Find Places to Stay in Opua on Airbnb

it was the great experience!

Sharon and Yarn are very kind hosts. I really enjoyed my stay at there place! It is very close to Paihia and the room is very tidy. I would come back anytime!

Sharon & Yarn were amazing hosts. The room was great. The location was perfect and idyllic. I was so taken back and the sunsets are beautiful. When I'm back, I'll be staying with them again.

We really enjoyed the warm hospitality and lovely place at Sharon and Yarn's. We highly recommend it.

Sharon and Yarn are a really friendly couple, unfortunately we did not get to spend as much time with them as we would have liked as we had an early start. they were both very hospitable and knowledgeable about the local area. Also the view from the balcony is lovely. Certainly recommended!

This was a very private and self contained unit that suited us exactly. The host was friendly and accommodating, and provided us with the privacy we needed. Location was great.

Sharon and Yarn have an incredible property. You have a private entrance to your room from the deck, kind of like a motel. The room is good size and has an en-suite. Bed was comfy. They have a small fridge and table and chairs and provide tea, coffee, milk, and light refreshments. Very nice touches to an already incredible room. Also cool to see them feed the quails twice a day!

Great place to stay, close to centre while having complete privacy.

Great location only short drive to Paihia. Outstanding views and super comfortable bed.

We spent two nights with Marg and Rhys in their beautiful and stylish “Harbor View Cottage Bay of Islands”. The studio promises what the ad shows. It is well located and was squeaky clean. Rhys received us warmly and informed us very well. We felt very comfortable, so we can highly recommend this accommodation.

We loved our stay! Spectacular views from the deck. Very comfy bed, and everything was sparkling clean.

Beautiful spot in the bay of islands. Fantastic view and lovely clean self contained cottage.

The cottage is wonderful, clean, lovely decorated (in- and outside), very cozy and has a fantastic view. We felt very well. The location is great. We met Marg, she is a very nice and friendly host, easy to communicate. Highly recommended

This is a beautiful property with stunning views from the balcony. The hosts were there to help but very respectful of our privacy which was important to us. The yummy biscotti was a nice touch. You definitely need to be in a car to stay at this property as the nearest restaurants and cafes are not exactly walkable. However with a car this place is very conveniently located for paihia as well as Russell. Would highly recommend this property.

Very peaceful, relaxing place to stay. Bed is extremely comfortable. Communication excellent. Hope to be back. Thanks

Unique cabin in an amazing and beautiful location. Comfy bed!

Great place to stay! Great views of the bay with access to the observation deck, Opua and Paihia. (The latter, however, easier to reach by car) the property is in perfect condition, sparkling clean and well equipped! Our stay was just great. There are many offers around the Bay and Russel. We particularly liked the sailing tour! The restaurants and shopping in Paihia are excellent.

Such a cute space, loved the bathroom decor! Easy to come and go as we pleased and the hosts respected our privacy. So nice to get away to a nice quiet relaxing spot with a beautiful view from the deck, exactly what we needed before heading back to the busy city

Great stay, friendly hosts, bright and clean home in a very peaceful area. Highly recommendable!

The most gorgeous little cottage to stay in! Small but beautiful inside and out, perfect for a nature loving couple. Cottage is right next to host house so not overly private especially the deck area however we loved our stay here, loved the claw foot bath, the view from the bed and having dinner out on the deck. Location is great, so easy to get to Paihia and Russell. Thanks to Charles for the tips of what beaches to visit during our stay. They were stunning.

The photos don’t do this place justice. It’s beautifully located, presented and maintained. Robyn is keen to help and sets out to make sure your stay is comfortable. Probably the most amazing bed we’ve ever had in an Air BnB. There are plenty of small touches that make this place feel homely. It’s central to different walks around the bays and an easy drive to larger towns. Or you could pass your holiday just chilling out on the lovely Bush surrounded verandah. Thanks for a wonderful few nights

Amazing place with great hosts. We were given a basket of toys for our toddler to play with and he was well entertained for the duration of our stay.

Clean and airy space with lots of beautiful wood. Claw foot tub was great as was the little private deck overlooking the water. Would come back / recommend this place to others. It was a treat to get to stay here.

The house is magnificent. It is very tastefully decorated. The location is ideal. It is necessary to have a car. Charles welcomed us very warmly. A perfect address that I recommend.

Really lovely.place to stay, very peaceful and quiet. It's a five minute drive into town so convenient if you want to join a tour or something. We went on a boat trip to the Hole in the Rock and also took the ferry over to Russell. The Treaty House and museum is fabulous, we went twice as your ticket lasts two days.

A wonderful, well equipped Airbnb set in an idyllic peaceful setting with a very helpful host. We'd love to revisit and stay longer next time.

An excellent well equipped apartment set in lush beautiful grounds close to the marina. I thoroughly recommend.

Awesome place! All you need, great location to start longer walks, very cosy. We had a very relaxing time. Lovely host!

Fantastic home , very quirky, amazing tropical garden and Joan was fantastic

Windermere was totally delightful. The leafy surroundings were not only very appealing but they also afforded complete privacy. Every amenity that was needed was there and Joan was an extremely warm and informative host. We could have stayed there for much longer. Than you Joan.

