Family-friendly vacation rentals in Waikato River

Amazing is the only word to describe this place! The view, the location, the town! Must stay!

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!

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!

The cottage is in a great location. It was smaller than expected and unfortunately we were unable to sit outside but otherwise the cottage was a great place for a relaxing vacation. Would recommend and stay there again. Thanks Sharon.

What a lovely place to stay! Everything is well thought out with awesome little touches of pleasant little surprises! If peaceful, with everything you need to be warm and comfortable- is what you are after - Annette and Weston have done a great job!

Trudi, the house was amazing. An excellent location as we could watch the rowing from the comfort of bean bags on the lawn! The house is spacious, clean, light and bright. Thank you.

Cozy and Comfortable! The spa was excellent after a long day and beds were comfortable. Friendly neighnbors too

We had a delightful stay! We felt at home, and only wished we arrived earlier. Kathy was an excellent communicator and very thoughtful. Thank you for the wine and local artisan foods as well as having the heating on and spa ready to go. We loved the location, privacy, amenities and feeding the friendly alpacas. Made for a very special birthday adventure.

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.

We had such memorable stay at Mary’s. Easy to find and so close to the lake. Beautifully decorated and so comfortable if felt like home. Mary gave us some great tips for local attractions and left us extra special treats just to make us feel welcome! Could not recommend highly enough.

Neat house to stay in, had everything we were after. Great location for what we wanted that weekend. Awesome host

The view from this property is absolutely breathtaking, making for an unforgettable stay. The host was fantastic—warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local area. Their tips and insights really enhanced my experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for stunning scenery and excellent hospitality!

Thanks for the stay! The area was lovely.

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.

Tanya's place was lovely and very comfortable. Good location and parking. The host was responsive and friendly. I would highly recommend, especially if staying with children.

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

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.

Quirky fun layout. Very practical & roomy enough for 9 guests. The kids loved that the pool was available even though it was Easter weekend. Roszarri was very helpful and welcoming.

A short stay, but very comfortable - great views and spacious and light. Highly recommended

In a lovely section on the edge of Pukekohe, Norrine's place was ideal to stay over while we attended a family function in Pukekohe. Lovely and peaceful, with ducks greeting you at the door, the two double bedrooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable, and Norrine supplied everything one could wish for the morning after. Toast, cereal and fruit juice most appreciated. A wonderful, clean, peaceful respite. Great value for money. Highly recommended.

Great place to stay. It was a shame the plunge pool wasn’t working but communication was good and we were compensated.

A wonderful stay. We felt completely at home. The space is impeccable -- clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed with everything we could possibly need.

Clean and comfortable. Matched pictures. Great location for a variety of activities. Responsive and helpful host. Had everything we needed. Second double bed was rather soft, not as comfortable as the master bedroom. Very happy with our visit. Thanks!

Easy to work with the landlady as we were a very late notice booking, and very accommodating for extension if required. Highly recommended.
