We had a wonderful stay with Judy. She was a very welcoming host and we look forward to staying again. Such a beautiful place to stay

Our experience at Rangimarie was absolutely incredible, even more amazing than we expected. Judy is very friendly and helpful and makes you feel extremely welcomed. The location and view are stunning, great beach on the doorstep. Nice, clean room with all the amenities. Highly recommend.

We were welcomed like family into Judy's beautiful home. We were shown to our room, we had our own TV area, could make full use of the kitchen and dining area, tea, coffee and milk were all at our disposal, we had our own fridge already stocked with chilled filtered water and the bathroom was huge with all amenities available ( shampoo, conditioner, soap, plenty of towels etc. ) . We arrived in the late afternoon and Judy suggested a beach walk and showed us the way. We had the beach to ourselves!! The views from the house and from our room are breathtaking. Judy treated us like old friends, we felt most at home. Thank you!!

Judy welcomed us into her home as if we were old friends. She was very helpful and accommodating. She lives in a beautiful place.

A wonderfull place to stay. one of your best places we stayed during our NZ roundtrip. Judy was an excellent helpful friendly host; the room was spaceious, quiete and well furnished. The view over the bay ist incredeble. If ever possible we will stay at Judys again and will recomment this to our friends.

Lovely location above the beach and outstanding hospitality from Judy in a casual kiwi B and B setting.

Terrific place to stay overlooking remote Anaura Bay. Starlight and sunrise we experienced in fine weather was very impressive. Rangemarie was very comfortable and we enjoyed meeting Judy and her local guests. The dinner she prepared for us was also very good, not mention convenient since other dining options in this area are limited and rather far away.

THE VIEW!! Beautiful view of Anaura Bay from the cottage room. Lovely breakfast of yogurt, bread, granola and fruit. Very comfortable bed as well. When we arrived all the doors and windows where open, so you can feel the ocean air which is nice.

Bruce is a great man!

I would say, Bruce has fulfilled everything I would like to have in the future and he is still studying new things. He is the coolest old man living near the sea and who can make many things happen. We really enjoyed the stay in his place and we recommend the family with kids to live in his place!

Fantastic spot. Bruce was a great host. Would love to stay again.

Definite must stay!

Friendly, welcoming host with good yarns! We really enjoyed our stay at Bruce's and will be back again!

Bruce est quelqu'un de chaleureux, l'expression faite comme chez vous lui colle à ravir il nous a accueillis comme des membres de sa famille et nous avons passé un excellent séjour en sa compagnie tout particulièrement grâce à nos conversations et à l'ambiance musicale variée.

Basic but comfortable. Clean linen and bathroom and kitchen. Visit the Jetty and walk to Cooks Cove if you are up to it. The Star of Canada museum in Gisborn was superb.

Bruce is really kind and friendly to us. We are really happy and enjoy our time with him. He are the most good host i even meet at Airbnb. Many thank to him shared us him story, crayfish, smoked fish and raw fish. It too yummy

Great house in beautiful location! Exactly as stated in description and Alex was easy to communicate with. Definitely looking to stay again! Thanks

Beatrice and Hugh made me feel one more of the family. The private room with beautiful toilet and private entrance is comfortable, and very good. Beatrice and Hugh welcomed me as if I were one of the family. The room is better than what is shown. Very comfortable bed, spacious room and large and very creative bathroom. Decorated very simple and with good taste. The breakfasts are delicious and Beatrice wanted to please me in everything. Most of the products they use are from their own garden or from their hens. One of the days of my stay was my birthday and they celebrated it with me as if we had known each other for many years. Beatrice made me a birthday cake and both of them gave me a nice present. Hugh had many details with me that few people have had. My experience couldn't be better. It. The location is perfect for beach and mountain and to know the east coast of the country. It is a perfect place to relax and forget the world with a simple life. The best thing about Beatrice and Hugh is that they are good people and it is something lately the world lacks. They know they have a good friend in the Canary Islands. I will go back to New Zealand to meet them again. (my English is not good enough to express my self).

Beatrice was the loveliest of hosts, she wrote us a beautiful note letting us know about the room and breakfast as she wasn't able to make it for us in the morning which was a lovely touch. The room was so gorgeous & Beatrice really went out of her way to make us feel as comfortable and possible. We have stayed in multiple Air BnB's and this is definitely one of our favourites. Will absolutely recommend to any friends or family travelling through and looking for a place to stay on the East Cape.

