Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Waikanae

We really enjoyed our stay - perfect for a group of couples and walkable to the train and to Brewtown where we were attending a concert. Willem was a friendly and accommodating host - highly recommended!

Beautiful spacious home with lots of amenities. Located off the main street so was very quiet and private. Check in was easy and clear instructions from Gabbie. The house was extremely clean and we felt right at home. Thank you Gabbie for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful spot to stay! The beach is just a short walk away, great spots to eat nearby and the house itself is lovely- very clean and tidy. It has a beautiful outdoor space with a large deck that means you can enjoy a drink outside or even have the double doors open for indoor outdoor flow. We really appreciated all the kitchen amenities and condiments so we could cook at home and particularly enjoyed the use of the bbq and the bikes to explore the area. Would definitely come back!

Place was clean, easy to get into and very calm and quiet. Perfect for a family getaway.

My friends and I had a lovely, relaxing weekend at Natalie’s place! Natalie was super responsive and helpful, checking in with us and giving us great recommendations. This spot is super convenient to a gorgeous beach and has amazing outdoor areas for a good summer getaway.

A really good stay! The Airbnb was exactly as described—clean, well-maintained, and met all expectations. The location was perfect, especially with the local swimming pool nearby. The house was tidy, with lovely fruit trees, and conveniently close to the supermarket. I recommend this place for a comfortable and enjoyable stay!

beautiful location, overlooking the area. Drive in instructions should be followed. Well equipped and presented.

We had a great stay!! We loved the charm of the cottage and being so close to the beach!! It was very peaceful and beautiful.

This two bedroom apartment is absolutely amazing with so much character! Love the decor! Beautiful location. We hated to leave.

The flat was very peaceful. I slept great. Just the right size for us. Julie felt always available but never intrusive. It was like we were there on our own but any question we wanted answered was just a text message away. Plenty of facilities in the kitchen so we easily cooked a couple of nights. At the end of the day we would settle on the comfortable couch to cast a movie. I would definitely stay again. Julie is very thoughtful about guests' comfort. Car space is right near the flat entrance. Nice for Wellington where parking can be awkward.

Thanks for another great stay Julie. Always excellent :-)

Fiona and her partner were very hospitable and the place was super cosy and everything included makes the place all the more worth it. Would definitely stay again :)

excellent spot with nice personal touches, very comfortable, quiet and private.

Ultra clean & spacious apartment with private access. Amazingly comfortable bed, great shower with nice toilettries, nice glasses & crockery. Linda had thoughtfully left breakfast provisions: eggs, bread, butter, milk, and beautiful chocolate. Access to a long, flat, sandy beach is next to the neighbours house. Thanks Linda & Shane

Great communicative host. Apartment was perfect for a couple and a single companion. Location was ace.

Lynette and Mike are the kind of hosts who take an already amazing stay and make it truly exceptional. Their Airbnb is beautifully decorated, thoughtfully stocked, and full of little touches—like luxurious robes—that make you feel completely at home. But what really sets this place apart is Lynette and Mike themselves.Even before our trip began, Lynette went out of her way to offer helpful travel tips, answering our questions and making sure we had everything we needed for a great experience. She even encouraged us to reach out during our stay if we needed ideas for the rest of our trip. Their generosity didn’t stop there—when we unfortunately had a car accident on our first day, they went above and beyond to help. They spent the day assisting us with getting a new rental car and offering genuine care and support. It was far more than we ever could have expected, and we are deeply grateful.This Airbnb was already perfect for our needs, but Lynette and Mike made it even more special.
