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

Don’t want to said too much yet, but we will be back soon, very soon.😁😁

The house has a million dollar view! From the lounge to the two bedrooms, enjoyed spectacular scenery. The neighborhood is quiet and the night sky is very pretty. Heat pump kept us warm plus Smart TV with Netflix. Convenient 17mims drive to Taupo CBD for dinner. The bathroom is also large with double shower heads. The kitchen pantry is well stocked too.

Das Haus war stylish und mit vielen tollen Details ausgestattet und die Aussicht spektakulär. Es hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Alles ist sehr gepflegt und sehr sauber.

This is one of the most beautiful houses I have ever stayed in. Piecful environment, breathtaking views captured so well by the house design. Every corner of the property is an art piece. We are traveling with the family members that arrived from the USA to NZ for the first time, and they were speechless when they saw entire New Zealand beauty from one balcony. Highly recommending! Kitchen is very well equipped, rooms and beds are super comfortable. Felt like staying in s 5 star hotel, but much much better. thanks so much!

Kay’s cottage is gorgeous, looks exactly as the pictures do. The surroundings are something else and having access to the kayaks, paddle boards and dingy were a great assets. We arrived on a stunning Autumn day and go out onto the ocean right away.. Three bedroom are all close together upstairs and downstairs was a cosy open plan kitchen dining lounge area. The road there isn’t for the faint of heart but when you get there it’s very much worth it!! We wish we stayed longer.

Beautiful few days at Ohm home. It could not have been more peaceful. And so cozy despite being 10 degrees outside. Thank you Raquel & Eduard

What a beautiful and peaceful place to be. It was as lovely as described and even more! It was all as described plus the things you can't always know until you get there... Spotlessly clean, comfortable, friendly neighborhood, no squeaky floors so you can get up for your morning coffee without disturbing anyone, an incredible changing landscape with the changing of the tides. Absolutely loved it!

The Walnut Box is simply perfect - large, spacious, new, very well equiped, very comfortable and with pantry staples. The location is on a high spot on a dairy farm with magnificent views. Very highly recommended.

We loved every minute of our stay here in Raglan- and this ocean-view oasis was the perfect home base to relax and enjoy the scenery. The view was, of course, incredible- we watched surfers in the waves for hours. We greatly enjoyed the amenities like the hot tub and sauna, and found the location to be perfect, with just a short drive into the town with coffee shops & restaurants, and close to the beaches where we spent most of our time. We absolutely loved our stay here and hope to come back!

This is an absolutely charming apartment to stay in and we enjoyed it immensely. Lynne is the perfect host - warm and welcoming but also attentive to our needs. There was a selection of goodies when we arrived and she baked the most amazing fresh muffins for us the following morning. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated with an inspiring collection of furniture and framed photographs. There is also a bookcase with a discerning and eclectic collection of books if you’re interested in reading- which I was. The real highlight of the apartment is the view. There is wide, expansive view of Auckland’s harbour and you are not overlooked by any of the neighbouring houses. Sitting there on the super comfy couch, with a cup of tea while looking out on the water is simply bliss. Overall, this a marvellous place to stay and simply on a higher level to many other similar apartments. We highly recommend it and will certainly come back.

We thoroughly enjoy our stay at Aleisha's lovely home. Heater to keep us cozy and comfortable during the cold winter, beautiful sky with full of stars during clear nights! Fast and responsive. Thanks for hosting us!

Is this little slice of paradise had to be summed up in one word.. it would be Stunning. Stu has gone above and beyond to create an aesthetically pleasing yet warm space, thoughtfully decorated and appointed. Get ready to leave your stay rejuvenated and relaxed!

We loved our stay at Bianca‘s and Hendrik‘s place. The apartment is beautiful, quiet, and very well insulated, just like shown in the photos. It’s very thoughtfully furnished and equipped with everything you may need during your stay. Especially loved the amazing bathroom. Highly recommended for a stay in St Heliers.

5 star accommodation and location. Perfect for a stay in Paihia. Aynsley was the perfect host . We shall always seek out to stay here when visiting Paihia.

A lovely home surrounded by nature’s offerings. Muriel and Evan were kind and generous with their knowledge of the area. We loved sitting on the balcony listening to the birds and seeing the stars at night. We found it to be a great jumping off point for Cathedral Cove and Hot Water Beach. Enjoyed Luke’s Kitchen so much, just down the road, a must for a friendly meal. Would definitely recommend this beautiful sanctuary.

Lynne was very easy to communicate with, nothing was a bother even when we changed the dates of our booking, clear instructions, property just like the pictures, would recommend.

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!

Feeling very refreshed after 2 lovely days spent at the magical Bethells Beach. Mary’s spot is a so peaceful, cosy and the perfect location to unwind for the weekend. Mary was incredibly helpful and kind and provided some great suggestions of the area. An extra special treat is Mary making us a yummy breakfast with eggs from her 4 local ladies and a delicious cup on coffee. It truly was a 5* stay and we can’t wait to come back.

We had an amazing four night stay here. The apartment was excellently furnished, the location effectively on the lakefront was fantastic and the outlook across the lake to Mount Tarawera was beautiful. We could not have wished for more. Thank you Murray for being such a great host

Thank you for a lovely stay Katharine ! Your studio is gorgeous and was the perfect spot for RnR over the marathon. Your property looks immaculate, the garden beautiful with autumn leaves and bird song. Very easy check in and wonderful ammenities. We loved the croissants for breakfast and thoughtful touches around the home. Very comfy bed and lush linen !! The place is very homely and we loved your style ! Thank you!

The apartment was just what we needed. spacous, clean, tidy and close to the town centre.

Great hosts. The Airbnb was super comfortable and peaceful. Fantastic location near walks and the beach.

We really enjoyed our stay at Irene’s. It was great to be so close to the beach and there were lots of shops and cafes within walking distance. It’s a scenic 20 minute drive to Snow Planet is that is part of your holiday plans. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay a pleasure. Irene was so friendly, helpful and caring. We would definitely stay again.

Mathilde's place was lovely and clean. The bed was very comfortable with extra bedding available if needed. We did put an extra blanket on the bed as it was a little chilly. The shower and good pressure and water was nice and hot. The night light came in handy as it made getting to the bathroom very easy. It was an unexpected treat to wake up to the sounds of birds and no traffic noise. Was close enough to walk to a local restaurant for dinner. The kitchen has lots of equipment if you decide to cook. Nespresso machine was appreciated for the morning coffee. We would stay again if in the area
