Family-friendly holiday rentals in Wairarapa

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.

Well appointed and clean room with ensuite bathroom, kitchenette, couch and desk. A very comfortable stay, with a private entrance and garden area. The hosts David and Kerry are amazing, they made me feel right at home from the small treats and welcome goodies they left in the room, to showing me the local sites, public transport routes, walking trails and restaurants.

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.

Diane's place is great, super house layout, great views and very peaceful.

We had the most amazing stay at the Luxury Seaside Holiday Home in Waverley! The house is super spacious and was perfect for our group—plenty of room for everyone to relax without feeling crowded. Having two kitchens and several bathrooms was such a bonus, especially with a big group. The location is just beautiful. It’s only a short walk to Waverley Beach, which has these incredible black sands—such a unique spot! We loved hanging out on the deck in the evenings, watching the sunset with a drink in hand, and the spa pool was the perfect place to unwind. There was so much to do in the house too—table tennis, darts, and loads of space for the kids to play. It really felt like a home away from home. The host was great—super responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better spot for our getaway.

Elizabeth's Air BNB just exceeded our expectations. The apartment views looking out to the sea just breathtaking. The accommodation so comfortable, yet exceptionally stylish. She certainly has an eye for detail. It was like walking into a New York apartment in the skies. Perfect for the relaxing getaway we wanted. Beds so comfortable and linen sheets an added bonus. Will certainly be back and will use the hot tub next time! Thank you.

Andy was a very responsive and proactive host which made us feel relaxed and reassured to reach out if needed. The home was as described and suited our needs perfectly. The view was just glorious and the location fantastic!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean and well equipped. Hosts very responsive, helpful and friendly. Can’t wait to come back!

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.

The place is totally beautiful and suitable for a nice getaway from a busy city life. It’s peaceful and plenty of outdoor chilling area. The interior is tastefully decorated with personal touches. And Dale is so lovely to communicate throughout and understanding of our sudden change of situation. It’s hard to find such lovely hosts in Airbnb sometimes, so we are lucky to have met her!

Good stay, was everything we needed.

Had a fantastic stay! Very peaceful location, would love to come back 😊

We enjoyed our stay at Brindle cottage. Very quiet and private. Comfortable beds, lovely linen, electric blankets on the bed was nice in the cold, wet weather. Thank you.

Thanks so much Miri, we love staying at your air bnb it's always so cosy & welcoming. I really appreciated you taking the time to put the portacot up for us which was welcome after a long car ride with 2 little ones! :) see you next time!

Wow what a fun filled family weekend away at Tinui! This location was perfect for our family of 4 and Nana and Grandad. Plenty of space for everyone and the listing is exactly as described, the fire place was perfect for a cozy afternoon on the couch. Awesome location to Tinui, golf course, pub and the panoramic Castlepoint just minutes down the road. Steve is a fantastic host and communication was always spot on! Grade A++

We like a real home that is spacious yet cosy and family would feel right at home visiting. Easy to use kitchen and bathroom. A quiet and lovely retreat in the middle of Petone centre, close to Restaurants, cafes, pubs and interesting shops in one direction and the sea in the other. Easy access to bush, sea and river in all directions. Just great.

Spacious, clean, fully stocked, great outdoor area for kids and heated pool! Whilst the above sums it up, the words don’t do it justice. This is a one of a kind grand accommodation with plenty of space and 2 bathrooms, fully stocked bathrooms and kitchen was very convenient! Heated pool was the highlight for our kids and we stayed in April, swimming 1-2 times a day! Nearly petting zoo is much better than another place just further afield. Highlight was the skate parks in the area - both Bay Skate and William Nelson Skate Park in Hastings were the hit!!!!! Orchard next door produces apples! Pets were another highlight for our children! Thank you for a spectacular stay at the manor. Ngā mihi aroha,

We had a fantastic stay at Hilary’s, the studio was so cozy but spacious. It had everything we needed and was lovely and warm when we arrived late at night as Hilary had put the heater on earlier for us. Very close to town, easily walking distance. Highly recommend to stay there

Fantastic stay at Wendy and John's property. Peaceful and private. Especially Impressed with how clean and tidy the property was. Very close to some excellent wineries. A great place to base yourself if visiting the Napier / Hawkes Bay region!

We had a great weekend away that was made even better with Neil and Heathers beautiful loft. It was warm, immaculate, lovely linen and convenient to restaurants, supermarkets and expressway for easy on and off. Fabulous 10/10 Will stay again.

Friendly hospitable host. I enjoyed the brief stay. Thank for being so accommodating

This venue was exactly what we were after. It is rustic, and cozy, and it was what we were expecting. It is dog friendly, which was great because we took our German shepherd. The bathroom is spacious and well set up. We kept our luggage there as well. The kitchenette had everything we needed: jug, microwave, electric frying pan, and outside at the wine bar a weber BBQ and an air fryer. Pete was fantastic and stocked the fridge with bacon, eggs, bread and butter, and a bottle of wine. It was incredibly thoughtful and generous of him, and we were delighted to make bacon and egg butties one cold morning! Pete also left a bag of dog treats which our girl would've devoured except she has a tightly controlled diet due to allergies. Again though, so incredibly thoughtful! Pete had also set up the brazier ready for a fire, with plenty of wood. We had two lovely evenings outside by the fire! Pete is a kind and thoughtful host, and so helpful! Would highly recommend.

This place is so well equiped and had everything we needed for our stay. The beds were comfy. The location was great, close to Hastings town center but also very peaceful. Great set up for my family with small children as there was a portacot, highchair, toys and the trampoline and spa pool were a big hit with the kids. Would definitely stay here again.

This ia a unique place with the conversion of a shearer's quarters. The external access to each room was authentic to its past. The location was private in being on a farm up in the hills but still close enough to the coast or towns if desired. Communication was great and Hannah was flexible to our change of numbers and arrival date. Margot greeted us warmly and then left us to ourselves - perfect.