Originally planned on spending two nights but could only stay one night. Very nice location and accommodation. Was as advertised.

This was hands down our favourite place we have stayed in in New Zealand. The location and setting was simply superb. The apartment has everything you needed and more. Joan was a wonderful woman to have met and we have many fond memories of our time here. She recommended some amazing places to visit and was so helpful and welcoming. We stayed here for a week, exploring around the Bay of Islands. It was the perfect base. With Pahia a short drive away with many restaurants and a lovely beach and harbour. There are some wonderful walks around here as well.

Wonderful place with a great host! Jans place is very clean and exactly as pictured. Jan herself is a gracious host and easy to communicate with. You won't regret staying here.

A secret hideaway from the world with a perfect view. Exceptional care from the host Jan, made me feel very welcome.

Beautiful place, lovely welcoming hostess. A great place to stay 😎

Place. Host. Accommodation. Communication: There is simply just one word: PERFECT !!!!

Lovely little heaven to spend time away from home .Unit got everything you need,lovely little touches inside and outside,amazing view from a shaded deck and a wonderful host . Will definitely come back !!!

If you’re staying around Paihia and your lucky enough to stay with Jan, you won’t regret it. Lovely location in the hills, but the real highlight is the hostess.

A very cosy, and quiet place with a beautiful view over Paihia Bay. ...and Jan was an absolutely charming host.

A lovely place to stay within walking distance of Paihia if fit.

I enjoyed my stay at Andrea‘s place and the environment very very much. To have a chatty and humourus host was really pleasant. I‘m thankful for the good advises and extended my beautiful stay. Thanks a lot and all the best to my name twin!

Really enjoyed the place. Andrea was extremely friendly and helpful. Everything looked great and so handy to the car ferry. Can't recommend highly enough 🙂

Great views across the bay. Andrea is the perfect hostess. Would recommend a stay here.

What a lovely place to stay. It was our first stop after 48 hours of continuous travel from the UK. Our three nights at Ferry Landings were relaxing and enabled us to explore the Russell area and visit Waitangi. There is a beautiful view from the balcony and Andrea is an engaging and very helpful host.

Very nice location with a great view. Andrea is very easy going and is very insightful about the area.

Amazing view, comfortable place in a very convenient location 8min drive from downtown Russell.

Andrea is a super helpful host and has an amazing place with a stunning view over the water. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Fabulous vewis and great place to base yourself for a few days in all the Bay of islands have to offer

A beautiful place with all essential amenities. Located in a quiet street with a beautiful view. We loved our time in Paihia, checking out The Bay of Islands and Cape Reigna.

Iain and Janet’s place was clean and well equipped with lots of utensils allowing us to cook during our stay. The view from the accommodation was beautiful and it was situated a short but hilly drive from the centre of town. Iain and Janet has great communication and were happy to assist us when needed.

Would stay again, beautiful view, very clean, great hosts

Great time in Paihia, the apartment was very clean and bed was so confortable. Janet and Iain were very helpful and suggested us several activities and restaurants. Modern washroom with large shower was appreciated.

Ian and Janet’s place was fantastic! I would have loved to have stayed longer. They were both great hosts, the place was spotless, the bed was comfy, and of course it’s in Paihia, so great location! I totally recommend!! A+++

A charming stylish well equipped apartment , Iain and Janet were wonderful hosts

A really lovely place with wonderful, responsive hosts. Great view across the Harbour of Russell and an easy drive into Paihia. The apartment is large with lots of nice touches, and it has everything we needed to self cater. Highly recommended.

Iain and Janet's place is just wonderful with everything you need to have a wonderful stay in a totally beautiful place. I slept so well as it is lovely and peaceful with no road noise. The apartment has everything you need. Iain and Janet are just lovely so genuinely friendly and accommodating. So looking forward to staying with them again next time Im back in Paihia

Far from the busy Paihia still close to everything. Terry has an excellent knowledge of the region and will be pleased to share it with you. Great place to stay.

Great location, easy access to many great eating options. Terry’s place is very clean and comfortable with everything you need including some local tips

We slept one night at Terry's place. It was perfect and Terry is super nice, thank you !

Excellent stay for a family of 5. Very clean and spacious space. 5 minute drive to Paihia & 1 minute to Russell ferry terminal. Terry is one of the most genuine and generous hosts I have come across, true Kiwi hospitality that is getting rare to find these days. If you need to know or do anything in and around the Bay of Islands he’s a wealth if information. We will surely be back and can’t thank you enough.

Terry went above and beyond to make us comfortable, to recommend great things to see, and was so friendly and generous. He even offered to grill our burgers for us when it was raining outside! I highly recommend it!

Great spot, convenient for the Twin Coast cycle ride. Good parking

Terry and Jocelyn's place is perfectly situated for exploring Paihia and the Bay of Islands. It was a very comfortable space, with two good size double rooms. The kitchen had all the necessities too. Terry and Jocelyn themselves were so friendly and welcoming (we particularly appreciated the delicious cake!). Terry has a lot of knowledge about the area and tips about what to do and see. Lovely place to stay!

This was THE best stop we had on our honeymoon in NZ! The location is amazing, place was so clean and the special touches around the house were much appreciated. Terry made us feel so welcomed and he gave so much advice for where to go and what to do. Highly recommend this spot!

