The Nest, Cable Bay 

Birds chirping and the ocean is all you’ll hear here. At this remote cottage in Nelson’s Coast, you won’t have a neighbor in sight while you enjoy the deck and watch the sun go down over the water. Sounds romantic right? Disconnect from everything for a while sipping some wine with someone you care about in a cozy and blissfully quiet scenario.

Pohutukawa Cottage Waterfront Haven, Cable Bay

The word haven is not an exaggeration. Immerse yourself in a paradise surrounded by gardens, waterfalls and the shore. This cottage fits four adults in the two queen beds (no children allowed, sorry) and has a spa-bath, laundry, dining and lounge areas, and a wonderful large deck with your own gas grill. You can snorkel and fish or check out the more than a hundred plant specimens on the grounds.

Catamaran SY Allure, Opua

Live your dreams of sailing by staying on a luxury Catamaran with all the comfort and luxury you can imagine. A double room with a private shower, plus a whole entire ship should be enough to convince anyone; but if you need more, the Catamaran is just north of Auckland in the port of Bay of Island Marina in Northland, so you can hop off anytime and enjoy firm land knowing you will go back to your own boat later.

Tree House Above Wellington Harbour, Lower Hutt 

No list of great places to stay should ever be acceptable without a treehouse in it. Just above Lowry Bay in Lower Hutt, Wellington, a magical treehouse for adults and children to enjoy alike sits atop the treetops. Call this place home for a while and enjoy its architectural studio vibe. Enjoy a barbecue on the deck overlooking the harbor and later take an outdoor bath. From the house, you can run all the way down to the beach.
