About this house rental
Tune in to the good vibes zone at Granddad’s Retro Holiday Home, where you can kick back and groove like it’s 1975!
This funky boutique pad is a total blast from the past — a time warp to when life was simple, furniture was solid, and style had flair.
Step inside and feel the mellow vibe — warm tones, bold pops of colour, and vintage treasures everywhere you look. Chill out in the lounge with comfy retro furniture, spin some vinyl on the old record player, or catch a bit of nostalgia on the vintage telly.
The kitchen’s got all the modern gear (Granddad’s not that old-school) — perfect for cooking up a feast or firing up the BBQ for a summer evening on the deck. Each bedroom has its own groovy personality, complete with cozy duvets and plush pillows for a top-notch night’s sleep.
Out back, the big deck overlooks a lush garden full of fruit trees — plums, apples, grapes, feijoas, and a few exotic surprises. After a day exploring, soak your cares away in the spa pool or get into some backyard fun with Swingball, croquet, or a game of cricket.
You’re in a cruisy spot — just a short stroll from the skate park, adventure playground, Whangārei town centre, the Hundertwasser Museum, cafés, and the Riverside Loop Walk.
Granddad’s Retro Holiday Home has soul, baby — a cool mix of old-school charm and modern comfort that’ll have you feeling right at home. So kick off your jandals, pour a cold one, and relax, retro-style.

I booked the place for some wedding guests to stay there. I didn’t meet the host or see the place myself but he made it exceptionally easy for people to check in and I heard the place was clean and a great vibe. Thank you Nick!

We enjoyed listening to the old record player, dressing up in retro gear, reading old comics and playing games from our childhood in the lounge that felt so familiar and homely. We slept well and the comfy beds. A lovely place to stay!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jan 2025
I can’t get past the disappointment of not being able use the advertised hot tub which was green and swamp smelling. And the disappointment that the owner/manager has still not replied to my private message to him about this. The main reason we chose this house.
