Family-friendly vacation rentals in Thames-Coromandel District

Wow, this place is amazing. Beautiful setting, accommodation immaculate, spacious, modern and homely. Fantastic outdoor space including the use of a spa (hot tub). Friendly and approachable hosts. Lots of nice little touches. 15 minute drive to Whitianga and hot water beach/Hahei for shops/restaurants. Own transport essential. Fantastic stay, highly recommend, would love to return.

Excellent 10/10. This property has everything, fully equipped, amazing location, and fantastic presentation. We stayed here as a family of 2 adults and 4 children and absolutely loved this place. The property has everything you need for the kids, a fully equipped kitchen approximately 100m from the beach, backs right on to a reserve, huge indoor and outdoor space, and a very modern home. Would def recommend and we will stay again in the future. Thanks!!!

Can’t beat the location! Unit was comfortable and clean

Was one of the best and most relaxing weekends I’ve ever had. Will be a memory I hold with me always.

Perfect rural, hillside cottage overlooking the surrounding hills and orchards. A quick 15-minute drive to Cathedral Cove/Hot Water Beach/Whitianga. The cottage is cozy and has all you need. Furnishings (especially the bed) are very comfortable. Outdoor space was lovely to watch the many birds that congregated here in the evening. Anne and her husband provided recommendations for the area and were available for any questions we had. If looking for a rural getaway, this is the place.

Best Airbnb so far on our honeymoon ( 3 weeks in and only one more week to go). The hosts were really friendly and gave us great recommendations where to go during our stay! The garden was wonderful with different kinds of fruit! We loved it so much that we extended our stay with an extra day. The accommodation has everything you need and was very clean! It’s situated only a 10 minute drive to pretty much everything you want to see in coromandel! We would love to come back!

Fabulous place to stay! Great location. The house was very clean and tidy. Well equipped kitchen with every thing you need. There is a lovely outdoor area out the front and the spa was a luxury. There are three good sized bedrooms, the beds are quite firm, but fine for a short stay. Gina and George are so kind and welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay again!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Nadine’s place. It was very spacious and comfortable with everything we needed. The spa pool was a highlight and our daughters had so much fun in there!

This was a fantastic location and place to stay for the family Wedding the community hall. The place is huge, and we had x7 staying. Great outdoor seating and a relaxing environment. We called Tims sister to help us figure out how to use the oven and she was super helpful. Thank you for a great stay and shaping family memories.

Great stay at Bob and Jess’s. The indoor/outdoor fireplace was a great feature. The house was very clean and very well presented. Highly recommend.

Lovely place! Easy to access, great amenities and felt homely. Would recommend

A little slice of tropical heaven, the outside space was wonderful, so great to enjoy the bbq and deck and then a bath outside surrounded by lush planting. The bed is very comfortable and the linens and towels were realy high quality which added to the comfort if the place. Worth waking up early and making the short hike up Mount Paku to watch the sunrise. We loved our time here and only wished we had stayed longer.

A group of 8 stayed 1 night before doing the Pahi Coastal Walk the following day. It was close to where we needed to be picked up for the shuttle to do the Walk. It had everything we needed and while it was really just a place to lay our heads before the main event, Ngaire made it clear she could help us plan some activities and walks if we needed to. For us city folk, it was quite remote, but I would make the effort to stay again and take up Ngaire's offer of "what to do" in the surrounds. Thanks Ngaire!!

Loved staying at Clive’s place, close to the beach and shops. Loved the covered deck and the house was very cosy. Clive was very easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay there again.

The place was exactly what we needed. Very comfortable and great views. Would definitely recommend! Thanks Liz!

As advertised and charming. A really cute, endearing, lovely place to stay. We very much enjoyed the rustic quality. This is not a high class hotel, it’s more of a lovely retreat into nature, a quiet, pleasant step outside of anything urban. There is no cell reception, and it was wonderful.

We had a wonderful time staying at the villa! The place was stunning, very close to the town centre and restaurants and was exactly what we were looking for. Jacqui was very easy to communicate with too. Would absolutely stay again!

We had a great stay at Debbie’s! The accommodation was perfectly clean and had everything we needed for our stay.

A great place to stay with a fantastic setting and right beside the beach. The apartment has everything you need and the pool and spa is a great addition.

Place is bigger than it appears. Beds comfy. Step free entrance. Great outdoor area undercover just in front of front door. Access to pool also just outside the front entrance. Ensuite bathroom, kitchen dining and lounge on ground level. 2 bathroom entrances to bathroom downstairs, via bedroom and via beside stairs. Approx 14 internal steps up to the 2 bedrooms and 2nd bathroom. Park right outside the accommodation. Steph at Yoga Whitianga was amazing. Instantly at my side when out of position despite I awaiting hip and knee replacement. Roze from Massage from the Heart made herself available, Monday morning but found unexpectedly we had to leave extra early. Very accommodating. Must go to Kufe Bar & Eatery overlooking the beach, sea, sky ... stunning together with the friendly service. Awesome quirky Garden Bar to go to for brekkie. Coffee excellent

Sally’s place was delightful. Very peaceful, private and cozy. It’s the perfect place to unplug and enjoy nature. They were also super friendly and welcoming.
