Great hosts, location, facilities and such comfortable beds
Everything was perfect
Beautiful country setting in very well catered for accommodation. Hosts were so gracious and welcoming.

Unsere Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und haben uns eine schöne Zeit bereitet. Die Unterkunft hatte alles was wir gebraucht hatten und noch mehr. Schöner Pool und Hot tub, die Spielscheune war ein Highlight auch die kleine Wanderung war grandios. Wir hatten eine wirklich schöne Zeit und wollten gar nicht mehr weg.
Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit netten Gastgebern. Schwimmbad mit Aussicht.
Gibt nichts zu mekern
Mike and Andrea were so friendly and welcoming. The cottage was beautiful which matched the scenery
Very welcoming and helpful owners
The property is very special. It is perched on a hill overlooking a beautiful coastline and it has been lovingly restored. Our hosts were very friendly and the room has everything you could possibly want in it down to barbeque supplies! The bed was comfortable and there is ample AC for hot days. The room is beautifully designed like a country cottage and great attention to detail was paid to picking out fabrics, appliances, art work, etc. making this feel like a very luxury experience.
The porch light on the cottage we stayed in wasn't working, but I put on a headlamp and was able to BBQ anyway. I didn't get a chance to ask the hosts as our time there was short, but no doubt they would have addressed it right away if I asked.
Everything was super clean and tidy, very well equiped and an amazing heated pool , spa and a big shed with games. Beautiful views and lovely hosts. We definitely will come back and tell our friends about it.
Everything was superlative - the spacious cottage, the views, the quietness and our exceptional hosts.
The fact that we couldn’t walk to anywhere from the property
Well presented

Beautiful location. Friendly informative hosts.
Close to the function we were attending Parking right outside villa Very accommodating hosts
That we didn’t get to enjoy all the facilities they had to offer
Superbe propriété dans un cadre magnifique. Vue époustouflante sur la baie de Whangarei. Hôtes charmants.
Amazing facilities, clean and comfortable cottage and the friendliest hosts. Lovely bush walk and the games barn was an absolute hit for us all.
Lovely accommodation with everything we needed for a fantastic stay away from home. Tastefully decorated room with very comfortable bed. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly.

Amazing location, what view from the pool!
Beautiful views, comfortable, clean, fun activities, lovely hosts
Highly rate this accomodation and the hosts. Absolutely beautiful location and facilities. Had the perfect weekend away and can’t wait to visit again. Everything was perfect from the views to the villa couldn’t have asked for more.
Nothing, it’s a perfect accomodation only sad we had to leave.
The property is extrasolar with beautiful views, inviting grass fields, being able to interact with the animals, and the cottages and pool are simply stunning!
Andrea was so friendly and helpful and made us feel so welcome. We had a beautiful stay here and would be keen to return. Breakfast and robes provided were a special touch
Beautiful big garden with a pool and a really nice view to the bay. We stayed only one night but if you have time we would recommend to stay a little longer.
Self catering with excellent facilities .Cottage very well appointed.
Nothing
Exceptionally warm and personal welcome. Andrea our host was such a sweet and charming lady. We were immediately made to feel at home. The pool area is gorgeous and the view magnificent. The cottage itself is cosy and very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the crisp white bed linen, soft towels and there were also fluffy robes for guest use. Everything was immaculately clean.
Nothing!
Wow, what a way to end our new zealand trip! The hosts were so friendly and the houde very comfortable. Great pool and jacuzzi facilities as well. Beautiful gardens reminding us of southern France overlooking the stunning Parua Bay. Would recommend!

Pool, spa, games room. Incredible hosts!!! They went above and beyond!! Loved them
Viewsfriendly people
It was perfect
Location was great, the view was amazing, our apartment was spacious and clean and cozy. The hosts were very nice and friendly. It was also very lovely to have eggs for breakfast from local chooks, thank you for everything Andrea and Mike!

