Holiday homes in New Zealand

Yes, holiday homes can be a wonderful way to experience New Zealand with more space, privacy and independence than a hotel. They work especially well in coastal, rural or scenic locations, where you can settle in for a few nights and enjoy the landscape at a slower pace.

Holiday homes are especially rewarding in places such as the Coromandel, Bay of Islands, Kaikōura, Wanaka and the West Coast, where the setting is part of the experience. We usually recommend choosing location over luxury, so you are close to beaches, walking trails, wildlife or local hosts.

Yes, holiday homes often suit families and small groups very well because they give you shared living space, separate bedrooms and more flexibility around meals. They can be particularly useful on longer self-drive routes, where a washing machine, kitchen and outdoor space add convenience.
