Family-friendly holiday rentals in Waikanae Beach

Really enjoyed the space the house provided, given we are a family of five. Nice laid back house, which was just what we wanted. Beach was safe and only a short walk away. We'd happily return, we really enjoyed our stay.

Well appointed and clean room with ensuite bathroom, kitchenette, couch and desk. A very comfortable stay, with a private entrance and garden area. The hosts David and Kerry are amazing, they made me feel right at home from the small treats and welcome goodies they left in the room, to showing me the local sites, public transport routes, walking trails and restaurants.

Great place to stay! The house was full of great books and games and had a very well stocked kitchen. The hosts were great communicating with us and we really enjoyed our weekend away. Definitely would return!

Thank you Tania. Absolutely perfect for my daughter and I. We are country lovers so this couldn’t have been better for us. Loved looking at the horses out the window / door. Loved the sounds of the birds in the evening and the morning. I got a little confused finding the cottage at first as I went up the left driveway to the main house, not the right driveway. But was able to get hold of Tania promptly and she was able to redirect me. This is a beautiful rustic type cottage with the space really well thought out. I didn’t mind the kitchenette in the bathroom. Obviously as long as you keep everything sanitary as you use it it’s not an issue. Kind of the same situation if you were to stay in a caravan everything is close together amenities wise. Was nice and warm and super cosy. Would absolutely stay here again. Thanks so much for your kind, friendly and inviting hospitality.

Blackwood Luxury Hideaway was a perfect location for our group of 4 to stay for three nights whilst we attended a wedding in the area. Janine was super helpful in answering our pre-arrival questions and having the rooms set up to meet our sleeping requirements. The home was beautifully presented, and a lot of thought has gone into the decor / linen / kitchen utensils. The indoor spaces meant we had room to spread out and the day bed became a favorite spot for reading in the sun. The separate areas for outdoor seating where all well used to take in the stunning rural views. And the outdoor spa was a hit and had towels provided for it. The 1.5 bathrooms were very useful when your travel with 4 adults! They were lush with rain shower and beautiful amenities / towels. We would certainly stay again when we come back to visit the area. Thank you for a perfect stay.

We had a wonderful stay. Natalie was a very good host. As soon as we arrived Cha Cha took us down to the river for a play. Samba the cat was very confident and fun too. The place is really nice and the tree house is super cosy and warm. In a safe and peaceful location. Would stay again.

Fabs’ guesthouse was absolutely what we needed - perfect for a weekend getaway to relax and unwind. Set among beautiful gardens with a spa pool. We recommend.

The Bumblebee Cottage was super cute and full of interesting pictures, decorations, magazines, books, beautiful china etc.. The pantry was very well stocked and I've never stayed anywhere with such a great selection of teas! It was very quiet and peaceful at night and in the morning we got to meet the chickens wandering around, before having freshly laid eggs for breakfast. Gail is a very friendly and helpful host, highly recommended!

Catherine’s place was just lovely. Everything we needed and a beautiful home in a gorgeous setting. We had such a lovely weekend. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

less than 5 mins drive from beach. Quiet and is a home away from home. lovely cafe around the corner. close to all kapiti coast beaches and short commute to Wellington. great kitchen with all the utensils and good BBQ. Beds were comfy. highly recommend a stay here.

Thrive provided an exceptional experience. Our two-night stay was thoroughly enjoyable, with abundant indoor and outdoor activities. The property's meticulous upkeep was truly remarkable.

Lovely stay, felt like home. Warm and welcoming. Added bonus of portable cot use and toys to entertain the kids. Has all you need to enjoy and relax. Spacious enough for my Whanau. Very responsive helpful hosts.

We loved our stay at Little 6. Rochelle is a fantastic host - she communicated well, provided clear instructions, and was super responsive. From the homemade granola to coffee pods and bottle of juice, we were made to feel welcome. Titahi Bay is an awesome location to stay when travelling to Wellington. We usually stay in the CBD but opted for Titahi and loved the local Porirua Art Centre.

My husband and I stayed at Felicity's home with our 4 young kids for 6 weeks while our house was being renovated. It was exactly as it was described, A Warm, Tranquil Family Home just perfect for us. We loved our stay. The kids loved exploring outside playing on the swing. There were plenty of toys, puzzles and games to keep the kids amused which was great because we literally only had to bring our clothes. The bed - in my 39 years was the most comfortable I have ever slept on. The house was clean and tidy when we arrived and Felicity provided a list of things to do in the area and places to eat. There were plenty of seasonal vegetables growing in the garden that Felicity invited us to help ourselves to which I thought was very kind, communication was excellent throughout our stay. Could not recommend her highly enough. Michelle

Helens place is exactly what we needed for a weekend getaway with a few friends! Right by the beach, with enough room for a small group/big family! We can’t recommend this place more!

Comfy cosy cottage in a great location - easy to walk to the supermarket, Main Street, and the Greytown to Woodside Trail. Super easy check in and loved the lemon cake left for us on arrival. Thanks for having us, we will definitely be back!

This place was great. Very private and peaceful, and the house was nice and clean. We very much enjoyed our stay. Thanks again!

We had a lovely 2-night stay at Suite 22, a beautifully styled, cozy, and comfortable villa. The thoughtful touches like fresh fruit, flowers, milk, juice, and chocolates. It’s perfectly located, just a short 500m walk to the center of Greytown. Gayle was incredibly responsive, kind, and accommodating throughout our stay. We’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway!

Everything was good—just trimming the bushes would make it even nicer.

Great place to stay for family during Police College graduation. Very clean and comfortable.

We stayed 2 nights at Jan and David’s place over a long weekend, while we explored the area and visited Kapiti Island (for the first time, it was great). The accommodation was exactly what we were looking for. Stylishly presented, very comfortable, an excellent ensuite (great shower). Jan and David were excellent hosts - very obliging ang welcoming. Would stay there again and recommend their place.

We had a wonderful stay and would have loved to stay longer. The location was perfect, right on the beach to see the beautiful sunsets and a short walk away to the playground and restaurants. The beds were also very comfortable and the house warm. Highly recommend.

Thanks Donna we had a great weekend. Set up was perfect for us and we really appreciated the thought that you have gone to with the little extras. Will be back next year.
