Family-friendly vacation rentals in Auckland

Lovely private stay for our family of 6, we really enjoyed it! The house was spacious and was very well equipped with all amenities required for our stay. Communication was also great with Sue. Location was also very convenient as it was close to one of the neighbourhood (Ostend) which is within walking distance!

Such a beautiful spot, amazing views and bird life. House was well appointed and with ground floor bedrooms and living areas was perfect for one of our family members with limited mobility. Driveway was as described but our SUVs handled it no problems. Wine on arrival was a nice touch. Would absolutely recommend this accommodation.

Charles has a great place nestled in the bush with lots of privacy, and having a spa really makes it. It's a little bit out of the way but a short walk to the beach and a main bus route. Appreciated the good supply of coffee pods.

Perfect kiwi batch for an easy getaway, had everything you needed and a spa pool which was perfect. Kate was easy to deal with and very friendly, no issues whatsoever. Would definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend to anyone. The location is easy to find and nestled in nature near the beach. We really enjoyed access to the spa. It is quiet and relaxing and a nice place to get away from the noise and busyness. If we had more time we would have stayed longer. The hosts are helpful and responsive.

Lovely stay, very peaceful and not far from beaches etc. Lovely to wander around the section seeing the animals. Diana and Julie were lovely and very helpful ☺️

This is by far the most amazing house we have ever stayed in best air BnB ever! Breathtaking views of Hahei beach, a private & secluded location it was utter paradise! From your own private pool & hot tub to the most luxurious home ever, if you get to stay here you are very lucky & it’s been the highlight of our trip to New Zealand! Thank you Petra & family for sharing your beautiful home with us! John Claire & Ellie ( Manchester UK)

Our stay at this luxury accommodation in Mangawhai Heads was absolutely unforgettable. The property boasts stunning views of the coastline, creating a tranquil and relaxing environment. Every aspect of the home was thoughtfully designed, from the stylish decor to the top-quality amenities. The rooms were spacious and spotless, with incredibly comfortable beds. The fully equipped kitchen made it easy to prepare meals, and the outdoor deck was a perfect spot to enjoy the breathtaking scenery. The hosts were warm and attentive, ensuring our stay was seamless from start to finish. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or adventure, this place offers the best of both worlds. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an exceptional getaway!

We loved Kurt’s place. It had everything we needed, a great view and comfortable furnishings. Kurt was really responsive and helpful.

A must stay! Leah’s place was amazing and Leah is a great host. The perfect spot for an Auckland getaway.

Maggie's place is fabulous. My friend and i booked last minute and were pleased that Maggie's place was available. The house is a great size and has all the amenities. It is spotless, has a wonderful garden and a short walk to the estuary where you can wander, tide dependent, along the coast or sit and check out the birds and the view. Maggie and her husband were nice and helpful. The house is a short drive to Waipu, where you can find a few restaurants and a pub. If I'm back in Waipu, I'd love to stay at Maggie's place again.

We only stayed 2 nights but could have happily stayed more. A beautiful location to spend a couple of days. We found it really easy getting up to cathedral cove and hot water beach from here but equally enjoyed the local area. The place itself has obviously had a lot of love and attention given to it, the kids especially loved the outside bath.

everything was perfect and Emma is such a great host. Would Highly recommend staying here for a family getaway or anything to do with wedding/ wedding prep

Wonderful little bach! Pet friendly! great spot for local fishing! Really enjoyed our stay here, this has been our 2nd time. Highly recommend! A+++

I stayed with my friends and two dogs and we had a great time! It’s a lovely quiet area and the dogs loved exploring the gardens. We enjoyed all the quirky touches and the beds were really comfy. Recommend an eye mask if you are light sensitive when you sleep but it’s otherwise very comfortable and close to beaches, wineries and cafes.

Lovely home! Easy to get to: just take the bus from ferry terminal and get off at the third stop - it's basically right across the road! Super easy to walk to (what felt like) dozens of restaurants, and a 5min walk down a cute pathway to get to an awesome beach. Home was exactly as described and is child friendly, we felt right at home.

Great apartment in a great location. . Patrick was super responsive , and his travel and food recommendations were spot on . My favourite place to stay in Auckland now !!

I’ve stayed there many times. It’s always the same: excellent, magical, sunshine or rain, there’s just something about that place that’s great at creating peace and comfort. And Bruce, the cat is a welcome daily visitor.

This place is the best! Has everything you need, really incredible views, generous host, close to town, projector for watching movies, the hot tub is such a good touch. We ended up getting sick the last few days of our trip and so we spent a lot of time in this Airbnb and it was so cosy and perfect. Also shout out to Tia for being the cutest pup ever. Thank you for letting us borrow her for cuddles.

Norine's place is peaceful and private. The surrounding garden is delightful. It is amply set up for self catering. We enjoyed our morning walks to town for coffee.

We had a lovely stay! The location was central when we were able to walk to everything. Peter is a great host. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful spot, lovely river behind to swim in. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Highly recommend.

This was our second stay. The accommodation is very comfortable and we enjoyed the spa and the tranquil garden setting. Great location close to Chelsea sugar works, shops and restaurants.

This was an excellent choice for our stay in Auckland. The free secure parking was especially helpful and the car rental site was only 750m away. An uber to the airport was around 65 nzd but we opted for a booked taxi as we had a lot of luggage and that was a fixed price 75 nzd for a Mercedes people carrier. All in all, we were very happy with the apartment and would highly recommend it.
