Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Te Ika-a-Māui / North Island

If you have small children this is the perfect place to stay. Andrea could not have provided anything more - everything we could possibly need was thought of. Location is brilliant, close to the beach and about 20-30 mins from everywhere we went. We would 100% come and stay again. One of the most family-friendly places we've been in. Thank you!

This house was perfect for our family group of 9 adults. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking large meals, and it was great having two full bathrooms. The fire and some heaters kept us warm at night.

Our stay at this stunning home overlooking Lake Taupō and the golf course was nothing short of incredible. The views in every direction were absolutely breathtaking, and the home's design, furnishings, and fittings were all top-notch—every detail was perfect. It truly felt like a dream to wake up in such a beautiful space each morning. This was, without a doubt, our best Airbnb stay ever, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to call this place home for four nights. We can’t recommend it highly enough!

Lovely place, really good location, perfect for our needs, really easy to correspond and very clean

A taste of Tuscany in Newstead is all we can say!! Great indoor outdoor flow with all the amenities to keep people active and engaged. The tennis court provided entertainment and controversy while the spa and pool provided relaxation and ambiance. The complementary bubbles received on arrival was well needed after a long trip with a talkative passenger. Great entertainment facilities and loved the touch of country surroundings, would stay again.

We had an amazing time during our stay! The surroundings were absolutely stunning, making it the perfect escape. It’s truly a fantastic spot for larger groups looking to create unforgettable memories together.

Helen was absolutely incredible to deal with, and her house was beautiful. It’s one of those special places where all the little details are thoughtfully taken care of — extra extension cords and plenty of plugs by every bed, cosy electric blankets and lots of extra blankets for chilly nights. The kitchen and bathroom were fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, just like being at home. The location was perfect too — the lounge gets gorgeous sun during the day, and it's only a quick walk to the lake and a 10-minute drive into Taupō town. The supermarket is just a few minutes away, making it super convenient. We had the best time coming together with friends to celebrate a birthday, and Helen’s place was the most perfect setting for it. We couldn't have asked for a better spot!

Great location near the beach and family friendly house with a backyard full of toys. Also near great coffee/lunch spots. Comfortable beds and good curtains. Outside deck and the house overall could use an upgrade as its all outdated and worn thin.

Their house is incredibly cozy and truly feels like home. John, in particular, is always so accommodating, warmly welcoming us every time we return after a long drive. 😊 We absolutely love both the location and the house itself—it’s peaceful, serene, and incredibly relaxing. We’re already looking forward to staying there again on our next trip up north. 😁❤️

We had such memorable stay at Mary’s. Easy to find and so close to the lake. Beautifully decorated and so comfortable if felt like home. Mary gave us some great tips for local attractions and left us extra special treats just to make us feel welcome! Could not recommend highly enough.

We had a one night stay here after arriving in New Zealand. The shower we had before bed was sooooo good. Clean bathroom and loads of hot water. The beds were comfortable. But the highlight was the view in the morning- spectacular

Very clean, tastefully decorated. Spacious and well equipped. Lovely balcony with comfortable furniture. A little tricky locating the unit, and the coded doors

We had such a great stay, thank you Kylie and Mark! The place was so clean and spacious, we felt very relaxed and at home right away. Everything was comfortable and convenient and just a short walk down the street to the beach and to town!

Centrally situated, Giles's apartment had a lovely outlook over the Wellington Harbour. The apartment was well laid out, well equipped, and very comfortable. Wellington CBD was really accessible and wwith the exception of our trip to and from the airport, we were able to walk to restaurants and attractions easily. We had a great stay and would certainly stay at the apartment again.

Great place to stay would highly recommend, we have stayed in a number of Airbnb in the Mount area and this is Easily the best. Thanks for a great stay Monique!

April went above and beyond to accommodate us and our baby. Providing an extra highchair and portacot. A beautiful, clean place.

I really recommend staying at Barb's place, it's got everything you would need for a short or longer stay. There's lots to do in the area and Barb gave some great recommendations and helpful information. As a host Barb is the best I've ever had, fast response time, friendly and very helpful, she really goes above and beyond!

Great spacious apartment with great views of the city and harbor. We enjoyed the full length windows and small balcony. It has a good supply of everything you need for your stay. Jieqiong sent very detailed instructions with photos for the check process. (It seems complicated, but it's not.) Location is right next to Cuba Street and convenient for walking around the CBD.

Grace was amazing, she met us at the apartment and then went over everything with us. The apartment is in a great location, the main shopping street and the cable car was just across the way and down an elevator. Close to the train station, it was about a 10 minute walk and Te Papa was about 10-15 minutes walk. Really enjoyed staying there

Beautiful little nook to spend the weekend in. Would definitely recommend. Close to everything.

We loved staying here! We were able to communicate with the hosts with ease. The Airbnb is within walking distance of restaurants, grocery stores and everything in between. Irene is really accomodating and had come down to check on us to see if we needed anything which was nice. The facilities were great. Personally, the pictures don’t do the property justice! We were pleasantly surprised at how spacious and homely it was. Most definitely would stay here again if I’m in the area next time😊

Fantastic, clear instructions which included everything you needed to know. It's a great location and was perfect for us being close to our beach event and also close to shops/restaurants. The apartment itself was clean and comfortable. We were so grateful of the fans in the lounge and bedrooms!

Great apartment in a fantastic location, walking distance to restaurants, bars and shops. James is a great host, very friendly, great communication. We really enjoyed our stay.

Really enjoyed our stay at Cooks Beach. Easy walk to restaurant and beach very peaceful and friendly. Would come again.
