Family-friendly vacation rentals in Waikato District

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!

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.

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

This place is a little hidden gym tucked away so private and peaceful beautiful surroundings pristine and clean on the inside and outside and lots of extra little goodies for gifts plus a beautiful star spa pool outside amazing. Highly recommend.

My friend and I had the most wonderful stay at Ngarumu Bay, just 9 km out of Thames. Coro was an absolutely amazing host—so friendly, welcoming, and easy to chat with. Her place was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The views were stunning, and Coro went out of her way to give us great local recommendations that really made our trip special. We felt right at home and genuinely didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a peaceful, beautiful spot with a lovely host!

We really enjoyed our stay. It was a beautiful, peaceful location. The bed was comfy & the spa was soothing. It was a wonderful relaxing time.

This was my second time staying at Stu and Kim's cottage and I'll be back again for a third stay I'm sure. They have thought of every little detail, including things that you didn't know you needed. It has to be one of the best kept secrets just outside of Auckland.

We had an awesome stay with 3 families with young kids (we booked the annex too). The house is surrounded by beautiful trees and is very private. The hot tub was a fun addition. The deck area is awesome for relaxing. The lounge is spacious and the kitchen is well stocked. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and there are plenty of bathrooms. The bush was from the bottom of the property to the beach was beautiful and a must-do! Awesome house! Would stay again!

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.

Had my parents stay over for a few weeks and they really enjoyed the unit. The house was fully equipped and felt very homey. It's located right in the CBD, so getting to places was just a short walk or drive away. A couple of things to note: light sleepers might be affected by the vibrations from passing trains in the evening, as there’s a railway down the street. The house is also right by a fairly busy road, so you might hear some traffic noise throughout the day. Additionally, all the bathrooms are located upstairs, which could be inconvenient for those with mobility issues. Overall, this is a wonderful place to stay—especially for longer visits.

My partner and I had a wonderful time here in this beautiful house. The view was amazing and every amenity we needed was supplied in the house. We only have positive things to say, this is definitely a place to put on the bucket list if ever in Raglan.

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!

Great stay. We had a conference nearby & this was a great house to walk into town. Nearby restaurants & shopping. House is great - lovely art and very cute decor.

Wonderful place and peaceful. Loved the greens and how well maintained it was.

Great place to stay, quiet location and accessible to the main centre. Layout of the house was great with older kids space and adults space. Clean and tidy space with a great deck space outside

The house was beautiful with absolutely everything you could want. Perfect for our activities including day trips to Rotorua and Hobbiton. Yvonne was very helpful and friendly, would highly recommend her house!

Sharon and Chris were wonderful hosts and we had a beautiful and peaceful stay. The place was clean, warm and cozy, it became a home away from home, with beautiful views and well equipped amenities. The hospitality that our family received from Sharon and Chris was above and beyond our expectations, we felt welcomed and well attended to, and appreciated the handy info on local spots to see. My husband enjoyed his morning walk right from the front door and my two and a half year old son loved getting to know Kamal. We loved our stay and hope to be back there one day.

Mel’s cottage was absolutely stunning! Bed was so comfortable. Clean fresh and comfortable linen. Cottage had everything we needed and a lovely breakfast was provided.

I cannot fault this property. My wife and I had a wonderful weekend, the place looks even better than in the photos. The tiny house is chic, cosy, modern, has an incredible sound system, extremely comfy bed, proper little coffee machine, the hot tub was always hot, there was fresh fruit, herbs and flowers from the garden provided - these hosts really go the extra mile! We loved meeting Jeremy and Rae to greet us when we arrived. They recommended the coolest little secret beach ⛱️ they were super relaxed about us bringing our dog. We would love to come back. This is definitely a place we will highly recommend to our friends and family. We feel so relaxed and restored. Thanks you two!

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.

A wonderful, peaceful place with a responsive host and great views.

Beautiful location. Quiet and peaceful meant a great night sleep. The loft was spotlessly clean and had everything I needed. Hosts were friendly and helpful. The only very slight negative was the driveway was a bit hard to find - but that was google maps fault. I talked to Liz about this and she now has a new link to help people find it. Highly recommend staying here.

Thx for the great stay. Friendly hosts and a nice quiet place to rest. Thanks!

Always a pleasure to stay at Juliet's place. A wonderful, peaceful hideaway so close to town.
