Family-friendly vacation rentals in Wainui

Sue’s place is exactly as described on the listing. Bedrooms are all generous in size and beds are very comfortable. Essentials such as salt / pepper were all supplied and we took the option to pay extra to have the linen included which was super convenient. Woolies is a 5 min walk away and also the Ostend Markets (Saturday mornings). Sue is super helpful and very responsive - I would definitely stay there again.

Great location, private walkway to the beach! Couldn get any better. Such an awesome cosy Bach. Easy check in and great communication! Thank you so much!! Would definitely stay here again!

Our 2 days spent at the chalet was a memorable and amazing stay. We felt close to nature and coming from the islands, we felt right at home. So peaceful, quiet with bird chirps everytime we step out. Love everything about the Chalet. Thank you Charles. Highly recommended to everyone.

This place is absolutely astonishing! I came here with my family for a few days and am so glad that we did. This place has one of the best views I have ever seen, you can see both sunset and sunrise from the same deck! Anyways, absolutely a highlight of the trip so far and can’t wait to come back!

Completely met our needs, great spot. Comms excellent. Pool, spa and sauna a bonus. Would stay again

What an exquisite and inspiring view of Bethells Beach! The view from the deck was amazing. The cottage was very quiet and peaceful. John was an excellent host. We enjoyed walking the beach and hiking to Lake Waimanu past the huge dunes.

How an airbnb should be. Anna & Brian have created such a welcoming, peaceful oasis with all of the personal touches that make staying here so wonderful. A short drive from Auckland and you feel you're in the middle of nowhere (in the best way). A bottle of wine, homemade cake & bread, breakfast provisions (so many eggs we couldn't finish them all) topped off with a well kept tennis court, pool & spa - in a gorgeous apartment-like setting, we couldn't have asked for more. A great place to stay.

Understated elegance, luxury all wrapped together with threads of home, like your own home. We all love it, especially the kids. The view at night looking over the bay from the hot tub above the third level, you enjoy a view of lights glistening from the city beyond the waters of the bay below. We loved morning and evening walks to beach nearby, we loved it all. If you are anywhere in the area, stay here. You won’t regret it! Hosting was perfect; responsive when needed and invisible when not needed. “How accurately did Grace describe their place?” The picture on the website does not show the true beauty and setting of this home. The best view we found all the time we spent in North Island was from the living room here…or the bedroom here…or the hot tub here! Grace, show more pics!

Wow, absolutely stunning views! Mark’s place was very spacious and lots of natural light. We only stayed a night, but wished we could have stayed for the whole weekend! It’s a small stroll to the sea and a little shop that sells some delicious toasties.

This was the perfect place to stay for a beautiful and relaxing long weekend. We could not have asked for anything more. Highly recommend

Ian and Ailsa were fabulous hosts and their place was good for a couple nights in Titirangi. Beautiful area and close to good restaurants and walks.

This place was so cozy and loved the entire vibe. Highly recommend, great place to stay :)

We stayed for a few days during the off season. Wonderful location and a very comfortable place for a couple with a young one.

i've stayed at Brendon and Sali's places a few times now and we've become good friends. They will always be my first choice for accomodation when I come back to Auckland. The Cottage is well-located to take advantage of everything The Bays have to offer.

Spent our last 3 nights in Auckland at Grants place and it was the cherry on top! Beautiful place with everything you'd want to relax, no need to go out at all once you're here. Spa and Pool were exactly what we needed to help unwind on our last few nights before our flight back home. The home itself is beautiful with all amenities you could think of, air fryer, bbq, dish washers etc.. had everything we needed and more. cooked up a storm on the bbq and even did some baking! Plenty of space for a large group with the option of an additional apartment (which we didn't need) , the beds were super comfortable with all the pillows you could ask for and then some lol. Grant was super helpful and friendly, from the time we booked, checked in and checked out he was always quick to respond and checked in regularly to see how things were and if we needed anything. 10/10 will definitely be back next time we're in Auckland!

This is what Airbnb used to be—and should still be. A true hidden gem. With its own private entrance, this tranquil space feels like a rainforest retreat crossed with a Japanese zen garden, tucked away on a peaceful, tree-lined street in beautiful Grey Lynn. The home is fully equipped, thoughtfully designed, and absolutely perfect whether you need a place to work, rest, or recharge. You're a short walk from amazing cafes, dining spots, and everything central—but the moment you step inside, it feels like a sanctuary. The hosts were kind, responsive, and genuinely lovely. I’ve stayed in Airbnbs all over the world, and this one stands out. I’ll definitely be back next time I need a base in Auckland. Highly, highly recommend. Thank you, Justine.

What a great place perfect for us and even room for the next time when our 3rd daughter can stay too- beautiful waterfront excellent location with a Woolworths metro literally across the road and walking distance to viaduct restaurants- in fact we walked into town it was lovely . The carpark(s) was very handy and Kim messaged us with clear instructions and her communication was exceptional. She kindly allowed us early check in and late check out which is invaluable when you have a short stay like a long weekend. Would definitely consider coming back the next time we stay in Auckland.

Sarah's place was a peaceful retreat in a beautiful neighborhood setting. It featured a spacious loft with everything I needed including a comfortable bed, cozy sitting area, large desk, and a terrific shower. Very walkable to Mount Eden and the village nearby with a variety of restaurants and shops. Sarah was easy to contact and always responsive to questions. I highly recommend Sarah's place as an excellent choice in lodging if you are visiting Auckland.

My partner and I had a wonderful weekend stay. The place was incredibly quiet and private, perfect for a relaxing getaway. We really appreciated the lovely personal touches that made our holiday feel extra special. Everything was clearly prepared with care. Check-in and check-out were seamless, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’d absolutely stay here again.

We had an awesome time at the Beachside Bliss. Everything was just WOW. Ian made us feel right at home. The layout of the place is so kids friendly and safe. Loved the peace and quiet and a very clean beach. We are sure to come back soon. 101% recommended! Thank you Ian for sharing your lovely home and space with us🙏

Best location for Auckland CBD ! We really appreciated the convenience of the location of this spacious and airy flat. It is walkable to many places in Auckland’s CBD ! Beds are very comfy and great shower too ! We also want to thank our hosts for the quick responses and flexible check in ! Many, many thanks !

This was our third stay. Very comfortable and a great location.

Really nice place in a great location. Very nice quiet little courtyard the place is in, and we walked almost everywhere in Auckland we wanted to go. It was great to have laundry and a kitchen at the end of a long road trip, and there was lots of space both indoor and outdoor to relax.

I have no hesitations recommending this place. You won’t be disappointed. We had an incredible stay. The location and facilities are second to none. Parking to apartment in just 1 minute and it is all covered and easily accessed by lift. The apartment is spacious and well stocked with everything you’ll need. Two bathrooms was a massive bonus as was the washer/dryer to keep on top of washing. The pool, spa, and sauna were the highlight for our kids and we spent a lot of time there. The city and viaduct areas are walkable or grab a scooter and save your legs. The supermarket just across the road was so handy. Although it was raining for a lot of our stay the view from the apartment is amazing. In the summer having dinner and drinks on the balcony would be incredible. Comfortably slept four of us and we never felt crowded in the living room. This place is a credit to Linley and we’ll be looking this place up when we come for another break, concerts, or sports events.
