Family-friendly vacation rentals in Karapiro

Mel’s cottage was absolutely stunning! Bed was so comfortable. Clean fresh and comfortable linen. Cottage had everything we needed and a lovely breakfast was provided.

Great location with a view and direct access to the beach. Well equipped.

This was one of my favorite air bnb stays! We loved staying right on Lake Rotorua and enjoying the sunrise each morning! Lauren and Sam had paddle boards and kayaks for us to enjoy the lake as well as a hot tub for relaxing! The unit was so cute and very comfortable! Lauren and Sam were great hosts and shared a long list of recommendations with us. Overall we had such a peaceful and relaxing time and would definitely book here again and recommend it highly to anyone!

We used Joss and Wayne's place for a team building retreat. It was perfect. Plenty of bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen for our self-catering, beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Joss and Wayne were great hosts - showed us where everything was and then left us to it. As well as the great kitchen, there was also a lovely outside area with a BBQ for relaxing at night. Great venue. Would highly recommend.

Thx for the great stay. Friendly hosts and a nice quiet place to rest. Thanks!

one of my favorites so far for accomodation. comfortable beds very clean and the spa was fantastic. Great hosts.

Easy to work with the landlady as we were a very late notice booking, and very accommodating for extension if required. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely stay here. Peaceful but so entertaining for the children right on the park and across the road from the beach . A really lovely family holiday and so well equipped.

Amazing, breathtaking view. Best place for me and bridesmaids before went to my wedding at Don Rowland. The only downfall is that the dam was closed at the time, it would have been a 5 minute drive but had to go right around via motorway (20 min) but the house itself was well worth it! Had everything we needed and more!!! I would consider going again just for a normal weekend. The hosts were accommodating in every way, we had access to kayaks, best coffee machine, comfy couches and beds, clean showers, a nice bbq, beautiful flowers, awesome neighbours, parking for about 3 cars and extra blankets and towels. 10/10 from us!

Beautiful property. So close to the biking trails. Peaceful setting. Happy chirping birdies. Well cared for property with a bounty of flora to brighten your spirits.

Had my parents stay over for a few weeks and they really enjoyed the unit. The house was fully equipped and felt very homey. It's located right in the CBD, so getting to places was just a short walk or drive away. A couple of things to note: light sleepers might be affected by the vibrations from passing trains in the evening, as there’s a railway down the street. The house is also right by a fairly busy road, so you might hear some traffic noise throughout the day. Additionally, all the bathrooms are located upstairs, which could be inconvenient for those with mobility issues. Overall, this is a wonderful place to stay—especially for longer visits.

Awesome value for space and convenient placing within Tauranga city. Beautiful walks near by and most importantly it was pet friendly. Drews an awesome host super quick to reply and kind to speak to. Thanks for allowing Wilson and I to stay

Great location for hospital visiting and less than 10 minute walk to city center. I felt very at home there.

Lovely little cottage, very spacious and clean, Tanya was great at communicating and we loved our stay very much, 100% would recommend.

We loved our stay with Clare! The accommodation was spacious and homely, and her garden is out of this world!

The house was beautiful with absolutely everything you could want. Perfect for our activities including day trips to Rotorua and Hobbiton. Yvonne was very helpful and friendly, would highly recommend her house!

Stayed for 18 nights, Fantastic place to stay short or long term. Personally my long term stay was perfect. They gave me a off street car park for my work UTE, it has its own access to the unit/room so you can come and go as you please. little kitchenet for cooking, a very big bathroom and a open plan living area. WIFI was super fast and a nice heat pump for heating or cooling. The area was definitely in more of a up market area which makes it feel very safe. It was only a 10min walk to a big Westfield mall or 2 mins by car. Would 100 percent stay again.

This place is a real gem. Just mins by car from the centre of town. Lovely, private and peaceful surroundings. Very well equipped with everything you need for a short or long stay. Great communication :-).

A wonderful, peaceful place with a responsive host and great views.

Beautiful location. Quiet and peaceful meant a great night sleep. The loft was spotlessly clean and had everything I needed. Hosts were friendly and helpful. The only very slight negative was the driveway was a bit hard to find - but that was google maps fault. I talked to Liz about this and she now has a new link to help people find it. Highly recommend staying here.

Always a pleasure to stay at Juliet's place. A wonderful, peaceful hideaway so close to town.

Had a great stay and Julian and Frances’s place. Communication was excellent and the place was clean and tidy. Bonus having the pool right outside the front door.

We had a wonderful stay at Alison's poolhouse! It was extremely clean and comfortable. Alison was a great host and was super responsive. We arrived after dark and ended up a bit lost one driveway over; Alison immediately drove down to find us and safely escorted us to her poolhouse. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend a stay at The Poolhouse at Blackburn.

We absolutely loved this place! It is quiet, peaceful, close to Cambridge, Hamilton, and Hobbiton, and the hosts care about your safety. We didn't meet them in person but they are very responsive and seemed very nice. They also had great recommendations for local places to eat! We would definitely stay here again!