Great place and hosts and so handy to that great pub in Parua Bay
A bit of noise from the adjacent unit to the smaller 1 bedroom unit… okay this time but if there were noisier people it could be a problem
Just amazing! Such a beautiful location. Kind hosts, cosy cottage & amazing games room. Definitely booking for longer next time x
My family and I travelled down to Parua Bay for the weekend for a sporting event. Kauri Villas was in close proximity to our venue and a beautiful home away from home. Warm, friendly and inviting is how I would describe Andrea and Mike. We stayed in the Kohinui Cottage and it exceeded our expectations. Warm and cosy and a perfect fit for our family of 4 (2 x adults and 2 small children) A real highlight was the pool and the games room which our 6yr old loved. The surrounding area and views that Kauri Villas sit on are also exceptionally breathtaking. We look forward to coming back to this beautiful spot of Parua Bay and thank Andrea and Mike for their hospitality and kindness.
Enjoyed our stay here. The accommodation is excellent and in a beautiful location. The hosts, Andrea and Mike, go out of their way to ensure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable. The cottage was super clean, modern and equipped with everything you'd need. We'd have no hesitation in recommending it.
Clean, tidy and had lots of things to do
It was a great property
Such a comfortable, peaceful place to stay that has all the basics covered plus just a touch of luxury to remind you that you’re on vacation. We stayed in a 2-bed cottage that had very comfortable furniture, nice linens, refreshing showers, plenty of kitchen items, and thoughtful touches like some cooking basics and lovely robes. Kind and available hosts. Close to some fantastic views, beaches, and hikes, but also not too far from some small local dining options, post, and grocery. A highlight of our trip and we hope to be back!
N/a We liked the cosy feeling of the unit, the quietness and the view.
Nothing
the villas were beautifully decorated; had all the essentials, we wanted for nothing. Great personal touches like carafe by bed, rugs on couch, maps of area, every utensil we needed, helpful, friendly and flexible hosts.

Everything about the property is amazing. Great views. Superb hosts. Awesome games room. Swimming pool and spa.
The room (kingfisher cottage) is attached to another cottage and if your neighbours are noisy (ours had kids), you can hear them all the time. Couldn't really sleep in in the morning due to that.
Beautiful location, very clean and all the owners were friendly and helpful
Nothing, we loved it all
Cosy 1 bedroom cottage. Awesome views, swimming pool and spa. Parua Bay Tavern 5 minute drive for dinner and drinks. Very friendly hosts 😀
Nothing to dislike
Well presented, clean, comfortable, thoughtful extras included
Can’t fault the property!
The best accomodation in New Zealand and the grandios view. The great hospitality of our hosts

Location and soft comfy beds 👌🤩
Comfortable,clean and quiet.

Cute little villa with many extras. Andrea the owner was very friendly and helpful
Lovely setting and great hosts. We had a memorable stay.
We loved everything about this Beautiful place. The owners were lovely. The accommodation was perfect.
Tout Wonderful
Our hosts were extremely welcoming and informative. This is a gem of a place, very comfortable, spacious, well equipped and the facilities are great.

Fabulous spot for a long weekend away from Auckland. The sea view from the main property is amazing, and the pool / games barn a great place for the kids to be entertained. The hosts are incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We stayed in the Kohinui (family) cottage - 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, well-equipped kitchen, and heat pumps/AC in every room. The cottages aren't new, but the hosts have done a great job in making sure they feel clean and comfortable. Parua Bay village (with petrol station, bakery, and Four Square) is a short drive away. Ocean Beach is about 10 mins drive, should you want a day boogie-boarding or a dip in the sea. Or you can stay put and relax by the heated pool / hot tub at Kauri Villas with that amazing view. This place is a great find in a less-populated holiday spot, and reasonably priced for what you get - highly recommend!
Beautiful setting, Andrea and Mike were Great hosts, had a very Comfortable Bed, and was Quiet and Tranquil and an awesome pool.
There was nothing about the property that we didn’t like!
Outstanding location
Host go above and beyond
Excellent facilities in a top class location hosted by a lovely couple - - would recommend this property as an ideal venue for a relaxing break
We had no negatives to report
Awesome place, we will definitely be back! The spa and pool are great, on a clear night you can lie in the spa and gaze at the stars! The accommodation is very well set up with everything you can imagine needing and more plus an awesome games room with pool table, football table and lots of other games. Plus there is beautiful lighting everywhere. The owners are so lovely and helpful.

