Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Oceania

Just the most fabulous stay - better than the pictures. We were so comfortable, we couldn't have wanted for anything, Samara had it! Designed like Pinterest pics, so cozy with the fire pits and great communication with hosts. Thanks Samara!!

This was the first time we went to a Winter Holiday with the family. Elbert was ABSOLUTELY stunning from inside out. Kate has really hit the nail on the head with everything, from cleanliness, to design, to the homely feeling, all the way down to surprising us with little gifts, and snacks. I honestly don't think I will enjoy a Winter getaway without staying at Elbert, it really made our experience even more enjoyable. Will definately be back. Thank you so much Kate & Jeremy.

Kay’s cottage is gorgeous, looks exactly as the pictures do. The surroundings are something else and having access to the kayaks, paddle boards and dingy were a great assets. We arrived on a stunning Autumn day and go out onto the ocean right away.. Three bedroom are all close together upstairs and downstairs was a cosy open plan kitchen dining lounge area. The road there isn’t for the faint of heart but when you get there it’s very much worth it!! We wish we stayed longer.

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful property. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a true home—not just a holiday rental. Everything was so well maintained, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully set up to make our stay comfortable and stress-free. Ben and Tess were exceptional hosts—warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. Communication was seamless, and they went above and beyond to make us feel at home. It’s the little things that really stood out: a pantry stocked with essentials like olive oil, a lovely selection of teas and coffee, and even fresh milk waiting in the fridge. These thoughtful touches made such a difference. The decor throughout the house was absolutely stunning—stylish yet cozy, with so much attention to detail. And the views? Absolutely breathtaking. The home is in the perfect spot, with scenery that you’ll remember long after your trip is over. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it!

We absolutely loved this place! The photos don’t do it justice. It’s beautiful, calm and private. All the small touches were lovely and we felt right at home. It was a great place to escape and unwind.

Our trip to the Blue Mountains for the UTMB Ultra Marathon was made extra lovely by the wonderful stay we had at Dinesh's place. This home is extremely well set up, and had everything we needed for a really comfortable stay. The view from the back yard (the hot tub especially!) was just spectacular. The three bedrooms were all nicely sized, and having two full bathrooms was great. Our hosts also provided a range of really helpful suggestions for local restaurants, etc. - which were greatly appreciated! We loved our stay in this wonderful house, and really appreciated the thoughtful hospitality. We'd absolutely stay with Dinesh again.

I have been to several AirBnBs around the world and I know special when I experience it. Let me tell you, this place and the experience it provides is special. For one, as the other reviewers have said, pictures don’t do it justice. But the other thing that is really special is the relationships Jimmy has built with his local partners. It’s spectacular and impressive. Jimmy is clearly a wonderful human being and you can feel good about staying at his place. Take advantage of this local recommendations - Akash, Mere, Garry, Ravi. All were wonderful and made our stay super memorable. My one big disappointment is that I made plans with Dan/Danny/Rakirakidan and he didn’t call or show up which means we missed the opportunity to visit the different islands and snorkel. I got great tips from the other reviews so let me pay it forward. Ask Gerry to cook you some local seafood and request the crab. Make sure you know how eat a whole crab. Don’t wait until your last day. Eat leftovers.

The pictures don’t do it justice of how incredible the views are. The place in general is beautiful and well taken care of. I was able to see the Milky Way from the tub which was a plus. I’ll never forget waking up and having my cup of coffee to those views. It’s very private and it’s in a great location to do some hiking or the beach. I highly recommend this place, specially for families. It’s well equipped and had everything I needed for my travels. Thanks again for being super responsive and a great host, Eva!

Great stay and we would’ve booked for a longer trip for this Airbnb but our family provided for the rest of our stay. My partner and I enjoyed all the amenities especially since we had our baby with us. Besides the beautiful view and the thought out room design. It really made a difference with everything provided from the kitchen, parking, even the amenities for the beach. Jayden and his team were very responsive. We had kindly asked to check in early which I was hoping for and felt so grateful to have been accommodated because traveling with a baby is literally the Olympics. I truly appreciate him and his team!! I definitely would recommend this airbnb to my friends, family, and to the person who is reading this review!!

