Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Te Ika-a-Māui / North Island

Wonderful place - totally recommend staying there - and would definitely return

Lovely stay, beautiful surroundings and a wonderful host. Thank you very much, we will be back again :)

The house has a million dollar view! From the lounge to the two bedrooms, enjoyed spectacular scenery. The neighborhood is quiet and the night sky is very pretty. Heat pump kept us warm plus Smart TV with Netflix. Convenient 17mims drive to Taupo CBD for dinner. The bathroom is also large with double shower heads. The kitchen pantry is well stocked too.

This is one of the most beautiful houses I have ever stayed in. Piecful environment, breathtaking views captured so well by the house design. Every corner of the property is an art piece. We are traveling with the family members that arrived from the USA to NZ for the first time, and they were speechless when they saw entire New Zealand beauty from one balcony. Highly recommending! Kitchen is very well equipped, rooms and beds are super comfortable. Felt like staying in s 5 star hotel, but much much better. thanks so much!

We had a lovely and peaceful stay. Had everything you need! Thoughtful hosts who opened gate for us in the rain. Beautiful area to be in!

Fantastic would be selling it short! Not only is Brad, super responsive and accomodating, but the location itself over seeing the Bay Area, the outdoor tub (amazing way to wake up) and the intuitive layout inside along with the automation makes this stay an absolute gem!

We had a lovely stay here. Had everything we needed, portacot set up for our baby included. Accomodation was very nice and tidy. Brenda was easy to get in contact with. Would recommend.

Max was amazing and we really enjoyed his company, he is such a great host. The house was comfortable and the view was worth everything. We stayed during a storm and even though the weather was bad, we had the best time. I would recommend staying here one hundred percent.

Such a beautiful location and house, so fun with the loft beds and layout with the kitchen great for cooking and the outdoor bath was such a bonus! Thanks so much Lisa and Owen we had such a nice weekend

This is an absolutely charming apartment to stay in and we enjoyed it immensely. Lynne is the perfect host - warm and welcoming but also attentive to our needs. There was a selection of goodies when we arrived and she baked the most amazing fresh muffins for us the following morning. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated with an inspiring collection of furniture and framed photographs. There is also a bookcase with a discerning and eclectic collection of books if you’re interested in reading- which I was. The real highlight of the apartment is the view. There is wide, expansive view of Auckland’s harbour and you are not overlooked by any of the neighbouring houses. Sitting there on the super comfy couch, with a cup of tea while looking out on the water is simply bliss. Overall, this a marvellous place to stay and simply on a higher level to many other similar apartments. We highly recommend it and will certainly come back.

Great stay and great base for touring around Rotorua. Will be back

Is this little slice of paradise had to be summed up in one word.. it would be Stunning. Stu has gone above and beyond to create an aesthetically pleasing yet warm space, thoughtfully decorated and appointed. Get ready to leave your stay rejuvenated and relaxed!

We loved our stay at Bianca‘s and Hendrik‘s place. The apartment is beautiful, quiet, and very well insulated, just like shown in the photos. It’s very thoughtfully furnished and equipped with everything you may need during your stay. Especially loved the amazing bathroom. Highly recommended for a stay in St Heliers.

We absolutely loved our stay in the Pacifica room! The suite was beautifully kept, peaceful and surrounded by nature. We had everything we needed and more including the gorgeous spa overlooking the ocean. Dave was super helpful and responsive. We’d come back in a heartbeat!

5 star accommodation and location. Perfect for a stay in Paihia. Aynsley was the perfect host . We shall always seek out to stay here when visiting Paihia.

A lovely home surrounded by nature’s offerings. Muriel and Evan were kind and generous with their knowledge of the area. We loved sitting on the balcony listening to the birds and seeing the stars at night. We found it to be a great jumping off point for Cathedral Cove and Hot Water Beach. Enjoyed Luke’s Kitchen so much, just down the road, a must for a friendly meal. Would definitely recommend this beautiful sanctuary.

I really recommend staying at Barb's place, it's got everything you would need for a short or longer stay. There's lots to do in the area and Barb gave some great recommendations and helpful information. As a host Barb is the best I've ever had, fast response time, friendly and very helpful, she really goes above and beyond!

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.

We had an amazing four night stay here. The apartment was excellently furnished, the location effectively on the lakefront was fantastic and the outlook across the lake to Mount Tarawera was beautiful. We could not have wished for more. Thank you Murray for being such a great host

This is our second time here and very happy that we were lucky enough to be able to book it. This place is absolutely fabulous, decorated with impeccable taste, super comfortable, super clean and it has a beautiful garden to look at and our host was just amazing. It is by far our favourite AirBnb.

Great hosts. The Airbnb was super comfortable and peaceful. Fantastic location near walks and the beach.

The apartment was just what we needed. spacous, clean, tidy and close to the town centre.

We really enjoyed our stay at Irene’s. It was great to be so close to the beach and there were lots of shops and cafes within walking distance. It’s a scenic 20 minute drive to Snow Planet is that is part of your holiday plans. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay a pleasure. Irene was so friendly, helpful and caring. We would definitely stay again.

Mathilde's place was lovely and clean. The bed was very comfortable with extra bedding available if needed. We did put an extra blanket on the bed as it was a little chilly. The shower and good pressure and water was nice and hot. The night light came in handy as it made getting to the bathroom very easy. It was an unexpected treat to wake up to the sounds of birds and no traffic noise. Was close enough to walk to a local restaurant for dinner. The kitchen has lots of equipment if you decide to cook. Nespresso machine was appreciated for the morning coffee. We would stay again if in the area
