriving: >Washer is on site but generally not for guest use (though we got the OK to do a couple loads when we asked) > There is no living room or indoor common area of the Airbnb space. > There are gorgeous outdoor spaces with shade covering to enjoy for meals at home - but only bedroom/hallway space available indoors for “hang out space” > The Rotary walk area is easily accessible from this space - and the views are even better than the pictures :)

Really enjoyed my stay, perfect location if you want to be close to the centre of Howick. Clear instructions, private. Peaceful, nice quiet Aircon, super comfy bed and pillow. Has everything you need. Very organised, well thought out. Good communication, Ali really cares about his guests having a great stay. Awesome value, I highly recommend this Airbnb.

Our stay at Tui & Nikau was beautiful. The place is so serene, private, and peaceful, and the accommodation had everything we needed and more. The hosts were super helpful and made the whole experience seamless. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend for all! We are a family of 5 and enjoyed our stay here. It is nice and close to everything and walking distance to Hahei resort. The accommodation had everything we needed for our stay. Fleur was friendly and had prompt communication. We would stay here again :)

Although we didn’t meet our hosts our stay really lovely. Easy access, very clean and charming surroundings. Loved the extra treats upon our arrival and your breakfast basket. Will definitely recommend to others and stay again if available. Loved visiting our ‘old haunts’ of West Auckland from 25 years ago. Thank you so much.

Fantastic stay. Felt at home straight away. Diane was so lovely and accommodating. She told us to feel at home and was very accommodating to our little dog who had the best time ever. My father said he wanted to move in ! we would definitely stay again and recommend to others

Beautiful view and comfortable stay. Delicious brownies when we arrived really hit the spot after a long day of driving.

Wonderful stay at the Cute Eco Cabin! Corrine was a fabulous host! Responsive, kind and she went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable. She even left local, fresh ground coffee for us! The cabin is cute and comfortable with a gorgeous view of the lake—and the Milky Way at night with a clear sky! The kitchen has all the cooking aids needed and the grill was awesome to grill snags on and eat on the porch. Definitely recommend!

We loved our 3 night stay at Linda's place, great location, spotlessly clean and homely. The beds are very comfortable and the home is well equipped. Linda was a great host !

Christine’s place was awesome! The cabin has everything you need, our family loved it, and the views were beautiful! Close to Raglan but doesn’t feel like it looking at the amazing view. Christine was friendly and always responsive. Highly recommend!

Our roadtrip took an unexpected change in route so we unfortunately didn't make it out to Rachel's place (which we were very bummed about given how cozy and characterful the log style home it!). When I reached out to Rachel she was very understanding, responsive, friendly and even tried to work with us and be flexible with our arrangement- something she was not at all obligated to do. Next time around, we will try to come back- the surrounding area looks enchanting and we are anxious to explore Coromandel Peninsula!! Rachel was extremely helpful too!!

Had an awesome stay at Matt’s of grid cabin. Wicked views and surroundings. Went down to the river, would advise not taking a baby in a pack as it’s very steep and a lot of gorse etc. Thank you very much

A truly unique and wonderful place where you can get away from it all and enjoy being surrounded by endless rolling green hills - while still being nice and close (20 or so mins) to stunning beaches and coastline. The attention to detail is incredible and Leah couldn’t have been a better, more kind or helpful host. Would definitely recommend
