Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Waikato River

The house was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Unbelievable location, great host, everything we could want or need. I just wish we could have stayed longer.

Hayley has set up a beautiful place to stay. It's quiet, calming and has a homely feel to it. All the little touches (plants/candles etc) are such a nice touch to the space and everything is as is described. We are travelling from Christchurch for some training camps at the lake, and even the boys were looking forward to heading back and relaxing in the "comfy" house after the hard trainings. We were hoping to book The Barn for our 2nd training camp, but it's not available. However, we have re-booked for our 3rd and are looking forward to being back in this beautiful space :)

Wonderful place - totally recommend staying there - and would definitely return

We loved our stay on this beautiful farm. Hosts were wonderful and we really appreciated all the thoughtful touches like toys put out for our young children and friendly farm animals to meet and feed! The house was very spacious and comfortable with everything thought of.

The main house was very comfortable, and the guest house was a perfect retreat for our 14-year-old son—he absolutely loved having his own space. One of the highlights of our stay was the sunroom - stunning views and a peaceful place to unwind.

We were looking for a relaxing family trip and that is exactly what we got. Amazing views great location and was nice to have a spa for the cold days. Airbnb was also really well stocked in the kitchen and streaming services on the TV. Will definitely stay here again, quite expensive as we were only five people but would definitely be more worth it with a slightly bigger group!

Awesome place exactly as described, definitely recommend.

This is a great place in a lovely location. The house is cute and comfy with everything you need and beautiful views. The host is friendly & even provided us with local coffee & milk. An easy walk to the beach & to town. The town itself is super cute with lots of fun shops & yummy food to eat. Would highly recommend anyone stay here. We love it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lots of space, great location and the kids loved looking at the toys on the shelf! We arrived later than we planned but John still came down and showed us around. Highly recommend staying here!

This was a great airbnb with a lovely and helpful host! We had the best time.

Lovely spot, great view in a great location! Delicious cafe underneath, will definitely be staying again!

Is this little slice of paradise had to be summed up in one word.. it would be Stunning. Stu has gone above and beyond to create an aesthetically pleasing yet warm space, thoughtfully decorated and appointed. Get ready to leave your stay rejuvenated and relaxed!

I stayed at Glori’s place for a couple of nights on work trip. The place is great, good location and Glori offered some great tips on places to eat etc, she even leant me an umbrella which was kind of her. Would recommend!

A lovely and pleasant host who is willing to do the utmost for you. Very pristine and clean place. Highly recommend. Would totally visit again!

We have been using Annette's place for work stays and all of the team love it :)

This place is placed really well for easy access to the main city. Car parking is right near the entrance and there’s only 2 small flights of stairs to climb. Caitlyn was really responsive and the unit was stocked with little extras to make your stay comfortable

I really recommend staying at Barb's place, it's got everything you would need for a short or longer stay. There's lots to do in the area and Barb gave some great recommendations and helpful information. As a host Barb is the best I've ever had, fast response time, friendly and very helpful, she really goes above and beyond!

The accommodation is 11/10 with a 6 star rating for everything one needs for an escape. Modern, minimalist really private in a bustling area. We loved our stay and will return again. Thanks to Denise. Excellent comms and a few personal touches.

We had an amazing four night stay here. The apartment was excellently furnished, the location effectively on the lakefront was fantastic and the outlook across the lake to Mount Tarawera was beautiful. We could not have wished for more. Thank you Murray for being such a great host

Had a great stay place was really nicely presented and had everything we needed for a fantastic stay

Thanks for a beautiful stay. Richard was a great, friendly and responsive host. Highly recommend 😊

Mathilde's place was lovely and clean. The bed was very comfortable with extra bedding available if needed. We did put an extra blanket on the bed as it was a little chilly. The shower and good pressure and water was nice and hot. The night light came in handy as it made getting to the bathroom very easy. It was an unexpected treat to wake up to the sounds of birds and no traffic noise. Was close enough to walk to a local restaurant for dinner. The kitchen has lots of equipment if you decide to cook. Nespresso machine was appreciated for the morning coffee. We would stay again if in the area

Great place for us during the fieldays, would happily stay again :)

Short drive from the airport, Close to lots of amazing cafes, the beach, and hot pools. Fantastic views from the top of Mount Maunganui - worth the climb. Hot pools were great to soak away any aches after the climb.
