Luxury rentals in North Island

The Oke Beach House

Overlooking the striking blue waters of Hauai Bay, this home offers grand, modern spaces, privacy and restrained, tasteful decor. Start the day on the shaded back terrace, with long tables providing an ideal breakfast spot in the shadow of swaying trees. The home features an extensive bar seating area and plush living room, with a quiet beach, scenic walking trail and historic Russel town nearby. Oke Beach House is a shining example of considered, sophisticated design, with the home’s flat roof, straight lines and panoramic position announcing it as one of the finest options in the Bay of Islands. Drink in views of verdant islands and passing sailboats in the distance, with the home’s large central area being a natural congregation spot for large groups. Softly furnished bedrooms and refreshing, walk-in showers are ideal after an active day around the locality, while the home’s barbecue can quickly serve up fresh seafood and hearty vegetables for a terrace feast. Located in one of the North Island’s most picturesque areas, the home is just steps from the sandy beaches and tranquil water of both Hauai Bay and Oke Bay. The nearby Cape Brett Walkway is a fine option for an energizing hike, and offering clear views of the rugged forests and geography of the bay area. A short drive past local bays and over rolling hills will bring guests to the quaint village of Russell, complete with historic settlements, island cruises through the bay, and a nearby range of top-tier dining options.

2 x Luxe Mountain Villas. Hottub View of Whangaroa

Please note that these properties have open plans and privacy between bedrooms may be limited. Please speak with your Villa Specialist for more detail.  Combine 2 neighboring villas and invite even more friends to the party at this Harbor view hillside estate in New Zealand. Stargaze from the hot tubs on wrap-around decks, dine alfresco amongst lush greenery and catch up on some reading while sailboats navigate the harbor below. After a hike through the estate's private trails, check out nearby golf courses, wineries, and beaches.  Group gatherings are a breeze at Kauri Hill Estate, but when you'd like to sneak away with that special someone, that's when you'll truly appreciate the 2 separate houses. The kids will love watching movies and hanging out in the smaller lounges while the adults turn up the sound system in the main room. When the party inevitably moves to the terrace, fire up the grill and turn it into a barbeque.  Catch the big game on satellite television, and invite some friends, there's parking for 7 and a helipad. If you're playing host, the combined dinner seating for the estate is 14 inside and 14 alfresco. After dinner, let your inner mixologist shine and get crafty with a few cocktails in the kitchen. And, don't worry about the heat, both villas are fully air-conditioned.  Cycling enthusiasts and thrill seekers will want to test out the trails at Waitangi Forest. Whether you're into long distance or mountain biking, you'll find what you're looking for in the forest. Want to get out on the water? Go after some blue and Stripped Marlin in Whangaroa Harbor, fishing charters are readily available. Then, shoot at round at Kauri Cliffs, a favorite stop on the PGA Tour.  Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.

Taupo's Edge

Listen to the crackling of a wood burning fire as you gaze overtop the lush canopy leading down to Lake Taupo at this nature-loving villa in New Zealand. Sunbathe in the courtyard, kick back in a bean bag chair, and cool off in the alfresco shower. When you’re ready to explore, start by following a nearby bush track that winds through the forest and leads down to the lake.   Flow from inside to out as freely as the cool cross-breeze thanks to wall-length openings on nearly every perimeter wall. Under a vaulted-ceiling, the open concept main room is ready to host unforgettable family dinners, late nights with friends, and lazy afternoons. Sip cocktails and watch the sailboats from the balcony while the kids watch a movie in the Smart TV lounge or play soccer on the courtyard’s lawn. Stop by one of the local markets in Taupo and pick up some freshly caught lake fish for a barbeque. Dine at the alfresco set, letting the forest and lake views set the perfect tone. There are 3 parking spaces, a garage, and security cameras, so invite some new friends. When it’s late, move the party inside and let your inner mixologist get creative at the bar. Lake Taupo, Huka Falls, and Mount Tauhara are just a few of the natural wonders nearby, so bring your hiking boots. If there’s an angler in the group, boat rentals and fishing charters are available from Lakefun Taupo. While you’re out on the water, swing by Taupo Maori Carvings, a historic rockface in Acacia Bay. Then, head 11 kilometers into Taupo for a night on the town.  Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.

Cloud 9

The sea, boundless and blue, dominates this hilltop villa in the Bay of Islands. It fills the views from the sun-kissed deck and even finds its way indoors, in touches like the kitchen’s sea-green cabinets. Pack a picnic to take down to the beach a half-mile away, or book a helicopter or jet-ski ride for an adrenaline rush along with dramatic coastal scenery.   Follow a winding private road to the heights above the Bay of Oneroa—and your own outdoor living areas with a pool, hot tub, lounging and dining furniture, and a barbecue. There’s an espresso machine to fuel all your holiday adventures, and a smart TV and Wi-Fi to help you relax when you return from them.   This vacation rental is bordered on 3 sides by a wraparound deck, and a glass wall connects the al-fresco spaces with the indoor great room. Sunlight bounces off the honey-toned wood floors and whitewashed ceiling in the living and dining areas, and sea green cabinets are a soft touch in the fully equipped kitchen and breakfast bar.   This luxury property has one honeymoon-worthy master suite with a king bed, en-suite bathroom, and its own terrace. The other 2 bedrooms have a king bed and 2 twin beds, and share access to a hall bathroom, making them ideal for a family traveling with children.   From the villa’s perch, it’s a half-mile down the hill to the nearest beach. But your explorations should continue to the nearby town of Russell, where you can stop for lunch or dinner at waterfront cafes and restaurants housed in historic buildings, and Paihia, New Zealand’s first capital and the starting point for your choice of boat cruises, swims with dolphins, and fishing excursions going after the area’s famed black marlin.   Copyright © Luxury Retreats.

Makoha Retreat

Watch as sailboats navigate Tutukaka Harbour from the furnished balcony at this modern villa in northern New Zealand. Feel the cool sea breeze as you finish off your morning espresso. Then, head inside for a quick bite at the breakfast bar before heading out to explore New Zealand. A great place to snap a few pictures and work on your tan is Whale Bay Beach, named for its most famous visitors. Designed with the view in mind, Makoha Retreat’s floor-to-ceiling windows let you fully enjoy the harbour, especially in the unobstructed corner of the living room. An open-concept layout makes it easy to gather the group for dinner, casual hangouts, and even while someone is working away in the kitchen. After dinner, treat the group to a locally crafted bottle of wine in the terrace lounge. When the sun has set, get behind the wet bar and unleash your inner mixologist, turn up the sound system, or let the entertainer in your group show off on the piano. Later, when it cools off, move the party to the hot tub and melt any lingering stress away. In the morning, burn some of those calories off with the exercise equipment or take the kayak or stand-up paddleboard out for a spin. Feeling adventurous? It’s time to try scuba diving at the Poor Knights Islands. Forged by an ancient volcano, this series of islands is home to a vast array for sea creatures and corals, as well as the world’s largest sea cave, Rikoriko. Keep going to Sandy Bay and take a surfing lesson at one of the country’s most popular spots. If you’re not into surfing, the beach is perfect for picnics and horseback riding.
