Vacation rentals in Te Kao

We really enjoyed our stay. It is a beautiful apartment with fantastic views. It was ideal for the five of us with a pleasant kitchen and dining room and comfortable decking area. It was well located with just a 10 minute walk to the walking path to Paihia or the car ferry to Okiato. A very nice spot.

Wendy's place was lovely! Clean, comfortable and well stocked. Communication was great, check in instructions very clear and easy to follow. The view was amazing!! A great central location to explore the Bay of Islands. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again :)

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. 😀

The place was absolutely great for what we needed. Cailee and Lou were both so accommodating when we had to change the reservation at the last minute because of illness. Lou also made a store run to pick up a few groceries when we were to sick to go ourselves. Awesome place! Awesome hosts!

Paihia is an excellent place to stay with lots to do. The property is within walking distance of all attractions, activities and restaurants, the car stayed in the garage our whole stay. The property was perfect, nice views, well equipped and very clean and tidy. We enjoyed our stay

Great place to stay fully fenced section great for the kids to run around

A beautiful cosy home that accommodated for all our needs. We would definitely book here again!

This is great place and should be considered if you want to be right near the beach and want the views. Vittoria is excellent at accommodating and was very good at communications.

Felt like a 5 star resort. Everything you may need and more, including a kayak and binoculars. Even monogrammed bathrobes. All the utensils and equipment that you may want to cook. (Snacks and breakfast items too.). Quiet. Peaceful. Stunning view. Adelle was very friendly, helpful and available for any questions. We’d love to return.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property! The stunning views and serene atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop for our family to spend quality time together over the Christmas period. We enjoyed plenty of fishing, and the amenities for kayaking and paddle boarding were fantastic. Our dog had a blast too, making friends with Fur. The host was wonderful, checking in to ensure we had everything we needed. Overall, it was a truly memorable experience. Highly recommend!

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.