Kathleen was very helpful. The accommodations were great - very clean, comfortable and quiet. Easy to recommend.

You could not have a better host and a lovely place to stay

Amazing location and great hospitality! comfy bed and very nice bathroom!

We had a great stay at Kathleen’s place! The location of the house is great, just a little off the main road, but in the quiet neighbourhood. The house was sparkling clean with amazing touches. There was even a private kitchenette for us with our own fridge. The room was very comfortable and the view from the balcony was unbelievable- shame that we stayed there only for one night. Kathleen is a great host and it was such a pleasure meeting her. We would highly recommend staying here.

Super nice Airbnb!! We loved the beautiful view and terrace of our room!! Highly recommend this Airbnb, much more nicer than in Paihia center.

A wonderful place to stay. Kathleen’s place is very stylish with a fantastic view. She also gave us great local tips! Would definitely stay here again.

Kathleen is very nice person and her house is very well located on the hill with beautiful view from the terrace. The guest room has enough privacy and it is cozy and comfortable. Kathleen’s place is definitely good choice for staying in this area.

Kathleens place is lovely. Very clean and modern and Kathleen was very welcoming and helpful during our short stay. Would recommend :)

We loved our stay at Russell's. The place was spotlessly clean & well equipped. Russell was great at communicating, and full of suggestions & knowledge for the local area. We also loved that we could take our dog, and he was welcomed whole-heartedly by Russell. Thanks for such a nice spot to stay for the weekend!

A surprising setting at first, but we soon very much in this rustic accommodation. We had a great week exploring the surrounding area. Russell is an exceptional person by his reception. He gave us 2 bikes to go to Kawakawa, very nice walk. Thank you so much !

Russell is a very kind host and the cottage is lovely. My partner, our small dog and I stayed for seven nights and loved the easy access to Russell, Paihia and other parts of the beautiful Far North! Our main recommendation to other guests is to make sure you have plenty of insect repellent and maybe some citronella candles because there are quite a few mosquitoes who hang around, and in, the cottage at night (a mosquito net is provided for the bed but there aren't fly screens over the windows so if you keep them open to cool the cottage down as we did, mozzies will come in). Overall, very affordable accommodation nestled in native bush, close to everything in Paihia (10min by car) with a very hospitable and kind host.

Lovely self contained cottage with everything you need located in a quiet bush setting. Kauri bush walk near by and short drive up to Paihia and Treaty grounds. Very helpful and friendly host.

Russell is so helpful and interesting. Handy location outside of Paihia. Great for our dog to be able to come with us

Russell was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the local area. He went the extra mile and advised us of a boat trip to take (which made the trip the Paihia) and even dropped us up the road to a hike location. The cottage was peaceful and perfect for our 2 day getaway. Would definitely recommend.

Russell was such an amazing host, who cared about us a lot and also let our dog skip stay, who enjoyed himself a lot. The accommodation is super cute and totally gives you time to relax and enjoy. Even if it was raining for pretty much the whole 2 days we didn't get Cabin fever, there was enough to explore around 😊

We came to love the peaceful quiet and birdsong at Russell’s. It was rustic as advertised but comfortable. Russell was responsive to our needs and a font of local information and suggestions for activity.

Brilliant home, loads of space and very conducive to relaxing. Area is outstanding and we would have no hesitation recommending.

Great space and hospitality - surrounded by nature but walking distance to Marina and ferry and short drive to many restaurants and walks. The two bedroom two bathroom apartment with indoor cosy living room and TV and fully stocked kitchen and outdoor seating area has everything you could need- Cam’s hospitality and helpfulness made our 9 day stay very special! The many special touches, wine coffee and cookies and breakfast cereals made us feel at home. The Nz bird sound of NZ pigeon and tui right from the porch was superbe. To complete our stay we spend a great day sailing the bay of islands and saw penguins and orcas during our trip. We would love to come again!!!

The location of the house was great, like in the "rainforest". House equipped with everything you need. We used the 2-sided terrace every day (mosquito protection required).

Lovely extra touches such as cereals, biscuits and wine.

We had a great time staying at Cam’s place. It was in a great position for us to explore the area - lovely bike rides and walking tracks so close by to the accommodation, bikes even provided by host. The accommodation itself could not have been more comfortable, even fresh fruit was provided from the many trees owned by Cam. There was a lovely bush setting surrounding the outdoor decks with the marina seen between the trees. I would recommend to anybody this accommodation.

Perfect place!

An excellent airbnb. Very well appointed with many extra thoughtful touches - fresh fruit from the gardens and cold beer in the fridge! Cam was an excellent host

Perfect ! I recommend this rental It is Joli the perfect welcome well located to visit this magnificent region!

What a lovely place to stay. Spotlessly clean, everything you need down to towels for the beach. A few extra touches like a bowl of fruit, snacks and fizz in the fridge. Jerry was very helpful about explaining local trips, places to eat etc. The hot tub in the garden was amazing and beautiful views whilst in it. I cannot fault this place and would recommend to anyone

We loved our stay at Jerry and Sian’s place. It had everything we need plus a few extra things we weren’t expecting. The hot tub is amazing with an awesome view. Jerry was a fantastic host with excellent local knowledge and handy maps and directions. Highly recommend this place to anyone, the perfect getaway.

