Family-friendly vacation rentals in Kawau Island

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

Cole's place is a stylish, spacious home with great living space and a beautiful outdoor patio/garden. The location is super. A short walk to Point Chevalier beach for swimming and less than 15 mins drive to the city centre. The jacuzzi is a bonus!

Sue is wonderful host, very helpful and replying quickly to emails and messages. We had great time in her house, used spa and back yard for relaxing afternoons there. Thanks Sue so much

Had lovely 2 nights at Renee's property, the pool was lovely especially at this time of summer. Recommend to all

The house is very well furnished and well appointed. The views are great and it’s an awesome place to relax and unwind. The main thing to be aware of is the driveway- it is very steep and narrow so consider that if you are bringing a vehicle. Otherwise it is a great stay

We loved our stay at the Chalet! So secluded but great location in terms of access to the beach and buses which were easy to use. It’s an uphill climb from the bus stop but totally manageable save the first trip and back with your bags if you have heavy ones. All in all loved our time here!

Perfect spot for a relaxing wekend with friends. We loved how close it was to the beach and the bikes made it so easy to get around Omaha. Kate was super helpful and accommodating.

was ideal location and the spa pool was pre heated and ready to go, bed was very comfortable and easy access to private beach

Great stay for the night on Waiheke! The house has stunning views and is very spacious. Driveway and steps up are quite steep so was a bit tough to get up the first time but other than that great place to stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at Mary Ann’s house, Ara Station! Mary Ann was incredibly kind and welcoming, and we thoroughly enjoyed her delicious homemade breakfast. She even provided some toys for our 5-year-old daughter, which she absolutely loved! The house itself is beautiful, filled with natural light, and offers an amazing view. It’s so peaceful and quiet—falling asleep to the sounds of birds and the ocean was perfect. We enjoyed walking to the lake and even further to the waterfall. The lake is wonderful for swimming, and Mary Ann’s recommendation to visit Fairy Falls was spot on—it was absolutely stunning. After a long journey, this was the perfect place to arrive and unwind. We highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful holiday home with a sea view and great amenities. We would definitely stay here again. Walking distance to shops and delicious French café. 5 minutes drive to best beach. Highly recommend

We stay for 2 nights, was very clean and comftable,fantastic shower ! Would definitely stay again, very quiet and peaceful.and happy to have our wee dog Paul stay. Highly recommend staying in the tranquil area of Titiriangi,this lovely accommodation and hosts.

Property was ideally situated and within easy reach of the harbour and showground, but an Uber is the cheapest and best way of getting around the city

A delightful place to stay - roomy, clean, with everything we wanted, all set in a beautiful garden. A much-appreciated stop over. Thank you Maggie, and your friends who were looking after your place - we loved the note they left on the table and the recommendation for McLeods for our dinner. Thank you

Emma's place was so so beautiful! We where in absolute awe of the surroundings and the house. We had our getting ready process there for our Wedding, absolutely stunning location and everyone loved the space! highly recommend! thankyou so much!

We really liked staying in this house. It’s a really great beach house that is quite comfortable and has heaps of personality to it. The views of the Tasman and the nearby dune fields are unbelievable. Paula was such a friendly and effective host. She gave us great advice on how to reach a nearby lake by trekking over the dunes. Definitely want to go back!

This was a great apartment to stay in, super easy to get in (very detailed instructions), handy to the Wynyard Quarter and the Viaduct. Great views, nice and spacious - fantastic for a group.

Our family had a lovely experience! Sarah and her family were so lovely and welcoming. Beautiful home and grounds in such a convention location near Mt Eden Village for plenty of amenities. Thank you Sarah!

We enjoyed our stay and found Peter & Nic’s place very comfy. We did a lot of walking in the neighborhood and found everything we needed close by. Our hosts were very responsive whenever we had questions. It’s a cool historic building!

Nestled very close to the beautiful Chelsea Heritage Park and iconic Chelsea Sugar Refinery, this is a lovely, spacious guest suite in a quiet location. Tracey is an awesome host; warm, friendly and most accommodating to our needs from the start of our stay to the finish. We were relieved to find that she had kindly provided fresh milk, orange juice, coffee, teabags and snacks when we woke up on the first day after a very late arrival the night before, due to a plane cancellation. The beds are comfortable, the place is clean and you feel right at home in the lounge overlooking a gorgeous, well-established garden. It was lovely to sit on the patio with a freshly-brewed morning coffee listening to the range of dawn birdsong. Although we didn't use it, the pool area was lovely too. All in all, a solid recommendation for this gem in a lovely spot. Thank you, Tracey!

Charming apartment in a great spot to see Auckland.

Thankyou for my 3 day city slicker holiday. It was the gym and pool that initially attracted me to this listing (didn't get round to enjoying it...maybe next time). The apartment is a surprisingly peaceful retreat that's 'tucked away from everything busy' in the heart of the city. It had all the modern home comforts (which made it easy to keep clean) and it was nicely presented. I enjoyed R&R out on the deck (it was a great sun-trap) and stretched out on the couch watching movies. The bed was super comfy too. Perfect me time! Easy access to get to and from the motorways, and the carpark was a blessing. Highly recommend.

What a fabulous find! Right in the heart of Auckland City, this place is spacious, spotlessly clean, comfortable, very quiet, and has a nice view of the harbour. The apartment is an easy stroll to the harbourfront, Britomart transit hub, and Queen Street. We used buses to go further afield and there are several stops nearby. Best of all, Kerri has gone above and beyond with little touches that we haven’t experienced before with an Airbnb, like an extra international adapter, cookies and chocolates, extra towels, and a kitchen stocked with cooking basics. Highly recommended!

All of Dan’s communications with me were automated and did not answer my question about using a bus and not renting a car to reach his place. His rough gravel driveway is off a steep winding road. It is a dangerous place to walk, especially with heavy luggage and a backpack. A taxi is an expensive alternative. I chose this rental because it seemed to have a completely kitchen to cook my meals. If you plan to cook, bring all your essentials supplies, including paper towels, which Dan said he doesn’t supply. The refrigerator is small as is the tiny freezer with a broken door. Thankfully, there is a kitchen sink to wash your face. The minuscule bathroom sink is only functional for handwashing . Studio One has good visual barriers with the rentals on each side. Jackson the resident dog occasionally comes by to survey the property, and appreciates your affectionate pats. He is possessive about his sticks!
