Cottage vacation rentals in Tauranga City Council

Sandy Feet Retreat was beautiful! It was spacious for our family of 5, free of clutter, with an intuitive layout, and nice finishings. The house had absolutely everything we needed. The guestbook was very helpful in orienting us to the house and location. Samantha was very responsive and friendly. The neighbourhood was quiet. The beds were incredibly comfortable. The hot tub was a nice bonus that our family enjoyed at the end of most days. The house is 5 minutes walk to the beach, 10 minutes to groceries and some great restaurants (we loved Thai Thani), and coffee (our favourite was Gather). We appreciated that this AirBnB had the option to compost and recycle. We would highly recommend Sandy Feet Retreat and we hope to return someday on a future trip to NZ.

Excellent stay and so close to everything. Easy check in and clear communication made everything seamless. Would recommend staying again. Only thing we did not use was the hot tub as we were unsure when it was cleaned or maintained last. All else was perfect!

Perfect little batch, very easy walk to the beach and a close bike ride or drive to shops, cafes, and handy to the Mount. We had everything we needed here and would stay again.

A stunning little nook in the middle of Tauranga, we felt like we were worlds away from the hustle with all its amenities right next door. Beautiful cottage, amazing bath & conservatory, alongside the chillest vibes imaginable! Thank you for this gem 😊

We couldn’t have picked a more perfect spot for our mini-moon! From the moment we arrived, we were in love—gorgeous flower gardens, dreamy hydrangeas, and the most charming vintage decor that was so our vibe. Every little detail was thoughtful and welcoming. Our small dog, Hazel, was just as happy as we were, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and exploring the garden. It felt like a cosy, romantic escape while still having all the comforts of home. We truly didn’t want to leave! Love, love, love—would stay again in a heartbeat! 💕✨🐾

We had a wonderful 10 days in this cosy cottage in The Mount. Entry and exit were extremely easy and Antony was very helpful letting us enter a few hours earlier than the stated time. The cottage was very clean and well equipped, we were able to cook several meals including a BBQ. The location was amazing, it took 5 minutes to walk to the nearest beach and then 20 minutes along the boardwalk to get down to the main beach at the base of the Mount. The beaches are lovely, so clean with easy swimming conditions and plenty of surfing if wanted. There are lots of good restaurant choices all within easy walking distance. We ventured out and did some waterfall hikes and a visit to Rotorua to the thermal pools. Antony was super easy to communicate with and helped make our vacation very relaxing and enjoyable.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed for our holiday. Beach is close by and amazing - went swimming daily. The local shops are a quick walk & have excellent food, coffee & ice cream (which the kids greatly enjoyed). The house was very comfy and clean with a great outside area. The neighbourhood is very quiet and family friendly. Would highly recommend this place for a quiet beach holiday!

A Peaceful and Authentic Farm Stay Experience with two great hosts either stunning night skies. Our stay at Sunday Country Cabin was truly magical! The peaceful countryside setting provided the perfect escape from city life. The cozy accommodations and warm hospitality from Gary & Michael made us feel right at home. Apart from the stunning views and absolute calmness, this place also provides a great flexibility to visit Rotorua and Tauranga both in a single day, which is of course a cherry on top. Nights were especially breathtaking—calm, quiet, and perfect for stargazing. With no city lights around, the sky lit up beautifully, making for an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a serene retreat with stunning night views, this is the place to be. We can’t wait to return!

This house is across the street from the beautiful, long, sand Papamoa beach! Also walking distance to restaurants and surf board rentals and lessons! we loved loved loved the house. It has beautiful old wood floors, a claw foot tub, and lots of antique details. It also has front and rear decks - wonderful for outside dining - we had breakfast in the front in the sun, and dinner at the nice table in the back. We will stay there again!

We loved staying at Frances’ place, great location and had everything we needed. Thanks!

A lovely cottage in the New Zealand countryside! Spacious with a cute balcony that had great views. Only a 13 minute drive to the city centre too!

Property always spotless and Lesley very helpful if there's anything you need. Highly recommended.

Lovely cottage to stay in. Correspondence with Amanda and Nigel, was fantastic. The cottage is exactly as in the photos. The view is amazing! Would love to stay again.

Delwyn's bach is so lovely. We felt right at home. The homemade bread and breakfast was delicious and a nice treat. The location is good, about 15 minutes away from the central Tauranga area - just tucked away enough to feel like a proper escape. Delwyn is very friendly, helpful and overall an amazing host.
