Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Kennedy Bay

Loved our stay here! Lovely big house, great for large families & gatherings. Close to the beach and lovely neighbourhood & very close still to waihi beach. NZ bach vibes :)

Beautiful place, close to the waterfront and wharf-side restaurants and trails. Owners did a great job communicating with us. Lovely, light-filled home in a quiet neighborhood.

Such a great find in an amazing location. Really close to the beach and shops. Amazing outdoor area and a really clean inside space too. Thank you!!

Jessica's place was amazing, loved the outdoor space to sit after a busy day with a beer. Easy couple of minutes stroll to the town & beach which is absolutely amazing. Very clean, very comfortable beds, great shower. Would definitely recommend to a friend and come back!

The stay was awesome! The location is perfect—within walking distance to everything: Lost Springs, supermarkets, and the beach. The house is clean and well-maintained. It is suitable for long stays. The hosts were very nice. Thank you, guys, for making our holiday enjoyable and hassle-free. We definitely recommend this house and will definitely come back next time!

Suzy’s house had fabulous views and was well set up as a home away from home. It was a great location to explore Hot water beach and Cathedral cove. Suzy was a great host and left lights on for us to find our way when we checked in after it was dark.

We love staying here! It’s our second time and we’ll be back again as soon as we can. Terry is a great host and nothing is too much trouble. The property is in a very central location and is walking distance to main street. There is also safe off road parking. The house is stunning and I love the pieces of art work displayed around the place. We all appreciated the games cupboard and our parents loved the book selection. The new air fryer is a wonderful addition too!

beautiful house, well decorated, private. spacious rooms including bathroom, living kitchen and outdoor entertaining. would definetly stay again if available.

Great place to stay. Close to bus stops and easy to get around without a car. Awesome hosts, even getting the place ready for earlier than expected check in. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay in this beautiful location.Cheryl and Mark were very welcoming and easy to communicate with. The unit is comfortable,homely and thoughtfully prepared. The unit is spacious and suitable for a short or long stay. A tranquil and restful haven.

Julia and her husband are amazing hosts. The directions to their home were spot on. The kitchen was stocked so well one could stay there a week and never have to shopping. They really exceeded any expectation anyone would have of a host. They recommended we go to another town for something called the Beach Hop - what an amazing experience. Thanks to Julia, it was an amazing day. They provided a shovel for use at the Hot Water Beach. All in all this was simply one great place to stay. We were there for three nights but felt so comfortable, if time had permitted, we would have stayed longer. One suggestion though is that if you have mobility issues, this may not be the place for you. Although you are perched on a hillside, downtown is a short stroll downhill

My husband, my friend and I very much enjoyed our stay at John’s place. It was as described, situated conveniently near both the beach and town. Especially appreciated was a second bathroom. John responded promptly to a query or two and offered helpful suggestions. We would definitely recommend his place and would stay there again.

We felt lucky to find Monica's place, so close to a wedding we were attending. The accommodation is in a serence, peaceful space. It is neat and tidy, and relaxing. We enjoyed our stay.

It was lovely to meet Muriel & Evan. They were very accomadating and friendly, allowing us to check in early on the rainy first day. The place was amazing; just what we needed. It felt like being right in the middle of the forest. I could have sat on the balcony all day, rain or shine. We heard kiwis around us both nights, which was very special. Thank you so much for the great stay!

Absolutely incredible. We had the most wonderful experience from beginning to end. Rozelle is a really lovely person and host who goes above and beyond with your stay with her kindness, responsiveness, detailed recommendations, thoughtfulness and helpfulness. The views are something from a postcard and the fact that you can see these from every room is spectacular. The peace, quite, and beauty is absolute bliss. The bus route is right there so it’s easy to get places and there is also a more coastal walk that you can do to Oneroa which is beautiful and not too strenuous. The accommodation is wonderful. It has everything you need. The bed is comfortable and everything was perfectly clean. You felt that you had luxury throughout. Highly recommend :). Thank you for a perfect way to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

Incredible views across the bay, with plenty of peace and quiet! Fantastic place to stay that’s just close enough to town

We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay. It was spacious indoors. Sitting outside with a cold drink taking in the view and watching tuis, quail and fantails was great. We made use of the barbecue and washing machine. Kitchen area was compact. Alan the host was welcoming and gave us good tips on things to do.

Mathilde was very easy to communicate with, she kindly let us check in early and the place was very warm, clean and homely. Would definitely return!

Really enjoyed our stay at Cooks Beach. Easy walk to restaurant and beach very peaceful and friendly. Would come again.

We loved our staying at Faye’s place in Whangamata. It was sparkling clean and well appointed, and the location is amazing - just a tiny walk to the amazing beach with beautiful sea views from the living room and balcony. Faye was so friendly with her communication and was extremely understanding when we interrupted her Friday evening by accidentally locking ourselves out 🫣 (thanks again!!). I would high recommend a stay here and would love to visit again. All the best Faye.

Totally recommend. Lovely comfortable apartment with beautiful view and quiet. Very Clean. Nicola provides very much every we need, coffee, milk, cutlery. Only 1 minutes walk to bus stop and 5 minutes walk to Palm beach, local restaurant and local grocery shop. The beach is amazingly beautiful and people go there swim all day. Definitely love to go back and stay there again.

a lovely stay at the upstairs unit at Rooftops, comfortable and everything we needed. great location close to the Beach and Restaurants

Easy check in instructions, close to supermarket and restaurants, very comfortable bed (we slept well!), tea, coffee and milk available and everything you need to self catering. 2 bedrooms available. Parking available onsite. Thank you for having us!

Great wee unit, easy walk to beach at end of the road.
