Family-friendly vacation rentals in Waiotahe

We enjoyed our stay very much! The place is located on a elevated spot above Whakatane with breathtaking views! Lorraine was extremely accommodating and making us feel like home! The place is very spacious with more than enough space for our group of six adults and two kids - they even had a kids toy box! Thank you!

This was a beautiful and peaceful get away. I would 100% recommend if you are wanting to go somewhere private and relaxing with an amazing view.

Loved our stay at Sandy's, they have a cute lookout they have created, nice cute signs to beach. The yurt was amazing, lovely communication. thanks so much, loved it!

Thank you Rachelle and family for an incredible stay at your bach. It was the most beautiful location for our get together. The surrounding native bush, tidy spacious lockwood and all the amenities you could ask for (right on the lake, spa, flying fox, kayaks) and a wonderful host to create an awesome holiday. You won't want to leave. If you are considering The Barefoot lodge - BOOK NOW! You won't regret it!!

This is a fantastic place to stay with all you need. Great indoor, outdoor living. Beautiful lake and easy home for all to enjoy. Lynley was very responsive and accommodating and we’d happily recommend and stay again.

Perfection…in every way. Great communication and Paul was very responsive and accommodating. The place was a slice of heaven and we will definitely be using it every time we travel to Whakatane. Super close to town, with 180 degree ocean views and very respectful quiet neighbours. 10/10 for anyone looking for an amazing place to relax and unwind. Thanks Paul & Nikita and your lovely pet goat Balaagi.

Janet is a wonderful communicator. She was extremely helpful throughout and we really appreciated all the help she provided. In terms of value for money, this was somewhat disappointing. While we were aware of the rules and preconditions of our stay before our holiday, having to cater for our own linens, towels, rubbish and recycling, etc. reduces our star rating and our value for money considerations.

Amazing location, enjoyed our stay, host was great to deal with. Would highly recommend.

The location was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! We loved our stay! Beach front and walking distance to park. There is a life guard station at the end of the road. We chose to go there to swim. Nadene was so nice and helpful! She recommended we stop by Monty’s. That was great. We ate dinner and listened to live music. Overall great trip!

Our stay at Ash and Vanesch’s unit was great, very central for the things we wanted to do. The beach was just across the road and the Ōhope club well within walking distance, their menu was good too! We would recommend this stay to anyone however be prepared for a little road noise. Maybe we noticed it because we live in a quiet cul de sac. Thanks Ash and Vanesch.

Phenomenal location, comfortable, clean, and relaxing. We loved our stay in this beautiful house. The layout has plenty of seating for your entire group with lots of quaint pockets for peaceful viewing of the ocean or the sound. The beachfront access is perfection and I personally loved the windows in the master bedroom. I could stay there forever. There is no central air conditioning but the breeze from the open windows in the summer kept us plenty cool. There is only one plug in the bunk room so charge your phone upstairs. A minor inconvenience for the big payoff of a quiet and gorgeous location. Maggie, our host was very communicative and helpful. We would love to come back and stay again!

I thought the photos didn't do justice enjoyed the stay and had a great deck to enjoy afternoon sun

Amazing house in an even more amazing location. We loved the deck and chairs and easy beach access! Spent a lot of time sitting on deck watching waves, surfers and beach goers. Unit was spotless and kitchen was very well stocked - and I mean very! Loved the Nespresso and frother. Great bed and comfortable living room with a good TV. Had a fabulous dinner at Cadera. Wish we could have stayed longer. It was a bit of a splurge for just the two of us but so worth it!

The hosts were very helpful and the accommodation was lovely with a great fresh pine smell. It is very close to the beach and I loved falling asleep to the sound of waves on the shore. The morning shower was lovely with good pressure for an on-demand hot water system. Everything we needed was provided for a great stay.

Lovely holiday home with all the amenities in an awesome place. Close to cafes and restaurants and a short stroll to the beach.

Our stay was lovely. Handy location close to town and across from beach, clean and comfortable, and Robin was super helpful and accomodating. Would definitely stay again.
