Vacation rentals in Te Kao

What an amazing place this is. The views are incredible and the house itself is beautiful. Felt very lucky to stay here. Thank you Peter!

Quail's Cottage is beautifully curated and well appointed. Lots of thought has gone into making the cottage relaxing and comfortable from the beds and linen, to the comfy seating. We made the best fresh snapper and salads whilst there...all with locally grown ingredients. Monganui is easy to walk to with cute cafes and restaurants. Nearby Cooper's Beach has useful local shopping area. There are beautiful beaches nearby. Quail's Cottage has a great view of the local harbour...and it's dog friendly! It is our second stay at the Cottage, and will definitely be back. Thank you, Richard

From the moment we arrived, the experience felt like an adventure. The long, scenic driveway set the tone, leading up to a charming vintage-style house on a vast, lush property surrounded by paddocks and trees. The location is incredibly private—perfect for a peaceful retreat in the Far North. A lovely walking track takes you to the lake, adding to the property’s charm. The house is spacious and well-equipped, featuring a powerful shower, a dishwasher, and a free-to-use washing machine and dryer. There’s also an outdoor BBQ, WiFi, and a TV with Sky, Netflix, Disney+, and more. The kitchen has everything you need, including a great oven and stove. The beds are comfortable, and the home has all the essentials for a relaxing stay. To top it off, the host is fantastic—always available if needed but respectful of privacy.

A very nice house. Looking forward to staying here again next time

Thank you Karen for your welcome. Your bungalow was perfect for our honeymooning trip: secluded, quiet, very cocooning, in the middle of a beautiful garden. Thank you also for all the tips about the area and for the rest of our trip.

Amazing getaway, especially if you like being embedded in nature and enjoy a beautiful and private view of the bay. Shane and Lesley are fantastic and very considerate hosts, always available and responsive when needed, invisible and giving you full privacy otherwise. The views from the master bedroom and the living area are just unbelievable and we otherwise also felt right at home. We also enjoyed the herb and vegetable garden and had fresh lettuce, fresh tomatoes and peppers with amazing herbs. Thank you so much!

We have immensely enjoyed our stay here. There is plenty of room for the kids to play and of course a beautiful beach very close to the bach. A lovely place to enjoy the outdoors and spend time together. Also a good location to explore the Far North and come back to a tranquil place at the end of the day.

Our stay at Kathy’s place was wonderful. We had visited Cape Reinga and it was only an hours drive down. It was the perfect spot to stay after a busy day. Kathy was so welcoming and friendly, we felt right at home. Her spot is out of the way and very peaceful. Just what we needed. Thank you Kathy!
