Baileys At The Beach is located in Whitianga and offers free WiFi and a free airport shuttle service. There is also a tour desk, barbecue facilities and a garden.

The property is a 15-minute drive from Shakespeare Cliff Scenic Historical Reserve and a 27-minute drive from Cooks Beach. It is a 31-minute drive from Hot Water Beach. An absolutely wonderful place at a beautiful sandy beach, very comfortable and very well maintained, we loved the place instantly! A short walking distance to restaurants and town center on a lovely promenade ( or a minute by car) it offers everything one can possibly want for a stay. We will visit again for a longer stay in the future! 😍😍

Overlooking the Bay of Islands and Te Haumi Beach, The Retreat Bay of Islands Paihia offers free Wi-Fi. The basic self-contained holiday accommodation boasts a private balcony and sea views.

Each studio and apartment includes a separate lounge area with satellite TV, sofa and armchairs. Heating, north-facing windows and a private bathroom with a shower are also provided. The view was beautiful and our host was outstanding!!!! We arrived ahead of the cyclone and when we told our host we had a flight to catch in Auckland she suggested we leave a couple days early to ensure we arrived on time. Although it was a HUGE disappointment to leave this beautiful place early we appreciated her wisdom.

Set in Kerikeri, 20 km from Opua Forest, Relax a Lodge offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool and a garden. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hostel provides garden views and a terrace. Wonderful property off a main road with a huge orange orchard, cute pigs, and adorable chickens (who follow you around!). Loved that there was always a dog or guests roaming around, but it was still extremely quiet and laid back. Klaus, the proprietor, is a fantastic host who loves to chat while he goes about his day. 10/10 experience, can’t wait to come back!!

Situated in Paraparaumu Beach in the Wellington region, with Paraparaumu Beach nearby, Tudor Manor Bed & Breakfast features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking, as well as access to a hot tub. This bed and breakfast has a garden. cozy and calm, the small airport nearby is absolutely not disturbing (there was no problem during sleeping times). I would choose this accommodation again, strong recommendation. Did not test the pool, but seems well maintained as well.

Situated 19 km from Opua Forest, Horse Shoe Manor offers 3-star accommodation in Paihia and has a garden. This beachfront property offers access to a pool table, free private parking and free WiFi. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. Large area with a great outdoors space. Definitely a great place to stay if you are visiting the bay of islands, which was one of my favorite places in New Zealand. We had one room with a lot of area, and another with very little area, so that was interesting.