What a gorgeous property! The property is easy to find on a lovely section with lots of fruit trees. Our room was brilliant...beautifully decorated and very sunny. The bed was extremely comfortable and we both slept well. In the morning Beatrice made us a fabulous cooked breakfast using eggs laid by her own chickens, peaches from her fruit trees, and freshly squeezed orange juice. Beatrice and her partner are excellent hosts; welcoming and friendly and knowledgable about the area. In short Beatrice's place was perfect for us. It was our first Air BnB experience and Beatrice set a very high bar for others to follow.

My stay with the very friendly Beatrice and Hugh was one of the most memorable airbnb experiences I've had! As hosts they were so warm, considerate, generous and welcoming. I found my small but unique self contained accommodation well catered for all my traveller's needs, with a very comfortable queen size bed where l had an excellent night's sleep. A delicious breakfast is also served out on a delightful patio which can include eggs from their lovely free range chickens if you wish! I was even very fortunate to share a divine dinner of lobster with my hosts too! I was in sheer heaven!!! So yes l would highly reccommend this special airbnb property without hesitation. Thank you Beatrice and Hugh Warmest wishes Merren

This is a must stay for anyone even remotely close, it's a wonderful part of NZ and Breatrice and Hugh we're extremely accommodating, everything thing about this stay made our holiday.

Tolaga bay is a quiet coastal village 45mins north of Gisborne with plenty to see & do. Beatrice & Hugh are both excellent hosts who go above & beyond to ensure that you're comfortable & looked after, plus you may get a visit from the local character, a Magpie like no other. The breakfasts are delicious & much appreciated, a great start to the day. Plus I haven't experience hospitality this good with any other AirBnB hosts. The room is tasteful & just the right size, with a deck leading onto the lawn & citrus plants mere metres from the door. I recommend this room for singles & couples who like to get to know the area as the locals know it. It was my first time in this area, but I felt like one of the family. I couldn't recommend this more. A motel could never provide you with an experience like this. Thank you.

Highly recommend staying with Beatrice and Hugh - quaint quirky and clean accomodation. Breakfast is outstanding, fresh local produce a great start to your day! A wonderful taste of tolaga bay hospitality.

Beatrice and Hugh were excellent hosts. Made me feel right at home. Had some lovely chats over wine and dinner. Highly recommend to stay here. Thank you both!

Nice hosts, very relaxed atmosphere, gave us some good travel and sightseeing tips. Excellent location with a porch facing the sea! Enjoyed our short stay.

Comfortable accommodation and beautiful views.

Leanne and Angus have one of those "hidden gems" tucked away in Tokomaru Bay. If you're looking for friendly hosts, comfortable and interesting surroundings with stunning seaviews look no further....

I loved the compost toilet!

Amazing views & great setup

beautiful spot to relax with lovely view from deck. well equipped ktchen and clean rooms. great spot to stop.

Facility is quite good except toilet. I think that kind of toilet doesn't suitable for 21st century. But hosts are very kind and helpful.

This is a great place to stay! Lovely short walk to a beautiful beach. The owners are very eco conscious and run this backpackers place with that in mind but it still has everything you could want or need.

Kim and Robert were excellent hosts! There were delicious muffins waiting for us at our arrival. The room is spotless and stocked with many things you use on a daily basis (salt/pepper/oil) and so on. This is by far one of the nicest airbnb's we have stayed in. The bed and couch is super comfy and there are movies to watch if you get a rainy or stormy day. The location is perfection as well! Right across from great surf spots and just a touch out of Gisborne's busier area. Very peaceful area and next to a deli that stays open til 730, which is nice bc many close early. I would highly recommend staying here! Exceeded our expectations in every way!

Beautiful apartment. Across the road to a wonderful beach. Walks all around.

I loved the muffin on arrival, nice touch. Great communication all the way through. I felt so comfortable and 'at-home.' I really look forward to coming back.

What a gorgeous place to stay! Just across the road from the beach, a sun-soaked retreat with everything you could need. Kim was the perfect host, too - highly recommended!

I booked Kim's lovely little home for my parents as a wee gift. They loved their stay, the location was perfect for them - only a stones throw from the beach with beautiful views. They gushed over the freshly baked muffins and how well equipped everything was. If I ever stay in Gisborne, this is where I will be coming. Thank you for showing them such a lovely time.

Absolutely spotless and very comfortable apartment a stones throw from the surf, thoughtfully furnished and well fitted out with all mod cons. Very friendly and accommodating hosts, the home made mince pies on arrival made my day! I highly recommend staying here

What an amazing spot to stay. My partner and I spent a long weekend here and it was absolutely perfect. The apartment was well equipped and in a beautiful location

Hey guys and gals, Upon arrival, I found a big fat home-made muffin! Need I say more? But I will. Warm hospitality, clean accomodation, great proximity to the beach and great amenities!

