Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Whitianga

Thanks Brad, we loved your place at Whangapoua, such a great spot! Definitely somewhere we’d like to come back, loved the house and area - has a lovely feel and something for everyone in the family!

Great communication from start to finish. House was an easy walk to the beach and very tidy. Appreciate the note and homely touches. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful surroundings with a nice view of active farm. There’s a booklet of detailed “things to do” on the table which was helpful. We enjoyed bush walk in the private property and gone to nearby beach to collect some pipis. Loved our stay.

Gorgeous place with very comfortable beds and probably one of the nicest kitchen setups we've come across, that will be added to the life goals list!

Beautiful home. Stunning location. Ian's home was clean, spacious, clutter free, and so comfortable to live in for a few days. Whiritoa is very small -the main highlights for us were the beach (5 mins walk), hikes, and local general store (10 mins walk). The beach was only safe to swim at on the weekends when the life guards were on duty (due to the big waves), but there is a lagoon at the north end of the beach that is calm and beautiful -tree swings, rock pools, etc. The house was easy to find, had ample and very comfortable seating for our family of 5 both indoors and out. The design and decor are thoughtful. Best espresso machine we've come across in an Airbnb! Beds were very comfortable. Windows and sliding glass doors on all sides to let the light and breeze in. Water pressure was amazing. Thank you to Ian for his very responsive communication and for accommodating a late check out! Highly recommend.

Can’t recommend Mark’s place enough - it was an absolute delight. It’s a great space, had everything we needed and more, and was perfect for us and our small kids. Would also be great for a group of adults. The location is great for exploring the coromandel (loads of beaches within easy drives, the driving creek railway, big supermarket, fish and chips on the beach etc etc). Had a fantastic trip and would happily come back.

The view was outstanding. The location was perfect for our family group of 5 - close enough to town to make going there easy, but far enough away to be totally peaceful. The living space was nice and big. Our family enjoyed the board games provided. It was great to have the separate cottage for my Mum to stay in - it had a nice spacious area for her to hang out in when she wanted some quiet time, and it had a fridge so she was able to make herself cups of tea in the morning without having to come to the main house. Sonia was very helpful and responsive during our stay. Would happily stay there again!

Great place to stay, close to the shops, close to the estuary. So great having access to the bikes - loved riding around the area. Brilliant host, thanks so much Jo

Enjoyed staying at Sailors Rest. It was a short drive to the town centre and many activities. The continental breakfast, spade and beach towels were an added bonus. The area was quiet and on the canal. Whitianga is a beautiful place to visit and Dorothy was a wonderful host.

Another wonderful stay at Matt and Amanda's, always worth getting in if you can. Will be back

Julia’s place was perfect for our overnight, just wished we had more time to explore the gorgeous area. When we arrived Julia gave us a tour of the property and unit. The views were spectacular! The unit was tidy, cozy and well stocked. Julia even provides snacks and breakfast! Her and Doug gave us wonderful suggestions for dinner out. A beautiful sunrise topped off a pleasant stay. Would highly recommend this unit.

This was a lovely place to stay with a comfy bed. It was great to be able to do washing here and so convenient with the washer and dryer inside the unit. The balcony and view are perfect for a sunset G&T and there are restaurants within easy walking distance. The highlight of our trip was a sea kayaking adventure to cathedral cove (out of Hahei). Highly recommend.

Lovely units and Mary very helpful and pleasant.

This is a very idyllic place, a secluded oasis surrounded by trees and birds, but only a 10 minute drive to the world class Otama beach which is only visited by a handful of people. In the other direction the beautiful seaside town of Whitianga is easily reached. Muriel and Evan are absolutely lovely people, we enjoyed meeting and talking, seeing their garden and visiting the eels which live in a small creek on the property. Thank you so much for having us.

We loved our stay here. The place was very clean, and our host checked in daily to see if there was anything we needed. It was just a couple minutes walk from the beach, which was beautiful and often there was was only one or two people walking so it felt like our own private beach.

Great little spot very close to restaurants and other amenities in Cooks Beach. Jo and Steve were very friendly both in online and in person communications, and their dog Lucy is a doll. Would recommend this spot to anyone visiting the Coromandel area.

The view that we wake up to every morning is spectacular! The compact kitchen has everything one needs to prepare a decent meal. Alan is friendly and walks us through what we needed to know about the house. There are reclining chairs and grill provided for our use.

We loved our staying at Faye’s place in Whangamata. It was sparkling clean and well appointed, and the location is amazing - just a tiny walk to the amazing beach with beautiful sea views from the living room and balcony. Faye was so friendly with her communication and was extremely understanding when we interrupted her Friday evening by accidentally locking ourselves out 🫣 (thanks again!!). I would high recommend a stay here and would love to visit again. All the best Faye.

Great place to stay only a 1 minute walk from the huge Whitianga beach. Comfortable space for 2 people, and there’s an excellent fish and chip shop between you and the beach. Nice setup with a BBQ and microwave. Recommended.

Great place, very spacious and tidy. Has everything you need. Best location in town, 2 minutes walk to the beach and the local shops. Would recommend.

Easy check in instructions, close to supermarket and restaurants, very comfortable bed (we slept well!), tea, coffee and milk available and everything you need to self catering. 2 bedrooms available. Parking available onsite. Thank you for having us!
