Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Kaiwaka

I absolutely loved everything about my stay at the Piki Cottage and can highly recommend it. It is so peaceful, private and relaxing, has everything you need, plus the hosts are so generous, friendly and quick responding. There are so many things to do in the surrounding area, or you can enjoy and explore this wonderful huge garden. I could have stayed forever. Thank you for everything!

Jean's space was the perfect place to rest my head before a volunteer trip with DOC. Walking distance to downtown and intercity bus stop, but very peaceful and quiet street. The heated mattress pad made for a very cosy night! Clean and comfortable :)

The house was beautiful and lovely location. Maris was great at communicating with clear instructions for check in, things to do in the area, how everything worked in the house and made us feel right at home. The house was tidy, clean and warming. The sauna is an awesome addition! Can’t wait to go back!

Clean, tidy and perfectly located to enjoy matakana and surrounding areas!

Raewyn is a fantastic host. She made our overnight stay just so easy. The room actually is much better than the photos. It was spotlessly clean, fresh, comfortable bed, comfortable couch and a great size TV. Very private and peaceful. Raewyn was very friendly, showed us in , and even gave us some homemade limoncello! The fridge was well stocked with milk, orange juice, chocolate, fejoas and ground coffee. We will definitely be booking again next time we are up in Mangawhai! Thankyou Raewyn for a perfect experience!

What a beautiful and peaceful place to be. It was as lovely as described and even more! It was all as described plus the things you can't always know until you get there... Spotlessly clean, comfortable, friendly neighborhood, no squeaky floors so you can get up for your morning coffee without disturbing anyone, an incredible changing landscape with the changing of the tides. Absolutely loved it!

Had a wonderful stay at Serenity. it's even better than the photos. the stunning view just can't be captured in a shot. Very comfortable, stylish and well appointed. Michael was a great host.. friendly, responsive and accommodating. thanks!

We have Grandchildren living in different areas. Waipu was the perfect halfway place to meet up for a long weekend. Darron's place was ideal for us all, especially for the Grandkids, the basketball court was well used and so nice to have the lawn to play football. I hope the boys weren't too noisy for the Neighbours when playing football. A wonderful catch up. Weather was stunning... And Darron allowed us a later check out, due to the distance in travel to pick up the boys. We would defiantly return. Cheers Darron.

This is an absolutely charming apartment to stay in and we enjoyed it immensely. Lynne is the perfect host - warm and welcoming but also attentive to our needs. There was a selection of goodies when we arrived and she baked the most amazing fresh muffins for us the following morning. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated with an inspiring collection of furniture and framed photographs. There is also a bookcase with a discerning and eclectic collection of books if you’re interested in reading- which I was. The real highlight of the apartment is the view. There is wide, expansive view of Auckland’s harbour and you are not overlooked by any of the neighbouring houses. Sitting there on the super comfy couch, with a cup of tea while looking out on the water is simply bliss. Overall, this a marvellous place to stay and simply on a higher level to many other similar apartments. We highly recommend it and will certainly come back.

Great value for money in a good location. We didn't have the best weather so the Scrabble and Netflix came in handy. Lovely big clean bathroom and well equipped kitchen, it was just unfortunate the dishwasher was broken while we were there but it wasn't a biggie. Would recommend as a central location for day-tripping in the region.

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

Lil welcomed us on arrival and showed us the amenities and the wifi password. The beds were neatly made as well as the sofa bed. Lil recommended a couple of walks that we could do and it was as awesome as she described, when we hiked to Smugglers Bay the next day. A faulty light bulb in the main bedroom was promptly replaced. The place was very clean and we had access to everything that we needed. We enjoyed our stay and we felt right at home and welcome. Highly recommended and we will definitely stay there when we are in the region again.

Lovely property. It was absolutely immaculate and the gardens and views were beautiful

Wonderful stay in Mangawhai, what a stunning spot! Perfect for a quick weekend getaway

We really enjoyed our 2 nights stay at Julie's place. The setting was beautiful and it felt like being in the middle of the bush. Julie is a very friendly and accommodating host and there were some lovely and thoughtful items she left inside the apartment, such as cookies for us and for our dog, muesli, yoghurt, milk and fresh fruit plus some dog poop bags etc. We met Julie and Dexter only briefly and would like to thank you for an enjoyable stay.

The unit is fresh and new. Very clean and well kept. The hosts are responsive to any questions and very friendly. A great base to explore from

Thanks so much for a great stay! The lady on site was so lovely and welcoming and accommodating. The best location with everything you could need or want at arms reach! My little dog loved zooming around the yard and surrounding parks/beach. Can’t wait to come back!

We loved our stay at Gay’s pool suite. The decorations were so charming, the gardens lush, the pool so fun right outside. And Gay made a bunch of garden games available to our kids which was awesome. Everything we needed was there. It was a lovely stay.

Very friendly, very tidy well looked after property

Fabulous hosts, lovely accommodation. We stayed for three nights, and all loved it including our puppy. If we didn't have to be back home for things, we would've extended our stay by a couple more nights. I'm sure we will be back again though. Thanks for the lovely stay

My family and I really love Lorraine’s dream home,everything is perfect, far beyond my expectations.The location is the best, it’s just a stone’s throw away from the beach, and there are lots of lovely bistros and a great supermarket here, you can get all the things you need.
