Waikato District family rentals

The moment we stepped in the door, we were blown away by the cleanliness, the use of space, and the incredible shower (with the shower head being nick-named Godzilla by us). The view was the most amazing welcome, closely followed by discovering the local treats in the fridge. Far enough, yet not too far from Raglan, meant that we could enjoy the great local coffee and then escape the crowds by driving back along gravel roads (along the coast and around Mt Karioi).It was the perfect location for a quiet weekend for us (after dropping the teenagers to Sound Splash)- from reading on the couch, in between wee jaunts out, through to hot chocolates (with the local milk) under the stars on the deck. Whether you are wanting to hide away from the crowds (yet go and grab a coffee) for a couple of days, or somewhere relaxing to head back to after a day of swimming, surfing, or meandering around the coast, we cannot recommend Sue and John’s place enough.

We were two friends staying at this lovely place up the hill in Raglan in the groundlevel appartment. It's suited for people who don't mind sharing a space, as there is no door between the two beds and hence no real privacy. Generally well equipped and even with a dishwasher now, the place is pretty much only lacking a colander and a teapot. :(

We enjoyed our stay at this quiet contemporary location. Close driving proximity to township and beach. We enjoyed the walks and the wood burner kept the whole place warm and cosy in the evening. We enjoyed the board games and the ability for outdoor fresco meals.

Enjoyed relaxing at the house when we weren’t out and about- nice private garden to look out on.

We had a comfy stay! The house and outdoor area are nice to enjoy! Great views as well! Shower and beds are great! Kitchen is well equipped.

Such a great place to stay. The house is perfect for larger families and the property has lots to do as well as being situated in a prime location for trips out to Raglan (15mins), Hamilton (30mins) and Waitomo (1 hour ish). A great place to relax and enjoy nature as well. Best of everything. Thank you!

Dee was super helpful and easy to deal with ☺️.

Had a fantastic time. A really lovely place to stay, with a spectacular view. Can't fault it. And we were super well looked after by our hosts!
