Family-friendly vacation rentals in Auckland

What a beautiful home and host! The Loft had everything we needed and Danielle waa so accommodating. A lovely little village across the road from the Manly Sailing Club and stunning beach. Enjoyed this friendly neighbourhood! Would definitely come back again! Thank you Danielle!

We had a fabulous weekend at Carla's house - the location is perfect within walking distance to Jervois Road and Ponsonby Road...the house is beautiful, comfortable and was ideal for our weekend away. Carla was also very accomodating with late requests, and very responsive. Thanks so much!!

We had a fantastic stay at The Black Pearl. We loved the sea views, comfy beds and location. The house was easy to find and reach by taxi or bus, the local bowls club was great for a feed and a few drinks, and the French bakery down the road was perfect for a light breakfast before heading out for the day. It was great to have the fireplace for the chilly nights/mornings, and Kurt and Sacha were quick to respond to our messages. Overall an amazing stay and great value for money.

Grace was so accommodating with our request for a long term stay while we waited to move into our new home. Communication was excellent and the place had all the amenities of home. The location was a bit further out than we realized but it was was beautiful and peaceful. Would highly recommend to others

Lovely place, quiet and private with a really nice outlook.

Comfy and homely. Had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. Appreciated the paper towels in the kitchen and the availability of recycling and food waste disposal which is not in many places.

Everything which we needed was provided. Beautiful garden. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to family and friends.

great location to walk to the village or the beach, great outdoor entertainment spaces, everything looked like the pics would stay again

We enjoyed our stay at Rosemary Elizabeth’s place. It is child friendly, neat and feels like home from home, except that we also had the benefit of a reasonable sea view from the balcony. Is definitely a place we would consider booking again.

I booked Emma's place for my bridal team to get ready in. Space-wise, it was perfect, gorgeous views, and amazing communication with the host. We had a slight hiccup with the microwave not being cleaned properly, but Emma was so quick to resolve the issue that it was like it never happened. 10/10 recommend!!

It’s hard to find enough superlatives to describe our stay at Fiona’s. The apartment itself was superb with everything we needed for a 6 night stay. Fiona and her family were incredibly welcoming and helpful and the location was perfect for us as it was so incredibly close to the yacht club where we were attending a junior regatta. Despite being attached to the owners home, the apartment is very private and quiet. If we ever need to stay in Howick again there’s no question we would love to stay at Fiona’s again.

Wonderful hosts and very nice place! We were just in town for one night and this was the perfect place to relax and unwind. Hosts were very accommodating and friendly! Would definitely stay again!

i've stayed at Brendon and Sali's places a few times now and we've become good friends. They will always be my first choice for accomodation when I come back to Auckland. The Cottage is well-located to take advantage of everything The Bays have to offer.

Home from home. Debbie was a brilliant host. We enjoyed the dogs and the relaxed approach we had within the studio flat. There is plenty of space and light and everything we needed. Howick is a great area within walking distance , full of good cafes, restaurants and shops . The Saturday market is a must as is the beach which is also within walking distance . We would definitely return .

My son and myself stayed at Stuart and Sue's property as it was close to the Howick Sailing Club where we were attending the 2025 Nationals of the Starling Yacht. It also provided two bedrooms that was a requirement we had. The property is a guest suite underneath Stuart and Sue's house and the facilities match the description on the listing. On entering the property we found it spotless, and a welcoming card along with some confectionery. Stuart and Sue introduced themselves to us soon after our arrival. The location was good, 5 minutes to the yacht club, and supermarkets very close. We ate out most of the time though had breakfast there and made lunches for the day. The only difficulty we had was dealing with the wet sailing gear at the end of the day. The listing is quite clear that there is no laundry facilities and we were aware of this. Overall we were very happy with our stay. Many thanks to Stuart and Sue..

Villa Pacifica was a wonderful place to stay on Waiheke Island. Enough out of the way to be peaceful and quiet, but close enough to everything to enjoy what Waiheke has to offer. The use of the car was a bonus and collection from and back to the ferry was above and beyond service. The accommodation was very comfortable with all the necessary amenities for our stay. I can thoroughly recommend this place and look forward to visiting again one day.

This is a great spot on a beautiful island. The place is quite spacious, well-stocked, has a nice outdoor area, cosy, and has lots of charms. Astrid also goes the extra mile with nice touches to make you feel welcome. It's centrally located and close to everything I wanted to get to. Highly recommend.

Just loved waking up to the beautiful view in quiet surroundings, and watching the birds enjoy the bird feeder. Lots of space to sit quietly. Perfect after a busy day in the city.

great location being a stroll through the park to Oneroa village centre. worked perfectly for our family with the grandparents downstairs having their own chill area for an afternoon nap😁 and ensuite. the included car was an absolute winner. Will definitely return here 👍

We really enjoyed our stay at Irene’s. It was great to be so close to the beach and there were lots of shops and cafes within walking distance. It’s a scenic 20 minute drive to Snow Planet is that is part of your holiday plans. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay a pleasure. Irene was so friendly, helpful and caring. We would definitely stay again.

Christine's place was ideal for us as we had family down the road. Very quiet, everything provided, loved the cereals and snack treats. Access to a lovely backyard with outdoor seating. Very clean and tidy with lovely linen. The separate lounge was a real bonus. Unusual entry through the garage, but that was very easy. Christine was excellent to communicate with and all instructions and advice were clear and easy to follow . Loved our 3 nights there and will stay again. Thanks Christine

Just like the name says - a haven! Peaceful place to get some time out. Donna was caring and helpful. Really enjoyed my stay and hope to return soon.

We really enjoyed our stay in the apartment. It was clean, tidy and very comfortable. Parking on the street was also easy. Would happily stay here again :)

We had friends around the corner in Torbay. Browns Bay is bigger and only a short (steep) walk down. The Bark and Brew was our fave coffee place. I swam the bay every day. Safe beech. Spacious accommodation with a proper lounge and separate bedroom. Great bed. I think the telly is Sky but we never turned it on! Good wifi. Loads of stuff in the kitchen. It’s all just great!
