Family-friendly vacation rentals in Waiheke Island

Great family stay for three generations. Local beaches are close by and all amenities you could need are not far by car. Shops for essentials are within easy walking distance. Something to do in all weathers

Six of us stayed here to celebrate a family birthday. The house is a beautiful quiet villa with lots of space for everyone and great communal spaces in the dining room, lounge, and large outdoor deck. It was perfect for what we needed and we really enjoyed our stay. The hot tub was a bonus and the views are superb. The only minor disappointment was that the listing specified a coffee maker and there wasn't one which was a bit sad for the five coffee afficionados but the local cafes benefitted! Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

The place was beautiful as described. The walk up is a bit steep if you’re not used to hills but the view made it worth it! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The condo was spacious and well equipped for a longer stay as well.

Sue’s place is exactly as described on the listing. Bedrooms are all generous in size and beds are very comfortable. Essentials such as salt / pepper were all supplied and we took the option to pay extra to have the linen included which was super convenient. Woolies is a 5 min walk away and also the Ostend Markets (Saturday mornings). Sue is super helpful and very responsive - I would definitely stay there again.

Lovely host, beautiful home, had no dramas locating and finding the key, space was clean and tidy for us, very satisfied with our stay :)

Awesome place, not often you find a home with a backyard like this one. My son loved running around, and had a great time in the spa. I appreciated the covered outdoor area, well suited for dining. The large living area was great for wheb my brother and his kids came by for dinner. Only a few minutes walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants. Would definitely stay again.

Our hosts are clearly people who understand hospitality and deliver more than we expected. There were so many little touches which just made the stay so welcoming that I couldn't list them all and it would be better just to enjoy the experience for yourself.

What a wonderful place to stay! We were travelling with our 1 and 3 year olds and Natalie’s place was perfect. The pool and trampoline, and a little pack of fun things Natalie put together for the kids, kept us all happy and feeling very much at home. The house and yard are even nicer than the pictures, and the location is amazing. Thanks for everything.

We felt right at home at Katie’s house. It’s super stylish, our daughter loved the various things she could do, location is perfect and Katie is an amazing host. Would highly recommend and we’d love to stay again - didn’t want to leave!

The place was beautiful, very clean and had plentiful supplies. We did not need to bring much items from home making it very convenient. We even left one of our belongings behind however the host was very responsive and very accommodating. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be coming back. 10/10.

This place was a little tricky to find BUT Viv was there for check-in and helped us out so much. She was responsive with her communication and made us feel at home. The small backyard was beautiful and the inside was cosy and comfortable.

Beautiful home, great host and feel very grateful to have stayed here. A very special place and the garden is beautiful.

This place was so cozy and loved the entire vibe. Highly recommend, great place to stay :)

Trevor and his wife have an amazing property that is up kept to the highest standard. With an unlimited amount of supplies and utensils throughout the house, they made the stay very easy and comfortable. They also provided clear instructions around functionality of equipment. Highly recommend this property 😊

The garden apartment was lovely and well furnished. Celia went above and beyond in responding to our questions and stocking a few groceries for our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the apartment and the quiet neighborhood so close to Mission Bay and downtown Auckland. Buses were nearby and easy to get to with a short hike. And the backyard was great to relax in and listen to the birds.

We had the most fantastic stay! Allison was incredibly responsive and friendly. The location really stands out. It is front row with lovely unobstructed views and restaurants in both directions, yet it is still private and peaceful. Honestly, we felt privileged to be able to stay in what is clearly a very cherished family holiday home.

What a great place perfect for us and even room for the next time when our 3rd daughter can stay too- beautiful waterfront excellent location with a Woolworths metro literally across the road and walking distance to viaduct restaurants- in fact we walked into town it was lovely . The carpark(s) was very handy and Kim messaged us with clear instructions and her communication was exceptional. She kindly allowed us early check in and late check out which is invaluable when you have a short stay like a long weekend. Would definitely consider coming back the next time we stay in Auckland.

Sarah's place was a peaceful retreat in a beautiful neighborhood setting. It featured a spacious loft with everything I needed including a comfortable bed, cozy sitting area, large desk, and a terrific shower. Very walkable to Mount Eden and the village nearby with a variety of restaurants and shops. Sarah was easy to contact and always responsive to questions. I highly recommend Sarah's place as an excellent choice in lodging if you are visiting Auckland.

My partner and I had a wonderful weekend stay. The place was incredibly quiet and private, perfect for a relaxing getaway. We really appreciated the lovely personal touches that made our holiday feel extra special. Everything was clearly prepared with care. Check-in and check-out were seamless, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’d absolutely stay here again.

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🙏

Best location for Auckland CBD ! We really appreciated the convenience of the location of this spacious and airy flat. It is walkable to many places in Auckland’s CBD ! Beds are very comfy and great shower too ! We also want to thank our hosts for the quick responses and flexible check in ! Many, many thanks !

This was our third stay. Very comfortable and a great location.

Completely met our needs, great spot. Comms excellent. Pool, spa and sauna a bonus. Would stay again

Really nice place in a great location. Very nice quiet little courtyard the place is in, and we walked almost everywhere in Auckland we wanted to go. It was great to have laundry and a kitchen at the end of a long road trip, and there was lots of space both indoor and outdoor to relax.
