Family-friendly holiday rentals in Whareora

Alison’s place was perfect for two young families. Incredible location, so central to the shops and an easy stroll to the estuary. The house is really well equipped. Lots of toys and books for the kids. We loved the set up with the outdoor shower and spa! Great outdoor area for Bbq. Ali was very responsive We loved our stay, thanks

We loved our stay at Serena’s house, it had everything we needed and had a great yard for our 4 yr old to explore.

Amazing little kiwi back in a private Rocky bay. Awesome for quality family time or a group of friends. Will definitely be staying here again!

Five adults and six children had a wonderful weekend in Mangawhai, using Carolynn's house as our base. There was plenty of space for everyone to find their own corner, both inside and out. The kitchen was big enough for several cooks to work in at once and the dining table was big enough for us to all sit around so mealtimes were a treat, not a chore. Amazing view to the east, including sunrise across water and moonscape sand dunes. The spa at the end of the day was a special treat for our family, as was the large TV screen in the lounge. We missed a few books and board games but everything else was in good supply. Thank you for a special long weekend with my family Carolynn.

Had a wonderful stay at Serenity. it's even better than the photos. the stunning view just can't be captured in a shot. Very comfortable, stylish and well appointed. Michael was a great host.. friendly, responsive and accommodating. thanks!

Honestly, the photos don't do Scott & Miriam's home justice - there's so much light, warmth and character to this home and you can tell they put a lot of thought into both the structural layout for the family and the overall presentation for guests. Having rented 2 cars and bought another during our stay, parking space was also not a concern. The hot tub was lovely but I'll personally miss the lovely garden space (we thoroughly enjoyed the tomatoes) and the decking which was was perfect for relaxing and just staring out to the beach after a long day. Before even arriving, we were sent a very useful guide to operating different bits of the house as well as local recommendations; our hosts were always available to respond to queries and were quick to offer help. Massive thank you to Scott and Miriam for making us feel so welcome during our first month in NZ!

Ryan was very friendly. He helped us in helping and asking care of all thing we had during our stay. Nice view on the backside deck. Jacuzzi added more beauty to our view

Stunning place to stay and relax with or without kids. Theres lots of space, plenty of beds too. The view is absolutely stunning and the spa pool is such a great addition to the place. I would recommend that you take lots of food for the duration of your stay as the nearest supermaket is quite a drive away. They do have a yummy fish and chip shop and a dairy for your daily needs :) absolutely worth staying here!

Great little stay at the sleep out. Erika was very responsive to our questions. Kids loved being so close to the playground! Perfect for a little adventure.

A regular visitor. Just like home and this time with upgraded amenities - new TV, heating and jug making the stay even more comfortable. You won’t be disappointed

amazing property with spectacular views. thanks for sharing your beautiful place with us.

The bach was perfect, location incredible and Claire was lovely to deal with, we will be back!

Thank you for the great stay! Beautiful peaceful garden and great house so close to the village. Wonderful that you allowed us to bring our dog - very much appreciated. Highly recommend this house and host. Liz

Great public but hide bay - therefore is very private. Beautiful water for swim - adults & kids.

epic spot.. awesome host! Highly recommend! Thank you for having us can't wait to return next year!!

We stayed at Lorna's place for our trip to the Poor Knights. Absolutely perfect spot to stay and explore around Tutukaka. Well set up with everything you could need. Would definitely stay again!

Pacific Rendezvous is a great place to stay on the Tutukaka coast. It's within a short distance of the marina, restaurants, other facilities, and fabulous beaches. The resort has private beaches and lots of activities, such as tennis and a playground. The staff are friendly, warm, and accommodating of guest needs.

Wonderful spot with a comfortable house and outstanding pool! our family loved the great outdoors entertaining area and enjoyed our Christmas week stay immensely. Thoroughly recommend this property.

We love our stay at Greg's place. It's a great place to stay with the family who likes privacy and calming surrounding. It's close to town and beach, love the spa and pool although it was ice cold during our stay but I bet it was great on a more sunny day 😅 Overall, its worth the rate and love it!

Even better than the pictures. My family and I had the BEST time at this property. What a beautiful location and great host. Excellent experience.

Andrea and Mike were very kind and responsive. The couple run the place rather efficiently and respond to the customers' requests very quickly. We found that the ensuite bathroom was a little smelly and the hosts were trying all their means to eliminate the odour for us and even offered to switch to another available suite for us - surely they care for their customers. Thank you Andrea and Mike, we had a great time at the kohinui cottage! Kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the hot tub, amazing place to be!

This is very nice place to stay. A quiet area with some good walks. My situation was a little different as I wasn't on holiday and wanted somewhere quiet and reasonably close to the hospital where I was visiting my husband each day. The property is off the road and there are auto gates. As I was on my own this made me feel very safe - on top of which Genevieve was in the main house a lot of the day. It was comfortable and cosy (given my stay was during the winter) and Genevieve and her husband went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. Thoroughly recommend and if I ever need to be in Whangarei for any length of time I hope I can use this accommodation again.

Truly excellent stay, Ian and Sue were lovely and the apartment so comfy and clean. We can’t wait to stay there again. Definitely do not miss the sunrise and the hidden beach!

Great place, stayed two nights and check-in was smooth, house was a great size for a group of 8 people. Short walk to Mangawhai township and handy to everything we needed. Would stay again.
