Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Mangawhai

A fabulous stay of five days - made even better by a spell of great weather and wall to wall sunshine. Beautiful and varied beaches all nearby, from Waipu through to Te Arai. Accommodation layout perfect for family, children and grandparents allowing a bit of separation. Peaceful & private location. Well equipped. Lovely high ceiling living space with excellent indoor/outdoor area. Minor access issue caused by 3 year old swiftly fixed by Sarah with the minimum of fuss, for which we were very grateful.

Such a great house and in a great location! We loved everything about it. It was spacious, clean, and close to the beach. It was a perfect place to stay when in the Snells Beach area. Would have loved to stay longer if we could.

Lisa was so lovely, and we loved staying at her place. It was even better than the photos! An amazing kitchen for cooking, a pool, a spa, and spacious comfortable areas throughout made for the perfect getaway. Lisa was super friendly and helpful throughout, we would absolutely stay here again.

Was great for a big family, family Friendly. Loved the location and outdoor space.

"We had the pleasure of staying at Jessica's house for the second time, and it was just as wonderful as our first visit! The property is clean, beautifully maintained, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

We have three young children and there was so much for them to do here. Plenty of toys, games, drawing supplies, dvds, a big t.v. and a playground outside to keep them entertained. Just what we needed. I highly recommend this home if you have young children. Very relaxing place to stay! Playground just down the road.

Beautiful spot in Mangawhai, views from the kitchen and lounge areas are amazing. The home was spotless and is the perfect venue for exploring everything that Mangawhai has to offer. Great value for money and I would definitely recommend.

Nice balcony! Love those sand bags for sun bath. Tidy and nice interior. Good location, Highly recommended l. But it seems missing “ No.4 “ on a drive way.

We had a superb stay with Raewyn and Theo at Ripples N Tide Studio. The studio had nice touches for our arrival and everything was exactly as pictured. Despite the weather not coming to the party, we were able to entertain ourselves with watching the bird life at our door step and had the option of a plethora of books available to us, or the short drive into town to have a look around. We really enjoyed our stay and chatting to Theo. Very much recommend :)

Thank you for hosting us. The place was beautiful and perfect for what we needed. Bonus few toys for the kids to play with and bonus perk coffee for us parents in the AM! Comfortable beds and felt very homely. Lovely place and would stay again. Thank you!

It's a warm, warm and unforgettable memory.Because it is in the first row of excellent sea view coast, sit on the balcony facing the sea entrance 180 degrees, enjoy breakfast, slip mobile phone, go through magazines, and so on. With the patience, the thoughtfulness of the host couple, it made us "at home". Thanks again to their husband and wife for such a clean, tidy and comfortable place to stay.

Murray’s studio was next level,everything was perfect and the view was amazing. So much space and very well equipped I would highly recommend a stay at Murray and Patsys studio.

Lovely stay, highly recommend Lil's place. The location is awesome, so relaxing, comfortable bed, everything you need for a great stay is provided, love there is a full size fridge, BBQ, washing machine and dryer amongst other essentials. Lil is very helpful and there is plenty of information about walks, where to go and what to see. Being able to walk across the road to the water each day was a bonus and the views from the unit are forever changing as the tides come and go and the sun rises and sets. Some days there are cattle next door at the fence. I highly recommend staying and will return in the near future.

Perfect stay. A lovely apartment with views of the water- we ate dinner every evening sitting on the patio enjoying the bay. The apartment itself was clean and very comfortable. Robyn was so helpful with suggestions of things to do in the area and on our forward journey. Always responsive and kind. Loved the personal touches such as fresh flowers and cookies. Wish we had organized things to stay longer. Thank you Robyn!

Had a lovely stay here and the views are amazing as you have the choice of making dinner on the barbecue, and enjoy the restful and peaceful surroundings and el fresco dining:-) Easy to stroll down and walk along the beach also.

We had a great stay in a fantastic area - that view! The apartment was neat and tidy, and John and Colleen were friendly and responsive. It is worth noting that the owners do live above the apartment (which was not an issue at all, we had complete privacy, but work mentioning as I don't think it is mentioned in the listing). Would definitely stay again in beautiful Whangarei!

This is our third time staying at Alex’s place. Fantastic amenities and location. Feels like home every time we come back.

Very friendly, very tidy well looked after property

We loved our stay at Gay’s pool suite. The decorations were so charming, the gardens lush, the pool so fun right outside. And Gay made a bunch of garden games available to our kids which was awesome. Everything we needed was there. It was a lovely stay.

It was a lovely relaxing spot to spend a week in a rural setting with sea views out to the Poor Knights islands. A large property, accessed off a private road so very secluded and peaceful. Handy location half way between Matapouri Bay and Tutukaka, although you do need a car to go anywhere. Kitchen was very well equipped including basic supplies. Access to an indoor swimming pool, ability to charge the EV, and use of the laundry was a bonus. The hosts were very welcoming on arrival and explained the facilities and beach access path. Special touches were a bottle of wine and locally made nut brittle on arrival, and acknowledgement of our wedding anniversary which was during our stay. Annette and Bianca were super helpful and responded promptly to any questions.

Imagine a place where every moment feels like a dream. Just steps away, the beach beckons with its crystal clear water. Downstairs, the spa offers a haven of relaxation, while upstairs, the tranquil surroundings and breathtaking harbour views create a perfect retreat. The weather? Absolutely stunning. The house? Imacculate in every detail. Linda, the host? She goes above & beyond, adding delightful touches like quality coffee pods paired with chocolates, a chilled bottle of bubbkes in the fridge, and#a thoughtful welcome breakfast pack. This is not just accommodation; it's#a first class experience that inspires & rejuvenates! It was hard to leave!

Fabulous hosts, lovely accommodation. We stayed for three nights, and all loved it including our puppy. If we didn't have to be back home for things, we would've extended our stay by a couple more nights. I'm sure we will be back again though. Thanks for the lovely stay

My family and I really love Lorraine’s dream home,everything is perfect, far beyond my expectations.The location is the best, it’s just a stone’s throw away from the beach, and there are lots of lovely bistros and a great supermarket here, you can get all the things you need.
