Family-friendly holiday rentals in Kawau Island

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.

Great location, private walkway to the beach! Couldn get any better. Such an awesome cosy Bach. Easy check in and great communication! Thank you so much!! Would definitely stay here again!

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.

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.

How an airbnb should be. Anna & Brian have created such a welcoming, peaceful oasis with all of the personal touches that make staying here so wonderful. A short drive from Auckland and you feel you're in the middle of nowhere (in the best way). A bottle of wine, homemade cake & bread, breakfast provisions (so many eggs we couldn't finish them all) topped off with a well kept tennis court, pool & spa - in a gorgeous apartment-like setting, we couldn't have asked for more. A great place to stay.

Understated elegance, luxury all wrapped together with threads of home, like your own home. We all love it, especially the kids. The view at night looking over the bay from the hot tub above the third level, you enjoy a view of lights glistening from the city beyond the waters of the bay below. We loved morning and evening walks to beach nearby, we loved it all. If you are anywhere in the area, stay here. You won’t regret it! Hosting was perfect; responsive when needed and invisible when not needed. “How accurately did Grace describe their place?” The picture on the website does not show the true beauty and setting of this home. The best view we found all the time we spent in North Island was from the living room here…or the bedroom here…or the hot tub here! Grace, show more pics!

Our second time staying here and again it took our breath away. The serenity of the view, cleanliness, and all the things available for use including kitchen equipment etc is perfect. The kids loved it too and we could easily spend weeks on end at Michael’s beautiful home. Thank you again and we will be back :-)

Amazing retreat spot with all of the amenities to rest and recharge. A wonderful place to hang out between activities and the house was its own desired destination. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Wow, absolutely stunning views! Mark’s place was very spacious and lots of natural light. We only stayed a night, but wished we could have stayed for the whole weekend! It’s a small stroll to the sea and a little shop that sells some delicious toasties.

This was the perfect place to stay for a beautiful and relaxing long weekend. We could not have asked for anything more. Highly recommend

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.

Ian and Ailsa were fabulous hosts and their place was good for a couple nights in Titirangi. Beautiful area and close to good restaurants and walks.

We had a very comfortable stay at Maggie's. it is well equipped with everything you need. very clean. Fantastic, friendly hosts. Short drive to Waipu or Waipu cove from accommodation. A short walk from the bottom of their garden takes you to lovely views of the river and coastline.

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!!

We stayed for a few days during the off season. Wonderful location and a very comfortable place for a couple with a young one.

i've stayed at Brendon and Sali's places a few times now and we've become good friends. They will always be my first choice for accomodation when I come back to Auckland. The Cottage is well-located to take advantage of everything The Bays have to offer.

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.

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

I have been in New Zealand for a little over a month now and I’ve stayed at quite a few Airbnb’s but I can honestly say that this was hands-down, my favorite one I’ve stayed in so far. Absolutely beautiful views right from the extremely private cabin. This is what I came to New Zealand for:)

I have no hesitations recommending this place. You won’t be disappointed. We had an incredible stay. The location and facilities are second to none. Parking to apartment in just 1 minute and it is all covered and easily accessed by lift. The apartment is spacious and well stocked with everything you’ll need. Two bathrooms was a massive bonus as was the washer/dryer to keep on top of washing. The pool, spa, and sauna were the highlight for our kids and we spent a lot of time there. The city and viaduct areas are walkable or grab a scooter and save your legs. The supermarket just across the road was so handy. Although it was raining for a lot of our stay the view from the apartment is amazing. In the summer having dinner and drinks on the balcony would be incredible. Comfortably slept four of us and we never felt crowded in the living room. This place is a credit to Linley and we’ll be looking this place up when we come for another break, concerts, or sports events.
