Family-friendly holiday rentals in Mangakino

Absolutely beautiful location, stunning views, pristine house, comfy bed and very private. Only thing we’d note is the hot tub is super dark around it and it has no steps to get in or out which felt a bit dangerous with having the drop around the edge. Absolutely recommend this place, we loved it and beautiful location.

Great home Water just across the road and walk to cafes easy

We had a fantastic weekend stay at this lovely 2-bedroom unit in Rotorua. The place was spotless, beautifully presented, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The private outdoor spa was an absolute highlight—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. It’s conveniently located close to the city but still peaceful and quiet. The host was amazing—communication was clear, friendly, and timely, which made everything super easy. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again

Lauren and Sam This was a very lovely place right next to the lake. Can see the lake from the bed and there is heaps of ducks. Lauren and Sam were kind and responsive while also making sure your experience was private.

Joss and Wayne, the hosts, made our stay absolutely fantastic! They were so friendly and welcoming, and the log cabin was simply stunning. We had an incredible time there!

We had a wonderful stay , everything was clean , tidy and warm , well equipped with all we needed. Spa was lovely and a good place to relax at the end of the day.

The most beautiful home. Space, style fully and equipped beyond many places I’ve stayed. Stunning, absolutely stunning location, you would never tire of the view. Hope to come again.

This has been our favourite AirBNB on our holiday. The home was very comfortable, and the kitchen had all cooking gear you need to prepare a lovely home cooked meal. The beds were very comfy, and loungeroom had plenty of seating for everyone. We used the bikes for a ride around the lake, which was so fun, such a great extra feature of the property. I would 100% book this property again. Highly recommend.

Amazing, breathtaking view. Best place for me and bridesmaids before went to my wedding at Don Rowland. The only downfall is that the dam was closed at the time, it would have been a 5 minute drive but had to go right around via motorway (20 min) but the house itself was well worth it! Had everything we needed and more!!! I would consider going again just for a normal weekend. The hosts were accommodating in every way, we had access to kayaks, best coffee machine, comfy couches and beds, clean showers, a nice bbq, beautiful flowers, awesome neighbours, parking for about 3 cars and extra blankets and towels. 10/10 from us!

Great location, conveniently located on a quiet area within walking distance to redwood forest and very short drive to city centre. The house had everything we needed for our stay. Fiona is a great host. Excellent communication throughout with great recommendations on activities. Will certainly stay here again in the future..

really good value, typical kiwi bach from the 1970s. had everything you needed including a very well kitted out kitchen with a full size fridge freezer. the pictures accurately described the place. we loved the Woodburner. our dogs loved playing outside. great for big family trips as loads of space. thanks Jacqui 😀

We had such memorable stay at Mary’s. Easy to find and so close to the lake. Beautifully decorated and so comfortable if felt like home. Mary gave us some great tips for local attractions and left us extra special treats just to make us feel welcome! Could not recommend highly enough.

This house was perfect for our small group of friends to catch up & relax. The proximity to redwoods & a park was excellent and we loved the hot spa. The kitchen had all we needed & the heat pump kept us cosy. Bedrooms were chilly so we appreciated the electric blankets.

Had a lovely stay here. House was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable, nice sheets and towels. Great to be able to bring our dog with us, fully fenced garden was perfect. Lots of board games, books and things to keep us busy on the rainy days. Tanya was lovely and met us at the door, we were given a tour and all the info we needed, including a quick rundown on the local restaurants and shops. Location was very good, close to everything but far enough away to be quiet. We appreciated being able to put the car in the garage as well. Would definitely recommend staying here 😊

What a great little spot. Felt like we were tucked away in the woods but close to everything we needed. Thanks for having us Jerry, absolutely wonderful to find a place willing to take on the 6 of us (2 humans and 4 dogs) we had a great stay. We will definitely be back

Nice place to stay while we were there for Fieldays - Clare and her family were very accommodating and helpful while we there.

Great quality accomodation. Beautiful spot. Very easy communication.

Quirky fun layout. Very practical & roomy enough for 9 guests. The kids loved that the pool was available even though it was Easter weekend. Roszarri was very helpful and welcoming.

Atiamurphy is one of the best AirBNB places we have stayed at. Service provided, Host Communication and the Location, is perfect, for me at least. kids will have a blast, parents will get their peace, and travellers will scratch that itch whilst here! Thank you to Barry for your support throughout our stay

We’ve found Bayley’s house a great place to stay for family. The plunge pool is so big and we enjoyed it very much. Everything is same as described and Bayley’s instruction is clear. So everything went smoothly, we recommend this place!

Beautifully presented home. Everything was lovely, bed, linen, bathroom and location. Wonderful host..thank you.

stunning surroundings, very private and relaxing Joe was amazing showed us around and allowed some extra visitors to visit appreciate them having us at such short notice.

I’m not quite sure where to start, as there were so many great things about this holiday home. Firstly, thanks to our host for providing such a wonderful space for my family to stay and create happy memories together. We absolutely loved our time here! The property is very well maintained, both inside and out. (I think it’s even better than in the photos). It’s spacious yet cosy, with plenty of room to spread out, as well as great areas to hang out as a family. The kitchen is an excellent size and very well equipped. Of course the plunge pool is an added bonus that we really enjoyed, especially after a busy day of activities around Taupo. We appreciated the location as it’s away from the business of central town but close enough to easily get there in a couple of minutes by car. The neighbourhood is lovely and we really enjoyed walking around it and down to the lakeside. We would definitely highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Taupo.

Lovely hosts and spotlessly clean place to stay! We were looking for somewhere near Sanctuary Mountain (only 15min away!) and being winter wanted a hot tub. Megan's home did not disappoint. Kitchenette bigger than we thought and easily accommodated the 4 of us for breakfasts. Hot tub was lovely on a chilly evening. Heat pumps in the bedrooms greatly appreciated. Would happily stay again, maybe next time in summer :)
