Family-friendly vacation rentals in Matakana Island

The location of this was perfect for all things Rotorua! It was big enough for many more than our family. We truly enjoyed the hot tub! The kayaks were a bonus but due to our busy schedule, we did not have time to enjoy. If ever back in the area, we'd definitely be back!!

This was one of my favorite air bnb stays! We loved staying right on Lake Rotorua and enjoying the sunrise each morning! Lauren and Sam had paddle boards and kayaks for us to enjoy the lake as well as a hot tub for relaxing! The unit was so cute and very comfortable! Lauren and Sam were great hosts and shared a long list of recommendations with us. Overall we had such a peaceful and relaxing time and would definitely book here again and recommend it highly to anyone!

This is a fantastic place to stay with all you need. Great indoor, outdoor living. Beautiful lake and easy home for all to enjoy. Lynley was very responsive and accommodating and we’d happily recommend and stay again.

We used Joss and Wayne's place for a team building retreat. It was perfect. Plenty of bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen for our self-catering, beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Joss and Wayne were great hosts - showed us where everything was and then left us to it. As well as the great kitchen, there was also a lovely outside area with a BBQ for relaxing at night. Great venue. Would highly recommend.

Thx for the great stay. Friendly hosts and a nice quiet place to rest. Thanks!

Had a lovely stay, scrumptious muffins. Clean and had everything needed for a night stay. Hot tub was lovely and hot too.

We had a lovely stay here. Peaceful but so entertaining for the children right on the park and across the road from the beach . A really lovely family holiday and so well equipped.

Fabulous place to stay! Great location. The house was very clean and tidy. Well equipped kitchen with every thing you need. There is a lovely outdoor area out the front and the spa was a luxury. There are three good sized bedrooms, the beds are quite firm, but fine for a short stay. Gina and George are so kind and welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay again!

Amazing, breathtaking view. Best place for me and bridesmaids before went to my wedding at Don Rowland. The only downfall is that the dam was closed at the time, it would have been a 5 minute drive but had to go right around via motorway (20 min) but the house itself was well worth it! Had everything we needed and more!!! I would consider going again just for a normal weekend. The hosts were accommodating in every way, we had access to kayaks, best coffee machine, comfy couches and beds, clean showers, a nice bbq, beautiful flowers, awesome neighbours, parking for about 3 cars and extra blankets and towels. 10/10 from us!

Awesome value for space and convenient placing within Tauranga city. Beautiful walks near by and most importantly it was pet friendly. Drews an awesome host super quick to reply and kind to speak to. Thanks for allowing Wilson and I to stay

Absolutely gorgeous view! Beds were nicely made with mints and stuffed animals for the kids.

Great location for hospital visiting and less than 10 minute walk to city center. I felt very at home there.

Lovely little cottage, very spacious and clean, Tanya was great at communicating and we loved our stay very much, 100% would recommend.

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

A great spot for a stay in beautiful Mt Maunganui… great beach access and a cool cafe over the road for a nice ce brunch/lunch option.

Beautiful house, just as pictured. Carol and Ken were friendly and offered some nice suggestions as well, along with messaging quickly. Will return again sometime soon. Cheers.

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.

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.

This place is a real gem. Just mins by car from the centre of town. Lovely, private and peaceful surroundings. Very well equipped with everything you need for a short or long stay. Great communication :-).

Beautiful location. Quiet and peaceful meant a great night sleep. The loft was spotlessly clean and had everything I needed. Hosts were friendly and helpful. The only very slight negative was the driveway was a bit hard to find - but that was google maps fault. I talked to Liz about this and she now has a new link to help people find it. Highly recommend staying here.

Always a pleasure to stay at Juliet's place. A wonderful, peaceful hideaway so close to town.

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

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.
