Vacation house rentals in Auckland

“Perfect getaway spot! Really homely apartment and so thoughtfully prepared (beach towels/mat, fresh milk, coffee, snacks, wine, water, beer). Location was perfect and the hosts could not have been more welcoming. Can’t wait to return! Everything we were looking for :)”

“The greatest fastest responsive team, Mike and Jackie are awesome as, frrom JUST CABINS, RODNEY WAITAKERE area. Thank you both heaps for catering to our cabin needs so fast and delivered within a day after confirmation. Appreciate all your efforts and great promos too! xxx”

“This was our first time at Waiheke Island we loved every day we stayed. One O One cabins was beautiful & peaceful the cabin was equipped with all you needed clean and modern. A sunny spot listening to the Tui each morning. Our only tip would be, be aware of all steps as it is a climb if you struggle with going up and down. Thank you for an amazing stay.”

“We loved our stay. The house was immaculate and well organised with everything we needed. House instructions were clear and communication was prompt. Will definitely use StayWaiheke again, thank you!”

“We celebrated a weekend of our honeymoon at the Boatshed Hotel and we fell in love. Jonathon and his team made us feel like we were the only guests at the hotel. From picking us up at the ferry, giving us charcuterie and wine upon welcoming us into the lobby, and spending every meal overlooking the ocean. We will be back and cannot talk higher about our experience at the Boatshed it was heaven on earth.”

“The building of our holiday was very enjoyable and was enhanced by Danielle's knowledge and experience. Our holiday was fantastic with free time as well as pre-booked activities, all of which worked like clockwork. Unfortunately we had a medical emergency during our time in Australia and I would particularly like to thank Jaydene for her help and support to Heather while I was in hospital. It was a great help to her during a particularly stressful time. I have used other travel companies in the past but the experience with First Light Travel was better than any of the others. I have no hesitation recommending them to others.”

“We need a place in a hurry due to a death in the family, and we are so glad we found the Silverdale Garden Stay. Lovely rooms and beautiful surrounds. Close to everything you need. The hosts, Selwyn and Dellis, are very accommodating and flexible. Highly recommended.”

“Great place to stay. Kate was a lovely host. The room with a balcony is beautiful and facilities are super clean and tidy. Plenty of space in the kitchen and breakfast provided. I'd definitely stay again!”

“Amazing view one of the best look out spot on Waiheke island. Very spacious and cozy interior perfect for wedding stay or few families and friends. There is walking track nearby so can enjoy Waiheke best view coastal walk as well.”

“We had a fantastic stay at a property in Auckland managed by Margay Property Management. The house was perfect for our needs and even exceeded our expectations. Lovely decor, very warm and well stocked. The property was very safe and secure. It was easy to locate and access. The information provided was excellent and the property managers were very responsive when we had questions. We had a very comfortable stay and will certainly try and stay here again when we are next travelling to Auckland.”

“Bonita, at Zingela, is fantastic at what she does. She found our tenants really quickly, organised the contract for us and now manages any issues that arise in a smooth, efficient and friendly way. I’ve recommended her to 5 other friends who are all happily renting out their places with her and would strongly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trouble free, high end property manager.”

“Views from the deck were amazing The house was very well equipped from the great gas BBQ & outdoor furniture to the kitchen utensils, bed linen & towels The location was very handy for the town despite the very steep uphill climb on the way back! Highly recommended”

“Wow...love the design of the house, very modern and spacious. Big glass windows to catch the sun from every angle and hear the birds singing de early morning which is so peaceful € This place is beyond its listing, extremely clean with white linen and extra towels, which is so huget, feels like home. Freshness and warmth runs through the house. It's a perfect place to relax and enjoy after a long days hassle. It's 5-10 mins away from Sylvia Park which is so handy.”

“This place is so great it's hard to describe. Amazing location, with a fantastic view of Auckland in the distance. Very calm, very quiet, and to wake up with that view in the mornings is just amazing. I would recommend this to any couple wanting a romantic and relaxing getaway. Plus, Waikehe island is a fantastic place in general, a minor tropical paradise. Don't miss renting a car and driving around the island to visit the wineries.”

“We had a truly wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Auckland. The location is perfect – set in a lovely, peaceful area with absolutely stunning views of the sea, boats, and the bridge. The house itself is stylish, full of light, and thoughtfully designed. It felt very comfortable and had everything we needed – from a fully equipped kitchen to cozy spaces to relax. We especially appreciated the little touches like having milk in the fridge on arrival – such a kind and welcoming gesture, as well as the cot provided for our kid, which was important for us. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic stay in Auckland!”

“Four women in our early 60s, we've been friends for 40 years. One living overseas, one in the South Island, two in Auckland, we catch up for a weekend once every 18 months or so. We had the most wonderful time at Blue Tides. It was perfect accommodation for us. We could spread out, each had a room of our own, views to die for, and everything we needed. Highly recommend!”

