Find family rentals near 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!

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!

If you're looking for a quintessential waterfront kiwi bach experience in the sheltered Bay of Islands, this is your place! What's not to love about this spot... the home was a beautiful balance of modern living and classic bach life... everything you need, and nothing you don't. We descended here for a family celebration (12 of us) and it was super comfortable with lots of space for everyone. It's incredibly private, in part thanks to the stunning location, and also the beach access (make sure you check the tides so you don't try and arrive an hour or so either side of high tide) :) We made good use of the kayaks, paddle boards and complimentary beach towels (the water is literally on your doorstep). Lots of fridge space and a great kitchen made home catering easy and Dave (our host) was a real gem. We definitely hope to be back one day!

Very well equipped and clean.

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.

Tiromoana was just perfect for our BOI holiday. The views are simply amazing. The house is very comfortable and clean. Plenty of room for our family of 4. And so close to the beach. Loved the board games and the beach towels were awesome. Russell is a pretty special place with lovely safe beaches and so much to do on the water. Great memories made. Would totally recommend Tiromoana. Thanks for sharing this wee spot in paradise with us :)

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.

Excellent accommodation loved it
