Vacation rentals in Te Kao

Very nice place in a great location. Well equipped and lots of amenities. Lawrence was an exceptional host, communicated quickly and made a special effort on our part.

We felt highly welcome. Vanessa answered a question within minutes and helped out. She asked us if we need anything from the supermarket ( is 45 min. away). Well equipped apartment. Silence. Beach nearly just for us. Perfect. 😀

A very clean and tidy place with all amenities required for a comfortable stay. Good view from the house. Within walking distance of the town centre and the beach. Should have proper charging points by the beds though, that's the only suggestion.

It's an extremely well equipped house, not very private due to close proximity of neighbours. 4Square at Coopers Bay (15 min drive) is best for supplies; get stocked up on the drive in

Amazing stay with Malcolm and Penelope, breath-taking views with a short trip into town for lovely food and drink. What more can you ask for!

A great find! - Accommodation location and views were amazing, especially the sunsets over the bay. Everything you would need is facilitated at the Bach, private and secluded. Loved the bay couch area, where you can sit and relax with the amazing views. Enough seating to soak up the sun during the day, with three 'picnic' benches to sit at as the sun moves during the day. Property is on tank water, which wasn't an issue, beds were comfortable, where Antony set up the second bed on request at short notice. Long Beach is a great safe beach to visit as well as historic Russell with day trips from the wharf. Heard kiwis most evenings, which was great to experience. Loved the Bach - would recommend to anyone. 5 stars!!

Adelle should be a Gold Star Superhost! She has a lovely Airbnb in a beautiful setting & couldn’t be more helpful. She generously provides many breakfast items in a very well stocked kitchen. Nothing is too much trouble & she and Ron welcomed us with kind & generous hearts. The location is ideal for outdoor lovers.

Another magical stay at Woodie’s Retreat. The waterfront location is so special, and driving on the beach to get there adds a bit of excitement. The house (and especially the kitchen) is very well equipped. The kayaks and paddle boards are a nice touch too. Easy access to the ferry and just a few minutes to Russell. Dave is a super host and we will gladly come back again.

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.
