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

This house was perfect for our family group of 9 adults. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking large meals, and it was great having two full bathrooms. The fire and some heaters kept us warm at night.

House was much bigger than I expected, very clean and tidy. We had a lovely stay

We absolutely loved our stay. Nathan was incredibly welcoming and allowed us to use his place for our small wedding ceremony. It was the most amazing day and we really enjoyed our entire stay. Thanks again Nathan!! We will always remember this beautiful space that we held our special day at. ☺️

Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying in David’s home. We were impressed with the cleanliness and that everything was there that we needed. Plenty of room and the pool and spa were such a bonus! Highly recommend staying here and we would definitely stay again. Thanks David!

We had an amazing time during our stay! The surroundings were absolutely stunning, making it the perfect escape. It’s truly a fantastic spot for larger groups looking to create unforgettable memories together.

Helen was absolutely incredible to deal with, and her house was beautiful. It’s one of those special places where all the little details are thoughtfully taken care of — extra extension cords and plenty of plugs by every bed, cosy electric blankets and lots of extra blankets for chilly nights. The kitchen and bathroom were fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, just like being at home. The location was perfect too — the lounge gets gorgeous sun during the day, and it's only a quick walk to the lake and a 10-minute drive into Taupō town. The supermarket is just a few minutes away, making it super convenient. We had the best time coming together with friends to celebrate a birthday, and Helen’s place was the most perfect setting for it. We couldn't have asked for a better spot!

What an absolutely beautiful home. Perfect for anyone with a large family like we do (4 kids) and plenty to entertain them. Was the perfect place to relax after a long holiday and prepare for the journey back. Everyone enjoyed the stay. Tess is a fantastic host.

Fantastic accommodation great pool communicative hosts would love to be back

Great accomodation. comfortable beds and pleasant surroundings. Had everything we needed. Friendly hosts. Highly recommend.

We had such memorable stay at Mary’s. Easy to find and so close to the lake. Beautifully decorated and so comfortable if felt like home. Mary gave us some great tips for local attractions and left us extra special treats just to make us feel welcome! Could not recommend highly enough.

Lisa's place was great for our stay. Met our requirements perfectly.

awesome place, only issue we had is that we couldn't fit our vehicle in the undercover parking. sorted out easily enough though. Thanks Kent.

Great place to stay, amazing location. Everything was clean and tidy, and easily accessible. Highly recommend.

Centrally situated, Giles's apartment had a lovely outlook over the Wellington Harbour. The apartment was well laid out, well equipped, and very comfortable. Wellington CBD was really accessible and wwith the exception of our trip to and from the airport, we were able to walk to restaurants and attractions easily. We had a great stay and would certainly stay at the apartment again.

Great place to stay would highly recommend, we have stayed in a number of Airbnb in the Mount area and this is Easily the best. Thanks for a great stay Monique!

April went above and beyond to accommodate us and our baby. Providing an extra highchair and portacot. A beautiful, clean place.

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!

Perfect apartment to stay at in Wellington. Everything was as per the booking description etc.

Grace was a wonderful host. Her communication was impeccable and she was extremely helpful.

Very comfortable stay. Air-conditioned place. So we felt comfortable even when the temperatures reached 5-6C in the night. Kitchen well equipped. Was very happy to see that Neal has only used eco friendly products be it the kitchen dish wash liquid or Bath (liquid soap, shampoo, conditioner). Products made by people with disability shows their concern to nature and people. Cruelty free (no animal testing) products stand out as well. Good restaurants nearby and one can easily. Can walk across to any of them easily. The only challenge was the work space which was a bit inconvenient for sitting and working for longer duration. Overall a very comfortable place for 2 people to stay while visiting/staying at Palmerston North.

Had an awesome time and stay. Extremely close to the town and walking distance to great restaurants and shops. Irene and Neil were great hosts and very friendly.

So clean and tidy on arrival. The beds were so comfy and we slept so well. The location was amazing - a short walk to the beach and shops/restaurants. Would definitely return here!

Really enjoyed my stay. Lovely apartment overlooking the water. Despite the weather being foul, the apartment was warm and cosy and so easy to relax in. I was working all day away from the apartment but so good to come back each night and relax. Bed very comfortable and no ‘neighbour noise’ of any sort. Great responsive host who was easy to communicate with. Would throughly recommend 11/10!

Really enjoyed our stay at Cooks Beach. Easy walk to restaurant and beach very peaceful and friendly. Would come again.
