Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Bay Of Islands

We had such a fantastic stay. The amenities were fantastic, great views and we all felt right at home. Thank you for all the lovely touches of the Easter eggs and home baking too. It was the perfect place to stay in the lead up to our wedding.

We had a great weekend at this house, the views were incredible and we loved sitting out on the deck. Lots of gorgeous spots nearby to visit. The house was reasonably well stocked and Alan was responsive to messages and sorting out any problems. Thanks for a great stay.

Comfortable and clean with million dollar views of Oneroa beach and the Bay of Islands beyond. Lots of swims on the beach, yes even in May! House is in a quiet peaceful street with gorgeous morning sun. Soft towels and comfortable beds. Lovely responsive friendly host. We highly recommend this Airbnb. Table-tennis table a great bonus. Thanks Kelly!

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.

We had an awesome stay and would recommend this airbnb to anyone especially if you are looking for a peaceful setting where you can see and hear the sea, which are close by. We were so relaxed and enjoyed the area, just a lovely place to stay and unwind.

What a home! Thank you so much for this amazing property with an amazing view!!! Honestly it may be feel so at home and able to relax and just enjoy. Spa was hot and made the time so enjoyable. And we loved the big pot!!! Great for a boil up!! Thank you!!

Stunning week away over Easter. We arrived a few hours after a cyclone, which meant no power and water. Anneke was great with all communication about the situation. We chose to stay hoping the power would be back on soon. The next day it was. Meanwhile, Anneke bought us wine and coffee and then arranged a generator so we could shower and charge phones etc. Then we had six glorious days of sunshine with the odd shower. We love walking, so explored all the local walks in the booklets and info guide. Every afternoon we relaxed on the deck just watching the ocean and boats. We ended our days with an outdoor bath, which was Devine. Anneke was a wonderful host. A true legend. The Bach was beautiful, clean, new and private. Highly recommend.

What a beautiful and peaceful place to be. It was as lovely as described and even more! It was all as described plus the things you can't always know until you get there... Spotlessly clean, comfortable, friendly neighborhood, no squeaky floors so you can get up for your morning coffee without disturbing anyone, an incredible changing landscape with the changing of the tides. Absolutely loved it!

We hit the jackpot with Michaela and Dans place, a great place to stay for a bit while visiting bay of islands. We loved our stay here. Good location. Amazing appartement and views and great communication all around. Would recommend!

Lovely one night stop off, Hayley’s place was really cosy and comfy with lovely personal touches! We would definitely stay again if we were in the area!

Jenny is an Amazing Host ,very friendly very easy to engage with ,she made us feel like her house was ours, We arrived an hour before check in , but she allowed us in,the apartment was in spotless condition with excellent views and easy walk into town also had everything inside we needed ,we all felt very comfortable. I would highly recommend Jenny's apartment to anyone wanting somewhere to stay in Paihia for a Bay of Islands Escape.

I had such a wonderful stay at Lil’s place, felt very cozy like at home! It’s very tidy and clean, and the bed is very comfy to sleep in! Lil is a very kind and helpful person, gave me some recommendations regarding places to visit nearby. Thank you Lil! ☺️

This was the most lovely accommodation! It was clean, well-appointed, and had the most beautiful view of the Bay. Wendy communicated well, and provided easy instructions for entry into the car park, and from there, into the apartment. Our two night stay was extremely quiet, which we expected, given it's not the high season, yet there was still enough going on about town that we never wanted for something to do! The location was absolutely ideal, as all businesses were within very easy, close-in walking distance. Our only wish is that we could have stayed longer, and we'll definitely look to return!

Beautiful and cozy space with the most stunning view. Great location being walking distance to restaurants and the pier. Helen was lovely and greeted us when we arrived. Wished we could’ve enjoyed the space longer!

Our stay at Margaret & Lou’s property amazing. As myself and my partner are visiting my parents who live in another part of Northland and we wanted them to see Paihia which they did as we had the most amazing views. Thank you ☺️

We truly loved this place. The ocean and hills under the overcast sky held a quiet, misty beauty, as if we had stepped into a serene ink painting. The room was warm and cozy, and from the bed, we could gaze out at the distant shoreline and listen to the whispers of the wind. There are many great restaurants nearby, just a short drive away. Time here seemed to drift by slowly and gently.

The most serene beautiful location. Felt like a million miles from anywhere but best brekkie and coffee just steps from the door and a general store a couple of minutes away with everything you could need. Bed to die for, luxury linens and towels. Possibly the cleanest place EVER. thank you gavin, a perfect stay in a beautiful location.

For a winter break it really was perfect. Best spot ever. The best part....The people! Friendly, helpful. Kind. Every eatery was great. Op shop for fishing clothes too! Had great fishing with " Buckos" Dont miss it! Will return. Thankyou. BnM

Fabulous hosts, lovely accommodation. We stayed for three nights, and all loved it including our puppy. If we didn't have to be back home for things, we would've extended our stay by a couple more nights. I'm sure we will be back again though. Thanks for the lovely stay

Linda is a very responsive and helpful host and the place is very comfortable and well-equipped. Lots of little extras made us feel right at home.

It was a lovely relaxing spot to spend a week in a rural setting with sea views out to the Poor Knights islands. A large property, accessed off a private road so very secluded and peaceful. Handy location half way between Matapouri Bay and Tutukaka, although you do need a car to go anywhere. Kitchen was very well equipped including basic supplies. Access to an indoor swimming pool, ability to charge the EV, and use of the laundry was a bonus. The hosts were very welcoming on arrival and explained the facilities and beach access path. Special touches were a bottle of wine and locally made nut brittle on arrival, and acknowledgement of our wedding anniversary which was during our stay. Annette and Bianca were super helpful and responded promptly to any questions.

We had a very pleasant stay here in Paihia with stunning water views. It was peaceful to come home to after touring all day. Easy check-in and good communication from the host. Would stay again!

A lovely home with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Come for the home stay for the view! A spectacular vista, from the Whiria Pa, across the harbour to the golden sand dunes. Also, a great selection of books to while away the hours 🙂 We had the generous bonus of using the down stairs spa as there were no guests. perfect!

Very friendly, very tidy well looked after property