Beautiful veiws from a lovely back yard setting. Hot tub/spa was great. Really enjoyed our stay Well worth it Thanks

Fabulous outdoor area. We enjoyed cooking on the bbq and eating outdoors with a view. Very clean, comfortable interior. So many unexpected extras like fruit which were much appreciated. Jerry is such a great host. Very helpful.

We stayed here for 3 nights for a girls getaway. The spa and outdoor deck is a real treat, we enjoyed breakfast out there every morning with the muesli, milk and fruit provided. There are a lot of little extra touches at this airbnb which is something you don't see often (i.e they had a bottle of sparkling water and chilled filtered water ready to go). Really nice modern bathroom with a rain shower. We had a car with us and it was so easy to jump on the car ferry to Russell for the day (only 5 min drive to the ferry) and into town it's a very short trip too. Would definitely recommend Jerry's place!

Great Host, wonderful location with an awesome view. Super clean and well appointed place.

Jerry's appartement is for sure beyond your expectations so just book it when you can.

Jerry’s place has all the personal touches and more you could wish for. Such a beautiful & relaxing setting. It was the perfect place to stay for our family of 4 with 2 young kids. The hot tub was a bonus!

This was a great place and lovely location. The hosts were very friendly and they have a lovely garden! The fridge had milk, which was sweet. I’d recommend it!

Space was exactly as advertised, and very clean. Location is excellent - up on a ridge a few minutes from "downtown" Paihia. Yarn was waiting for us on arrival and answered many questions.

It was perfect for me to stay a few nights while our boat at the nearby Opua Marina was having some messy boat work done. Also would be convenient to go to Paihia for any needs.

Great location and stay for Bay of Islands adventures.

We enjoyed our stay, the room was very clean and we had enough space for three persons. They were very nice and caring, thank you :)

Great private self contained room with own bathroom/shower. Lovely environment as well. Definitely would stay again. :)

A very comfortable stay in a well equipped and comfortable room. It had everything you would need and would be ideal for a small family as it had three beds in it . At the time of my visit temperatures were near 30 and the ceiling fan and fridge were the most used amenities. There is ample off street parking and a deck with chairs to sit on. The house is about ten minutes from the town by car A comfortable and quiet place to stay.

Great place, wonderful stay with amazing hosts. The views are spectacular, Sharon & Yarn were warm and offered some home remedies as my friend was sick durning our stay.

What an amazing stay, all of the special touches were so lovely. It is such a beautiful place in a great location for exploring. Terry is a fountain of local knowledge. We will definitely be back for longer next time.

Terry was the perfect AirBnb host and could not have been more helpful. The apartment was spacious and very well stocked with condiments for cooking, games, and shower essentials. They were also able to provide a travel cot for us which was perfect for our 5 month old Daughter. Terry is knowledgeable on local attractions and even made us cake on our arrival which was delicious. And if you have never seen the moon through a telescope, like me... just ask Terry and I’m sure he will lend you his telescope as we enjoyed a fabulous sight of a full moon.

This was a lovely place to stay, plenty of room, gorgeous view, really delightful!

Great place to stay need at least 3 days so much to see

Terry is an encyclopedia of knowledge around local places of interest. Terry went above and beyond what we expected of an Airbnb host; a true gentleman.

Great place to stay. Terry is an absolute gem of a man. Could not be more helpful. Full of good stories. No better way to get a local feel for the area. Highly recommend

The unit was spotless, well equipped, in a great location and exceeded all of our expectations. We were a group of 3 mature cyclists intent on cycling the Coast to Coast trail. Terry was always there to help; from helping us relocate our vehicle to the end of the track to picking up one of the bikes at the end of the track. Five star service at a very reasonable price. Our only regret was not asking Terry to help us plan our visit/cycle trip. In hindsight, we would have stayed longer, 2 nights, taken the ferry with our bikes over to Russell, skipped the first 35 kms (day) of the trail, had Terry shuttle us over to Kaikohe for the second section of the trail, and spent a third day at the Horeke end of the trail exploring Rawhia. The trail is well marked but the first day is not very interesting. Definitely cycle the trail from the east to the west to avoid the major uphills on the Horeke end of the trail. Nothing is too much trouble for Terry. If he doesn’t know something he will find out the answer to your questions. He is dedicated to his guests and has lots of helpful suggestions and contacts in the area. Sincere thanks.

Lovely hosts, huge apartment, spotlessly clean. Just perfect. We would always recommend Terry's place.

The studio is very well equipped with everything you need and very clean! Ruth is very kind and helpful!

We spent 7 nights in Tardis Studio. It was squeaky clean and well thought out. The bed was comfortable and all quality linens and towels were provided. The kitchen was wonderfully appointed with everything we needed to cook and have meals in. We enjoyed the nice provisions of coffee, tea, fresh milk upon arrival and tomatoes from their garden. Their location is close to local attractions in Opua, Paihia and by ferry to Russell. The internet connection was good. Ruth and Trev were really friendly and attentive hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would give more stars if we could! We highly recommend a stay and will certainly stay again if we pass back through this area!

