Family-friendly vacation rentals in Ahipara

We thoroughly loved our stay at this luxurious villa. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for that something special! Joe and Robert were very welcoming and gave us some good local tips for the area.

Although the weather wasn’t great, our stay was lovely. Peter and Jacqueline let us know right away that the spa was broken but that they were working to get it fixed as soon as possible. They even brought us chocolates to make up for it. We were very happy to get to use it on our last morning. The view was fantastic!

We had a wonderful stay at Ryan’s place! The house is truly special — full of character and charm, with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The highlight for us was definitely the pool — the kids absolutely loved it and spent hours splashing and playing. Ryan was a great host, responsive and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend this home for families looking for a fun and memorable stay!

I loved staying here so much. So beautiful, right on the beach, can't ask for better than that. The view from the deck and inside was so nice. You can hear the waves inside the unit. The cable bay store is very close. Such a lovely place in the far north. I would love to stay here again.

thanks very much for having us, greatl host and thanks very much for the book our grandchildren will love it. Would definitely come back again Dennise and Quinton

We came up from Auckland for a wedding & the property was local to everything The property was great and both Rob & his wife were lovely. We barely seen them so we decided to go say hello down at their Phat House bar in haruru. We had a couple of nephews come and visit while we were up aswell . Catching up with whanau and coming back to relax there was lovely .

Loved every minute of our stay. The scenery is captivating as the houses are nestled at the base of Orowhana, facing directly towards Te Kohuroa. The hot tub was a hit, we kayaked, made pizza, enjoyed the fruit trees and fire place. Hamish, te kaitiaki, was very accomodating and helpful. The beds are comfy, and the kitchen has everything you need. Also loved that every wharepaku had bidets! I could spend weeks, months or even years here haha. It has all the things you need for an incredibly rejuvenating glamping/retreat. We will definitely be back.

Lovely accommodation, nice bed, quiet surrounding and very convenient, thanks Jan!

An amazing location with absolutely stunning views of the harbour. Well equipped. Lovely deck. A short but steep walk is well worth the effort for a relaxing drink watching the harbour. Non members welcome and great food. Some stunning beaches nearby for Ollie’s dog walks. Julia was very responsive to our messages. Highly recommended.

This was a great stop on our way to Cape Reinga. Sorry we couldn't stay longer as there is so much to see and do nearby. Certainly worth a couple of nights if you can...

Chris and Garth were kind, responsive and welcoming hosts. We booked short notice and they had the room ready early and even thought to make up the extra bed when they learnt I had a teen travelling with me. The space itself is lovely. It is bigger than it appears in the photos, and is extremely well equipped with entertainment, full sized furniture for just a couple or a small family, and the most beautiful gardens to relax in. The bnb is set well away from the house, so it feels private, and the garden setting makes everything feel so tranquil! Location is 10/10 and if you have a fur baby travelling with you, it will be well taken care of too! Ours loved exploring the gardens as well as the beautiful local walks along the river. We are excited to make a yearly trip back to this accomodation.

Good spot Nice chill out spot out the back

Great location with amazing view. Modern house with everything you need. Really liked the fully enclosed yard, very safe and private. Beautiful sunny spot on the doorstep of so many great things to do and see. Very convenient access to shops for essentials. Highly recommended Marks place and Coopers Beach for a great family holiday.

We loved our stay at Grants place. The house is on the most peaceful street with the beach and a sand dunes walk right next door. We loved watching the sunrise from our bedroom. The kitchen was fully equipped and we made delicious meals and ate on the deck with a view. Clean and spacious throughout. We had many things to see in the north and this was a great location to do so and the recommendations from Grant were great. What a gem location! Grant was great to deal with from beginning to end and the price can’t be beat. I highly recommend this lil slice of paradise to anyone coming to see the north or just anyone looking for a peaceful holiday.

If it were possible we'd give this place 10 stars! You won't regret staying here, at your own private slice of Taupo Bay paradise. Whether you're just a couple or with a big group of friends, Gary and Debbie's place is perfect for you. Brilliant communication from area experts. We hope to be back soon 😊

We had a truly wonderful stay! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome that made us feel right at home. The fridge was thoughtfully stocked with essentials (and a few treats for the kids!), which was such a nice touch after a long journey. The interior of the house is beautiful—clearly decorated with a lot of love and attention to detail. It felt cozy yet stylish. Many sites are within easy reach (most within 2h) but Karikari Peninsula itself has so much to offer that you truly don’t need to leave (from stunning beaches to scenic walks). With the beach on our doorstep, the kayaks and SUPs were a highlight and kept us entertained for many hours in the ocean. We also experienced a brief blackout during our visit, and Fleur went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. It was reassuring to know we were in such good hands. Overall, an amazing experience—cozy, welcoming, and full of thoughtful touches. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay – the house was perfect for our group, with plenty of space and a great layout. It’s well-equipped, beautifully located, and the views are stunning. Despite the wild weather, it was a relaxing place to unwind. We were lucky with sunshine on our last day and made the most of the lawn, trampoline, and pool. The house isn’t a show home and could use a refresh in places, but it’s comfortable, homely, and ideal for groups. Communication was easy and everything was as described. Would absolutely stay again – I bet it's even better in sunny weather!

Spacious accommodation with a private terrace and facing the orange trees. We received a warm welcome and a great handbook with recommendations is provided. There are friendly dogs and three cute pigs that you can feed and that sit on command. It got a bit chilly at night, but there are enough blankets and the bed was very comfortable.

Immaculate presentation in a simply stunning location. Fantastic hosts and complete privacy and seclusion. Whangaroa is a hidden jewel, off the beaten track, with plenty of great activities close by. Highly recommend to stay and play at Kauri Hill.

The stay in the beautiful apartment, situated in a unique orange orchyard, was lovely. It is a clean, well equipped, modern apartment and it is very quiet with a lot of privacy. Its is quite close to the town centre and there are a lot of beautiful walkways, waterfalls and historic sites in the surroundings. Claes and Inga are very hospitable people, giving us some fresh fruits as we arrived. We loved our stay and we can highly recommend the apartment.

Ideal for our group of golfing guys looking for a comfortable house with individual beds and close to all local amenities. Awesome outdoor area to have an end of day catchup before walking into Paihia for dinner. The next time we head north we will want to stay here again.

Fantastic stay! The hosts were super lovely to deal with and had lots of friendly animals as well. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. Nice and peaceful and quiet, overall we had a very enjoyable stay.

this was a fantastic stay especially when it was last minute due to a storm. it was easy to book, mark was accommodating with a drink on arrival the property itself was so clean and had everything we needed. highly recommend

I booked this accommodation for my colleagues, and they loved it. It was the perfect place for what they needed while working away from home. A lovely and cozy spot with beautiful, peaceful surroundings and gorgeous animals. The communication with the hosts was excellent, and they were flexible with our needs. I would definitely book again in the future.