Had a wonderful time staying at the Marigold manor. A beautiful home accompanied by a lovely host. Definitely recommend this place to anyone passing through for a few days

Lovely place to stay and could not fault the host. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful house, with a beautiful lady hostess. It has been a real pleasure getting to know Heléne. She is welcoming and very kind. Had a really lovely stay. Close to the town and close to some amazing surfing beaches!

This place is in Gisborne, but also feels like it could be in a C.S.Lewis novel. Absolutely one of the best places and nicest hosts i've come across over the years I've been using Airbnb. If you're reading this then you're considering staying here and I would say stop looking and book now. Definitely worth making a trip to Gisborne for.

Marigold Manor is a really unmissable experience. It is a restful place and the decor and location is very beautiful. The host is a wonderful person and it's been a pleasure to stay here.

great premises lovely room, Great company would happily come back again.

Marigold Manor is a jewel of a home. Such incredible value. Easy to get around and just a short drive into town. If you have the chance to visit definitely stay Marigold Manor. Marigold is a outstanding host. I strongly recommend her home as a place to stay at.

What a delight, as a solo traveller the “personal touch” of staying in someone’s much loved home made my trip to Gisborne so much more pleasurable. Your host is a delightful, artistic lady and her home and its grounds are truly beautiful. Full of character. Christina

Stan warmly greeted us upon arrival to Macrocarpa Heights. The unspoilt views from every direction are breathtaking. The house is new, large, spacious, modern, well appointed and comfortable. It felt like I was "home". The house sits high up on the hill overlooking the coastline, historic wharf and town below. The stars at night are so amazing here. Stan also took the time to show us around his gold fish farm and our boys really enjoyed seeing fish of all shapes and sizes. We really enjoyed our conversations with Stan and his family. Macrocarpa is a wonderful place where you can relax and unwind. We would definitely stay here again.

Plenty of room - although there were only two of us.

We really enjoyed staying with Stan. Great accommodation with stunning views. Such an interesting place, wonderful.

Stan was a very kind host who took the time to give us a tour of his goldfish farm- very interesting! The views from the property were fantastic. We appreciated the large, well-equipped kitchen and bathroom with a great shower. This property is pretty spacious and would be good for families.

A great spot in beautiful Tokomaru Bay. Stan is a great host and the unit has a lovely view over the bay.

This is an ideal place for folk to stop over as they travel a largely unknown but ravishingly beautiful part of the North Island. The beach is long and deserted, great for walking on and the accommodation is all you could desire, clean and comfortable with a view to die for.

Great quiet place to relax for the night. The unit is fully fitted with everything you need. We had a lovely BBQ during our stay. Stan sent us very clear directions well in advance of arrival which was great. He greeted us on arrival and showed us around. I would stay here again when I am in the area. Thanks Stan

Great place if you want to be a little away from the city. Surprisingly spacious. Friendly and helpful hosts.

Wonderful place to stay. Lovely accommodating hosts. Highly recommend

Great communication, awesome little cottage with everything you need and very affordable for families.

Lovely little house / bach, individual and nice looking interior. Sharon as your host is very open minded and helpful!

A gorgeous place to stay with everything you need and a great location.

Beautiful and cosey Bach at Sharons place, see showed us all around the bach and we found just what we needed. The daytrip up to the eastcape was just perfect and we loved every litte bit of Gisborne and the eastland. For sure be back here if i would see the eastcoast again.

This was an awesome place to stay a little outta town but it was really cool. The place was really clean and neat and Sharon made us feel right at home. Thank u so much again :)

We found the Bach to be absolutely charming. It was very well decorated and has obviously been smartly refurbished. The deck on the back was private and the property itself is in a killer location. You feel very much "out in the country" but really you're just a quick minute to the center of Gisborne. Sharon and her family were so welcoming and fun; it was a shame to leave.

Fantastic spot. Would definitely stay again. Alf and Cate were both so lovely and their home is really something else. Great views over the city, perfect facilities and plenty of private space to make the place feel like home for the duration of your stay.

Definately worth your consideration. Hosts clearly care about making your stay enjoyable.

Alf and Cate are absolutely awesome hosts. So over the moon to have stayed in such a beautiful home and location. We loved the spa, pool, bath tub, decor, comfy bed, everything you need. Perfect getaway! We had a blast. Cheers

Alf and Cate's place is awesome. Lots of room with beautiful artwork. Very comfortable bed, great kitchen facilities and deck with pool and hot tub. Only a few minutes from the centre of Gisborne with restaurants and walks to enjoy. Great place for a couple to spend a few days.

