Holiday rentals near Ngaiotonga Scenic Reserve

So happy with our choice to stay at 49 Steps. A gorgeous location and property. Perfect for a weekend away with friends. We all wished we were staying longer to enjoy it more!

Excellent location for my elderly Parents 92 and 95.Short walk to the beach, town and great restaurants. The house was very functional for us all. Beautiful and clean with chocolates and milk in the fridge on arrival. A lovely touch thank you. Cooking and laundry facilities were great. The perfect holiday home to create many wonderful memories. Thank you and I would highly recommend this property if you are visiting the Bay of Islands.

Wow! What a view from the balcony! It was amazing to arrive in time to see the sun going down over the water. We were met by Jane who showed us around the property, recommended some trips for our short stay, places to eat and walks - all were excellent suggestions. The Loft was incredibly well kitted out - tea, coffee etc, a cold beer on arrival, bathroom lotions, games, books… The morning kayak trip was fitted into a busy itinerary & much enjoyed. Jane kept in regular contact and helped out when a medical visit was required. The most difficult thing about our stay was finding time to relax and enjoy the beautiful property whilst also seeing as much as we could of what the bay of islands has to offer. It was all wonderful!

Everything was great, would definitely book again.

We stayed at Top House from 5th to 7th Feb 2025 (Waitangi), we were absolutely blown away with the property. it was clean and immaculate. the hosts went the extra mile with ensuring the Air con was on, arriving to a nice cool property and some supplies, which was grealt appreciated! We highly recommend this property, we are planning future stays here.

We enjoyed all the amenities for our summer holiday stay! Even though the weather wasn’t great the home was beautiful and allowed a relaxing stay regardless. Great views, a bookshelf library and quick drives to local activities was excellent. Thank you!

Clean, convenient to everthing we needed, and the beds are very comfy.

Stunning apartment/ flat! So well-appointed. Fantastic hosts. Beautiful location, so peaceful. Only the sounds of fantails & bellbirds… Great start point for the Bay of Islands, with superb views. Thanks so much to Paul & Lee for sharing their stunning property.
