Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Kaipara District

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was lovely and spacious, with a great lay out for more than one family if needed. The kitchen area was excellent , with everything you could possibly want , and all to a high standard. Everything was clean and comfortable. The outside ,with large decks and garden , was very family friendly. Barbara was very welcoming and friendly :)

The host was amazing, lighting the fire on the first night so our team walked into a warm home, comfortable beds, good kitchen, really nice and quiet, overall awesome accommodation.

We really enjoy our stay here, it felt like a home away from home. This place was exactly what we were after, very peaceful and relaxing. The views were out of this world! Would definitely be back, thank you to the hosts for making us feel right at home.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful Airbnb right on the water’s edge. The location was absolutely stunning – peaceful, scenic, and so close to nature. Our host was super friendly and full of helpful local tips. We especially loved the walk to the nearby surf beach and grabbing a morning coffee at the local campground. A perfect spot to relax and explore!

Couldn't recommend the cottage enough! Our family had a peaceful and relaxing vacation despite rain nearly everyday. We had all of the amenities needed to cook and entertain ourselves, and appreciated the thoughtfulness of Karen in sharing some toys for our 4-year old to play with while visiting. We had a rental car and found it a great location to go on day trips to the cape, the sand dunes, glow work caves, nearby beaches, and the bay of islands. We even stayed local a few days and really enjoyed walking the groves and local area down the road. The space heater and headed blankets were a welcome touch for the colder days. There were a few power outages, but they didn't last long and they were quick to check in with us and provide some flashlights in the interim. Would happily stay there again!

Had a wonderful stay at Serenity. it's even better than the photos. the stunning view just can't be captured in a shot. Very comfortable, stylish and well appointed. Michael was a great host.. friendly, responsive and accommodating. thanks!

Very friendly host, very clean and tidy inside, well stocked fridge for brekfast

Beautiful, spacious home. Lovely to come to after a big day of mahi away from home. Great facilities and appreciate the privacy/trust to just enjoy the space. Thanks!

A lovely place! I had been experiencing some stress recently, so this was a great place to come to unwind. I thrashed it out on the nearby Mt Manaia- handy being in the area! Recommended. Plus shops etc not to far away by car. Comfy bed, clean, and just generally awesome. I should have read the place name properly/ used my common sense....couldn't go kayaking because of the tide (was low in the late afternoon and morning)- my fault for not figuring that out!! Just have to come back then 😉 Thanks guys, awesome place.

Great value for money in a good location. We didn't have the best weather so the Scrabble and Netflix came in handy. Lovely big clean bathroom and well equipped kitchen, it was just unfortunate the dishwasher was broken while we were there but it wasn't a biggie. Would recommend as a central location for day-tripping in the region.

One of my staff stayed at this accommodation. Her feedback is "Graham and Lea were very welcoming and attentive hosts. Their Airbnb is cosy with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The fresh bread and home made guava jam was a bonus! Would highly recommend staying here"

Lil welcomed us on arrival and showed us the amenities and the wifi password. The beds were neatly made as well as the sofa bed. Lil recommended a couple of walks that we could do and it was as awesome as she described, when we hiked to Smugglers Bay the next day. A faulty light bulb in the main bedroom was promptly replaced. The place was very clean and we had access to everything that we needed. We enjoyed our stay and we felt right at home and welcome. Highly recommended and we will definitely stay there when we are in the region again.

Leanne was a wonderful host; excellent with communication and very helpful. The accomodation has a stunning view and is beautifully kept - comfortable, clean and just right for our stay (a two-nighter). The location was excellent; close to the city which has wonderful restaurants - of note The Quay. Highly recommended.

Second time I have stayed here. A nice relaxing place in the country. Perfect for a get away. Having a washing machine and dryer is always a bonus. Chocolates on arrival, a welcome treat. I found the bed perfect for my liking. Will be back again, as good location for day trips up to Bay of Islands and other surrounding areas.

Mark & Leone were great hosts --- very responsive, accommodating and helpful. Check-in process was simple and with clear instructions. The studio apartment was clean, comfortable, quiet and private, with amazing views and an almost private beach on the doorstep ----- a simple and wonderful place to relax!

We really enjoyed our 2 nights stay at Julie's place. The setting was beautiful and it felt like being in the middle of the bush. Julie is a very friendly and accommodating host and there were some lovely and thoughtful items she left inside the apartment, such as cookies for us and for our dog, muesli, yoghurt, milk and fresh fruit plus some dog poop bags etc. We met Julie and Dexter only briefly and would like to thank you for an enjoyable stay.