Alf and Cate were very obliging and welcoming. They allowed us privacy but were helpful when we requested any assistance. The home overlooks an amazing view of the surrounding countryside. It was very clean and a great deal of thought has gone into making their guests at home. We really enjoyed our stay with them.

An unusual opportunity to stay in really unique house & setting. Great view over town.

Alfie and Cate were fabulous hosts who went above and beyond expectation, they were friendly, interesting and knowledgeable on New Zealand and the Gisborne area. Communication was a breeze and their apartment is even better than advertised with lots of lovely extra touches. Thanks again for your hospitality.

Words cannot describe the hospitality I received while staying with Alf and Cate. Their place is truly amazing with one of the best views in town and plenty of space to feel like your home. I feel so blessed and humbled to have meet these two kind and caring people. It's safe to say I've made life long friends.

Certainly recommend this quiet location. Very handy to town. The self-contained unit is clean, lovely decor and comfortable with friendly hosts.

Jeanine couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful with information. The studio was even better than the photos suggest and they had thought of everything to make my visit as comfortable and easy as possible - from the real coffee to the cotton sheets and the hairdryer. Immaculately and stylishly presented with every detail and amenity attended to. I look forward to a return visit.

We had the primeur to stay in the brand new studio of Janine and Jel and we loved it. You've got lots of privacy to do your own thing but Janine and Jel are willing to meet people. So we had a nice conversation and some interesting tips over a cup of coffee in there nice art deco house. They are really good hosts.

Lovely place and great location to walk in to Gisborne. Hosts were great and everything went smoothly.

What a great place! We had a wonderful stay at the studio. It is very clean and has everything you need. The location is great. Walking distance to town.

A tucked away quiet corner, close to places to eat and have a drink. Private, self contained, very clean and well thought out.

Wonderful nights stay located just the right distance out of the cbd to be comfortable

Wonderful studio which is generously kitted out with just about everything you could need. Great location and walkable to many places. Would definitely recommend Janine and Jel's place!

My BEST Airbnb experience so far, Diana and Norman are a beautiful couple, who will give you way more than you would expect from any Airbnb host. Must do: Norman's MASSAGE, Diana's HEALING session and see the SUNRISE from their meditation place at the top of the hill (where you can also check out the waves of the whole Wainui beach!).

Norman and Diana are great hosts! We felt ourselves like at home and enjoy their company! Tidy room with two beds, which can be easily transform to double bed ;) Best place for those, who look for the big waves, lovely beach and lots of sun!

Norman and Diana excellent hosts. Fantastic welcome and very caring people. Communication excellent. Artists in their own rights! Quiet location, clean and warm room/home. So close to an amazing beach. The availability of organic food from their garden a real treat. Thank you

Norman and Diana are such lovely people they were so welcoming and kind. They know the area really well and gave us great advice about where to go and see. Their place is beautiful and we had some fresh fruit from the garden for breakfast it was awesome! Thanks for having us!!

Diana and Norman were very welcoming and we felt privileged to be able to share their home briefly. We were given great advice about things to see and do, beds were comfy and kitchen easy to use. Would I recommend them to my friends - absolutely.

Norman and Diana are great hosts. We were their first guests and could feel how they care about us. They offered us some homemade desserts and fruits which were delicious and also gave us a lot of information (stingray-feeding, good restaurants for lunch...). If you are looking for someone with whom you can have good conversations and even do a games-evening, this is the place to stay. Thanks for everything!

Erin and Hamish were super friendly, and so was their dog. The location is amazing, and they were happy to offer up any info we needed about Gizzy!

Lovely spot for a quiet couple of days.

Nous avons passé un court mais agréable séjour chez Erin. Chambre claire et confortable située dans une belle maison et un endroit calme. Merci à Erin et Hamish pour leur accueil et leur gentillesse.

We had a great time staying at Erin and Hamish's place, a nice spot away from it all, by the sea and just out of Gisborne. We enjoyed being able to use the kitchen to cook meals and hanging out in the dining room. Dusty the puppy was a bundle of playfulness. Thanks for the chats and for being so welcoming.

An amazing family! Very hospitable and kind hosts! Excellent location,cute and comfortable accommodation :) so close with ocean! Recommend

Erin and Hamish were very friendly and welcoming. The studio is lovely with a very elegant bed. Great seating out area with BBQ.

