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

great home base for exploring Mt Cook. Tania's place had everything we needed. the grill was super convenient. the bed was comfortable, but the pillows were too flat for us and the bed sheets were noisy. Tania was a great host and very responsive/accommodating. we would definitely stay here again.

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.

Die Unterkunft ist super gemütlich. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und alles war sauber. Sehr empfehlenswert. Leider haben wir die Gastgeber nicht kennengelernt.

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

A wonderful stay within walking distance to town. Despite being on a road, we were not bothered by any noise.

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.

Debbie's place was really good, it had everything we needed and more. she was always responsive. the beds were cosy, bathrooms were clean and amenities were more than we required. thank you Debbie.

Perfect spot for a mtbing family trip. The house was clean, stocked with all the amenities which you don't want to have to buy when u go away for a holiday... toilet paper, paper towels, glad wrap, salt, pepper plus more. Nice welcoming chocolate and carton of milk. Great shed for easy storage of bikes. The only negative was the wifi coverage. Only good in the lounge. Bedrooms were a no go. A range extender would sort that out.

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.

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.

This house was clean, spacious and had all the equipment we needed. The beach was just across the road which gave us the ability to watch the glorious sunsets over the water. Great place to stay with the family.

Lovely stay! Perfect location . Added bonus that we could take our dog . Kids loved the beach . Will be back!

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.