We had a really relaxing time here. Ruth was so welcoming and what a sweet touch to have the fresh delicious tomatoes waiting for us! It was a great haven to relax in and the natural setting of the property was divine. Would love to be backbif we are in the baybof islands!

Great stay

Nice studio, nice place, nice hosts!

Ruth's Tardis studio is spacious and provides everything that is needed. Highly recommend it.

A lovely place to stay and highly recommend.

This is an amazing place to stay. Quiet and very beautifully styled. Ruth made us feel special. There were lots of extras, including milk for a cuppa as soon as we arrived. You can park right by the door, and we were able to do a load of washing which we appreciated. I would recommend The Tardis to any couple wanting to stay in thid area.

A beautiful view from a lovely apartment! Would recommend!

Beautiful and calm with a nice view. Check properly before descending with the car because returning up to the main road could be a challenge....

Nice little apartment, very quiet and great views on the bay. Access to apartment with car is tricky (very steep) but manageable. We enjoyed our stay!

Such a lovely spot to relax in. Amazed by the view every morning and evening. Could’ve easily spent a full week here.

Lovely studio apartment, great views and amazing location for easy access by foot to Opua.

We really enjoyed our stay in the beautiful apartment with the stunning view on the harbor.

Great place to stay in opua. Great location close to Paihia and also a minute away from the car ferry to Russell which is super easy. Lovely view. We enjoyed fish and chips on the little deck each night. Very clean.

Amazing little home away from home for us, loved the location and the view was stunning at night and during the day! Julie was a great host, would definitely love to stay again!

What a delight the Crow’S Nest villa is! Stunning view, well appointed, very comfortable. Lovely touches like wine and fruit were most welcome? Highly recommend! Gail made communication so easy and saved the day when I left quite a few items behind! Will definitely be suggesting this wonderful place to friends and family.

Great place to live! Really enjoyed the stay.

As advertised. Very sweet spot.

Paradise away from Home!

Fantastic property. Great location and Gail makes sure everything is absolutely right. Great stay and would recommend to anyone.

Highly recommend, great location. Great service. Very clean and Gail was very helpful. To die for view

This is a fantastic place to stay with outstanding views from every room in the place. Gail was fantastic as a host. I couldn’t have been happier there.

Superb, well presented property in a great location

Great location, wonderful area to explore. Batch is a great spot to unwind and John was very quick to respond to any questionswe had.

A wonderful home with amazing views! Highly recommended!!

This is a gorgeous little place right on the water. Super convenient location next to the car ferry so you can walk down and onto the ferry. The place itself is very cute, clean and recently styled. The view from the lovely widow seat is stunning. We had a great couple of nights here, close to Waitangi treaty grounds and a 10min drive from Russell for a few beers and fish and chips.

This is a terrific little bach right near the car ferry at Oviato. It has a fantastic view over the water to Opua and sits on its own little beach. It is easy to get there by the car ferry and only ten minutes drive from Russell, where there are several good restaurants.

We loved John’s Place. It is a fantastic location and a well equipped Bach. The canoes were a real bonus and we enjoyed our paddles in the bay. Relaxing in the evening on the deck, watching the boats go by was also great. Thoroughly recommended!

This place is the tops. A perfect location on the waterfront overlooking the bay. This charming bach is comfortable, well appointed and well located. I cannot rate this wonderful spot too highly!

Beautiful views, everything handy.

Great location for exploring the area, and a real kiwi feel! Loved our stay and hope to be back!

Susan and Dale have been very friendly and helpful. They are are fantastic hosts and we had wonderful conversations with them. Every morning we enjoyed the delicious breakfast. The view from their house and terrace is gorgeous. The bedroom is small, but cosy, the beds very comfortable and we slept very well. The bathroom is huge and the little study perfect for working on your laptop. If back to Pahia that´s the place where we would love to stay.

Absolutely wonderful and sparkling clean place! The best hosts - considerate ,friendly and easy to talk to :) loved the stay and the thoughtful touches and local tips :)

We had a wonderful stay at Susan her place and Susan is a great host! Thank you for everything!

To stay in Susan's and Dell's place was a great delight for us. A perfect, comfortable location with a fantastic view to the bay of islands. Susan and Dell are superhosts, very friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure to have these interesting conversations with them. We enjoyed our stay in their beautiful home very much and can highly recommend it.

Wow - what a spot! Sue and Dale were delightful hosts and so helpful. We just wish we could have stayed longer in what is an amazing place.

Sue and Dale are extremely generous and kind. They went out of their way to help my mother and I by picking us up, dropping us off, giving helpful tips about the area and they even cooked for us! The room is cozy with two twin beds and full of thoughtful touches like outlets on the nightstand and two luggage racks, and the private bathroom has everything you need. The house is neat and clean with a fabulous porch and stunning view, perfect for watching a sunrise or sunset with your beverage of choice. There’s a bit of a walk into town if you’re on foot—20-35 minutes, depending on your speed—with a few hills, but if you like to walk like me, it’s scenic and there’s sidewalk or a wide strip to walk all the way, and Sue literally offered to drop us off or pick us up whenever we needed it, which was beyond generous! Absolutely fantastic hosts with fun travel adventures of their own to share!

Stunning views, great location and outstanding hospitality. The hosts made us feel right at home.

