Family-friendly vacation rentals in Matakana Island

Loved the location lovely and peaceful. Melanie and Kirk were lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Close to Cambridge and cafes etc. 5 Stags restaurant and bar at Leamington is a must do the food is great. Thanks for your hospitality Melanie and Kirk.

Really enjoyed out stay. Fantastic location and a great sized apartment. The kids loved the pools and it was super convenient to have the use of 2 car parks. Thanks for having us and sorting out a porta cot. We'd love to come and stay again :)

Beautiful, spotless space with everything we could need. Great for the kids. Thank you Lynley for sharing your bach with us

Chris was a lovely host, the unit is compact and comfortable and has all of your basic amenities. My kids loved the spa pool, nothing better than unwinding in a hot tub after a long day of sightseeing! would definitely love to come back and stay in the future, maybe our next visit to hobbiton.

The cottage is in a great location. It was smaller than expected and unfortunately we were unable to sit outside but otherwise the cottage was a great place for a relaxing vacation. Would recommend and stay there again. Thanks Sharon.

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.

Fabulous place to stay! Great location. The house was very clean and tidy. Well equipped kitchen with every thing you need. There is a lovely outdoor area out the front and the spa was a luxury. There are three good sized bedrooms, the beds are quite firm, but fine for a short stay. Gina and George are so kind and welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay again!

Such a beautiful peaceful place to stay with lovely gardens. Fun to see the cows running in the fields nearby. Nice breakfast items including fresh fruit, milk, juice, yogurt, honey, cereal, bread and jelly.

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!

thanks Fiona, we loved our stay and would love to come back. such a great location . 10/10

Sharon was a friendly, informative host from the outset. The privacy of her place along with its amenities were perfect for our situation. We would not look to book elsewhere if in Whangamata again.

We had a fantastic week at Graeme's place. The proximity to the beach was perfect and the house was wonderfully equipped and lots of space for 6 adults and 1 toddler. Graeme left toys for our grandson to play with and had a small mattress all arranged for him. It was perfect. Would highly recommend.

Great little place to stay, super close to the beach. We visited with our two year old and it was a perfect space for a family. Has everything you need. Would stay again.

This is my second stay here because I loved my first visit so much. The house is beautiful, accommodating and perfect for visiting Cambridge. Every little detail has been considered. Bedding is gorgeous and you’ll sleep well in comfortable beds. The gardens are a great place to relax after a busy day sightseeing. Easy walk to town and Saturday markets. Yes I will stay again.

such a convenient and beautiful stay for the cycle trail! only 10 min walk to the spa (must book).such a lovely character home and very neat and tidy

Great place for a short stay with our puppy in Tauranga, and not too far from most places that we wanted to go since we had a car. The room was warm, spacious and comfortable, had everything we needed. Jacqui has been responsive and helpful to our needs/questions. Walking distance to a beautiful park, which our puppy had such great time running around.

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

Kate’s place is a hidden gem. It was an awesome place to spend a few nights. Close to Cambridge township and cafes.

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.

Leanne’s place was so perfect for our family holiday. We staying during the busy new year period but the location is perfect it’s close to omanu surf club which isn’t as busy as the main part of the mount which we loved. The place itself is lovely and Leanne was so great - she left us a load of kombucha which our kids loved! It’s really close to the mount and Bayfair shops and there are a few coffee places around the omanu surf club - including a new cafe surf road. This place was perfect for our family of 4.

We had a wonderful stay at Gloria’s. absolute perfect for 3 kids under 5 with two adults. So much for the kids to do! Gloria had a huge range of toys available and the pool was perfect - beautifully heated and a nice area to be in. Full kitchen was great too. Definitely recommend 😊

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

Our stay in Jo's place was a little special because we arrived during the lockdown. After more than 5 airbnb hosts canceled or declined our reservatin because we had to do our self-isolation, Jo and her family were the only one who took us in, and for that we are incredibly greatfull. This place is really a full equipped appartment within a big house, with a beautifull garden, a park right next to the house, a beautifull beach 3 minutes walking and a big supermarket 10 minutes walking. You will be in a perfect location, have your own privacy and feel like in home.

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.
