Family-friendly vacation rentals in Northland

Alison’s place was perfect for two young families. Incredible location, so central to the shops and an easy stroll to the estuary. The house is really well equipped. Lots of toys and books for the kids. We loved the set up with the outdoor shower and spa! Great outdoor area for Bbq. Ali was very responsive We loved our stay, thanks

Superb balcony views from an elevated position. The hot tub was an added bonus. Peter gave us a welcoming run down of how to operate things which was very useful. Really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect spot for a relaxing wekend with friends. We loved how close it was to the beach and the bikes made it so easy to get around Omaha. Kate was super helpful and accommodating.

Leanne was a wonderful host; excellent with communication and very helpful. The accomodation has a stunning view and is beautifully kept - comfortable, clean and just right for our stay (a two-nighter). The location was excellent; close to the city which has wonderful restaurants - of note The Quay. Highly recommended.

Onca again a lovely stay in a perfect spot. Everything very smooth and easy. Will be booking again next year

This is the most outstanding home we’ve ever stayed in and we’ve stayed in a lot of amazing homes. The well thought out design, perfectly equipped house (kitchen to joyfully cook meals, luxurious linens, extras for beach visits, really absolutely everything you’d want), and a gorgeous interior. The house is situated perfectly with privacy from the unit next door. The whole backside of the home is glass with giant sliders to open, catch the breeze and watch the ocean. The moonrise over the ocean and the sunrise over the ocean from bed is the cherry on top. This peaceful quiet space is number one on our list! Reserve it!

Five adults and six children had a wonderful weekend in Mangawhai, using Carolynn's house as our base. There was plenty of space for everyone to find their own corner, both inside and out. The kitchen was big enough for several cooks to work in at once and the dining table was big enough for us to all sit around so mealtimes were a treat, not a chore. Amazing view to the east, including sunrise across water and moonscape sand dunes. The spa at the end of the day was a special treat for our family, as was the large TV screen in the lounge. We missed a few books and board games but everything else was in good supply. Thank you for a special long weekend with my family Carolynn.

Very clean and tidy house with outstanding views over Mangawhai Estuary and out to the sea beyond. And the deck to enjoy the views made it even better!! We will definitely look to book here again if we are up this way in the future.

We had an amazing stay at Black Rock in Tutukaka. Alan allowed us to have a small wedding and it was just a magical time. House was spacious and views were amazing. Private access to small bay was just lovely.

It's a little hard to find, but once you get there you are rewarded with an amazing place to stay. Super chill beachy vibe with great outdoor area and fantastic view.

A delightful place to stay - roomy, clean, with everything we wanted, all set in a beautiful garden. A much-appreciated stop over. Thank you Maggie, and your friends who were looking after your place - we loved the note they left on the table and the recommendation for McLeods for our dinner. Thank you

What a wonderfull place to stay! The unit is very spacious, leading out into a beautiful garden. The location is perfect, right across from the start of a waterfalls walk. The hosts are so kind too. Definitely recommend staying here!

Very comfortable little place with a ton of nice little touches like artwork, good appliances, comfortable outdoor seating. Very close to the beach and the estuary. Even if you aren't a dog person, the dogs are so well behaved and quiet, they occasionally will visit you and you can give them a pat if you like.

We all absolutely loved staying at the Black Box. Mark has provided a top quality holiday retreat for guests. Both the house and garden were perfect. The view was out of this world. It is my favourite place out of the many holiday homes we have stayed in over our month’s travelling around NZ. Thank you for letting us stay there.

Margaret and Lou were the nicest Airbnb hosts we've ever had! They were so accommodating and flexible and made us feel like we were in a home away from home. The location was great with stunning views but only a short walk down the town and jetty etc. The villa had everything we needed for a approx week long stay (full kitchen, laundry etc). Would highly recommend for a Paihia stay!

Wicked location right on the beach, simple and cozy accommodation, nothing eles matters when you stay here. Pure relaxation and fun. Took kids and dog. We went swimming, fishing off the rocks and kayaking. Local shop only round the corner. We have already booked our next stay!

We were six couples who had a thoroughly enjoyable break from city life for 5 days. Used it as a base to do day trips to go fishing, trip to Cape Reinga and Kerikeri. Big comfortable home and friendly responsive host

Absolutely gorgeous property. Comfortable beds and large bathrooms. It even smelled great when we arrived. We ordered the breakfast basket which was delivered with flowers and was so good. The bbq basket was also worth it. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

The place was great, and just as it was described. The host (Olivia) knew we had a young child with us, and she left us some toys and a high chair for us to use. We were happy with everything.

We came up from Auckland for a wedding & the property was local to everything The property was great and both Rob & his wife were lovely. We barely seen them so we decided to go say hello down at their Phat House bar in haruru. We had a couple of nephews come and visit while we were up aswell . Catching up with whanau and coming back to relax there was lovely .

Had a really memorable holiday here with my family, such friendly & welcoming neighbours. Would recommend staying here again if we had another family trip☺️

Quiet little place, amazing views and a quick drive into town. Highly recommended for a for a night or two getaway.

We had a fantastic stay at Pacific Rendezvous, there were lots of amenities on site and beautiful walks we could access straight from our accomodation. The staff were friendly and the apartment was comfortable and gad everything we needed. We would love to visit again!

Our family really enjoyed this stay! We loved the layout of the home, having the sleep out allowed the kids to have their own space and we weren’t feeling like we were all on top of each other. The pool isn’t massive but enough for everyone to cool down. The distance to the shops is so close which was super handy for grocery top ups or ice cream runs. As it’s on the main road it is noisy in the front room and impacts getting in and out of the drive - but not an issue for us but worth noting. The host was super responsive as we were 30mins early. Will def be back to stay!