Paradise on Earth. Kindest hosts. Most beautiful view. Best AirBnB we've ever stayed in. My favorite part of the stay was enjoying a cheese and wine night with Sue and Dale on our first night. Thanks for having us! We look forward to seeing you again next year! Sarah x

A very nice & roomy place to stay, nice outlook, great hosts.

Murray and his wive are nice people providing good advices. Their place is comfortable and their welcome is amazing

Staying at Murray and Irma’s place is special. It’s very homely with very friendly hosts who can’t do enough for you. We loved our stay, with Opua being a perfect place to explore the Bay of Islands. Dean & Linda

Murray and his partner have been great, easy going and made our stay easy. My wife and I were staying here while we redecorate our house down the road. The accommodation was cleaned regularly and breakfast items topped up regularly. Nice backyard to watch the native birds and a good bbq. Highly recommend Muzzas place for an easy no hassle stay.

Awesome place to stay. Muzza is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended , would definitely stay here again. Cheers Muzza! 👍

We had a wonderful few days staying at Murray’s place. It is an absolutely beautiful apartment, fully equipped and with lovely touches, like fresh flowers, and breakfast foods in the fridge. Murray was very easy to deal with and communication was excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment

We stayed 7 days here using it as a base to explore the bay of islands. It is a great place to say that as it is very spacious so we could unpack and relax. Nice decking to eat meals.

A lovely peaceful setting and spacious clean accommodation. Some nice thoughtful touches like a fruit bowl and breakfast items in the fridge and cupboard. Would definitely recommend this one. Close to the Marina although a good walk uphill on the way back!

We had a lovely stay, cottage is nice and clean, and Marilyn couldn’t be nicer for us. (Free cancellation because we had to go home earlier than planned)

A lovely unit, conveniently situated close to beach. Ideal base for exploring the Bay of Islands. Easy check in.

A lovely home! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and communication from Marilyn was excellent both before and during our stay.

Beautiful cottage with all mod cons. Lots of birds around the cottage. The veranda and lawn area are lovely to use on a sunny day. Near Paihia the beach waterfalls and Waitangi Treaty Grounds. Really recommended.

We had a great stay at this lovely little Bach. It is right next to the beach on a quiet road and also very close to everything Paihia and the Bay of Islands has to offer. Communication from Marilyn was great and she answered all of our questions. The place was also spotless and had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Would stay again.

This is superb place. With separate bathroom, bedroom and spacious kitchen is a perfect place to stay when visiting bay of islands. It is located 5 min drive or 25 min walk from Paihia.

Lovely cottage in a quiet cul de sac walking distance from the centre of Paihia. Everything was perfectly clean. Nice living/kitchen area with a terrace out back with seating to enjoy the weather. Bonus to be able to use laundry facilities. Thanks for a lovely stay!

great place great location

As advertised. Lovely!

Incredible stay with Isobelle and Bill, the most hospitable and helpful hosts you could ask for and a lovely place to stay in a perfect location. 10/10 would recommend

The place is really nice. The bed is comfy and everything is very clean. Totally recommend it!

I LOVED this place. Excellent location - very quiet, just off main road. Great to get to Waitangi Treaty Ground, Paihia etc. The photos on air bnb don’t show off the wonderful features of the place! The room is big and there is a corner with sofa and two rocking chairs, there’s a big bed and a single in another corner. The bathroom and toilet are separate and there’s everything we needed, microwave, fridge, etc. This was my favourite air bnb in NZ! Thanks so much Bill & Isobelle, you’re the best hosts.

Best AirBnB experience we had during our NZ-trip. Lovely little private house with everything you need, and also tasteful furnishings and art. Very good value for money. We only wished we could have stayed longer.

Didn't get a chance to meet Isobelle, but my stay here was lovely. Had everything I needed and slept great. Would stay here again!

Great place to stay, very comfortable and great helpful hosts.

Wonderful spot, photos do not do it justice! SoSpacious and homely. Awesome shower too! Would highly recommend.

A perfect location and stay for 2 couples. We really enjoyed the expansive views from almost all windows of the house and enjoyed sitting out on the deck with a cool drink. There is a nice walk along the coast below the house, which takes you all the way to Paihia. The house felt like a home away from home and was very well equipped. We will definitely stay again if in the area.

We had a great time at the Villa, incredible views out every window of the Bay of Islands and 2 decks to enjoy watching the boats go by and the stars at night. Beautiful sunrises. Highly recommended.

This is the perfect stopover before heading further North. Spacious sun-filled apartment with everything you need . Great water pressure in the showers, clean & stylishly furnished. Endless activity to watch in the bay with ferries and yachts coming and going...we will return!

Wonderful location, sparkling clean, every comfort you need.

Absolutely gorgeous view. Wonderful space and fantastic amenities. Thank you Gail, we had a wonderful time.

Amazing views, a perfect stay. Would recommend!

Excellent accommodations for two couples. Sitting on the deck watching the harbor life and stars memorable and fun!

The view from the terraces is amazing! Also the house is really nice and a quick drive from Pahia.

My brother and I had a wonderful stay at Don’s house.The view was absolutely beautiful and the serenity of this area is amazing.We loved our time here and we would recommend it to anyone

Wonderful view, very quiet lots of Bush. Very relaxing

There's really not much to say. Everything at Don's place, including the hosting, was great! A real joy staying there.

