Family-friendly vacation rentals in Otapaurau

Wow, this place is amazing. Beautiful setting, accommodation immaculate, spacious, modern and homely. Fantastic outdoor space including the use of a spa (hot tub). Friendly and approachable hosts. Lots of nice little touches. 15 minute drive to Whitianga and hot water beach/Hahei for shops/restaurants. Own transport essential. Fantastic stay, highly recommend, would love to return.

Can’t beat the location! Unit was comfortable and clean

Was one of the best and most relaxing weekends I’ve ever had. Will be a memory I hold with me always.

Perfect rural, hillside cottage overlooking the surrounding hills and orchards. A quick 15-minute drive to Cathedral Cove/Hot Water Beach/Whitianga. The cottage is cozy and has all you need. Furnishings (especially the bed) are very comfortable. Outdoor space was lovely to watch the many birds that congregated here in the evening. Anne and her husband provided recommendations for the area and were available for any questions we had. If looking for a rural getaway, this is the place.

Love love love everything about this home. The views, the animals, the conversations. Everything was like a fairytale. The fruit from the farm was delicious (even tried a new type of fruit I’d never had!), the tub was perfect for a nice relaxing soak after being at the beach all day. Will be coming back here when I visit NZ again. 11/10

Fabulous place to stay! Great location. The house was very clean and tidy. Well equipped kitchen with every thing you need. There is a lovely outdoor area out the front and the spa was a luxury. There are three good sized bedrooms, the beds are quite firm, but fine for a short stay. Gina and George are so kind and welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay again!

Nadine’s house was spacious and extremely well equipped. Great kitchen for a large family. The location is suburban but fine if you are basing your activities elsewhere as we were. The spa pool is a nice extra.

We stayed for a wedding in a near by area and it was perfect for the long weekend. Great location and size for the 4 of us, and great location to the beach/restaurants. Rachel was super responsive and helpful. Would be ideal to not need to bring linen and towels but it was fine to do.

What a great find Kahukura is! 11 of us stayed for a recent wedding, and there was plenty of space for all of us. The house is quirky and full of character, and the outdoor spaces are divine. Tim was a great host: accommodating, helpful and responsive. We will definitely stay again, as we anticipate future holidays in Kuaotunu

Set in a beautiful peaceful spot. Not your typical air b&b, well suited to the outdoorsy type

Thanks for the stay! The area was lovely.

This was a wonderful place to stay. Within 10 minutes of arriving we were sitting on the front patio enjoying the beautiful view. We had a great stay !

Our family really loved our stay here, it was so peaceful and quiet… the house has homey feel and a hour drive from the beautiful beaches, we loved that the cows were right outside our fence, lots to enjoy! Thank you !

I don’t want to rave too much about this place as we want to come back next year and we don’t want it booked out! But really this is a great Bach at a fantastic beach, with a superb back covered deck for all weather relaxation. Clive is great to deal with. Ps the local restaurant has delicious chicken wraps and a great local ginger beer. Four Square has all you’ll need. We hope to be back

The place was exactly what we needed. Very comfortable and great views. Would definitely recommend! Thanks Liz!

Relaxed, peaceful and full of bird songs. All I needed. Oh and the Fireplace inside makes it even more cozy!!

We had a wonderful time staying at the villa! The place was stunning, very close to the town centre and restaurants and was exactly what we were looking for. Jacqui was very easy to communicate with too. Would absolutely stay again!

We had a great stay at Debbie’s! The accommodation was perfectly clean and had everything we needed for our stay.

Place is bigger than it appears. Beds comfy. Step free entrance. Great outdoor area undercover just in front of front door. Access to pool also just outside the front entrance. Ensuite bathroom, kitchen dining and lounge on ground level. 2 bathroom entrances to bathroom downstairs, via bedroom and via beside stairs. Approx 14 internal steps up to the 2 bedrooms and 2nd bathroom. Park right outside the accommodation. Steph at Yoga Whitianga was amazing. Instantly at my side when out of position despite I awaiting hip and knee replacement. Roze from Massage from the Heart made herself available, Monday morning but found unexpectedly we had to leave extra early. Very accommodating. Must go to Kufe Bar & Eatery overlooking the beach, sea, sky ... stunning together with the friendly service. Awesome quirky Garden Bar to go to for brekkie. Coffee excellent
