Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Oceania

We had a wonderful stay at Quarry Hill Lookout. The house was incredibly well-stocked, especially the kitchen, which had everything we needed and more. There were plenty of books and games that kept our family entertained throughout the trip. I especially enjoyed the coffee machine, which quickly became part of my morning routine and a calming start to each day. One thing that really stood out was the thoughtful placement of clear, specific instructions around the house. Whether it was using the fire heater or operating the coffee maker, everything was meticulously explained to make our stay easy and enjoyable. The indoor heating worked very well and kept us warm and comfortable. There was also a large area for parking, which made it very convenient. Nicola was a super friendly and thoughtful host who made us feel right at home. Highly recommended!

Really appreciated Joseph’s fast response in offering for us to check in early!

Just the most fabulous stay - better than the pictures. We were so comfortable, we couldn't have wanted for anything, Samara had it! Designed like Pinterest pics, so cozy with the fire pits and great communication with hosts. Thanks Samara!!

An incredibly special place! What a great stay. The home is beautiful with all the mod cons and spectacular views. Super comfortable beds and luxurious bath tub to relax in. We enjoyed the walk down to the beach and lots of local walks and nature to see. It was a great base for exploring the area and then come back to a fantastic home to recharge in. Would thoroughly recommend this place to stay and host was very informative and helpful.

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful property. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a true home—not just a holiday rental. Everything was so well maintained, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully set up to make our stay comfortable and stress-free. Ben and Tess were exceptional hosts—warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. Communication was seamless, and they went above and beyond to make us feel at home. It’s the little things that really stood out: a pantry stocked with essentials like olive oil, a lovely selection of teas and coffee, and even fresh milk waiting in the fridge. These thoughtful touches made such a difference. The decor throughout the house was absolutely stunning—stylish yet cozy, with so much attention to detail. And the views? Absolutely breathtaking. The home is in the perfect spot, with scenery that you’ll remember long after your trip is over. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it!

Absolutely magical stay, we didn’t want to leave. Such a beautiful space that had everything we needed! The beds were incredibly comfortable, the kids loved the pool, kitchen was really well equipped and the location was perfect for us as we had a wedding right around the corner. 5 mins from the beach and cafes too. Will hopefully be back for another weekend stay soon!

I have been to several AirBnBs around the world and I know special when I experience it. Let me tell you, this place and the experience it provides is special. For one, as the other reviewers have said, pictures don’t do it justice. But the other thing that is really special is the relationships Jimmy has built with his local partners. It’s spectacular and impressive. Jimmy is clearly a wonderful human being and you can feel good about staying at his place. Take advantage of this local recommendations - Akash, Mere, Garry, Ravi. All were wonderful and made our stay super memorable. My one big disappointment is that I made plans with Dan/Danny/Rakirakidan and he didn’t call or show up which means we missed the opportunity to visit the different islands and snorkel. I got great tips from the other reviews so let me pay it forward. Ask Gerry to cook you some local seafood and request the crab. Make sure you know how eat a whole crab. Don’t wait until your last day. Eat leftovers.

We stayed at FivePendrell and Eva was a fantastic host. Great communication - always responded to messages promptly, the home exceeded our expectations, a very clean, modern and comfortable space, well appointed, great location situated in a lovely bush backdrop with incredible views. Loved the extra touch of freshly baked banana bread waiting for us when we arrived and all the tea and coffee selections. My only complaint is that I wish we could have stayed longer! Highly recommend this home and host. Thanks Eva!

We really loved our stay at Lee’s place. Basic things like detergent laundry, dishwashing liquid, shampoo, body wash, conditioner were present. The appliances especially the washing machine and dryer were useful for us. We went during winter holiday so we have a lots of clothes to wash. My husband and sister love the kitchen. My parents said that taking shower takes time because they love the rain shower. For me, I was really amazed by the view. The photos really matched the place itself. Thanks Lee!! We will surely comeback here if we will go back to Melbourne again.

