Family-friendly vacation rentals in Northland

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

Superb balcony views from an elevated position. The hot tub was an added bonus. Peter gave us a welcoming run down of how to operate things which was very useful. Really enjoyed our stay.

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.

Leanne was a wonderful host; excellent with communication and very helpful. The accomodation has a stunning view and is beautifully kept - comfortable, clean and just right for our stay (a two-nighter). The location was excellent; close to the city which has wonderful restaurants - of note The Quay. Highly recommended.

Onca again a lovely stay in a perfect spot. Everything very smooth and easy. Will be booking again next year

This is the most outstanding home we’ve ever stayed in and we’ve stayed in a lot of amazing homes. The well thought out design, perfectly equipped house (kitchen to joyfully cook meals, luxurious linens, extras for beach visits, really absolutely everything you’d want), and a gorgeous interior. The house is situated perfectly with privacy from the unit next door. The whole backside of the home is glass with giant sliders to open, catch the breeze and watch the ocean. The moonrise over the ocean and the sunrise over the ocean from bed is the cherry on top. This peaceful quiet space is number one on our list! Reserve it!

Five adults and six children had a wonderful weekend in Mangawhai, using Carolynn's house as our base. There was plenty of space for everyone to find their own corner, both inside and out. The kitchen was big enough for several cooks to work in at once and the dining table was big enough for us to all sit around so mealtimes were a treat, not a chore. Amazing view to the east, including sunrise across water and moonscape sand dunes. The spa at the end of the day was a special treat for our family, as was the large TV screen in the lounge. We missed a few books and board games but everything else was in good supply. Thank you for a special long weekend with my family Carolynn.

Very clean and tidy house with outstanding views over Mangawhai Estuary and out to the sea beyond. And the deck to enjoy the views made it even better!! We will definitely look to book here again if we are up this way in the future.

We stayed as a group of 14 friends. Perfect for a large group with plenty of space to spread out. Alan is a great host with fantastic communication which is appreciated. The house has everything you need and is in a stunning spot with spectacular ocean views. Highly recommend.

It's a little hard to find, but once you get there you are rewarded with an amazing place to stay. Super chill beachy vibe with great outdoor area and fantastic view.

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

What a wonderfull place to stay! The unit is very spacious, leading out into a beautiful garden. The location is perfect, right across from the start of a waterfalls walk. The hosts are so kind too. Definitely recommend staying here!

Very comfortable little place with a ton of nice little touches like artwork, good appliances, comfortable outdoor seating. Very close to the beach and the estuary. Even if you aren't a dog person, the dogs are so well behaved and quiet, they occasionally will visit you and you can give them a pat if you like.

Wonderful place … great views and location perfect!

A lovely unit with grateful seaview from balcony.clean and comfortable. The host are firendly and warmly.There are only little problem that the speed of wifi is too slow and my son can not check the information from the internet. hope next time the problem should be sovled

We had the pleasure of spending two nights at the cabin, and it was an unforgettable experience. The cabin offered both comfort and a rustic charm, with stunning views of the water. Our highlight would be the owner Tea and the private beach, – Tea made sure that we had our privacy but was always there and quick to respond when I would ask her questions. The beach was peaceful, serene, and the perfect place to relax, swim, kayak or take a leisurely walk. We enjoyed every moment of our stay. If you're looking for a tranquil escape, this cabin is a hidden gem. Highly recommend!

We were six couples who had a thoroughly enjoyable break from city life for 5 days. Used it as a base to do day trips to go fishing, trip to Cape Reinga and Kerikeri. Big comfortable home and friendly responsive host

There are not enough words to say how special this place is. This is my second trip and it felt even more welcoming than the last time. The hosts, Rob and Joe, could not have been kinder or more responsive. It’s rare to find a place that has both such high end amenities and is genuinely welcoming. This is a truly special place, both because of the location, view, and over the top amenities, and because of the hosts, Joe, Rob, and Udo.

The place was great, and just as it was described. The host (Olivia) knew we had a young child with us, and she left us some toys and a high chair for us to use. We were happy with everything.

We came up from Auckland for a wedding & the property was local to everything The property was great and both Rob & his wife were lovely. We barely seen them so we decided to go say hello down at their Phat House bar in haruru. We had a couple of nephews come and visit while we were up aswell . Catching up with whanau and coming back to relax there was lovely .

Had a really memorable holiday here with my family, such friendly & welcoming neighbours. Would recommend staying here again if we had another family trip☺️

Absolutely loved this little piece of paradise. Would recommend to everyone.

We had a fantastic stay at Pacific Rendezvous, there were lots of amenities on site and beautiful walks we could access straight from our accomodation. The staff were friendly and the apartment was comfortable and gad everything we needed. We would love to visit again!

Our family really enjoyed this stay! We loved the layout of the home, having the sleep out allowed the kids to have their own space and we weren’t feeling like we were all on top of each other. The pool isn’t massive but enough for everyone to cool down. The distance to the shops is so close which was super handy for grocery top ups or ice cream runs. As it’s on the main road it is noisy in the front room and impacts getting in and out of the drive - but not an issue for us but worth noting. The host was super responsive as we were 30mins early. Will def be back to stay!
