Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana

We had the most fantastic time staying at Villino. It really did feel like a proper restful holiday away. The reality was better than the pictures and we had a lovely long lunch just next door at the vineyard and walked down the road for an easy swim at the beach. The food and communications made everything so easy. Really hope we can stay again sometime.

Nicole’s place is a fabulous wee spot. We loved the visits by native birds and the wonderful vista from the deck. And the peaceful atmosphere. We would happily go back.

Ally and Kiki were fantastic hosts and have a beautiful space we are lucky to have borrowed for a fantastic Easter weekend. Thank you!

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!

Where to begin, This by far is the best AirBnB we have stayed in and we have travelled! We wanted for nothing as Tania provided food, pantry, well stocked kitchen, comfort and so much advise and endless help for what our needs were to leave the country! Can’t recommend Tania and Mikes place enough!

这是我们此行入住的最美的民宿，名副其实。我们感受到了主人对入住客人周到体贴的服务。我们第一次在民宿里体验了畅饮的饮料和美酒，民宿的每个角落都看得到大海。我们也很喜欢民宿的装饰风格。民宿提供的智能设施也让我们感受到了方便。最重要的是民宿主人真的很好，有问必答，提供了很多有用的信息。谢谢他们给我们分享他们自己心爱的房子，我们很乐意向大家推荐这套民宿。

We absolutely loved our stay at Jonny's place! The location is perfect, with a short path leading directly to the beach and nearby shops. The space was very clean and cozy. All the thoughtful little touches Jonny provided made it feel like a home away from home. It was definitely worth the money, and we will certainly be booking again when we return to Auckland!

Diese Unterkunft ist einfach ein Traum! Wunderschön gelegen, mit toller Terasse und fantastischem Blick von erhöhter Position auf das Meer. Das Haus selbst ist ausgesprochen stilvoll und zugleich gemütlich und praktisch eingerichtet. Auch die Details stimmen und machen Freude Wir waren als Familie mit zwei Kindern da und hatten sehr schöne Tage. Bei gutem Wetter den schönen kurzen Wanderweg runter zum Strand, bei Regen mit Holzofen und Tee gemütlich auf Sofa und Sesseln sitzen. Außerdem hat sich Paul aus der Ferne super um uns gekümmert, wenn wir Fragen hatten. Ein kleines Paradies zum Entspannen und die Natur genießen!

On était comme à la maison chez Dorothy ! Un logement très chaleureux, spacieux, propre et bien équipé, situé dans un très beau quartier résidentiel. Tout est à proximité : supermarchés, les restaurants sur le front de mer. En été cet endroit doit être encore plus agréable. Merci Dot de nous avoir reçu chez vous. À très bientôt

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.

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.

A beautiful home. Only wish weather had been better to sit in the beautiful garden.

I loved staying here! The setting is gorgeous and the apartment is gorgeous! It is comfortable and well-appointed with everything you could need and more. Pam is a wonderful host, ready to help whatever needed. I was sad to leave and hope to have another opportunity to return.

Jitka and Michael were excellent hosts! We visited New Zealand for our honeymoon and they were friendly and communicative. The studio is in a convenient location and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!

have stayed with Terry’s group a few times and honestly they are so flexible and great with communication

Iain’s place was perfect for us. Spacious, well equipped, great location. We felt at home. Iain was friendly and responsive and had good suggestions for activities and restaurants. We would absolutely stay here again. Thanks for sharing your place with us.

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.

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.

Thanks for a beautiful stay. Richard was a great, friendly and responsive host. Highly recommend 😊

Mathilde’s space was great and she helped me out in an urgent situation. I live near her and knew the location was excellent. Would highly recommend.

Short drive from the airport, Close to lots of amazing cafes, the beach, and hot pools. Fantastic views from the top of Mount Maunganui - worth the climb. Hot pools were great to soak away any aches after the climb.

Jame’s place was accurately described and exactly what we were looking for. Loved that it was walkable to great restaurants. Would recommend.
