Family-friendly vacation rentals in Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana

After two weeks of utilizing airbnbs in NZ, this property has by far been our favorite. Beautiful views, walkable to great restaurants, very clean… we can’t say enough good things about our stay here. We just hope we can return soon!

I cannot fault this property. My wife and I had a wonderful weekend, the place looks even better than in the photos. The tiny house is chic, cosy, modern, has an incredible sound system, extremely comfy bed, proper little coffee machine, the hot tub was always hot, there was fresh fruit, herbs and flowers from the garden provided - these hosts really go the extra mile! We loved meeting Jeremy and Rae to greet us when we arrived. They recommended the coolest little secret beach ⛱️ they were super relaxed about us bringing our dog. We would love to come back. This is definitely a place we will highly recommend to our friends and family. We feel so relaxed and restored. Thanks you two!

We had an awesome time at the Beachside Bliss. Everything was just WOW. Ian made us feel right at home. The layout of the place is so kids friendly and safe. Loved the peace and quiet and a very clean beach. We are sure to come back soon. 101% recommended! Thank you Ian for sharing your lovely home and space with us🙏

Perfect spot for a relaxing wekend with friends. We loved how close it was to the beach and the bikes made it so easy to get around Omaha. Kate was super helpful and accommodating.

Clean and comfortable. Matched pictures. Great location for a variety of activities. Responsive and helpful host. Had everything we needed. Second double bed was rather soft, not as comfortable as the master bedroom. Very happy with our visit. Thanks!

Easy to work with the landlady as we were a very late notice booking, and very accommodating for extension if required. Highly recommended.

Very clean and tidy house with outstanding views over Mangawhai Estuary and out to the sea beyond. And the deck to enjoy the views made it even better!! We will definitely look to book here again if we are up this way in the future.

Loved our stay at Sandy's, they have a cute lookout they have created, nice cute signs to beach. The yurt was amazing, lovely communication. thanks so much, loved it!

My partner and I had a wonderful time here in this beautiful house. The view was amazing and every amenity we needed was supplied in the house. We only have positive things to say, this is definitely a place to put on the bucket list if ever in Raglan.

Quirky fun layout. Very practical & roomy enough for 9 guests. The kids loved that the pool was available even though it was Easter weekend. Roszarri was very helpful and welcoming.

The view from this property is absolutely breathtaking, making for an unforgettable stay. The host was fantastic—warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local area. Their tips and insights really enhanced my experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for stunning scenery and excellent hospitality!

Thanks for the stay! The area was lovely.

Sue’s place is exactly as described on the listing. Bedrooms are all generous in size and beds are very comfortable. Essentials such as salt / pepper were all supplied and we took the option to pay extra to have the linen included which was super convenient. Woolies is a 5 min walk away and also the Ostend Markets (Saturday mornings). Sue is super helpful and very responsive - I would definitely stay there again.

Our family really loved our stay here, it was so peaceful and quiet… the house has homey feel and a hour drive from the beautiful beaches, we loved that the cows were right outside our fence, lots to enjoy! Thank you !

Great stay. We had a conference nearby & this was a great house to walk into town. Nearby restaurants & shopping. House is great - lovely art and very cute decor.

Wonderful place and peaceful. Loved the greens and how well maintained it was.

Mel’s cottage was absolutely stunning! Bed was so comfortable. Clean fresh and comfortable linen. Cottage had everything we needed and a lovely breakfast was provided.

A short stay, but very comfortable - great views and spacious and light. Highly recommended

In a lovely section on the edge of Pukekohe, Norrine's place was ideal to stay over while we attended a family function in Pukekohe. Lovely and peaceful, with ducks greeting you at the door, the two double bedrooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable, and Norrine supplied everything one could wish for the morning after. Toast, cereal and fruit juice most appreciated. A wonderful, clean, peaceful respite. Great value for money. Highly recommended.

The team we had staying loved their stay. They said Tracey was extremely friendly and welcoming. Facilities were clean but homely....and the beds nice and comfortable at the end of a long day! With future contracts coming up in the area they have asked to book this accommodation again. Highly recommend

Ideal apartment for a girls weekend away! spacious clean and comfy. Had everything that we needed plus great location to Sky City and Viaduct harbour Would gladly book again !

One of the best equipped air bnb we’ve stayed in. Fantastic views and good to have use of hot tub and swimming pool

We loved our stay at Megan's place. Very homely & so nice to be in the countryside. Great outdoor space to chill & have dinner - a wonderful relaxing spot . Megan was warm & friendly - we will return !

We had a wonderful stay at Alison's poolhouse! It was extremely clean and comfortable. Alison was a great host and was super responsive. We arrived after dark and ended up a bit lost one driveway over; Alison immediately drove down to find us and safely escorted us to her poolhouse. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend a stay at The Poolhouse at Blackburn.
