Family-friendly holiday rentals in Kaipara Harbour

Sue is wonderful host, very helpful and replying quickly to emails and messages. We had great time in her house, used spa and back yard for relaxing afternoons there. Thanks Sue so much

The view from the property is amazing, and the deck is really well designed so it is sheltered from the sun and the wind most of the time. The kitchen is also well equipped. The driveway was very steep, this was described in the listing, but there were also a couple of turns which we did not expect, but this seems to be very normal in Waiheke. In one room the blinds were broken which we told the host about but noone came to have a look during our one week stay. Also one day a man came to clean the spa in the morning which we were not told about, and the spa is on the same side as the room with the broken blinds, so that could have been awkward. We would have expected no faults at this price point, but the view makes up for it all, so still would highly recommend it.

Thankyou for the beautiful stay at the Chalet. It was private, peaceful and the perfect spot to relax and unwind. Charles offered fantastic recommendations for the island and I would recommend this accomodation to anyone looking for a idyllic getaway.

Really enjoyed our stay, would definitely go back there again. has everything you need and loved our stay.

5 ⭐️ star all the way. Could not have had a better time. Well placed for day trips or walks. Cozy and open with a wonderful outdoor space. Everything I needed well laid. Leeann was very accessible and friendly. Would absolutely return.

We celebrated our babies first birthday here & could not have enjoyed our time more! The drive alone to the space was scenic & felt outer worldly. Arriving to George’s and staying here we were welcomed to an absolute hidden gem! Gorgeous beach view & fun access (our girl loved this) the jacuzzi was a relax haven & our room amenities were to incredible standard. We felt right at home, away from home haha. We can’t wait to come back!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Lovely location by the beach and got some great tips from Bruce about things to do around the stay. Also loved the complementary book gift.

“An Absolute Gem – Highly Recommended!” Our stay was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The property was even more beautiful than the pictures—spotlessly clean, thoughtfully designed, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The location was perfect, offering both tranquility and easy access to local attractions. We especially loved the stunning views from the balcony. It was clear that Anneke put great care into creating a space where guests feel completely at home. Communication with the host was seamless, and their tips for nearby restaurants and activities were invaluable. Every detail, big or small, was taken care of, making this one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. If you’re looking for a place that exceeds expectations, this is it. We can’t wait to come back!

We enjoyed a wonderful stay - two young grandchildren with two of their grandparents. The house was very clean and extremely well appointed. While steep, the driveway was fantastic - just drive slow and sensible. Thank you - ideal return spot!

Beautiful location and private living. Access to the beach easy to find. Thank you for our stay!

Thank you so very much Ailsa and Ian. We loved being able to talk with you both, particularly Marv. He was extremely impressed with Ian's work! The 'cosy bush apartment' was perfect for our needs, if we find ourselves planning another trip to Auckland we will definitely be looking to see if there is availability. Take care and thank you

This was my 2nd stay at Leah's place and it was better then the first time. The location is amazing. Plenty of good café and restaurants in walking distance but also close to all motorways etc. If you are planning on staying in Auckland you won't find better than this. An amazing place and Leah and Tony are wonderful hosts. I will definitely be back.

Maggie’s Place had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. We enjoyed breakfast looking out over the beautiful gardens. The property neighbours the river mouth which was peaceful and a fun spot for some fishing. Kitchen was very well equipped and the kids enjoyed the DVD selection! Recommend and would stay again.

A secluded luxury, the place was immaculate and so so beautiful, we will definitely be booking here in the future.

We only stayed one night but wish it could have been longer. A beautiful beach house, well equipped and in a prime location. Our favorite thing was sitting on the veranda looking out to sea & watching the world go by. Great fish & chips down the road.

A couple of good friends enjoyed two nights at Ruru Cottage, which was cozy, clean and really comfortable. We loved the walk to and along the beach and even sitting there chatting with the rain pouring down outside was peaceful. It exceeded our expectations.

Apartment is ideally located for a central city get away. A lovely outlook and modern amenities.

Great apartment in a great location. . Patrick was super responsive , and his travel and food recommendations were spot on . My favourite place to stay in Auckland now !!

I’ve stayed there many times. It’s always the same: excellent, magical, sunshine or rain, there’s just something about that place that’s great at creating peace and comfort. And Bruce, the cat is a welcome daily visitor.

Jeremy's tiny house was an amazing place to have a weekend getaway for my partner and I. Close enough to town to get Ubers to the train station, but far enough away to feel completely removed from all the hustle and bustle. We loved the hot tub and the cows in the pasture adjacent to the property. Thank you Jeremy!!

We had a wonderful stay at Tracey’s. We were allowed to arrive early after a tiring overnight flight and could immediately relax in the beautiful pool provided with a magnificent slide. Tracey was very nice and supported our stay fully without being overly present at all. Thanks for a wonderful first nights in New Zealand!!

Charming apartment in a great spot to see Auckland.

Good apartment when visiting Auckland. We were able to walk down to the ferry terminal and CBD area quite easily. The car space was really valuable, particularly given how close you are to the city (where parking can be challenging!). Relatively quiet, given how close the neighbours are. Easy to follow the check-in instructions, great communication!

Kerri’s place is in a great location, walkable to most CBD attractions. The apartment was extremely clean and well organized. The bed was very comfortable. Building has 2 gyms for guest use. The host provided tea, coffee, milk, and a few other treats. Kerri was extremely responsive and accommodating. The washer worked great, it’s an all-in-one so the dryer takes a looooong time. The only suggestion I have for Kerri is to put good reading lights next to the bed, so you don’t have to put on the bright overhead lights at bedtime. Thank you Kerri, we sincerely enjoyed our stay, and appreciate your friendly responsiveness. 😊
