Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Waimārama

Fantastic stay! Tania was a very friendly host, and the home was clean, stylish, and comfortable. Would highly recommend to everyone visiting Havelock North or nearby. Thanks very much.

This was our second stay and was just as excellent as our first visit. We were 2 couples and the villa worked perfectly for us.

Have stayed here before and it’s always a pleasure. Great communication, very accommodating. The place is spotless, quiet and handy to everything you need. Highly recommend the hosts and studio

Great accomodation. A colleague and I were working in Hawke’s bay for the week. Good sized kitchen. Dining table that doubled up as a desk. Comfortable beds. Just wish it was warmer outside so we could have used the pool!

Fab spot right in the heart of Havelock North. Super cosy, warm and had everything we needed. Amazing location for families — literally across the road from an epic playground, which kept the kids happy! Lovely, welcoming hosts too. Would definitely stay again.

We had a fabulous stay at Denise's place. Denise went the extra mile. She checked our arrival time and had the heater was on when we arrived. When we locked ourselves out of the house she was in edibles prompt and opened the door. We loved the sun in conservatory aim the morning for breakfast and the outlook over the park. We had everything we needed.

Fantastic location & views! What an amazing spot 👌🏻

The lodge is quiet and has a stunning view of Napier. Anne's instruction was very helpful for us to find the place. Check-in was easy and flexible. The lodge is very clean and spacious. The kitchen is fully equipped. The fireplace creates a very cozy ambience at night. We had a lovely time there and highly recommend the Otatara lodge for anyone who enjoys some quiet time away from the city.

I absolutely enjoyed my stay in Napier. The accommodation was cosy and clean, and a walkable distance to the nearby restaurants and shops. Kerry was such a responsive and kind host throughout my stay. I definitely recommend!

Keri’s place is right in the center, with the pedestrian street just downstairs—super convenient. The room is very clean, and there’s a charming little balcony where you can enjoy a coffee while watching the crowds. The kids loved it too.

We had a lovely stay in Napier, Jennifer was a lovely, friendly and responsive host, and the AirBnB was so homely when we walked in. It’s also only about a 25-30 min walk to the main strip in Napier if you walk along the waterfront, so that was perfect for us. Would definitely stay again.

Great stay, good location and place is exactly as described/as expected. Thank you!

Awesome spot super handy to the Napier CBD. We really enjoyed our stay here

Julianne’s property is perfectly situated to walk to the CBD and to make the most of the waterfront walkway. The garage is an added bonus. A comfortable space with beautiful views out to the coast. Great for watching the sunrise.

gorgeous space and lovely host! so relaxing and peaceful ✌️ small touches was extra touches 😌 just gold❤️

Lynne was very easy to communicate with, nothing was a bother even when we changed the dates of our booking, clear instructions, property just like the pictures, would recommend.

Had a great stay at Jane’s fabulous apartment. Lovely views over the marina and decorated beautifully. Lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance. Would highly recommend!!

Came down for the Hawke’s Bay half marathon and this was the perfect home for the weekend! Cozy spot right in the centre, great to have a private parking spot and walking distance to stores, restaurants and the waterfront. Felt right at home the moment we walked in (powerades and chocolates were a very lovely welcome🥹), very clean and comfortable, had everything we needed. Only thing is to note is the faint party noise that goes till late at night but otherwise a very pleasant stay and would recommend😊

Carol and John are the perfect hosts. Happy to chat and communicate with all aspects of the stay. The place itself is a lovely, spotless and quite place with the sound of nature greeting your mornings ☺️. Will stay again.

Highly recommend!! Karina is so friendly, helpful, and makes you feel you right at home as soon as you arrive. Clean apartment, with all amenities you would need for a few nights stay. Great size for 2 couples and dog. Great location also, within walking distance to great restaurants and a short drive up to Te Mata peak walk. Thank you for having us!

This is our second time here and very happy that we were lucky enough to be able to book it. This place is absolutely fabulous, decorated with impeccable taste, super comfortable, super clean and it has a beautiful garden to look at and our host was just amazing. It is by far our favourite AirBnb.

Michelle's place was a lovely place to stay. Michelle was great at communicating. Thanks so much.

Leanne was great! she has a beautiful house right in the middle of the city and walking distance to everything. couldnt have asked for a better place than this for our time away. Definitely recommend the place!

Gabby's place was my favourite that I stayed in on my recent roadtrip. She was such a naturally welcoming and friendly host, and she has such a beautiful home. She was very responsive to messages, and helpfully recommended activities and places to eat in the area. The room, while road-facing, is quite quiet at night, and the house is located just one street back from Marine Parade, so right by the seafront. It's an easy 10-15 minute walk to the National Aquarium, and there is lots to see while walking along the seafront. Gabby provided a thoughtful breakfast each morning I was there, and was very flexible with my check-out time on my last morning. There is on-street parking available in front of their house, there is a dairy right next door, and the whole area feels very safe. I would definitely recommend Gabby's place, and would stay again if I ever go back to Napier!
