Family-friendly holiday rentals in Kūaotunu

Wow, this place is amazing. Beautiful setting, accommodation immaculate, spacious, modern and homely. Fantastic outdoor space including the use of a spa (hot tub). Friendly and approachable hosts. Lots of nice little touches. 15 minute drive to Whitianga and hot water beach/Hahei for shops/restaurants. Own transport essential. Fantastic stay, highly recommend, would love to return.

Great stay, unreal location, awesome for kids. We will be back!

Was one of the best and most relaxing weekends I’ve ever had. Will be a memory I hold with me always.

Love love love everything about this home. The views, the animals, the conversations. Everything was like a fairytale. The fruit from the farm was delicious (even tried a new type of fruit I’d never had!), the tub was perfect for a nice relaxing soak after being at the beach all day. Will be coming back here when I visit NZ again. 11/10

Fabulous place to stay! Great location. The house was very clean and tidy. Well equipped kitchen with every thing you need. There is a lovely outdoor area out the front and the spa was a luxury. There are three good sized bedrooms, the beds are quite firm, but fine for a short stay. Gina and George are so kind and welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay again!

The location was great in the middle of town , half a block from beach access and walkable to great restaurants and brew pub. The beds were comfortable, kitchen well stocked , multiple areas to gather out side and a hot tub to enjoy after the beach. A good choice for family fun with beach equipment and water sport equipment provided.

Was a nice accomodation, walking distance to town and easy to find

Beautiful, neat & clean Self contained unit. The deck was so beautiful and artistically decorated, & surrounded by trees with a peeping view of water. Host Coro is a lovely lady, very friendly and helpful. Her dog Peppy is so cute and calm & adorable. We really had a wonderful time there on my husband's Birthday. So Glad to have Coro in celebrating the Birthday. We will definitely come & stay here again.

Set in a beautiful peaceful spot. Not your typical air b&b, well suited to the outdoorsy type

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!

The Shed was cute as a button. Lots of books, games (and toys if you have kids!). It was just my partner and I plus our wee dog. Used the outside bath one night which was fun - the lights out on the deck were so pretty. Beds were comfy although I had to sleep in the top bunk as the bottom bed was a tad too small for both of us. (I like to starfish) 😂 Toilet and shower were outside of the shed (in a separate room just next to the shed). Pity it was pissing down as it wasn’t very pleasant going outside to the bathroom space during the night. However great stay, Donna was lovely and had wine and chocolate for us on arrival which was a great touch!

Ngaire is an excellent host. Great communication at all times. The accommodation was spotless with no issues at all. Can highly recommend this spot !!

Warren and Sandy's are just a really short walk away from Hot Water Beach. Sandy advised us on where to park before we arrived, and Warren greeted us upon arrival, showed us around and gave us tips on what to do in the area. Our little one enjoyed seeing the eels being fed in the morning too. I personally enjoyed Warren's home brew. A great place to stay!

Loved our stay! Wish we could’ve been here longer. Adored the animals… was so lovely being greeted by the dogs upon arrival. We hope to return again soon!

Thanks Clive and Hillary for the stay. Epic location for us, cosy and comfortable, everything we needed. Fantastic info provided. Super easy and fast communication with the flexibility we needed. Thanks again.

Couldn’t have picked a more beautiful spot. Perfect for outdoor lovers

Great place for a long weekend break with our 6 year old. Clean, sunny and well positioned. Super close to the beach bike trail into town. Lovely pool & spa. Easy to follow instructions from Jacqui. A perfect result all round.

We had a great stay at Debbie’s! The accommodation was perfectly clean and had everything we needed for our stay.

Lovely spacious apartment. Clean and tidy with everything needed. Short walk (a minute or two) to a lovely beach. Short drive away from the many great restaurants we discovered in Whitianga.

We loved our stay at Jacqui’s apartment. The pool and spa was great, despite the weather.

Closely drivable to town for anything you may need, but an amazing view from this side of town! Perfect little place. Well kept and everything you need inside. Would love to come stay again!

Place is bigger than it appears. Beds comfy. Step free entrance. Great outdoor area undercover just in front of front door. Access to pool also just outside the front entrance. Ensuite bathroom, kitchen dining and lounge on ground level. 2 bathroom entrances to bathroom downstairs, via bedroom and via beside stairs. Approx 14 internal steps up to the 2 bedrooms and 2nd bathroom. Park right outside the accommodation. Steph at Yoga Whitianga was amazing. Instantly at my side when out of position despite I awaiting hip and knee replacement. Roze from Massage from the Heart made herself available, Monday morning but found unexpectedly we had to leave extra early. Very accommodating. Must go to Kufe Bar & Eatery overlooking the beach, sea, sky ... stunning together with the friendly service. Awesome quirky Garden Bar to go to for brekkie. Coffee excellent

My husband, my friend and I very much enjoyed our stay at John’s place. It was as described, situated conveniently near both the beach and town. Especially appreciated was a second bathroom. John responded promptly to a query or two and offered helpful suggestions. We would definitely recommend his place and would stay there again.
