Holiday rentals near Manawaora Bay

Sue and James are delightful hosts who make you feel so welcome from the minute you arrive. Clendon House provides a unique historical stay in a truly beautiful location. This provided a brilliant opportunity to experience the winterless north and the endless outdoor activities and stunning islands nearby. Thank you for helping our family make so many wonderful memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

Stunning as usual been here a couple of times

Great place, lovely hosts, we had an excellent time.

Lovely spot

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!

This has been our second stay at Motupipi and the hosts are the best. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful place with us again. We have stayed in quite a few holiday homes and have never returned to the same place twice but we will definitely be back to Motupipi again. Thanks Hamish, Gaylene, Kathryn and Shakey for your fantastic hospitality. See you again next year.

This was our fourth visit in as may years to this accomodation. We have stayed in the upstairs apartment twice and the downstairs apartment twice, depending on group size. On this occasion we had both as came away with another family. The accomodation is so beautifully dressed, and everything is always in full working order and absolutely spotless. We love the location as it is nice and quiet and a perfect spot to explore the Bay of Islands from.

A very unique style of accommodation, a very well restored 1875 chapel converted to a compact accommodation space. Small kitchen, but adequate for your needs. Nice outdoor area overlooking two ponds, heaps of bird life. Overall, a great place to stay.