Stunningly beautiful views from the house with floor to ceiling windows/doors that open. Perfect for when you’re cooking or lounging inside or out.

This is a beautiful, peaceful home on one level. Spotless, well-equipped kitchen. The toilet and shower are in separate rooms. Everything is hilly in Opua so be ready to walk down a short but steep driveway to the home. We parked in the circle at the top of the driveway. Stunning views. About 10 minutes to Paihia by car. You should stay here!

Dons place was perfect. Everything was spotless and the view was stunning. He was very accomodating and easy to book with. The house was quiet and close to both paihia and Russell.

The views were amazing. Quiet and peaceful place. Very close to the car ferry for Russell. Watched ferries and yachts go in and out. Easy access to Pahia for supermarkets. Small store at the bottom of the road. Also Marina Cafe good for breakfast and lunch. Fish and chips from place next to shop excellent. Highly recommended.

Great place to stay with amazing views. Very clean and tidy, great location. Loved it.

Staying at Eveleen’s was like staying at home, away from home. Very comfortable and well appointed. Lovely ammenities and furnishings. Really nice outdoor seating/dining area. Very safe and quiet. Excellent base to explore the Bay of Islands.

Great location and a lovely place to spend a few days. Great hosts and great value for money. Well recommended

A very comfortable and excellently situated flat. Great amenities would definitely stay there again.

The best Airbnb in Russell. We had a fantastic stay over New Years. The place was equipped with everything we could ever have wanted, comfy and private - and Eveleen shared local hotspots for us to visit and even shared some delicious home cooking. Great stay away. Highly recommended.

Eveleen's house is right by the ferry, the trail to Russell, and Eveleen has fantastic local recommendations. The apartment has everything you need including a kitchen.

Eveleen and Scott had been a fantastic and pleasant host. Their local knowledge had been really useful to polish our last minute vacation plans. We enjoyed some serene spots around Bay of islands during the labor weekend. They were very accommodating to our reasonable requests and it helped us have a smooth vacation. Their place is complete with all amenities for a family with little children. Being a primary teacher Eveleen knows how to keep the kids engaged with all the board games at their place. They have a very nice collection of books to read if you are after reading during vacation. Eveleen and Scott also work hard to grow all vegetables and gardens in their home organically. It is so satisfying to see those organic produces. Appreciate their obsession about producing good food. I would definitely recommend their place. -Vasu

Fantastic Airbnb. Have everything you need and more. Quick responses from host and very friendly.

👌 Perfect

Lovely location. A decent little walk in either direction to get to the water; we enjoyed the proximity to things and the view is excellent from the main room and kitchen!

A larger than expected space with plenty of sleeping options. Well located close the the beach and Paihia centre with easy access to lots of other spots in the area. Great hosts with great communication.

Lovely spacious studio with good views. Well equipped and comfy.

We really enjoyed our stay. The accommodation is really spacious, clean and secure, with insect screens on doors and windows to allow free airflow and no bugs. The hosts are outstanding lovely people who made us feel very welcome. Elevated outlook and everything you could need to have a comfortable stay. Good value for money.

Great place to stay , 2 bedroom. 2 bathroom . Loved the big bath in en-suite . Woolworths grocery shop 2 min walk . Tram at end of street . Definitely will stay again .

This place is so comfy and inviting. Loved the laundry and kitchen set up.

Superb location, fantastic accommodation, exceptional hosts, highly recommend.

A lovely relaxed and peaceful home to stay over. We loved having the ferry close by. The view is truly amazing. Andrea is a welcoming and friendly host and easy to communicate with.

Excellent getaway, and as stated right at the ferry stop when you cross in the ferry. Views are spectacular, with everything you need at your fingertips. 8kms from Russell, but the drive was beautiful. Used it as it base for chartered fishing. Able to bring our kingfish back to share, cook and eat.

Andrea is a very experienced and exceptional host. She made us feel perfectly at home, immediately adding some thoughtful touches for my wife who was nursing a broken foot. The location and view were breathtaking and the facilities outstanding. We can't wait to return.

Great value for money. Lovely host and a very relaxing stay, the lounge is the perfect place to read a book and look over the harbour.

Directly above the pier, the view is great! The island is short of water, so the pipes are all stored rainwater. The room is small, but the price can't be too high, drink coffee on the balcony and look at the sea!

Loved this home away from home! Really is a gorgeous place to stay and Russell is so close by! Andrea was very helpful and so kind!

Andrea was very personable and accommodating. Her cheerful and relaxed demeanour makes you feel like you want to stay there longer! Beautiful scenery.

.

Wouldn’t ask for anything better. Perfect location right off the ferry, breathtaking views, everything was phenomenal. Andrea was awesome, easy to communicate with, was there when we needed her! Would recommend to anyone, will be back if I’m ever back!

Andrea is very kind ,warm and good guider. so nice to pick me for extra service. we meet and talk like old friends. the most important thing is her home have a fantestic view of sea and sunraise more than I COULD expect. hope could come again

Andrea is such a down to earth, no-fuss, welcoming host !! Made me feel instantly relaxed. All the basics well covered, knowledgeable on local scene, helpful positive, and prompt responder. Sparkling clean, and view to die for! Great base for Russell & magnificent coastal road if you get the chance. Brian. Jan2020.

