Family-friendly holiday rentals in Pauanui

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

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.

We had a lovely stay here. Peaceful but so entertaining for the children right on the park and across the road from the beach . A really lovely family holiday and so well equipped.

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!

Great place! Very nice house, loved the location!

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.

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

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!

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!

The place was very accommodating, and Ngaire was really kind. The location was great with a beautiful view, making the stay very relaxing. Overall, it was a lovely stay!

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!

Sharon was a friendly, informative host from the outset. The privacy of her place along with its amenities were perfect for our situation. We would not look to book elsewhere if in Whangamata again.

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!

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

Really enjoyed out stay. Fantastic location and a great sized apartment. The kids loved the pools and it was super convenient to have the use of 2 car parks. Thanks for having us and sorting out a porta cot. We'd love to come and stay again :)

Beautiful accomodation. We will be back

Really great stay for our little family. Clean, close to the beach and the pool and hot tub were fantastic. Really responsive when we had questions during our stay too!

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

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.

Our stay in Jo's place was a little special because we arrived during the lockdown. After more than 5 airbnb hosts canceled or declined our reservatin because we had to do our self-isolation, Jo and her family were the only one who took us in, and for that we are incredibly greatfull. This place is really a full equipped appartment within a big house, with a beautifull garden, a park right next to the house, a beautifull beach 3 minutes walking and a big supermarket 10 minutes walking. You will be in a perfect location, have your own privacy and feel like in home.

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.
