Family-friendly holiday rentals in Te Ika-a-Māui / North Island

Perfect location for relaxing and switching off. Beautiful views House was incredible!

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.

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.

What a fantastic house to stay in, it really feels like you are in Italy. It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. It was lovely to have the open fire for the colder nights and the well setup outside area for the warm sunny days. There were heaps of activities and games to play. We loved our family stay here.

Stayed with Merrill for only a night but she made me and my daughter feel very welcome. Very friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend staying here!

Carly’s place is beautiful ! The house is very spacious and clean. Kitchen is very nice and has all the basic things that you need. The views were beautiful and we could spot the deers from the deck it was magical. Would absolutely recommend! We had a amazing stay

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!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the KatiKati Kiwifruit Cottage. It's always great to explore regional areas, particularly when travelling overseas & it was a breakaway from traditional hotels which can all become very same/same. Thank you, Christine & Fred for welcoming us into your space.

Beautiful location and sea views with access through 2 gates taking you to the rocky bay. Huge fully fenced yard great for our dog Judge and our 3 year old son. The chest of games and toys went down a treat for both and the 3 bdrm house had everything we could need for a weekend get away. The house was also lovely and warm AND we could see the mountain from the entrance way. Would definitely come back again. Thanks for having us, great hosts!

Great wee Bach. Clean and tidy with everything we needed. Nice outdoor areas. Kai Iwi beach fantastic to explore. Lots to do in Whanganui. Enjoyed our stay. Hope to come back and enjoy beach in summer.

I booked Emma's place for my bridal team to get ready in. Space-wise, it was perfect, gorgeous views, and amazing communication with the host. We had a slight hiccup with the microwave not being cleaned properly, but Emma was so quick to resolve the issue that it was like it never happened. 10/10 recommend!!

What a beautiful space. If you a looking for a fantastic holiday home for a couple or small family this is the place to be. Right across the road from the beach. So tidy and warm very clean. Mark was amazing! We enjoyed our stay and will be back for sure!!! Thanks for making our trip to Ohope special.

Great location with amazing view. Modern house with everything you need. Really liked the fully enclosed yard, very safe and private. Beautiful sunny spot on the doorstep of so many great things to do and see. Very convenient access to shops for essentials. Highly recommended Marks place and Coopers Beach for a great family holiday.

Such a gorgeous place to stay! Nick & Judy are lovely and welcoming and The Pavilion is warm, cozy and comfortable. Dog friendly and close to village. We’re definitely going back! Thanks for such a great stay.

We loved the dinner by Gina. Our stay was short but we enjoyed the cottage and the farm animals.

What an easy stay with little ones ! Thankyou Martin

Mark’s AirBnB is an experience rather than a stay. Is a combination of coastal rural Nz right on the doorstep (short boat ride away) from a bustling town Raglan where there are 5 star restaurants, super markets and everything you would need or expect. And the accomodation itself is nestled on a cliff top with 180 views of the harbour and if Raglan. Private, the feeling of seclusion and neighbour free - the best of both worlds made better by a host that balances your needs with respectful distance. Make a pizza in the wood fired oven and then warm your bones in the spa boat and arching the harbour u til the sun melts away listening to birds evening song. We can’t wait to head back and hopefully catch the big uncle of the 12 lb snapper we caught in the raglan harbour!!! Outstanding place.

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

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!

Excellent👍The heating in the room is very comfortable! I really like this house.

We had a great time staying here during our family’s visit to Rotorua. Joe was extremely communicative and helpful, ensuring it was easy for us to get into the house and had everything we needed for our family of young kids. We loved the location and the beautiful views and hope to be back to take advantage of all the wonderful amenities!

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

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!

This was our second visit to Atatu and we weren't disappointed. This is a truly beautiful place to stay. The house is fantastic with every facility you could possibly need. A place for total relaxation with pool, spa and space. Beautiful countryside and the sounds of nature on your doorstep. Panoramic views across rolling hills of olive and pine nut trees out to the ocean beyond. If you like to cook then you'll find everything you need in the well appointed kitchen. Lots of dining space both inside and out. Basia is the ultimate host. Informative, helpful, proactive, doing everything she can to make sure your stay is perfect. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return a third time next year.
