Family-friendly holiday rentals in Bay of Plenty Region

Absolutely beautiful location, stunning views, pristine house, comfy bed and very private. Only thing we’d note is the hot tub is super dark around it and it has no steps to get in or out which felt a bit dangerous with having the drop around the edge. Absolutely recommend this place, we loved it and beautiful location.

We had a fantastic weekend stay at this lovely 2-bedroom unit in Rotorua. The place was spotless, beautifully presented, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The private outdoor spa was an absolute highlight—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. It’s conveniently located close to the city but still peaceful and quiet. The host was amazing—communication was clear, friendly, and timely, which made everything super easy. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again

Lauren and Sam This was a very lovely place right next to the lake. Can see the lake from the bed and there is heaps of ducks. Lauren and Sam were kind and responsive while also making sure your experience was private.

We had a great stay at Jonathon's. We love the spa and used it throughout our stay. The house had all the space we needed for 7 people too. Overall, we had a great stay!

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.

Such a beautiful peaceful place to stay with lovely gardens. Fun to see the cows running in the fields nearby. Nice breakfast items including fresh fruit, milk, juice, yogurt, honey, cereal, bread and jelly.

Great spot! Loved our stay. Awesome communication. Would stay again.

Muritai House was incredible, great views, super cosy with heated floors. The lakeside host, Amy was super accommodating/flexible and very responsive. Would definitely stay again, thanks!

We spent an amazing weekend at this place in Rotorua. The home was very cozy, air conditioned, clean and well looked after. The host was very responsive, proactive in communication and made us feel very welcome. It is quite centrally located and it's easy to get around walking or a few minutes driving. Highly recommended and we'll definitely visit again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had an amazing stay. Donna was such a great host. The kids loved the outdoor bath. Would highly recommend.

Had a lovely stay here. House was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable, nice sheets and towels. Great to be able to bring our dog with us, fully fenced garden was perfect. Lots of board games, books and things to keep us busy on the rainy days. Tanya was lovely and met us at the door, we were given a tour and all the info we needed, including a quick rundown on the local restaurants and shops. Location was very good, close to everything but far enough away to be quiet. We appreciated being able to put the car in the garage as well. Would definitely recommend staying here 😊

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.

I booked this accommodation for my colleagues and they loved it. It was a perfect place for what they needed while working away from home. Excellent communication with the hosts. Would definitely book again in the future.

Great little place to stay, super close to the beach. We visited with our two year old and it was a perfect space for a family. Has everything you need. Would stay again.

Great place for a short stay with our puppy in Tauranga, and not too far from most places that we wanted to go since we had a car. The room was warm, spacious and comfortable, had everything we needed. Jacqui has been responsive and helpful to our needs/questions. Walking distance to a beautiful park, which our puppy had such great time running around.

This house was a great spot for 2 families and dogs. Huge back yard for kids and animals to play in, a 3 story tree house to entertain the kids, lovely large front deck with all day sun. The house is modern, equipped with everything you would need for a short stay, cafe just across the road and very quick walk to the beach, dairy and fish and chip shop.

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 :)

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

Atiamurphy is one of the best AirBNB places we have stayed at. Service provided, Host Communication and the Location, is perfect, for me at least. kids will have a blast, parents will get their peace, and travellers will scratch that itch whilst here! Thank you to Barry for your support throughout our stay

Absolutely loved this property, we felt instantly at home - it’s very comfortable. Being elevated from the road, the view of the lake is wonderful and the sunsets are stunning! Bayley is a great communicator which is always appreciated. We would definitely book this property again - thank you.

Excellent👍The heating in the room is very comfortable! I really like this house.

We had a great time staying here during our family’s visit to Rotorua. Joe was extremely communicative and helpful, ensuring it was easy for us to get into the house and had everything we needed for our family of young kids. We loved the location and the beautiful views and hope to be back to take advantage of all the wonderful amenities!

I’m not quite sure where to start, as there were so many great things about this holiday home. Firstly, thanks to our host for providing such a wonderful space for my family to stay and create happy memories together. We absolutely loved our time here! The property is very well maintained, both inside and out. (I think it’s even better than in the photos). It’s spacious yet cosy, with plenty of room to spread out, as well as great areas to hang out as a family. The kitchen is an excellent size and very well equipped. Of course the plunge pool is an added bonus that we really enjoyed, especially after a busy day of activities around Taupo. We appreciated the location as it’s away from the business of central town but close enough to easily get there in a couple of minutes by car. The neighbourhood is lovely and we really enjoyed walking around it and down to the lakeside. We would definitely highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Taupo.

Lovely place, great location, convenient with a pool & close to the beach. Would definitely stay again.
