Family-friendly vacation rentals in Te Awamutu

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!

Great house. Plenty of room. Clean and tidy. would stay again.

Bridget's place was perfect for our stay. In fact, it was our second summer holiday visit and perhaps not the last. the house was comfortable, super clean and had everything we needed. There are so many things to do in Raglan. It is great that so much of the action is within walking distance. Having a nice base to come back to and relax really made the holiday.

We had a wonderful time at Sharlene's place. So comfortable and roomy. Loved the hot tub and fireplace!

Amazing view of world class point break surf locations indicators and whale bay. You can hear the rumble of the waves. Comfy holiday home with all you need for a surf or scenic getaway. Spa is after surfing or swimming exploring is a bonus

Such a beautiful peaceful place to stay with lovely gardens. Fun to see the cows running in the fields nearby. Nice breakfast items including fresh fruit, milk, juice, yogurt, honey, cereal, bread and jelly.

We had a lovely weekend, the house has a great view and was nice and warm - spa was a bonus. Thanks

We will be back for sure! Absolutely delivered what was on the tin. To others thinking glamping is seasonal, it was toasty as anything and outside there's a an outdoor fire and a hot tube - sublime. Kids loved feeding the animals and discovering nature. Thanks for everything!

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!

Beautiful property. So close to the biking trails. Peaceful setting. Happy chirping birdies. Well cared for property with a bounty of flora to brighten your spirits.

Thanks for having us 😊 loved being able to walk around the lake in the morning and close the the stadium for our conference.

The tree house was amazing. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone and stay again in the future. Lovely little private spot and loved the views! It was beautiful!

simply fantastic . Three of us enjoyed the quiet and the view and the cleanliness. all outstanding. will visit again

Absolutely amazing location amongst rolling farmland. Beautiful, private beach within walking distance, no light pollution equaling breathtaking stars and for the nerds out there - Weathertop from Lord of the Rings is nearby! The house has everything you’d need, including one super soft bed and one super firm bed, satisfying both kinds of picky sleepers. The hosts were very friendly and responsive while also allowing us privacy - if you’re looking for peace and solitude, this property is it! There is zero cell phone coverage in this area but the WiFi worked perfect. We will definitely be back!

Megan’s place was a great home away from home for our family plus dog while we painted our home. Good variety of cook wear. Room for our young boys and dog. Friendly neighbour.

Incredible location with an oceanfront view of the surf at Whale and sunrise and sunsets. Just a few steps out the back gate to paddle out at either Whale or Indies surf spots. Large decks and beautiful landscaping. The wood stove was great to take the chill off at night. Would definitely stay here again.

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for warmth and relaxation. You’ll be welcomed by a beautiful spa, kind and caring hosts, and a friendly dog. We're leaving with such wonderful memories.

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.

Stayed for 18 nights, Fantastic place to stay short or long term. Personally my long term stay was perfect. They gave me a off street car park for my work UTE, it has its own access to the unit/room so you can come and go as you please. little kitchenet for cooking, a very big bathroom and a open plan living area. WIFI was super fast and a nice heat pump for heating or cooling. The area was definitely in more of a up market area which makes it feel very safe. It was only a 10min walk to a big Westfield mall or 2 mins by car. Would 100 percent stay again.

Awesome wee modern cottage only about 5 minutes from Kati Kati township. Would happily stay again.

We had a lovely stay with Liz and Wayne, the place was so tidy, and it was just like the pictures. It is handy to town and we loved being a little out of town and having the farm life around us. Liz and Wayne bent over backwards to make sure we had a great stay. We would definitely recommend and would love to stay again.

We had a lovely stay at Sue and Stephen’s place. It was calm, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful fruit trees — such a refreshing retreat! Check-in was smooth and hassle-free. Both Sue and Stephen were friendly, responsible, and genuinely caring hosts. We accidentally left our wallet behind and only realized after reaching home. Sue was incredibly helpful and immediately offered to send it back to us via courier. So grateful for their kindness and support. Highly recommended! Athira and Rijin

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

Lovely accommodation. Very tidy, clean, and well presented. Tiffany was excellent to deal with and very friendly.
