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.

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. Beautifully maintained B&B, with great attention to details. We appreciated the electric blanket, the breakfast bar in our room and the little table right outside the room surrounded by lavender, it was the best setting for breakfast in the garden. The property also has a pool and a jacuzzi and it's close to the beach.

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.
