Family-friendly vacation rentals in Waikato Region

Absolutely beautiful location, stunning views, pristine house, comfy bed and very private. Only thing we’d note is the hot tub is super dark around it and it has no steps to get in or out which felt a bit dangerous with having the drop around the edge. Absolutely recommend this place, we loved it and beautiful location.

Mark’s AirBnB is an experience rather than a stay. Is a combination of coastal rural Nz right on the doorstep (short boat ride away) from a bustling town Raglan where there are 5 star restaurants, super markets and everything you would need or expect. And the accomodation itself is nestled on a cliff top with 180 views of the harbour and if Raglan. Private, the feeling of seclusion and neighbour free - the best of both worlds made better by a host that balances your needs with respectful distance. Make a pizza in the wood fired oven and then warm your bones in the spa boat and arching the harbour u til the sun melts away listening to birds evening song. We can’t wait to head back and hopefully catch the big uncle of the 12 lb snapper we caught in the raglan harbour!!! Outstanding place.

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.

Carly’s place is beautiful ! The house is very spacious and clean. Kitchen is very nice and has all the basic things that you need. The views were beautiful and we could spot the deers from the deck it was magical. Would absolutely recommend! We had a amazing stay

Our 2 days spent at the chalet was a memorable and amazing stay. We felt close to nature and coming from the islands, we felt right at home. So peaceful, quiet with bird chirps everytime we step out. Love everything about the Chalet. Thank you Charles. Highly recommended to everyone.

This place is absolutely astonishing! I came here with my family for a few days and am so glad that we did. This place has one of the best views I have ever seen, you can see both sunset and sunrise from the same deck! Anyways, absolutely a highlight of the trip so far and can’t wait to come back!

We spent 3 busy months traveling across New Zealand with our baby and we had the privilege of staying at Anne’s for our very last week. It was a week in paradise: an incredible view of farmland and mountains, songbirds galore, a beautiful citrus orchard and two incredible hosts who welcomed us like family. The place was spotless and so nicely decorated, generously equipped with everything you need. We had lots of room for our bub, whether for playing, eating or sleeping. The outdoor tub was a real treat, both for baby bath time and for stargazing at night! Anne went out of her way to make us feel at home and was so generous with our little one. He got to meet and feed farm animals and spent lots of time enjoying their swing. The location was ideal for a peaceful retreat, yet central for discovering the peninsula’s east coast. For hikers wanting to go off the beaten path, there are accessible tracks nearby. Staying here meant soaking in NZ’s best before heading home!

We enjoyed this beautiful home! The views were great and we loved the open kitchen and living room area. Communication was great as we were having issues with the hear, but they were able to get space heaters to warm each room. We would stay again for sure!

Comfy beds, clean house, beautiful spot. Lots of charm. Extra special place to stay!

Amazing, breathtaking view. Best place for me and bridesmaids before went to my wedding at Don Rowland. The only downfall is that the dam was closed at the time, it would have been a 5 minute drive but had to go right around via motorway (20 min) but the house itself was well worth it! Had everything we needed and more!!! I would consider going again just for a normal weekend. The hosts were accommodating in every way, we had access to kayaks, best coffee machine, comfy couches and beds, clean showers, a nice bbq, beautiful flowers, awesome neighbours, parking for about 3 cars and extra blankets and towels. 10/10 from us!

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.

"Great place to stay—very close to town. It looked just like the pictures, and had a warm, homely feel. Everything was clean and tidy, making it a really comfortable stay."

We had a lovely stat at Barn loft . The place was beautifully presented and very cosy, making it the perfect retreat. Being able to bring our dog along was an added bonus that made our trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

I booked Emma's place for my bridal team to get ready in. Space-wise, it was perfect, gorgeous views, and amazing communication with the host. We had a slight hiccup with the microwave not being cleaned properly, but Emma was so quick to resolve the issue that it was like it never happened. 10/10 recommend!!

Beautiful stay. Excellent host. The animals were so lovely too. See you again soon 😊

Lovely stay thanks, house attached to Clare’s house. Lovely host, super friendly, beautiful breakfast thanks

Great quality accomodation. Beautiful spot. Very easy communication.

Awesome wee modern cottage only about 5 minutes from Kati Kati township. Would happily stay 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🙏

Atiamurphy is one of the best AirBNB places we have stayed at. Service provided, Host Communication and the Location, is perfect, for me at least. kids will have a blast, parents will get their peace, and travellers will scratch that itch whilst here! Thank you to Barry for your support throughout our stay

Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la vue sur le lac, le feu dans le poêle à bois (une première pour nous) et le spa thermal privé. Au début, nous avons tâtonné pour chauffer le logement mais dès que nous avons pris le coup pour allumer le feu dans le poêle, c'était très agréable. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour.

Anna's place is very large, comfortable 2 bed room appointment, opposite beach, everything you need is here, all kind of house equipment are complete.super comfortable bed. Great value for money.

Com certeza um dos melhores espaços de Airbnb que eu já fiquei. As comodidades eram ótimas, cozinha super completa, apartamento lindo, super arrumado e muito bem localizado! Adorei tudo! É uma ótima recomendação!

Thank you Shelley for having our family stay in your amazing unit. Very helpful and clear instructions, incredible lake views and easy walking access to the lake and hot water beach. The highlight for us was the outdoor geothermal pool - such a cool and uniquely NZ experience!