“This was our second stay in the villas. We really like the somewhat remote location (but not too remote), the quiet and the beautiful view from the villas. On clear nights, the sky is incredibly as there are not many other locations around. There are lots of birds to watch, and some are not even very shy. The villas are well equipped, nicely decorated and we appreciated the complimentary bottle of sparkling wine in the fridge during our current stay. The beds are very comfortable and the bathroom is spacious and provides wonderful bathroom products. We would definitely choose this location again. There are two things that might be worth improving: 1. The pool is always covered to avoid having to deal with falling leaves in the water. You have to uncover it any time you want to use it and cover it again after use. As a guest, this does not come across as very welcoming and it would be more convenient if someone to opened it in the morning and covered it at night. 2. If you stay for more than one or two nights, it would be nice if someone would exchange towels or bring extra towels and take out the trash. We did not expect that there was no service at all during our stay and this should be communicated more clearly.”

“My daughter and I chose to stay with Urban Butler during our recent trip to Auckland. The Apartment far exceeded our expectations, in fact we wished we were staying another night just to enjoy the accommodation for longer! The step by step instructions provided by Jon meant everything was hassle free. We would definitely book again in a heart beat. Highly recommended to all.”

“We rented a property for three weeks while our house was being renovated. It was a lovely wee home that met all our needs, was in a great location and was well appointed. The property managers were very responsive and friendly and I would absolutely recommend this company!”

“If speed was a person it would be the little pocket rocket Leona who we now have the delight of calling our property manager (check back in soon lol) seriously though she was lovely upon viewing the property we were interested in and that same day doing checks and shortlisting people so we didn’t just have to twiddle our thumbs and wait! Amazing service Leona thank you”

“We arrived today from Taupō and were lucky to have our morning coffee at Midpoint. Their welcome was wonderful and warm. We enjoyed an absolutely amazing coffee. Thank you all so much — great job, team! Stay awesome!”

“Moving house is extremely stressful, so I was amazed at how smoothly and easily everything went! Lucas was an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout the whole rental process — from the initial viewing to signing the paperwork. His communication was clear, prompt, and genuinely thoughtful. He made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. It’s clear he cares about doing a great job, and I really appreciated the professional yet personal touch. The apm systems also seem really efficient — everything from the application to the lease signing was straightforward and well organised. Leanne, the Property Manager, has also been incredibly kind, professional, and responsive. Highly recommend the apm team for a smooth, supportive, and well-run rental experience!”

“After an initial rocky start with noisy neighbours, the hotel reception shifted me to a different floor. The old room and the new room were identical. Both of them were great and quite clean maybe 9/10. The bed was comfortable, also clean and medium firmness, which I liked. Shower pressure in both rooms were good. Generally, I think this is a good place to stay if you need to be on Auckland's North Shore. Interactions with reception and housekeeping were always pleasant. There were very, very minor issues like the kettle flap was broken, the dryer ran extremely loudly. I was a little embarrassed to use the dryer at night due to the noise. The towels were thin and could be thicker.”

“We had our original camp site which was booked a year in advance cancelled last minute for labour weekend due to council pest spraying. After years of planning our family camp, we were desperate to seek urgent accommodation for our large family (100+). I phoned the Clark’s beach holiday park the week of labour weekend and the owners were Amazing! They heard our cries, they catered to our last minute request and had done their best to cater to all our needs and they delivered - truely angels! Thank you so much for your kind hospitality ❤️”

“I haven't been there in so long, since 1990ish but my childhood memories of your park were so awesome, we were safe to run round free and unsupervised in our ever expanding packs, (tho it was harder to injure 80's children) so many families in the summer and everyone, staff and patrons were all lovely and courteous. There was tree swings, n family movies at night played on giant projector screens that all the kids watched from duvet+ pillow forts on a grass bank before bed. The prickles were my least favorite thing, but we stayed in our giant tyre tube's in the creek most of the day. I love so much the refusal to engage nasty insult comments. Those 30 yr old memories are still probably my best n happiest of camping as a kid. I hope the legacy review isn't out of place.”

“We initially rented through Be My Guest and found the team to be brilliant to deal with. We have since bought a property and BMG are managing it for us. They are professional, attentive and a pleasure to deal with. Would hight recommend on both accounts, thank you very much Miranda and the Be My Guest Team.”

“Nice location, friendly staff. They had all the amenities we needed for our stay. 5min walk from Takapuna’s main areas and beach. Highly recommend!”

“We stayed here in December, 2022. The accommodation was clean & located right at the harbour. Downstairs was a host of fine restaurants and night life. Close to the heart of the city.”

“Look by any means this place is not super flash but I think it’s seriously good value. I stayed for 2 nights at $160 a night in the run up to Xmas. Great location, great price and a great big room with a super comfy bed. Also used the pool which was all ok. Remember to take your room towel as the day I was there none were provided. Lastly check in and staff were all good. Remember people it’s $160 NZD for a massive room in the middle of the city.”
