Vacation rentals with a patio in Te Arai

We really enjoyed our time at Gordon and Liz’s place. The surroundings are very peaceful and the unit was a great place to base ourselves from, and to relax at the end of the night. It’s located on the same site as the owners but is very private. The gardens are gorgeous and full of bird song, we even heard a Ruru in the middle of the night. Inside the fittings are lovely w good quality linen, comfy beds, and a lovely clean bathroom. There is no lounge per se but w a private deck, TV in one of the rooms and a breakfast bar, we didn’t need it. Nearby is “the cove” restaurant at Waipu Cove, which we love. Great to have time off from cooking. The unit is a few min drive to our favourite, Waipu Cove beach, and behind is a bush walk so lots of beautiful nature to take in. Highly recommend.

The apartment was a beautiful and clean space. We loved staying there and will be back one day! Thanks again

Great communication and she’s even going out of her way to post us what we left behind!

The house was perfect for the five of us. It has lots of space, the hosts were very generous with the condiments and the space was light, comfortable and really clean and tidy. The wi fi was also brilliant!. While the house is nice and peaceful it is a short drive to the shops and about 10 minutes from the beach. We didn’t find this a problem and Leone and Mark were awesome to deal with.

Great location, incredible views and the perfect apartment for us to stay in! William was always really easy to communicate with and made the booking and checking in process super easy. Would absolutely recommend and love to stay again!

Great location, apartment was very clean and well kept - host was very responsive and helpful.

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

We would recommend this place to anyone. Loved every minute of our stay and would definitely return. Thanks Monique.

This place suited our needs for a week in Whangarei near our relatives. The three of us felt welcome with basic essentials provided: we were comfortably housed and could cook for ourselves. Adriana and Michael provided detailed information and were quick to respond to questions. We would use their place again.

We loved our holiday, the batch was perfect for our 3 generations. Well equipped with everything we could need, beautiful views and surroundings, spacious and comfortable. We’re already planning our next visit!

We loved our stay in this beautiful home. The owners have done a phenomenal job of establishing the perfect base from which to enjoy a relaxing beach holiday. Donna was super helpful and responsive all the way through from booking, through to info on checking in, and letting us know about local info that applied during our stay. The location is fabulous, a 5 minute easy walk to the patrolled beach, and 5 mins the other way to a local dairy for day-to-day needs. Spending time at the property is also amazing, plenty of space for the whānau to spread out - a large yard for the kids to play in, the fully covered deck serves as an additional living space regardless of weather. The house is warm and cozy. And the caravans are tidy and clean and are the perfect additional bedrooms for the extended family. The neighbourhood is quiet, and the neighbours are friendly. If you’re looking for a place that feels like a home away from home, look no further! 10/10 - highly recommend.

My parents, 10 year old son and I all had the best time at Karen and Craig’s place! They are the kindest people and the house is just perfect, right on a beautiful and private bay, great beach for a kid! Other beaches are close too, Ruakākā about 10 minute drive, plenty restaurants and stores to get food around. We would stay again for sure!

Amandas place was soooo amazing I would love to come again when I don’t have to attend a wedding and just enjoy the place! It’s so close to the beach and a short car ride to Orewa - love the character of the home and it was so comfortable !! Amanda was so lovely and responsive and accommodating and allowed me to check out later because I booked a late flight ! Would definitely recommend this place !!

Had a great stay there, good location, handy to get to Browns Bay and other locations in the north shore area, and in a nice street/area too. A nice house too, thanks.

Great accommodation for our team whilst working in the area. A home away from home!

This was a lovely place to stay with our family. The house was clean and tidy and it has a lovely view. The host was very responsive too.