Great stay and we would’ve booked for a longer trip for this Airbnb but our family provided for the rest of our stay. My partner and I enjoyed all the amenities especially since we had our baby with us. Besides the beautiful view and the thought out room design. It really made a difference with everything provided from the kitchen, parking, even the amenities for the beach. Jayden and his team were very responsive. We had kindly asked to check in early which I was hoping for and felt so grateful to have been accommodated because traveling with a baby is literally the Olympics. I truly appreciate him and his team!! I definitely would recommend this airbnb to my friends, family, and to the person who is reading this review!!

Brilliant location, home and host. Don't bother staying anywhere else as this experience was perfect.

We had a great stay. The place is cozy, has a great view and amenities and supplies. It is in great location, close enough to everything in waikiki but away enough to not deal with the busy and louder areas. Great host who was very informative, accomodating, detailed and gave alot of recommendations.

The best Airbnb stay we have had to date! Such a beautiful property right on the lake with water views. The property has access to the Queenstown trail that takes you directly to Queenstown and connects to many other beautiful trails that you can walk/bike. The property is exactly as described but the photos do not do it justice - we will definitely be back!

Feels like home type of place. Everything is provided. Clean and cozy with modern and welcoming decor. We chose this one because its near where we needed to go to visit people in the nearby suburb and the secure carpark.

Great house in a good location. Everything can be reached quickly and easily. Everything you need for your vacation is available in the house

Julie's place is a fantastic place to stay in Hobart. It was super convenient, cozy and peaceful, and we felt right at home. There was even a lovely little box of treats on the dining table waiting for us when we arrived! Would highly recommend this place.

Wonderful stay at the Kapalua Villas. Great pick for the price range. All was as described in listing. The location of this condo is spectacular! We LOVED our stay here. Impeccably clean inside, truly beautiful and relaxing garden and ocean views from the patio. Amazing coastal trails literally outside your door, which I recommend exploring all of (you can go 3 or 4 different directions from the trailhead!). Things you need do do while staying here: Snorkel Honolua Bay, go to Kahekili Beach park, hike down to the coastal cliffs from the access trail on site, and of course visit Kapalua Bay Beach (short walk from condo). Honolua Store down the road has affordable meals. Note that as this listing is very reasonably priced, you will need to pick up some of your own supplies like coffee, fruit, chocolate, anything in the fridge, potentially conditioner etc. depending on how much you use. A minor maintenance issue was made known to us before check in, and didn't effect our stay.

Jayden’s place was perfect for a return trip home for my husband and me! The space was incredibly clean and comfortable with an oversized bed and TV, amazing shower, and lanai that overlooks the Ala Wai. It’s always a downer to have to pay for parking but parking on Oahu is a struggle everywhere, so we were grateful that the building at least had paid parking with in/out privileges available, and that everything in Waikiki was walkable from Jayden’s spot. We would definitely book this exact Airbnb again!

This place was absolutely AMAZING! We came here for our honeymoon and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. It was clean, cozy, and chill. It’s a great location close to the beach and decently close to town provided you have means to transportation. Sharon communicated accurately, sent all of the info we needed ahead of time, and was quick to respond when we needed her. Couldn’t recommend this place more! We’d love to try to come back someday.

It was so so so beautiful!! Literally in the heart of Waikiki! The view from the room is INCREDIBLE!! Literally will be staying here whenever we’re back in oahu! Worth it guys!

we thought this place was great. was close to everything g and just a few blocks from the beach.

When searching for a nice place to stay sight unseen, especially after such a loss to the community, we were pleasantly surprised. We wanted something private yet still in the heart of the activity for our wedding and honeymoon. Maui is breathtaking, and the views from the balcony were incredible. Every day, we could see sea turtles in the water from our private beach, and we were even greeted by a few that spent the night on the beach during our stay. The space was fantastic, and the bed was really comfortable. It was also conveniently close to necessities like the ABC store and a few shopping centers. Heidi was very prompt when we reported a minor issue, and she resolved it quickly while keeping us updated throughout the process. Thank you for hosting us! We will definitely be recommending this spot to all our friends and family, and we hope to visit again sometime!

Great place to stay , apartment was clean and tidy and kitchen had all the utensils we needed. Close to all amenities and great views. Would definitely recommend this place . Thanks

Beautiful place and great location. My only concern was how hot the bedroom was. We ended up sleeping on the pull out couch in the living room.
