Family-friendly vacation rentals in One Tree Point

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

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.

Honestly, the photos don't do Scott & Miriam's home justice - there's so much light, warmth and character to this home and you can tell they put a lot of thought into both the structural layout for the family and the overall presentation for guests. Having rented 2 cars and bought another during our stay, parking space was also not a concern. The hot tub was lovely but I'll personally miss the lovely garden space (we thoroughly enjoyed the tomatoes) and the decking which was was perfect for relaxing and just staring out to the beach after a long day. Before even arriving, we were sent a very useful guide to operating different bits of the house as well as local recommendations; our hosts were always available to respond to queries and were quick to offer help. Massive thank you to Scott and Miriam for making us feel so welcome during our first month in NZ!

The house is situated on top of a hill with a breathtaking view. Our families of 10 adults and 4 children spent four nights at the lodge. The house is like maze. Plenty of space for everyone. It's clean, fresh linen and towels and reliable wifi. The kitchen is very well equipped to cater for large groups. The outdoor BBQ and pizza oven were a bonus. Plenty of things for the kids too i.e. trampoline, table tennis, throwing darts and toys. Great communication from the host Daniel. He sent clear and easy to follow instructions a few days before our arrival. We want to go back again and would definitely recommend this place.

This was the perfect weekend get away for us and our spoodle. The apartment is well presented and in a peacful location . Aprilanne and William are great hosts. They have thought of every detail to make your stay enjoyable, freshly baked bread, home made yogurt and fresh eggs. If you like walking, bird watching and fabulous views then this is the place for you.

We and our two kids thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ian and Sue’s. The stunning view is to die for. Quick access to beach was amazing. Although a motel, it offers very good privacy. Very family and kids friendly. Ian and Sue are quick to communicate and Ian was very welcoming when we arrived. To top it, the place was squeaky clean and adequately equipped. We will definitely be back.

Great little stay at the sleep out. Erika was very responsive to our questions. Kids loved being so close to the playground! Perfect for a little adventure.

One of our best AirBnB experiences! Beautiful location close to the river, friendly hosts, outstanding amenities and facilities and easy access to the town of Waipu and the nearby beaches. We only wish we had stayed longer! Would highly recommend.

We had a great stay at Ross’s bach. The house is comfy and spacious and it had everything we needed. It’s in a nice, quiet spot but still close to plenty of activities. Communication from Ross was excellent.

amazing property with spectacular views. thanks for sharing your beautiful place with us.

The bach was perfect, location incredible and Claire was lovely to deal with, we will be back!

Nice clean and quiet place, and walking distance to small supermarket and coffee. Good set up with comfy double beds in the three bedrooms and nice open plan kitchen and lounge. Great area to explore from this nice place. Highly recommend.

Amazing place to stay! Such a beautiful holiday spot.

Lorna's bach is a true little gem in a hidden paradise, just a few minutes from the beach, quite spacious, modern apartment with own terrace. it's possible to use the SUP board and paddle over to the beautiful sandspit - a highlight in itself! Lorna is an amazing host, so kind, caring and helpful! Best accommodation i have stayed at in NZ. Highly recommended!

Pacific Rendezvous is a great place to stay on the Tutukaka coast. It's within a short distance of the marina, restaurants, other facilities, and fabulous beaches. The resort has private beaches and lots of activities, such as tennis and a playground. The staff are friendly, warm, and accommodating of guest needs.

Wonderful spot with a comfortable house and outstanding pool! our family loved the great outdoors entertaining area and enjoyed our Christmas week stay immensely. Thoroughly recommend this property.

We love our stay at Greg's place. It's a great place to stay with the family who likes privacy and calming surrounding. It's close to town and beach, love the spa and pool although it was ice cold during our stay but I bet it was great on a more sunny day 😅 Overall, its worth the rate and love it!

Andrea and Mike were very kind and responsive. The couple run the place rather efficiently and respond to the customers' requests very quickly. We found that the ensuite bathroom was a little smelly and the hosts were trying all their means to eliminate the odour for us and even offered to switch to another available suite for us - surely they care for their customers. Thank you Andrea and Mike, we had a great time at the kohinui cottage! Kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the hot tub, amazing place to be!

Even better than the pictures. My family and I had the BEST time at this property. What a beautiful location and great host. Excellent experience.

This is very nice place to stay. A quiet area with some good walks. My situation was a little different as I wasn't on holiday and wanted somewhere quiet and reasonably close to the hospital where I was visiting my husband each day. The property is off the road and there are auto gates. As I was on my own this made me feel very safe - on top of which Genevieve was in the main house a lot of the day. It was comfortable and cosy (given my stay was during the winter) and Genevieve and her husband went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. Thoroughly recommend and if I ever need to be in Whangarei for any length of time I hope I can use this accommodation again.

Nice and easy getaway in a lovely, private setting. Thanks for having me!

Matt and family were lovely welcoming and generous hosts. The newly renovated, incredibly large home was fantastic, situated on a large, private property up a country road. We were unfortunate to have shockingly wet weather for most of the time despite it being summer, but the spacious house with many areas to lounge and great sound system, meant we could all relax without being on top of each other. Matt aware of the bad weather set up the table tennis table for us in the large garage which entertained us heaps. And many outdoor baths enjoyed on the enclosed wrap around deck with great views. The kids enjoyed feeding the friendly chickens. The area itself is fantastic with many beaches, vineyards and lots to do, with Matakana only a short 10 min mite drive for coffee and pastry runs! We were kindly treated by Matt to some of his whitebait fritters, which I’d recommend going to the Saturday market for. Thanks Matt and family for a great stay for my family visiting from the UK.
