Family-friendly holiday rentals in Upper Hutt

An absolutely gorgeous house in an idyllic spot, overlooking the Wellington Harbour. Guthrie Cottage had everything we needed, and nothing we didn't. The beds were comfortable, the central heating was amazing, and the water pressure good. The ideal location to get away from any hustle and bustle, and to be lulled to sleep by the sea on your doorstep. We had a very peaceful, relaxing stay at Guthrie Cottage - will be back!

Thank you Tania. Absolutely perfect for my daughter and I. We are country lovers so this couldn’t have been better for us. Loved looking at the horses out the window / door. Loved the sounds of the birds in the evening and the morning. I got a little confused finding the cottage at first as I went up the left driveway to the main house, not the right driveway. But was able to get hold of Tania promptly and she was able to redirect me. This is a beautiful rustic type cottage with the space really well thought out. I didn’t mind the kitchenette in the bathroom. Obviously as long as you keep everything sanitary as you use it it’s not an issue. Kind of the same situation if you were to stay in a caravan everything is close together amenities wise. Was nice and warm and super cosy. Would absolutely stay here again. Thanks so much for your kind, friendly and inviting hospitality.

Really enjoyed our stay. Everything there that we needed. Extremely clean and tidy. Loved the homely extra touches that Diane had left for us. Would definitely stay again.

Blackwood Luxury Hideaway was a perfect location for our group of 4 to stay for three nights whilst we attended a wedding in the area. Janine was super helpful in answering our pre-arrival questions and having the rooms set up to meet our sleeping requirements. The home was beautifully presented, and a lot of thought has gone into the decor / linen / kitchen utensils. The indoor spaces meant we had room to spread out and the day bed became a favorite spot for reading in the sun. The separate areas for outdoor seating where all well used to take in the stunning rural views. And the outdoor spa was a hit and had towels provided for it. The 1.5 bathrooms were very useful when your travel with 4 adults! They were lush with rain shower and beautiful amenities / towels. We would certainly stay again when we come back to visit the area. Thank you for a perfect stay.

What an amazing place, with a view even more stunning than it appears in the photo! Everyday I felt compelled to take a photo of the constantly changing scene laid out in a 180 degree panorama. Benoit was a very thoughtful and responsive host, and it was everything my family (two adults, two kids) needed for our visit to Wellington. It is a very comfortable and beautiful house, and a handy location including shops a few minutes drive away and a great cafe a few minutes walk down the path. Although looks a bit out of town on the map, it is a short and easy drive into the city. Oscar the cat was soon part of the family and our son was very sad to say goodbye!

Lovely place in a great location! Thanks Sue

Was great to have the space for a family get together. Was warm in bedrooms but needed the fire in the kitchen.

Was a lovely little place out in the countryside and was a nice break from the city life!!

Great house in a beautiful location. Excellent amenities, beautiful design, perfect for travelling with pups. A few notes: - The # of steps up to the unit might be underestimated by a factor of ~5. Not recommended unless you're reasonably fit. - The bedroom doors don't latch. There are hook-style locks provided....on the outside of the door. Not a huge deal, just means you need to shove something under the door if you want to keep the dogs from nosing their way in. - The water from the tap gets _really_ hot. This is great for some things (shaving) and less great for others (shower, dishwashing) Overall an excellent spot!

Miramar is a little gem, a lovely restaurant at hand, native bush a short walk away, there's trolls!, and a Brewery. what's not to like

Lovely stay, felt like home. Warm and welcoming. Added bonus of portable cot use and toys to entertain the kids. Has all you need to enjoy and relax. Spacious enough for my Whanau. Very responsive helpful hosts.

We loved our stay at Little 6. Rochelle is a fantastic host - she communicated well, provided clear instructions, and was super responsive. From the homemade granola to coffee pods and bottle of juice, we were made to feel welcome. Titahi Bay is an awesome location to stay when travelling to Wellington. We usually stay in the CBD but opted for Titahi and loved the local Porirua Art Centre.

This is a really great place to stay! The cottage is so peaceful and there are so many great birds around. Everything was very clean when I arrived and Clare accommodated my early morning arrival in Wellington by letting me check in early. She was an excellent host who was very responsive and kind. I recommend staying here!

Fantastic location, house was nice and warm, great coffee shop right next door, well appointed, helpful hosts. Thank you so much

We had an absolutely brilliant stay. The setting of the house is so lovely, there was plenty of room for all of us with a good variety of options for sleeping arrangements. Excellent kitchen setup (cool room is a great idea!), lots to do with swimming hole, board games, table tennis etc. Shenagh provided excellent detailed instructions and was really responsive to my questions - we knew exactly what we were getting.

A great, secluded, but conveniently accessible spot. Parking was simple on a quiet street. Close to Barden Gate for diving and cycling missions and just a short walk to the wharf to catch the ferry to Wellington CBD. Perfect for what we wanted, will definitely look for this place again when we visit next.

Absolutely stunning house first time in Martinborough and we enjoyed every minute of it. It was picturesque and luxurious and worth the amount we paid for it. The hosts were amazing and made sure that our stay was very comfortable and that we had no issues. Would highly recommend this stay to anyone that is looking for a quiet weekend away. The location was amazing as well as it is very close to a lot of the wineries.

Lovely place to stay! My whānau and I really enjoyed it… the setting is just gorgeous, so quiet, picturesque, and tranquil. The studio is compact and well equipped. We didn’t realize the queen bed is in the living space but it wasn’t a problem. Our daughter slept in the kids room and enjoyed having a “big girl bed” (bunk bed) all to herself. She loved the chickens too. Close to Patuna archway and Martinborough cycle tours. Would definitely recommend. 👍

Loved our stay ! Grant (and Ollie) were super friendly and looked after us excellenly. We all ejoyed the pool and spa pool - especially the pool toys and sun lounges. The views were stunning and was the perfect county escape for our small family. Highly recommend staying here !

This was a great stay. Everything you need for a comfortable home away from home feel. The high hedges give extra privacy and the shared heated pool and added bonus. Highly recommend Thanks

This home was ideally located for a short walk to town and provided ample rooms for parking. It was surrounded by beautiful hedges for privacy with a great outdoor area. The home was comfortable and provided us each with our own space . The extra facilities in the complex, particularly the heated swimming pool made our stay more enjoyable. I would have no hesitation in recommending this stay to my family and friends.

A great stay at Blairs place, perfect location within a short stroll to the Main Street of Greytown. Even though the pool house itself is on the same premises and in quite close proximity to his home it felt private and was no issue with coming and going throughout our stay. The pool looked stunning although we didn't get time to swim in it, the pool house itself was big and spacious, and was warm and cozy with the heat pump and had everything my friend and I needed for our girls weekend away.

We stayed 2 nights at Jan and David’s place over a long weekend, while we explored the area and visited Kapiti Island (for the first time, it was great). The accommodation was exactly what we were looking for. Stylishly presented, very comfortable, an excellent ensuite (great shower). Jan and David were excellent hosts - very obliging ang welcoming. Would stay there again and recommend their place.

Spacious quiet property with good amenities set in private subdivision.
