North Island house rentals

Host was very helpful, great communication, lots of thoughtful touches in the house, great location, walkable to beach and supermarket. Very comfortable stay.

Had a fabulous short stay at Ruru Whare. I wish I could have stayed longer. It was so peaceful sitting on the sunny deck relaxing and watching the tide go in and out, and Mt Karioi in the distance.

We loved the cottage. Lots of cool art and tools. Beds were comfortable. The owner was fantastic, very helpful.

Very lovely modern home with comfortable bed and good basic kitchen supplies. You do have to take all of your rubbish with you which was a bit surprising.

We had a lovely relaxing time in this property. It really felt like home and had everything you could need. The kitchen was very well stocked and the double basins in the bathroom were great. Lots of games and entertainment options were also available including kayaks and a pool table. But the best thing of all was the absolutely stunning views from the deck.

Motupipi is a hidden gem where you can completely relax without disturbance from other holiday makers. The accommodation is a step back in time …real Kiwiana. Very comfortable and well equipped for all your needs. Friendly hosts who welcomed us very warmly.Thank you Starr family , you have a gem waiting to be discovered by like minded people.

Very comfortable, clean and well appointed. Great amenities and a lovely place for Christmas. Beach and walking very accessible.

Stayed in this cottage and it did not disappoint! The scenic drive to the cottage was wonderful, rolling hills and very peaceful. Sarah, the owner was in contact and made getting there and into the property super easy. The The drive into the gated property with its tree canopy was beautiful. The cottage was gorgeous, with little momentos of Hobbiton which is the reason we stayed in Matamata, for the Hobbiton Tour and Beer Fest. The breakfast supplied was fantastic, we picked up some smoky bacon to enjoy with fresh eggs and toast. The bed was sublimely comfortable and the backyard was bathed in sun in the Morning. Would absolutely stay here again but this time for a few days longer to really enjoy the cottage and its facilities, and the peacefulness of its location.
