Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Waikanae

We were visiting family in Upper Hutt. We needed a home base for 3 people for a 16 night stay. Willem's accommodations were perfect with room to spare. Plenty of room for a large group. Easy check in and ability to come and go as we liked. We were traveling with our 81 year old father and it was perfect for us. There were 3 bedrooms on the main floor and 2 bathrooms, one with a wonderful shower and the other with a tub. Also the living spaces were very spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend Willem's home.

A lovely town with a coastal and nature-filled vibe — very family-friendly. The host was wonderful and extremely helpful. The house is well-organized and comfortable for a family stay, including two bicycles available for guests to use. There are cute cafés around with a laid-back, holiday atmosphere.

What a beautiful house, definitely felt very Wellington! Love the area, loved the house, gave us a flavour of being a local. Kit was helpful and responsive. Thank you for having us!

My friends and I had a lovely, relaxing weekend at Natalie’s place! Natalie was super responsive and helpful, checking in with us and giving us great recommendations. This spot is super convenient to a gorgeous beach and has amazing outdoor areas for a good summer getaway.

beautiful location, overlooking the area. Drive in instructions should be followed. Well equipped and presented.

We had a great time staying here. Lindsay was a wonderful host. We would happily stay here again

Great bach with a gorgeous view. Although there’s no direct access from the back garden (there’s a seawall at the bottom), it’s an easy access from the street - 1 minute walk from the house. Frances was great with communicating and even left me a personal note welcoming me.

We had a party of 8 and we ALL loved the house, its big spaces both inside and outside, beautiful location near the water, large bedrooms with comfy beds, lots of parking and great amenities. We had amazing weather there and the house soaks up the sun very nicely. There is air-conditioning for quick cooling if needed. The keypad entry was super convenient so we didn't have to worry about who had the keys. The house made our times at home very enjoyable. The hosts are also fantastic communicators and are prompt and clear with all responses. My family and I would definitely stay there again. Thank you for having us.

Sam’s place is brilliant for a central stay. We enjoyed a combination of eating out and cooking with grocery shops close by. Parking may be a hassle if you have a big car. But the apartment is lovely with a stunning view. Awesome stay!

Had a Great Stay :)

We had a fantastic stay at Gile's place in Wellington. Everything was perfectly clean and well provisioned. The location is super, walkable to all shopping, restaurants, and attractions. Gile is very responsive and a true gem of a host. Do not hesitate to book this place, it is an Airbnb 5+ stay!

Thank you for a great night stay. Lots of amenities included - full kitchen, laundry room, living space, TV with streaming service. Lovely garden area out front. Clear instructions re: parking across the road and how to access. The booklet has lots of recommendations for the area. Thank you for being dog friendly! Would stay again for sure!

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.

A five-star location indeed! We didn't have a car but being based right on the Terrace meant we could walk to most attractions. Laurice was kind enough to accommodate an early check-in which was really helpful. Highly recommended!

Ultra clean & spacious apartment with private access. Amazingly comfortable bed, great shower with nice toilettries, nice glasses & crockery. Linda had thoughtfully left breakfast provisions: eggs, bread, butter, milk, and beautiful chocolate. Access to a long, flat, sandy beach is next to the neighbours house. Thanks Linda & Shane

A really great location within walking distance of many of the Wellington highlights. The unit and building were old but the unit was extremely clean, well equipped, with a plentiful supply of linen, and a load of basic necessities that were greatly appreciated after a long day getting there. Rich's communication was fast, detailed and helpful. There were many restaurants and food outlets within easy walking distance. We would certainly recommend the apartment to others visiting the city.

Mike’s place was great! A very home feel with so many extra little niceties. We loved it

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

Great view and location. Very clean space

It was a perfect one night stay in the area we wanted to be in. Wei was very responsive to messages.

Fantastic location! Walkable to Cuba Street and Courtenay Place. The place itself was very clean and homely. We would highly recommend staying here!

Great location and apartment for two and a real bonus to have a lap pool and spa. Very good views of the city and some of the harbour too. I will be back for sure!

We had such a wonderful stay! The space was beautiful, peaceful, & perfect for working from home. Hosts were incredibly kind, thoughtful, and welcoming—always making sure I had everything we needed. so grateful for the hospitality and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cozy, well-cared-for space with a lovely host with lots to do around in walking distance!

The apartment was lovely, the location had perfect views of Wellington city and harbour with the ferries coming and going. We had great weather too, so watching the sun set was spectacular. Just a short Uber drive to get into the city for restaurants etc. I would definitely recommend staying here and Craig was super helpful and pleasant to communicate with.
