Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Te Ika-a-Māui / North Island

Wonderful place - totally recommend staying there - and would definitely return

Don’t want to said too much yet, but we will be back soon, very soon.😁😁

Wonderful property in a beautiful part of the world. Plenty of thoughtful touches and everything you need for a relaxing escape. High quality furnishings and a comfortable bed with a view. Check-in was very easy too, we liked the electronic lock that meant we didn't have to carry a key around. Our only regret was not staying longer!

We had a lovely stay with our dogs at Hawk House. The cottage is clean, tidy and located on a beautiful quiet section - exactly what we needed for a weekend getaway!

The views are amazing, the house has everything you need, and it was lovely and clean. Just a couple of minutes drive into Coromandel Town.

A beautiful view from every room and a heated pool was great in winter! I had a birthday party here and all my guests enjoyed their stay.

Views on Top is a private, perfectly appointed stay. The views are amazing and Shona is an excellent host. If you want a calm spot to relax, this is it.

This is one of the most beautiful houses I have ever stayed in. Piecful environment, breathtaking views captured so well by the house design. Every corner of the property is an art piece. We are traveling with the family members that arrived from the USA to NZ for the first time, and they were speechless when they saw entire New Zealand beauty from one balcony. Highly recommending! Kitchen is very well equipped, rooms and beds are super comfortable. Felt like staying in s 5 star hotel, but much much better. thanks so much!

We loved every minute of our stay here in Raglan- and this ocean-view oasis was the perfect home base to relax and enjoy the scenery. The view was, of course, incredible- we watched surfers in the waves for hours. We greatly enjoyed the amenities like the hot tub and sauna, and found the location to be perfect, with just a short drive into the town with coffee shops & restaurants, and close to the beaches where we spent most of our time. We absolutely loved our stay here and hope to come back!

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.

We thoroughly enjoy our stay at Aleisha's lovely home. Heater to keep us cozy and comfortable during the cold winter, beautiful sky with full of stars during clear nights! Fast and responsive. Thanks for hosting us!

Is this little slice of paradise had to be summed up in one word.. it would be Stunning. Stu has gone above and beyond to create an aesthetically pleasing yet warm space, thoughtfully decorated and appointed. Get ready to leave your stay rejuvenated and relaxed!

5 star accommodation and location. Perfect for a stay in Paihia. Aynsley was the perfect host . We shall always seek out to stay here when visiting Paihia.

A lovely home surrounded by nature’s offerings. Muriel and Evan were kind and generous with their knowledge of the area. We loved sitting on the balcony listening to the birds and seeing the stars at night. We found it to be a great jumping off point for Cathedral Cove and Hot Water Beach. Enjoyed Luke’s Kitchen so much, just down the road, a must for a friendly meal. Would definitely recommend this beautiful sanctuary.

We had a lovely stay, complete with a tour of the farm and feeding the cattle and ducks - my kids thought that was amazing! Alison is fantastic with online communication, and was very patient with my excited children on the tour! Both Alison and Drew are lovely, and their property is immaculate. The house was well equiped with everything we needed, and very warm and comfortable. We would love to come back- especially in warmer weather so we can use the pool more!

This was such a beautiful stay! We got ourselves a little confused finding the place but once we found it, it was smooth sailing! 10/10 definitely need to stay again

I really recommend staying at Barb's place, it's got everything you would need for a short or longer stay. There's lots to do in the area and Barb gave some great recommendations and helpful information. As a host Barb is the best I've ever had, fast response time, friendly and very helpful, she really goes above and beyond!

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.

We had an amazing four night stay here. The apartment was excellently furnished, the location effectively on the lakefront was fantastic and the outlook across the lake to Mount Tarawera was beautiful. We could not have wished for more. Thank you Murray for being such a great host

Thank you for a lovely stay Katharine ! Your studio is gorgeous and was the perfect spot for RnR over the marathon. Your property looks immaculate, the garden beautiful with autumn leaves and bird song. Very easy check in and wonderful ammenities. We loved the croissants for breakfast and thoughtful touches around the home. Very comfy bed and lush linen !! The place is very homely and we loved your style ! Thank you!

The apartment was just what we needed. spacous, clean, tidy and close to the town centre.

Great hosts. The Airbnb was super comfortable and peaceful. Fantastic location near walks and the beach.

We really enjoyed our stay at Irene’s. It was great to be so close to the beach and there were lots of shops and cafes within walking distance. It’s a scenic 20 minute drive to Snow Planet is that is part of your holiday plans. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay a pleasure. Irene was so friendly, helpful and caring. We would definitely stay again.

Mathilde's place was lovely and clean. The bed was very comfortable with extra bedding available if needed. We did put an extra blanket on the bed as it was a little chilly. The shower and good pressure and water was nice and hot. The night light came in handy as it made getting to the bathroom very easy. It was an unexpected treat to wake up to the sounds of birds and no traffic noise. Was close enough to walk to a local restaurant for dinner. The kitchen has lots of equipment if you decide to cook. Nespresso machine was appreciated for the morning coffee. We would stay again if in the area