We thoroughly enjoy our stay at Aleisha's lovely home. Heater to keep us cozy and comfortable during the cold winter, beautiful sky with full of stars during clear nights! Fast and responsive. Thanks for hosting us!

What a gem, tucked above the cookie cutter apartments you have a thoughtfully curated nook to nestle into for your time in Queenstown. An easy walk to town and a short Uber home if the hill seems unnecessary at the end of an evening. We spent delightful hours watching the light over the lake and soaking in the spa.

We had a wonderful stay, Made was beyond helpful and responsive. He is a wonderful host, he was responsive helped with all our questions and gave us rides everywhere we needed. He was very patient with us too because we didn’t know what we wanted to do. the villa is very private and clean. They gave us all the amenities we needed. The only thing is that there wasn’t many restaurants around and it’s not too close to the main town. It’s a 15 minute drive but besides that I highly recommend staying here. Made is a wonderful person and he made our stay special.

We had an amazing stay at the 301 Penthouse. From the smooth booking process to the warm welcome during check-in, everything was seamless. The staff were incredibly accommodating and kind, which made us feel right at home. The room itself was comfortable and well-kept, and being on the rooftop added a special touch — we enjoyed relaxing outside while taking in the view of the resort. I stayed with my husband and our 7-year-old daughter, and we all truly loved the experience. What’s great is that even though you’re just a few hours away from the city, it feels peaceful and quiet — the perfect escape. At the same time, you still have the convenience of city living with nearby malls and food delivery like Grab. Would definitely love to come back again. Highly recommended!

My family did enjoy the stay at Victoria’s place. The accommodation looked exactly the same as in the pictures. Enjoying the stunning view every day and night could be a highlight of the trip! The location was convenient, within walkable distance to the Skybus station, and there was accessible transport to the tourist spots. Also, Victoria was responsive and provided help asap when we needed it. We would highly recommend this place.

Nina, thank you again for a wonderful stay, such a great location to be able to attend a family member's funeral. Your property is so magical, highly recommend as so close to ferry, transport and the view is spectacular! Thanks again!

They could’ve prepared free slippers, but the overall experience was great. I’ll definitely book the place again in the future.

Beautiful place with one of the best views in Queenstown. Excellent bed and shower. Very clean. Highly recommended

This place was absolutely AMAZING! We came here for our honeymoon and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. It was clean, cozy, and chill. It’s a great location close to the beach and decently close to town provided you have means to transportation. Sharon communicated accurately, sent all of the info we needed ahead of time, and was quick to respond when we needed her. Couldn’t recommend this place more! We’d love to try to come back someday.

Highly recommend this condo! The views were amazing and every time we walked in the door it was a treat! Endless blue ocean views. The hosts were always responsive. The only drawback was some construction noise from a nearby highrise but otherwise it was quiet. We will be back!

This place was amazing! Photos don’t do the views justice. Great location but also very private at the same time. Bonnie was also so accommodating with a flexible check in and check out which made the visit to QT that much better for our group Thank you very much for the beautiful stay!

Words fail me about the beauty of this view. The sounds of waves crashing on the beach as we fell asleep is something I’ll not forget for a long time. The pictures don’t do it justice. Walking into the condo, seeing that view, hearing light Hawaiian music playing in the background; this set the stage for one of the most relaxing weeks of my life. Close restaurants and groceries, no complicated neighborhood navigation, explicit per-feature unit instructions, local recommendations in easy reach. Everything was easy to plan through and around.

Don’t hesitate to book this place. The hosts are friendly and the photos are accurate. The best thing, however, is that this place comes with free parking, which is usually at a premium in Waikiki. Not only that, but there is also a locker with a ton of beach stuff. Boogie boards included! This was a huge bonus.

This apartment was a great stay in Waikiki. It was our 3rd time there and we really enjoyed this place. Mari was super flexible for check in and check out, which we really appreciate. The balcony is really a big plus in this apartment. The view of the beach is also stunning.

The place was great! Walking distance to some great restaurants including an awesome food truck village. Great park right across the street and incredible beaches just a short drive down the road. All the things you need to have a great day at the beach including boogie boards, chairs, towels, and even a nice wagon to carry it all it! This was an amazing place to stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy the beautiful island of Maui.
