Family-friendly vacation rentals in Kaimarama

Sue’s place is exactly as described on the listing. Bedrooms are all generous in size and beds are very comfortable. Essentials such as salt / pepper were all supplied and we took the option to pay extra to have the linen included which was super convenient. Woolies is a 5 min walk away and also the Ostend Markets (Saturday mornings). Sue is super helpful and very responsive - I would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful home located above Onetangi with incredible views and an amazing deck to sit and enjoy the sunshine on! Full kitchen to cook in, comfortable beds, hot showers, and relaxing spa pool all made the stay so luxurious. Would recommend taking cards or a board game for evenings or rainy winter days.

Coming from a busy town, my partner and I wanted a getaway from all the noise and just the busy lifestyle that we have and the chalet was the perfect place for us to stay at and recharge mentally before getting back to reality. The privacy that you get as well as the surrounding of the beautiful nature was a bonus for us too. Definitely would recommend to those that need this kind of getaway or just a peaceful getaway in general. If you get the chance to meet the hosts, Charles and Nikki, they’re very welcoming and lovely people too!

Love love love everything about this home. The views, the animals, the conversations. Everything was like a fairytale. The fruit from the farm was delicious (even tried a new type of fruit I’d never had!), the tub was perfect for a nice relaxing soak after being at the beach all day. Will be coming back here when I visit NZ again. 11/10

We had planned to stay a few years ago but sadly Covid stopped our plans so it had been a long time coming and it did not disappoint in the slightest! The location was perfect and the house was spacious and grand yet had cosy areas to sit around the fire, all the games the kids could dream of a a chefs dream kitchen! Not to mention the spa and the wonderful bath for those of us that wanted to simply relax! We have already booked again and can’t wait! What a find xx

Amazing retreat spot with all of the amenities to rest and recharge. A wonderful place to hang out between activities and the house was its own desired destination. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Ewan’s place is even more stunning than photos can capture. The west facing deck was beautiful at sunset. Such a great location we were able to walk to the Oneroa Shops and bus around the island otherwise. It was just 2 of us staying but would be great place for 2 couples to stay as each room has own bathroom and lots of entertaining space. Bonus was the amazing comfy king size bed and loved looking through the books and CD collection. Ewan as super responsive (we booked last minute same day we checked in) and allowed late check out. 5 stars!

My friend and I had the most wonderful stay at Ngarumu Bay, just 9 km out of Thames. Coro was an absolutely amazing host—so friendly, welcoming, and easy to chat with. Her place was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The views were stunning, and Coro went out of her way to give us great local recommendations that really made our trip special. We felt right at home and genuinely didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a peaceful, beautiful spot with a lovely host!

Wow, absolutely stunning views! Mark’s place was very spacious and lots of natural light. We only stayed a night, but wished we could have stayed for the whole weekend! It’s a small stroll to the sea and a little shop that sells some delicious toasties.

Comfy beds, clean house, beautiful spot. Lots of charm. Extra special place to stay!

Set in a beautiful peaceful spot. Not your typical air b&b, well suited to the outdoorsy type

We had a fantastic stay at The Black Pearl. We loved the sea views, comfy beds and location. The house was easy to find and reach by taxi or bus, the local bowls club was great for a feed and a few drinks, and the French bakery down the road was perfect for a light breakfast before heading out for the day. It was great to have the fireplace for the chilly nights/mornings, and Kurt and Sacha were quick to respond to our messages. Overall an amazing stay and great value for money.

The Shed was cute as a button. Lots of books, games (and toys if you have kids!). It was just my partner and I plus our wee dog. Used the outside bath one night which was fun - the lights out on the deck were so pretty. Beds were comfy although I had to sleep in the top bunk as the bottom bed was a tad too small for both of us. (I like to starfish) 😂 Toilet and shower were outside of the shed (in a separate room just next to the shed). Pity it was pissing down as it wasn’t very pleasant going outside to the bathroom space during the night. However great stay, Donna was lovely and had wine and chocolate for us on arrival which was a great touch!

The house provided us a peaceful retreat from the city. Our family and friends enjoyed a pleasant stay from Paul’s lovely house! Highly recommended :)

Warren and Sandy's are just a really short walk away from Hot Water Beach. Sandy advised us on where to park before we arrived, and Warren greeted us upon arrival, showed us around and gave us tips on what to do in the area. Our little one enjoyed seeing the eels being fed in the morning too. I personally enjoyed Warren's home brew. A great place to stay!

Sharon was a friendly, informative host from the outset. The privacy of her place along with its amenities were perfect for our situation. We would not look to book elsewhere if in Whangamata again.

We had a great stay at Debbie’s! The accommodation was perfectly clean and had everything we needed for our stay.

We loved our stay at Jacqui’s apartment. The pool and spa was great, despite the weather.

The place was beautiful as described. The walk up is a bit steep if you’re not used to hills but the view made it worth it! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The condo was spacious and well equipped for a longer stay as well.

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.

Closely drivable to town for anything you may need, but an amazing view from this side of town! Perfect little place. Well kept and everything you need inside. Would love to come stay again!

A great stay in a great location. There were three generations of us in our group. The house was spotless when we arrived, very spacious, great views, good air conditioning, which we were grateful for on some very hot days. It was a short drive to Little Oneroa Beach, which was a perfect place to spend time with the grandchildren - a very sheltered bay, some big trees to provide shade. Nice coffee and great wood fired pizzas are handy there as well. Something to note- is to be careful getting out of the driveway- go right to the far side, the brown bit, before turning- as it easy to clip an exhaust on the left hand side of the car if you don’t.

Place is bigger than it appears. Beds comfy. Step free entrance. Great outdoor area undercover just in front of front door. Access to pool also just outside the front entrance. Ensuite bathroom, kitchen dining and lounge on ground level. 2 bathroom entrances to bathroom downstairs, via bedroom and via beside stairs. Approx 14 internal steps up to the 2 bedrooms and 2nd bathroom. Park right outside the accommodation. Steph at Yoga Whitianga was amazing. Instantly at my side when out of position despite I awaiting hip and knee replacement. Roze from Massage from the Heart made herself available, Monday morning but found unexpectedly we had to leave extra early. Very accommodating. Must go to Kufe Bar & Eatery overlooking the beach, sea, sky ... stunning together with the friendly service. Awesome quirky Garden Bar to go to for brekkie. Coffee excellent

Raes home was stunning and so peaceful - perfect spot to relax and unwind between wedding festivities. It had everything we needed, even local produce to enjoy. Rae was really friendly and helpful, would definitely stay again.