beautiful property with lovely owners. The accommodation was quiet and in lovely grounds, use of the pool and hot tub was also a great bonus, cannot recommend this highly enough
The location , beautiful views of Parua Bay, the condition of the property -well maintained
Liked everything
Beautiful scenery and location , the rooms are in excellent condition , property owners super helpful and friendly. Recommended
Host was very friendly and the property was quiet and peaceful.
Nothing, keep up your good work.
The hosts were warm and welcoming. I loved everything about this experience - cottage was clean, modern facilities and absolutely charming. I especially appreciated Mike spending time with us to meet his sheep - so cute! He even gave us pellets so I could feed them. Views from this property were beautiful. Many for a wonderful stay! I so wish we could have stayed longer.
I love the location and the the hosts. The quietness and serenity have to be felt. It's the perfect getaway from a hectic life. Don't hesitate just book.
Nothing to dislike here.
Exceptional place to stay. Owners were on site and super friendly and helpful, property was clean and charming. Will definitely be staying again.
Beautiful accommodation! Hosts were lovely

The location was stunning. The cottage I stayed in was extremely comfortable and clean. The facilities were amazing, I particularly enjoyed the pool and the spa. The hosts Mike and Andrea were so lovely and welcoming. I can't wait to stay there again!
There was nothing that could have been any better, except for the weather when I wanted to go into the pool, but unfortunately we can't change the weather.
There wasn’t anything to dislike , loved our short stay

No breakfast. Very amenable and lovely owners who went to the limit to impress.
Nothing
The friendliness and welcoming of the owners, where nothing was to much trouble for them. Also the peace and quietness of the place. There was plenty to occupy us with out feeling we always had to go to town.
There was nothing we didn't like or enjoy. We found the premises very clean and cozy.
We made our own breakfast. The facilities were excellent, we had a fantastic stay. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. The accommodation was great, nothing else was needed, it was all there and more.. We would definitely book again, and I highly recommend this to anyone. There was a bush walk with amazing Kauris on the property too, the games room and spa pool were also outstanding and it made for a fun environment.

Was stunningly beautiful
There was absolutely nothing to not like about the property
Very friendly owners, Andrea was helpful when we came in, and showed us around the property. Great views all around.
Absolutely fantastic. Could not be happier. Great facilities and the room itself was like a little mini house that honestly felt like a home away from home. Lovely hosts.
Nothing - was all perfect. Just sad we were there only one night
Great stay on a short business trip. Welcoming and friendly hosts showed me around. Will have to come back with the family to enjoy the games room and heated pool, likes like fun 😊 Comfortable little cottage with all the necessities, nice and warm and cosy. Gotta come back for more !
If I could score this property 15 out of 10 I would. I loved everything
Nothing
The hosts were attentive and friendly. The accommodations were spacious and clean. I would definitely be back. Highly recommended!
Excellent place to stay well worth the money great people and very caring.
Loved our stay! Definitely intend on visiting again next summer :)
Honestly, no complaints our stay was amazing!
Andrea and Mike are very friedly hosts, nice location; tastefully appointed little cottage with all kitchen utensils. Lots of attention given to details like: tastefully selcted glasses and dishes; bathrobes for two; excellent towels, immaculately prepared comfy bed for a good night's sleep; little treats (like chocolates, bikkies, choice of teas). Rivals good hotel standard. Recommended!
Nothing to complain about.
Great place to stay, warm welcome. Great pool and spa. Would have rated a 10, if not in comparison with other places we stayed. Breakfast option would have been nice. Though coffee/tea and cups/plates/cutlery sufficient available.
Nothing in particular.
We had a fabulous stay at Kauri villas - it worked perfectly for our extended family group and the kids (and adults!) loved making the most of the facilities on offer. Thank you Mike and Andrea for your wonderful hospitality
Andrea and Mike were super hosts, friendly, and helpful. Great views and a perfect heated pool. A central spot for exploring the areas beaches, walks etc. We would definitely recommend it for a relaxing, peaceful break.
Maybe more kitchen facilities for self-catering if staying longer.
Just a lovely experience
Wasn’t there long enough
The hosts were friendly, attentive, and fun. The view from the property was amazing and the on-site hike among the trees was a surprise bonus. The villa was comfy, cozy, and clean. Our stay at Kauri Villas exceeded our expectations.
Breath-taking views and amazing hospitality of Andrea and Mike.

LOVED OUR SHORT VISIT We were welcomed warmly and shown around the beautiful property. Breathtaking views, we loved our room. We will return for another visit soon. The pool is inviting the addition of the games room space, which is also inviting. We loved our quiet morning coffee over looking the bay. Super helpful we will be telling all our friends. Highly recommend Kauri Villas for charm, comfort, and exceptional location. Nga Mihi 🙏🏽