Great location and very nice and careful host.

Great host and great location. One of the best airbnb stays Ive had!

Andrea’s house has the best view of Okiato. Andrea also shares so many local knowledge with us. She is such a warm and happy host that you’ll enjoy chatting with her a lot!

Nice and beautiful home, Andrea is very nice gave us lots of advice of Russell.

Great place with stunning view! Kitchen included, Andrea is a great host we enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back!

we really enjoyed our four day stay in this beautiful place. An extremely nice apartment with really everything you need. Comfortably and thoughtfully furnished. A beautiful large very private outdoor area with a sea view ... What more could you want! Attentive and very friendly hosts! thanks for the nice stay

Its an awesome place to stay. The apartment and the outside area are lovely. Its furnished with lots of love and the view is amazing. The hosts were very lovely as well. We felt very welcomed and enjoyed our stay a lot. We highly recommend the place. Thank you very much Miriam and Bernhard.

Miriam's place was fantastic. Seamless check in, clean, private and had everything we needed to make the most of a weekend in the bay of islands. 5 minutes from Paihia meant we were close to everything we needed. Miriam was a great communicator and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again :)

A lovely space, super peaceful and quiet with fantastic views. We used the well stocked kitchen a couple of times for dinner preparation and had everything we needed.

Very romatic house in secluded, private area. Great deck with lovely views over the trees to the water. Well equipped. Great for a couple. You need a car as it is a short drive to shops and restaurants.

A fabulous place to relax and explore the surrounding areas. The view from the verandah is spectacular and being in the forest and away from the crowds was just what we needed. The house is comfortable and has everything you need, loved the outdoor bath. Tastefully furnished. Would go back again.

Great hidden gem with lovely views. Peaceful and relaxing spot a short drive away to Paihia.

Beautiful, secluded house in a great location - feels like you're staying in the middle of the jungle. Perfect for a getaway out of the city.

Beautiful Airbnb perched in the trees The view is beautiful The deco is nice 10min from Paihia

It was a good base for 4 nights in the bay of islands and a good value.

We had a fabulous time at the Love Shack. It's in a quiet & peaceful setting with amazing views looking out over Pahia. We especially enjoyed the outdoor bath. I would highly recommend for a romantic couples weekend away.

The guest accommodation is very comfortable and the porch space with a beautiful view of the garden and Bay of Islands was the finishing touch. Our hosts were gracious and very respectful of our privacy. They provided good local knowledge. We enjoyed our stay very much.

This was such a lovely place from which to explore the Bay of Islands. Beautiful cottage and garden, spacious and comfortable accommodation in a quiet environment. Host Steve & Rosemary were very welcoming and were quick to answer any questions we had during our stay. We stayed for a week and were offered fresh towels on a regular basis. Kitchen has all you need and if something you need is missing, you just ask. Beach is walking distance and Russell a 10 min drive. We highly recommend this place.

Perfectly clean with all the amenities you could wish for. Very quiet place, no traffic, only the birds and the wind brushing through the trees. Nice cosy deck with great views.

Very comfortable accommodation in an amazing location. Steve and Rosemary are delightful hosts - we enjoyed our stay a great deal.

We really recommend this place. Very warm welcome and advice from Steve and his wife. It's like a little paradise, this house was very clean and peaceful. Perfect to find peace and serenity. One of the best Airbnb we stayed at.

What a fantastic place to have celebrated our 15th anniversary! Like a sanctuary tucked away from the hustle and bustle of life, we found ourselves surrounded by beautiful foliage, amazing birds and a lovely view of the water. The beach was just a few minutes walk through a reserve. Nearby is a lovely winery and the town of Russell with lots to see and do. Steve & Rosemary were the perfect hosts, giving us privacy yet available when we needed them. They also made the visit extra special with their loving touches of bouquets of flowers, and a bottle of wine to celebrate with. There were other extras of tea/coffee, and biscuits! The unit itself was immaculate and we had everything we needed!

Very respectful helpful hosts.

The apartment was very comfortable, clean, with everything we need to make a perfect stay. We will be back !

This property is located just outside of Paihia which takes away all the congestion from other tourists. It has a spacious lounge area which you can comfortably relax in. A tasty breakfast was provided by the hosts which my husband & I really enjoyed.

Kerry was great to communicate with. Her stay was clean and spacious and the breakfast was honestly fantastic! Definitely not right in town which was good for us as we liked being away from the busy streets... but it's close enough to everything you need Definitely worth staying

Excellent location and accommodations. Wish we could have stuck around longer!

It’s indeed the perfect base ! The hosts are lovely; communication is timely and promptly. It is away from the crowd, yet close enough to the centre.

Clean with thoughtful touches throughout. Perfect location for exploring island bay

Kerry’s place is literally The Perfect Base from which to explore the BOI region, which in its self is such a stunning location. The apartment is lovely, it has all you could possibly want even for an extended stay. It is exceptionally clean and spotless throughout. Kerry & Phil could not have done more to help us in our stay and were very hospitable as well, it was a pleasure to meet them both and hear all their stories! Many thanks for everything to you both! Cheers, Sean & Vanessa
