Family-friendly holiday rentals in Coromandel

Coming from a busy town, my partner and I wanted a getaway from all the noise and just the busy lifestyle that we have and the chalet was the perfect place for us to stay at and recharge mentally before getting back to reality. The privacy that you get as well as the surrounding of the beautiful nature was a bonus for us too. Definitely would recommend to those that need this kind of getaway or just a peaceful getaway in general. If you get the chance to meet the hosts, Charles and Nikki, they’re very welcoming and lovely people too!

Beautiful home located above Onetangi with incredible views and an amazing deck to sit and enjoy the sunshine on! Full kitchen to cook in, comfortable beds, hot showers, and relaxing spa pool all made the stay so luxurious. Would recommend taking cards or a board game for evenings or rainy winter days.

We spent 3 busy months traveling across New Zealand with our baby and we had the privilege of staying at Anne’s for our very last week. It was a week in paradise: an incredible view of farmland and mountains, songbirds galore, a beautiful citrus orchard and two incredible hosts who welcomed us like family. The place was spotless and so nicely decorated, generously equipped with everything you need. We had lots of room for our bub, whether for playing, eating or sleeping. The outdoor tub was a real treat, both for baby bath time and for stargazing at night! Anne went out of her way to make us feel at home and was so generous with our little one. He got to meet and feed farm animals and spent lots of time enjoying their swing. The location was ideal for a peaceful retreat, yet central for discovering the peninsula’s east coast. For hikers wanting to go off the beaten path, there are accessible tracks nearby. Staying here meant soaking in NZ’s best before heading home!

Love love love everything about this home. The views, the animals, the conversations. Everything was like a fairytale. The fruit from the farm was delicious (even tried a new type of fruit I’d never had!), the tub was perfect for a nice relaxing soak after being at the beach all day. Will be coming back here when I visit NZ again. 11/10

We had planned to stay a few years ago but sadly Covid stopped our plans so it had been a long time coming and it did not disappoint in the slightest! The location was perfect and the house was spacious and grand yet had cosy areas to sit around the fire, all the games the kids could dream of a a chefs dream kitchen! Not to mention the spa and the wonderful bath for those of us that wanted to simply relax! We have already booked again and can’t wait! What a find xx

We will be back for sure! Absolutely delivered what was on the tin. To others thinking glamping is seasonal, it was toasty as anything and outside there's a an outdoor fire and a hot tube - sublime. Kids loved feeding the animals and discovering nature. Thanks for everything!

Ewan’s place is even more stunning than photos can capture. The west facing deck was beautiful at sunset. Such a great location we were able to walk to the Oneroa Shops and bus around the island otherwise. It was just 2 of us staying but would be great place for 2 couples to stay as each room has own bathroom and lots of entertaining space. Bonus was the amazing comfy king size bed and loved looking through the books and CD collection. Ewan as super responsive (we booked last minute same day we checked in) and allowed late check out. 5 stars!

My friend and I had the most wonderful stay at Ngarumu Bay, just 9 km out of Thames. Coro was an absolutely amazing host—so friendly, welcoming, and easy to chat with. Her place was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The views were stunning, and Coro went out of her way to give us great local recommendations that really made our trip special. We felt right at home and genuinely didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a peaceful, beautiful spot with a lovely host!

Comfy beds, clean house, beautiful spot. Lots of charm. Extra special place to stay!

Set in a beautiful peaceful spot. Not your typical air b&b, well suited to the outdoorsy type

The view from this property is absolutely breathtaking, making for an unforgettable stay. The host was fantastic—warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local area. Their tips and insights really enhanced my experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for stunning scenery and excellent hospitality!

The Shed was cute as a button. Lots of books, games (and toys if you have kids!). It was just my partner and I plus our wee dog. Used the outside bath one night which was fun - the lights out on the deck were so pretty. Beds were comfy although I had to sleep in the top bunk as the bottom bed was a tad too small for both of us. (I like to starfish) 😂 Toilet and shower were outside of the shed (in a separate room just next to the shed). Pity it was pissing down as it wasn’t very pleasant going outside to the bathroom space during the night. However great stay, Donna was lovely and had wine and chocolate for us on arrival which was a great touch!

The place was very accommodating, and Ngaire was really kind. The location was great with a beautiful view, making the stay very relaxing. Overall, it was a lovely stay!

Warren and Sandy's are just a really short walk away from Hot Water Beach. Sandy advised us on where to park before we arrived, and Warren greeted us upon arrival, showed us around and gave us tips on what to do in the area. Our little one enjoyed seeing the eels being fed in the morning too. I personally enjoyed Warren's home brew. A great place to stay!

Sharon was a friendly, informative host from the outset. The privacy of her place along with its amenities were perfect for our situation. We would not look to book elsewhere if in Whangamata again.

Thanks Clive and Hillary for the stay. Epic location for us, cosy and comfortable, everything we needed. Fantastic info provided. Super easy and fast communication with the flexibility we needed. Thanks again.

Great quality accomodation. Beautiful spot. Very easy communication.

Really enjoyed out stay. Fantastic location and a great sized apartment. The kids loved the pools and it was super convenient to have the use of 2 car parks. Thanks for having us and sorting out a porta cot. We'd love to come and stay again :)

My partner and I had a wonderful weekend stay. The place was incredibly quiet and private, perfect for a relaxing getaway. We really appreciated the lovely personal touches that made our holiday feel extra special. Everything was clearly prepared with care. Check-in and check-out were seamless, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’d absolutely stay here again.

Awesome wee modern cottage only about 5 minutes from Kati Kati township. Would happily stay again.

Great spot. Sue and Stephen provided milk as well as tea, coffee and snacks. Much appreciated.

Beautiful stay. Excellent host. The animals were so lovely too. See you again soon 😊

My husband, my friend and I very much enjoyed our stay at John’s place. It was as described, situated conveniently near both the beach and town. Especially appreciated was a second bathroom. John responded promptly to a query or two and offered helpful suggestions. We would definitely recommend his place and would stay there again.

Such a lovely place where you can find everything that you need (and that’s totally rare). Super comfortable and well-equipped! It’s very well located with stores around the corner, the beach nearby, and easy access to explore the whole area in coromandel. Highly recommended!
