Family-friendly vacation rentals in Whitianga

Wow, this place is amazing. Beautiful setting, accommodation immaculate, spacious, modern and homely. Fantastic outdoor space including the use of a spa (hot tub). Friendly and approachable hosts. Lots of nice little touches. 15 minute drive to Whitianga and hot water beach/Hahei for shops/restaurants. Own transport essential. Fantastic stay, highly recommend, would love to return.

Great stay, unreal location, awesome for kids. We will be back!

Was one of the best and most relaxing weekends I’ve ever had. Will be a memory I hold with me always.

Love love love everything about this home. The views, the animals, the conversations. Everything was like a fairytale. The fruit from the farm was delicious (even tried a new type of fruit I’d never had!), the tub was perfect for a nice relaxing soak after being at the beach all day. Will be coming back here when I visit NZ again. 11/10

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!

The location was great in the middle of town , half a block from beach access and walkable to great restaurants and brew pub. The beds were comfortable, kitchen well stocked , multiple areas to gather out side and a hot tub to enjoy after the beach. A good choice for family fun with beach equipment and water sport equipment provided.

Great place! Very nice house, loved the location!

My friend and I had the most wonderful stay at Ngarumu Bay, just 9 km out of Thames. Coro was an absolutely amazing host—so friendly, welcoming, and easy to chat with. Her place was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The views were stunning, and Coro went out of her way to give us great local recommendations that really made our trip special. We felt right at home and genuinely didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a peaceful, beautiful spot with a lovely host!

Just a majestic place. Many memories created with family. Highly recommended. Wonderful gesture in keeping the historical home presentable and accomodative with superb views

Set in a beautiful peaceful spot. Not your typical air b&b, well suited to the outdoorsy type

The view from this property is absolutely breathtaking, making for an unforgettable stay. The host was fantastic—warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local area. Their tips and insights really enhanced my experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for stunning scenery and excellent hospitality!

Had an amazing stay. Donna was such a great host. The kids loved the outdoor bath. Would highly recommend.

The house provided us a peaceful retreat from the city. Our family and friends enjoyed a pleasant stay from Paul’s lovely house! Highly recommended :)

The place was very accommodating, and Ngaire was really kind. The location was great with a beautiful view, making the stay very relaxing. Overall, it was a lovely stay!

Sandy's place is big, way more than enough space for 2 of us. Sandy allowed us to check-in early since we arrived early. There are signs on the street which points to her place. It's easy to find. We also got a bonus. Sandy invited us to feed the eels in a newby stream. It's cool. Thanks. I highly recommend others to her place.

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.

A lovely experience at Jacqui’s place. Exactly as described in the photos. Kitchen very well stocked with utensils, cooking equipment etc. Dedicated parking near the unit. As we were there in May we didn’t use the pool. A short drive to the numerous shops and restaurants. A lovely beach that would be popular in the warmer months. Would recommend staying here.

We had a great stay at Debbie’s! The accommodation was perfectly clean and had everything we needed for our stay.

Lovely spacious apartment. Clean and tidy with everything needed. Short walk (a minute or two) to a lovely beach. Short drive away from the many great restaurants we discovered in Whitianga.

We loved our stay at Jacqui’s apartment. The pool and spa was great, despite the weather.

Closely drivable to town for anything you may need, but an amazing view from this side of town! Perfect little place. Well kept and everything you need inside. Would love to come stay again!

Place is bigger than it appears. Beds comfy. Step free entrance. Great outdoor area undercover just in front of front door. Access to pool also just outside the front entrance. Ensuite bathroom, kitchen dining and lounge on ground level. 2 bathroom entrances to bathroom downstairs, via bedroom and via beside stairs. Approx 14 internal steps up to the 2 bedrooms and 2nd bathroom. Park right outside the accommodation. Steph at Yoga Whitianga was amazing. Instantly at my side when out of position despite I awaiting hip and knee replacement. Roze from Massage from the Heart made herself available, Monday morning but found unexpectedly we had to leave extra early. Very accommodating. Must go to Kufe Bar & Eatery overlooking the beach, sea, sky ... stunning together with the friendly service. Awesome quirky Garden Bar to go to for brekkie. Coffee excellent
