Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Whangārei

Immaculate lil getaway. A place to die for! You wouldn’t believe how happy my little ones were when arrived. This beautiful spot was one of those place’s we did NOT want to leave. It was super cosy, refreshing and peaceful. The views are absolute perfection to take in, watching the sun set and rise was a definite highlight. I loved the layout and it felt exactly like a home away from home. There are no other words to express how thrilled my family and I were with our stay. Honestly wished we had extended it, but we know for sure we will be back. Thank you so much for being a wonderful host Anne, until next time!

We really enjoy our stay here, it felt like a home away from home. This place was exactly what we were after, very peaceful and relaxing. The views were out of this world! Would definitely be back, thank you to the hosts for making us feel right at home.

This is beyond a 5 star stay. Steve and Silv's place was modern, with esthetics and modern touches that pleases the eye, even in the smallest places. You are situated in such a secluded, private area, with too tier amenities like a fire pit, hot tub, and pizza oven (They even gave us fresh pizza dough!). We even got to feed their alpacas which is such a crazy experience! The sunrise and sunset views are magical. Steve and silv have an oasis here, with multiple things that you can do right as you step foot out of the property. They even have a wood shop with stunning items. Thank you Steve and Silv, we'll be back soon, I'm sure anyone reading this will say the same after they experience the magic!

Perfect place, easy relaxing atmosphere

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful Airbnb right on the water’s edge. The location was absolutely stunning – peaceful, scenic, and so close to nature. Our host was super friendly and full of helpful local tips. We especially loved the walk to the nearby surf beach and grabbing a morning coffee at the local campground. A perfect spot to relax and explore!

Couldn't recommend the cottage enough! Our family had a peaceful and relaxing vacation despite rain nearly everyday. We had all of the amenities needed to cook and entertain ourselves, and appreciated the thoughtfulness of Karen in sharing some toys for our 4-year old to play with while visiting. We had a rental car and found it a great location to go on day trips to the cape, the sand dunes, glow work caves, nearby beaches, and the bay of islands. We even stayed local a few days and really enjoyed walking the groves and local area down the road. The space heater and headed blankets were a welcome touch for the colder days. There were a few power outages, but they didn't last long and they were quick to check in with us and provide some flashlights in the interim. Would happily stay there again!

Was a very great place to stay and had extremely accommodating hosts! Would recommend this place to anyone I know without hesitation! A++

Very friendly host, very clean and tidy inside, well stocked fridge for brekfast

Lovely one night stop off, Hayley’s place was really cosy and comfy with lovely personal touches! We would definitely stay again if we were in the area!

A lovely place! I had been experiencing some stress recently, so this was a great place to come to unwind. I thrashed it out on the nearby Mt Manaia- handy being in the area! Recommended. Plus shops etc not to far away by car. Comfy bed, clean, and just generally awesome. I should have read the place name properly/ used my common sense....couldn't go kayaking because of the tide (was low in the late afternoon and morning)- my fault for not figuring that out!! Just have to come back then 😉 Thanks guys, awesome place.

Well I must say in our opinion, this is the best spot in Mangawhai Heads, beautiful views from the unit of the beach in front. The unit is awesome, with everything you need. We stayed as a couple, but the unit has room for a family. Easy access to beach and short walk to surf beach and walking trails. Paul was excellent to deal with, great communication and direction Thanks again

One of my staff stayed at this accommodation. Her feedback is "Graham and Lea were very welcoming and attentive hosts. Their Airbnb is cosy with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The fresh bread and home made guava jam was a bonus! Would highly recommend staying here"

Leanne was a wonderful host; excellent with communication and very helpful. The accomodation has a stunning view and is beautifully kept - comfortable, clean and just right for our stay (a two-nighter). The location was excellent; close to the city which has wonderful restaurants - of note The Quay. Highly recommended.

Second time I have stayed here. A nice relaxing place in the country. Perfect for a get away. Having a washing machine and dryer is always a bonus. Chocolates on arrival, a welcome treat. I found the bed perfect for my liking. Will be back again, as good location for day trips up to Bay of Islands and other surrounding areas.

Mark & Leone were great hosts --- very responsive, accommodating and helpful. Check-in process was simple and with clear instructions. The studio apartment was clean, comfortable, quiet and private, with amazing views and an almost private beach on the doorstep ----- a simple and wonderful place to relax!

Great place to stay - the views are amazing! Everything was easy to find and loved the little instructions throughout the place - didn't have to 2nd guess on how anything works! I also really appreciated the place being reheated for our arrival! thank you for a great two days! would stay any time again and recommend highly to others!
