Family-friendly vacation rentals in New Zealand

Mark’s AirBnB is an experience rather than a stay. Is a combination of coastal rural Nz right on the doorstep (short boat ride away) from a bustling town Raglan where there are 5 star restaurants, super markets and everything you would need or expect. And the accomodation itself is nestled on a cliff top with 180 views of the harbour and if Raglan. Private, the feeling of seclusion and neighbour free - the best of both worlds made better by a host that balances your needs with respectful distance. Make a pizza in the wood fired oven and then warm your bones in the spa boat and arching the harbour u til the sun melts away listening to birds evening song. We can’t wait to head back and hopefully catch the big uncle of the 12 lb snapper we caught in the raglan harbour!!! Outstanding place.

Very enjoyable and comfortable stay

What a fantastic place! We had the Easter long weekend here and had a lovely time. Place was perfect with great views of the lake, well kitted out and clean. The owners were extremely communicative. Would book here in a flash!

Was awesome staying here, exactly what we needed. Thank you very much for having us. Great hosts.

We booked our getaway for 14 for my Mum’s 60th Birthday and the home absolutely exceeded all expectations. The space catered to us all, the location was so peaceful and relaxing with amazing views of the ocean. We enjoyed our stay so much we did not want to leave :) I would definitely look at booking again. Thank you to Karley for being an awesome host as well.

Great place to stay. Excellent communication with host. Very well equipped and lovely hot tub! Highly recommended.

Cozy and Comfortable! The spa was excellent after a long day and beds were comfortable. Friendly neighnbors too

We had a fantastic time staying here. All the bedrooms were a great size and the open plan dining and lounge area was huge. The place was spotless and had a good range of kitchenware. The highlight for our daughters was Indy (super friendly dog) coming over to say hello and the sight of the merino sheep running across the field to get some snacks.

Fiona’s place is the best spot to stay if you’re visiting Rotorua with a group! The house is beautifully decorated, spacious, and clean. Every room is cozy and inviting, and the deck is perfect for relaxing or enjoying a BBQ while overlooking the lovely yard. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk from the stunning Redwoods Forest. I honestly couldn’t recommend this place more!

Neat house to stay in, had everything we were after. Great location for what we wanted that weekend. Awesome host

We loved our time here. Sharlene was helpful and we had no problems finding the house or while we were there The kitchen was supplied with so many extras including basic food items and cooking equipment etc. All the bedrooms were super comfortable and overall we felt totally at home. A special family time for us all. It rained the whole time we were there but we embraced the quiet and loved the bird life. A family of Tuis in the enormous Puriri tree kept us entertained! I would totally recommend to anyone.

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 !

We have stayed in over 35 Airbnb‘s all over New Zealand in the world and this is one of the most beautiful million dollar views and beautiful homes and greatest Host that we have ever stayed with. I would recommend this as my favorite Airbnb that I have ever stayed it’s perfect for families that are large or even small groups. It’s an incredible garden in view unlike any other and the house has absolutely everything you need.

Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely little farm cottage that fit all 5 of us in perfectly! The beds and pillows were very comfortable and the house had everything we needed. The wood burner in the lounge was cranking and kept us all very warm and cosy, especially with all the double glazed windows too. There was an amazing selection of DVD's that kept us entertained and my son was very taken with the flag pole (especially once he found some flags he could raise and lower!) It had a lovely big garden and everything was clean on our arrival. It was easy to clean for the next guests with all cleaning supplies provided. Amazing value for money - we will definitely visit again :) Thank you!

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.

We loved our stay at this property. A wonderful homely and spacious home with all the facilities you could want. The hosts were very friendly and responsive and helpful. An awesome base for exploring the West Coast (we went as far north as pancake rocks and as far south as Franz Josef - the drives were beautiful). We loved the close proximity to the beach and the amazing sunsets. Hokitika beach is so stunning we had so much fun. Would love to stay here again in the future.

Julie was so friendly and communicative, she made us feel right at home. So did Archie and Stevey the dogs, who we loved! The villa was larger than I expected and was perfectly set up for us. The location is ideal, close to the waterfront, wineries and cafes, and not too far from Havelock North for more restaurants, cafes and shops. Would recommend and would definitely stay again 😊 Thank you Julie for having us

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🙏

Great place to stay for a small family gathering over Kings Birthday. Easy walk to town. Clean and warm.

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

Mandy's house is located in a very quiet area. There are beautiful views outside the house and the interior is decorated with great care. It's a wonderful accommodation experience and highly recommended.

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.

Have booked the property for me and my girls to prep for my wedding and for us newlyweds to just soak in the moment. Perfect location. Close enough to the wedding venue and restaurants around, spacious, and very peaceful. Love how homey the house is. It was squeaky clean as well. Thank you for sharing your property.

Great spot. Peaceful location. perfect place to stay.
