Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Ruakākā

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was lovely and spacious, with a great lay out for more than one family if needed. The kitchen area was excellent , with everything you could possibly want , and all to a high standard. Everything was clean and comfortable. The outside ,with large decks and garden , was very family friendly. Barbara was very welcoming and friendly :)

I loved my stay at this Airbnb! The space was beautifully decorated—so stylish and thoughtfully designed with everything I needed. It felt like a home away from home. The location was perfect—quiet and peaceful, yet still convenient to explore the area. I slept so well thanks to how serene the neighborhood was. The host Karen and Craig were responsive, welcoming, and made sure I had a fantastic experience. I would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, chic retreat. Thank you for such a great stay!

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!

We have three young children and there was so much for them to do here. Plenty of toys, games, drawing supplies, dvds, a big t.v. and a playground outside to keep them entertained. Just what we needed. I highly recommend this home if you have young children. Very relaxing place to stay! Playground just down the road.

Nice bach very close to Ruakaka Beach. We especially liked the very well equipped kitchen and lounge and the big shaded terrace. Communication with Clive and his partner was easy and friendly.

We based ourselves here for a week and Chad's place had everything we needed - very comfortable beds, good ammenities, well stocked kitchen and Chad was great to communicate with.

Clean, tidy and comfortable accommodation. Excellent communication from hosts.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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!

Amazing place to stay! Rog was great, close to shops and restaurants and easy access to beach and surrounds. Definitely recommend for a long stay or weekend getaway. Many thanks Rog!
