Family-friendly vacation rentals in North Shore, Hauraki

What a great place perfect for us and even room for the next time when our 3rd daughter can stay too- beautiful waterfront excellent location with a Woolworths metro literally across the road and walking distance to viaduct restaurants- in fact we walked into town it was lovely . The carpark(s) was very handy and Kim messaged us with clear instructions and her communication was exceptional. She kindly allowed us early check in and late check out which is invaluable when you have a short stay like a long weekend. Would definitely consider coming back the next time we stay in Auckland.

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.

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.

This was our third stay. Very comfortable and a great location.

George is a fantastic host, going above and beyond in his communication. He thought of everything. The space is secluded and beautiful and just as described. Would definitely stay again!

Completely met our needs, great spot. Comms excellent. Pool, spa and sauna a bonus. Would stay again

Really nice place in a great location. Very nice quiet little courtyard the place is in, and we walked almost everywhere in Auckland we wanted to go. It was great to have laundry and a kitchen at the end of a long road trip, and there was lots of space both indoor and outdoor to relax.

Understated elegance, luxury all wrapped together with threads of home, like your own home. We all love it, especially the kids. The view at night looking over the bay from the hot tub above the third level, you enjoy a view of lights glistening from the city beyond the waters of the bay below. We loved morning and evening walks to beach nearby, we loved it all. If you are anywhere in the area, stay here. You won’t regret it! Hosting was perfect; responsive when needed and invisible when not needed. “How accurately did Grace describe their place?” The picture on the website does not show the true beauty and setting of this home. The best view we found all the time we spent in North Island was from the living room here…or the bedroom here…or the hot tub here! Grace, show more pics!

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.

This was the perfect place to stay for a beautiful and relaxing long weekend. We could not have asked for anything more. Highly recommend

Feeling very refreshed after 2 lovely days spent at the magical Bethells Beach. Mary’s spot is a so peaceful, cosy and the perfect location to unwind for the weekend. Mary was incredibly helpful and kind and provided some great suggestions of the area. An extra special treat is Mary making us a yummy breakfast with eggs from her 4 local ladies and a delicious cup on coffee. It truly was a 5* stay and we can’t wait to come back.

Ian and Ailsa were fabulous hosts and their place was good for a couple nights in Titirangi. Beautiful area and close to good restaurants and walks.

I booked Emma's place for my bridal team to get ready in. Space-wise, it was perfect, gorgeous views, and amazing communication with the host. We had a slight hiccup with the microwave not being cleaned properly, but Emma was so quick to resolve the issue that it was like it never happened. 10/10 recommend!!

This place was so cozy and loved the entire vibe. Highly recommend, great place to stay :)

We stayed for a few days during the off season. Wonderful location and a very comfortable place for a couple with a young one.

i've stayed at Brendon and Sali's places a few times now and we've become good friends. They will always be my first choice for accomodation when I come back to Auckland. The Cottage is well-located to take advantage of everything The Bays have to offer.

Sarah's place was a peaceful retreat in a beautiful neighborhood setting. It featured a spacious loft with everything I needed including a comfortable bed, cozy sitting area, large desk, and a terrific shower. Very walkable to Mount Eden and the village nearby with a variety of restaurants and shops. Sarah was easy to contact and always responsive to questions. I highly recommend Sarah's place as an excellent choice in lodging if you are visiting Auckland.

Had an amazing stay ❤️ Would stay there again.

The retreat is set in an idyllic location, surrounded by lush greenery and the calming sounds of nature. Its Mexican-inspired architecture is a feast for the eyes—think hand-painted tiles, rich wooden beams, and terracotta roofs. The lush gardens that surround the property feature native plants and flowers, providing an authentic Mexican aesthetic that truly transports you to another world. The retreat feels like a private sanctuary, far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. One of the retreat's crown jewels is its stunning swimming pool, which is perfectly framed by the surrounding landscape. The pool’s waterfall is beautiful, the water is crystal-clear, making it a great place to take a dip or lounge under the sun. For an extra touch of luxury, there is also a heated spa pool that offers complete tranquility. The spa pool is perfect for a relaxing soak while enjoying the natural beauty of the area. A true gem that blends luxury, culture, and relaxation effortlessly.

Best location for Auckland CBD ! We really appreciated the convenience of the location of this spacious and airy flat. It is walkable to many places in Auckland’s CBD ! Beds are very comfy and great shower too ! We also want to thank our hosts for the quick responses and flexible check in ! Many, many thanks !

Wonderful apartment and a great location. Very clean, well maintained and equipped with everything for a lovely stay. Would go back.

Charming apartment in a great spot to see Auckland.

How an airbnb should be. Anna & Brian have created such a welcoming, peaceful oasis with all of the personal touches that make staying here so wonderful. A short drive from Auckland and you feel you're in the middle of nowhere (in the best way). A bottle of wine, homemade cake & bread, breakfast provisions (so many eggs we couldn't finish them all) topped off with a well kept tennis court, pool & spa - in a gorgeous apartment-like setting, we couldn't have asked for more. A great place to stay.

Spent our last 3 nights in Auckland at Grants place and it was the cherry on top! Beautiful place with everything you'd want to relax, no need to go out at all once you're here. Spa and Pool were exactly what we needed to help unwind on our last few nights before our flight back home. The home itself is beautiful with all amenities you could think of, air fryer, bbq, dish washers etc.. had everything we needed and more. cooked up a storm on the bbq and even did some baking! Plenty of space for a large group with the option of an additional apartment (which we didn't need) , the beds were super comfortable with all the pillows you could ask for and then some lol. Grant was super helpful and friendly, from the time we booked, checked in and checked out he was always quick to respond and checked in regularly to see how things were and if we needed anything. 10/10 will definitely be back next time we're in Auckland!
