Looking for a getaway but not sure what your options are? We’ve handpicked a few holiday homes at varying distances from Auckland to help inspire you to hit the road.

1. Waiheke Island – Less than 1 hour!

Okay so you might still be in Auckland, but we promise it feels like you are a world away…

Bach on the Bay, Waiheke Island. PID1072304

Bach on the Bay is surrounded by tropical and native bush with the ideal indoor-outdoor flow to enjoy this summer. Plus if that isn’t enough – you can even bring your dog along for your close-to-home escape

Right distance, not quite the right spot for you? Check out more Waiheke Island Holiday Homes here!

2. Raglan – 2 hour drive

Keen to get at least out of the Supercity? Just a 40-minute drive West of Hamilton, Raglan is a surfer’s paradise with a truly relaxed vibe, full of quirkiness and character. 

The Big Round Window, Raglan. PID: 5033

Picture yourself in the hammock or relaxing inside looking out The Big Round Window over the Raglan Coastline – plus you’re only 30 seconds from the water edge for a swim.

Right beachy vibe, different setup? Check out more cosy coastal spots in Raglan here.

3. Tairua – Approximately 2 hour drive

What Aucklander hasn’t dreamed about a Coromandel holiday this year? One spot we’ve been dreaming about is Tairua – the perfect spot for exploring the east coast and its offshore islands.

Manaia Beach Retreat, Tairua, Coromandel. PID: 1064548

While there are plenty of places to choose from – Manaia Beach Retreat is modern, bright and ready for making memories.

4. Lake Tarawera – 3 hour, 20 minute drive.

A 20 minute drive from Rotorua will take you to the stunning landscape of Lake Tarawera.

The Lakeside Escape, Lake Tarawera. PID: 4107

The Lakeside Escape is the perfect set-up, right by the lake kitted out with kayaks, pizza oven, hot tub, ping pong table and more! It’s the ideal place to relax for a week or two over the summer with the family.

Looking for a different Lakeside? Check out everything in the region here.

5. Hawkes Bay – Approximately 5 hour, 40 minute drive.

While it’s a bit further away – Hawkes Bay is well worth the drive. Not only does it boast gorgeous Art deco buildings in Napier – it’s also world-renowned for its wine and having the world’s largest mainland gannet colony!

The Verandah, Hawkes Bay. PID: 1087291

Built in 1901, The Verandah is the perfect mesh of traditional and modern. Bright and spacious, it’s an idyllic place to relax and soak up some rays.