Erin, Hamish and the puppy welcomed us in their Beach House. Right after getting our stuff in the big room with an even bigger bathroom we jumped to the beach (2min by foot) Everything we needed was there, we felt like home and got some good tips for dining and places to go. After just two days we left (after a playtime with Dusty), sure we'll be back to enjoy this beautiful place and their great hosts

We stayed with Erin, Hamish and Dusty the puppy dog for 2 nights and had some great chats. The room was nice and we had our own bathroom. The beach with nice swell was basically just around the corner.

We were welcomed with a cold beer after a long drive - perfect. The restaurant suggestion was great and Wayne provided good information for our next destination. He was friendly, laid back and professional.

Mr Whales met us on arrival with a warm smile and a cold beer! The perfect start to a relaxing break at the beach. Whales BnB is immaculately clean and tidy, and provides everything you would expect. I highly recommend - and may even go again.

Whales was amazing, super friendly and accomadiating made us feel right at home. The house is in the perfect location and is lovely and comfortable. Go there!

Really enjoyable stay. Friendly hosts and happy to make the stay memorable. One of the best for amenities and very handy to the beach.

Great location, awesome breakfasts, good helpful hoast

Amazing location across the highway from a fabulous beach and a short drive to other fantastic beaches. Comfortable bed. Great host who gave us access to kitchen, fridge, decks, etc. Would definitely recommend!

Great location for beach and surf and access to the rest of the east coast attractions. Clean, tidy and quiet. Very friendly, knowledgeable host.

Whales - A wonderful house with amazing views onto Wanui beach( the Pacific ocean). The house was immaculate and spotlessly clean. Wayne our host was very pleasant and easygoing with useful tips and knowledge about Gisborne and the surrounding area. We hope to return again as we really felt at home in Wayne's comfortable house and he serves a very tasty delicious breakfast.

I had a great stay at Sarah's place! Sarah is super friendly and welcoming and Bear (the dog) is really sweet and fun. Would definitely stay here again!

Awesome stay at Sarah's home. Warm welcoming and kind people! Peaceful place to stay- light, quiet and all I could have expected. I do recommand this place to spend a few days - or even more- in Gisborne. Thank You again for everything. It was so nice meeting you. Wish you all the best

Sarah was a very cheerful and welcoming host. The house is walking distance from the town centre. It's a cosy villa in a quiet street. The house is furnished with an eclectic mix of furniture and this totally is my kinda thing. So if you are looking for a comfy place to put your head down without looking for luxuries this is great value. The bed was very comfy too.

Sarah is really nice. Much more than just an airbnb... I had a great time at her place, she is totally friendly ! And a pretty sweet house :)

Beatrice and Hugh's place is fantastic and clean. They are super friendly and helpful. Its a short walk to a lovely beach that is so much fun for kids -- white sand, driftwood, and lots of shells. The town is a small town with a few shops to get some basic supplies and people are really lovely here. My husband got to go on a fishing trip with Hugh and it was one of the highlights of his trip to New Zealand.

Great place to stay! Very comfortable and clean, with everything we needed!

All good, lovely welcome, great breakfast etc etc.

Our hosts are deserving of the Order of New Zealand for heritage preservation and aroha. Ticks all the boxes as a bandb. Thanks

If you fancy staying somewhere a bit different this is a great place to try. We really enjoyed our stay in the Post Office. Very spacious and well equipped and also very close to the beach. Beds were very comfy too. Would happily stay again.

Well kept well hosted place. Very comfortable and great host communication

The house was absolutely lovely. The whole family loved the little touches of history spread throughout and found it extremely spacious, comfortable and a pleasure to stay in. We were met by a very warm welcome and provided with a delicious breakfast for the next day.

Charming historic building, was a great stop in our East Coast roadtrip.

Very amazing area and with history house. Kindly owner! We thought summer should be the best season to stay.

Spacious and comfortable place in a fantastic location with very generous hospitality from hosts.

Clean, warm and comfortable place to stay. Great communication

Really nice place to stay with a quick walk across the bridge into town.

Perfect location to the shops and cafes. The caravan is so comfortable. Thank you Bethan.

Lovely private campervan with everything you need

Great bed, had a good sleep. As advertised.

Beautifully appointed caravan. Perfect for my one nights stay. Close to the main town and restaurants and bars

Everything was perfect. I have never stayed in a caravan before but thought I would try it out just cos. So cute I want to get my own lol. Honestly easy as accom arrangement even had my dad come and he enjoyed it! Clean and had everything we need as I prep my 5 meals per day and cooking was simple with all required tools avail! Thanks!!!!

Nice and cozy place. Good location if you want to take a walk to the centre. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you
