Family-friendly holiday rentals in Taumarunui

Amazing is the only word to describe this place! The view, the location, the town! Must stay!

Great home Water just across the road and walk to cafes easy

We had a great stay. The remote location and wood burning stove plus wood burning hot tub made things feel very cozy and unique. We had a blast keeping the fires going and spending time in the tub on the deck and watching deer and birds go by. Highly recommend the experience!

Homey, light filled clean house. Very well equipped for self caterer. Good heating. 15 minute drive to Whakapapa Visitor Centre. 2 minute drive (or walkable distance) to bars/restaurants, 4 Square supermarket at petrol station and liquor store.

Such a beautiful home with lots of character. Perfect spot for a few families and lots of room for the kids to run around outside. We loved our stay and will be back hopefully next snow season 😊

The most beautiful home. Space, style fully and equipped beyond many places I’ve stayed. Stunning, absolutely stunning location, you would never tire of the view. Hope to come again.

Andy was a very responsive and proactive host which made us feel relaxed and reassured to reach out if needed. The home was as described and suited our needs perfectly. The view was just glorious and the location fantastic!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean and well equipped. Hosts very responsive, helpful and friendly. Can’t wait to come back!

We had such memorable stay at Mary’s. Easy to find and so close to the lake. Beautifully decorated and so comfortable if felt like home. Mary gave us some great tips for local attractions and left us extra special treats just to make us feel welcome! Could not recommend highly enough.

Neat house to stay in, had everything we were after. Great location for what we wanted that weekend. Awesome host

Was a great place to stay for our group. Had everything we needed and lovely to have the beds and linen done for us. Great location and view and very nice people to deal with. Thank you for having us.

Stunning view of Mount Ruapehu as you drive to Ohakune! Great region to explore or rest for the night! Kate has a guestbook with everything you need to know about her place, recommendations of where to eat, and what to explore in the area. We needed a night’s rest before driving to Auckland all the way from Wellington, and I’m glad we chose her place. 5 stars!

Great place to stay, has everything you need, clean and tidy, clear instructions.

Lovely location overlooking Lake Taupo and into the sunset. Spacious deck to relax, eat and enjoy the view. Helpful responsive host. Very clean and well equipped living areas. Lovely Millennium Hotel restaurant right across the street. Great location for a relaxing break.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Clint was a great and helpful host. We used this place as a base to do the Tongariro Crossing hike. A quick 20 minute drive to the car shuttle parking lot for the hike. Clint also suggested some nice beaches nearby. It was great to have the whole house to ourselves.

This is a beautiful house in a great location. Can highly recommend if you’re looking for a family friendly spot - walkable to shops, cafes, activities, etc. Probably the best holiday let I’ve stayed in when it comes to provisions and set up. Hosts were great. Gave great advice and instructions and were super fast and responsive to any queries. My only complaint is that it’s already booked up for our next planned trip and I didn’t get in quick enough 😭. Thanks for sharing your beautiful house. Highly highly recommended!

Lovely spot by the lake. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful location. Great house for our two family home holiday. Stayed in April and the heating was lovely. The heated pool was a nice surprise. Plenty of private areas if you needed space. Having access to the walking track by the lake was fantastic. House is starting to need some love but still a very lovely stay.

Amazing lake side apartment - the pool was a game changer it was heated, the kids had multiple swims each day. Great location, tidy apartment and super comfy beds - we will be back :)

A wonderful stay. We felt completely at home. The space is impeccable -- clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed with everything we could possibly need.

James was a top host , great communication, cannot flaut him at all. House was perfect, loved our stay in taupo. Great location close to town , beautiful apartment, nice and clean and everything you need. Kids loved the pool. Will be back, thanks James for having us.

Despite an initial hiccup, we had a fantastic time at Tracy and Damien’s home. Tracy was very responsive and helpful. We loved our stay and will hopefully return to stay here again!

Kim’s place was a perfect location to walk to the lake, shops and restaurants. It was perfect for two couples with a bedroom and bathroom at each end. The apartment was roomy with a fantastic outdoor area. The kitchen was so well stocked with crockery, baking dishes appliances etc but needed tea and coffee - and a hairdryer!

Great spot for a short stay and right on the lake!
