Vacation rentals with beach access in Ngunguru

We had a wonderful time at the apartment in Mangawhai Heads. The apartment is so clean and has everything you need. The location is amazing, a few steps to Picnic Bay and you a very short walk around to the surf beach. Paul and Barbara were great hosts, very responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Quintessential kiwi batch, located directly in front of beautiful Manapouri beach. Great place to re set the mind and body from busy city lifestyle. Will definitely re book when the chance  arises. Thanks Mark!

One of the things that’s hard about finding a place in a new place is the sense of relative distances. We were further outside of town than we had expected, but man was it worth it. The views down to the bay were spectacular. And being from the northern hemisphere, the night sky is of particular interest. We were lucky with high pressure, so being just far enough outside of town gave us breathtaking star gazing. Jo was so helpful in making suggestions for places to see, quickly able to help us prioritize based on the way we roll, a good mix of walking and driving, a wonderful resource and real hospitality pro. Already looking forward to our next visit.

A wonderful place to stay, comfortable, clean and well equipped for a week long stay. A great base to be able to explore the bay of islands from. Walking distance to Opua and close to Paihia. Kerry was a great and friendly host. Particularly liked the information pack that contained local knowledge and had all relevant info about the house. The breakfast starter kit with homemade break was great too!

We enjoyed our 6 nights at The Shores! Lil is the sweetest host who makes you feel right at home. She had great recommendations! We loved the quick walk to the beach and the views surrounding. The apt is well equipped and very clean! We would highly recommended.

It’s a special place right by the water, it has beautiful views and the place is thoughtful prepared by the host. Anita and Matthew are so friendly and easy to communicate. We would love to come back again!

5 ⭐️ star all the way. Could not have had a better time. Well placed for day trips or walks. Cozy and open with a wonderful outdoor space. Everything I needed well laid. Leeann was very accessible and friendly. Would absolutely return.

John’s place was absolutely fantastic—exactly what we were looking for! The location, right next to the ferry in Opua, couldn’t have been more convenient, giving us easy access to explore the area, whether by ferry, boat, or car. The boathouse is a truly unique experience, built right on the water, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere throughout our stay. It was such a treat to wake up and hear the gentle sounds of the water just below us. The accommodation was spotless, with the kitchen and bathrooms immaculately clean, which made us feel right at home. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and every detail of the space was thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. We appreciated how well-stocked and organized everything was, from the kitchen essentials to the fresh linens. John was an excellent host, always responsive and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed. We can’t wait to come back!!

My friends and I spent new years at Castle Rock Beach House and we all agreed it was our best one yet. The house itself is stunning, views magnificent and although it’s very fancy - it’s also unpretentious and felt like home. We spent a magical week there basking in the views, swimming in the private bay and cooking up a storm. We would love to stay again one day - thank you for the most memorable way to bring in 2025.

Jessica’s home was well stocked- kitchen looked out on a sunny patio- it was a short walk to the beach- it suited my mum aged 93 and my grand daughter aged 7- even had a cupboard stocked with games

Karl was a fantastic host, with a great property in an idyllic location. This would be a great getaway for a number of couples, or a couple of families. There are lots of spaces to hang out - inside and out - as well as the jacuzzi, which is the cherry on top.

Wonderful home right on the water! Thank you for having us!

Amazing host, great communication and super clean and tidy house.

Great location. Nice and quiet with the beach and cafe in walking distance, house was very neat and tidy!

Great holiday spot! A very relaxing long weekend with great swimming. Easy track down from the house to Staffa Bay or a five minute walk to Whale Bay car park. Thanks Lucy and Paul!

Total paradise with stunning views, a private beach and welcoming hosts. The accommodation was very comfortable with everything we needed, and did I mention the views? We stayed five nights with 2 adults and 4 children and even when the weather turned rough it was always a relaxing place to be. The beach was stunning, great for swimming, paddle boarding, snorkelling etc. There is a fairly steep bank to navigate to get down to the beach which is no problem for most but something to be aware of if you have mobility constraints. Thank you Marina and Tony for being such great hosts, we hope to be back one day.

Great hosts, made to feel welcome and at home,lovely garden,peaceful and quiet location, spotless and more than we expected would totally recommend Tony and Nora as host and somewhere to stay, great value for mkney.

Lovely balcony over looking marina. Marina is quiet and the backdrop views are great. The only negative is the toilet is downstairs and for an old bloke trips down from the lovely studio bedroom were problematic 😀. Other than that highly recommend the place

It was a lovely relaxing spot to spend a week in a rural setting with sea views out to the Poor Knights islands. A large property, accessed off a private road so very secluded and peaceful. Handy location half way between Matapouri Bay and Tutukaka, although you do need a car to go anywhere. Kitchen was very well equipped including basic supplies. Access to an indoor swimming pool, ability to charge the EV, and use of the laundry was a bonus. The hosts were very welcoming on arrival and explained the facilities and beach access path. Special touches were a bottle of wine and locally made nut brittle on arrival, and acknowledgement of our wedding anniversary which was during our stay. Annette and Bianca were super helpful and responded promptly to any questions.

Absolutely beautiful location right across down a gorgeous private swimming beach. Apartment was super clean and looked after with lots of extra provisions, breakfast, toiletries, towels etc. Thank you Linda for such a wonderful time at One Tree Point. 10/10
