Top Hotels Near Gibbs Bay in Gibbes from NZ$160

"What a great place to stay, the villa itself is fabulous and felt like home the second we got there. Bruce responded quickly to my pre-holiday queries and Lorraine was marvellous as our host when we arrived, knowledgeable and answering any questions speedily. The villa was well stocked, beds were comfortable and everything you need is there for you. We loved the area as near to beaches, bars and restaurants, some walkable and some by local transport, always a fun experience "

"Our stay in the Hawksbill Penthouse was an absolute dream vacation. The suite was incredibly spacious and beautifully appointed, and the photos simply could not capture the breathtaking beauty of the outdoor dining area overlooking the ocean. The pool was peaceful and relaxing, the restaurant offered fantastic food and exceptional service, and the beach was absolutely perfect. Every aspect of our stay exceeded expectations, and we can’t wait to return."

"Everything was exquisite, from the view to the room to the meals to the staff. Nothing could have been improved in my opinion. It was truly a paradise."

"Fabulous garden cottage, literally a steady 5 minutes walk to Gibbes beach or 3 minutes to Mullins beach. Well-equipped and freshly decorated, with aircon in bedroom. Everything as described and more. Looked after by the lovely Wendy but not intrusive. Hummingbirds, green monkeys, parakeets and butterflies in abundance in the amazing garden. Such a relaxing holiday - we will be back "

"Stayed here for a week in April 2026. Very clean, with easy access to West side of the island for beaches and restaurants Loved the three separate bathrooms, which worked perfect for our company. Jacqui was great and very responsive to any questions. "

"Better than the pictures and description on VRBO. Only 1 minor issue with Beach towels not completely replaced after 2nd cleaning but not a big deal."

"We just spent a week at Whitecaps with our group of 6 and had the BEST time! Yes..the property is on the older side BUT…it’s VERY clean, VERY spacious and the pictures really don’t do it justice. It’s in the most perfect location and you can hear the ocean always. The open-air family room makes it feel like you are always outside right on the beach (the pics of this especially don’t do it justice! Trust me!) And then there is the chef! Whaple is AMAZING. We have never had eggs like hers! And her zucchini boats…OMG…even our picky teen said she was obsessed. I’m not a big fish eater like some of the other adults in our party but I have never had snapper (prepared two ways) like what Whaple cooked for us. Her pumpkin fritterstoo…I could go on about her cooking. Also the yard/garden by the beach is a dream. Again, the pictures don’t do it justice. If you aren’t a “resort” person (we are not as we like to get a little taste of the local culture when we travel abroad)..this is your place. It’s not “posh” in a resort or even condo way…but it’s truly beautiful and frankly MUCH better. Thank you for a perfect week"

"beautiful home located across from beach, Transportation close . the home is immaculate and had everything you need for a wonderful relaxing vacation. The host was great making sure we were comfortable and that the stay was memorable. We will definitely want to return. "

"Unbelievable stay at a great location. 12 of us stayed here for a wedding and it was fantastic. "
