House vacation rentals in Ōtaki

We had a lovely Easter weekend. Peaceful, loads of space inside and out and the pool was perfect on the hot days. Close to Greytown too for supermarket and local treats. Also Kate was great to communicate with. Friendly, prompt and helpful.

We went to Martinborough with 2 other couples. Carole place was just perfect! Quiet neighbourhood, great shared facilities (tennis and pool) and an easy walk to town!

We had an excellent stay at Sarah’s place. Spacious and comfortable with everything you need. Especially liked the information on local things to do in the area highlighting the Patuna Farm Chasm walk which we wouldn’t have known about if it wasn’t in the information book.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here

This place really felt like a home away from home. There was everything we needed. The hot tub and pool were much enjoyed. We were able to have a wonderful gathering with overseas family members and visits from our NZ children, plenty of space. We loved the beach. Simon was very friendly and helpful.

We loved our stay! A very quiet, peaceful spot and a modern home with all the necessary amenities. Jo was friendly, and communicative, and even left us a wee welcome gift!! Awesome to have a pool and tennis courts available, and it’s super close to the middle of town.

Great house for two families, we enjoyed the hot tub, children loved the communal pool, tennis court and trampoline! It was a great way to visit an area that didn’t seem to have a huge amount for children to do.

As a host, Sarah was super friendly and responsive. The house is stunning and super close to Martinborough square. Lots to do in the surroundings. The swimming pool a must. Highly recommended.

Our group of grandparents (visiting from Canada), parents and 2 children aged 6 and 2 enjoyed our Easter weekend stay. The kitchen was well equipped for all our food prep; bedrooms were comfortable, spacious and clean; there were DVDs of cartoons that the adults all remember, as well as some movies. The adults enjoyed playing table tennis, and the sleepout was a good place to store bicycles. Proximity to the excellent playground, the beach and the estuary were big pluses. The enclosed yard was also helpful for keeping the children safe. And wine and chocolates were a pleasant welcoming gift. Thanks so much for sharing your attractive and comfortable bach.

We had a great Stay at Waikawa, location and accommodation suited our family very well. The games provided in the garage got lots of use, pool table and table tennis. Dogs made the most of the large grounds and peaceful sorroundinds. . Very comfortable for all. Helped that we had perfect weather for a great family break away.

Blackbird is a thoroughly comfy cosy nest for settling in and making the most of what Martinborough has to offer. Just a block back from the central square, handy to everything yet quiet. Plenty of comfortable space to relax both inside and out in the lovely private garden with various seating options. As chefs we appreciated a sizeable, very well appointed and supplied kitchen and dining area. With the bedroom, bathroom and common area set up it creates a flexible set up for two couples travelling together, a group of singles or a family. Very much a comfy home away from home. Thank you Rebecca and Nigel.

We had a lovely stay at Anne's. The house was spotless and spacious, lots of places to sit and chat, both inside and outside. An easy walk into town for cafes. Great communication from Anne and easy check in. We would definitely stay again.

We would like to thank you host for all things that you well prepared in the house for us. Our family had a wonderful time to stay here. We can face a fantastic sun rise and had a delicious maxican food at the beach. And at here also had the small warmest restuarant just 1-2 mins walked near by the house. And the host here was very nice and good taking care of us. Thank you & Rdgs, PJ.

The accommodation has high quality utensils, very comfortable linens, and is really clean and very functional and well equipped home. It is a good stopover for my family, the centralised warming is great and host is responsive and helpful. In general, a good stay in a quiet neighbourhood 18 mins away from Wellington city.

Home away from home! Absolutely loved our stay at Graham and Laurel’s. Their space is set up really well, was very clean and tidy and the kids loved the toy box. Laurel is very responsive to any questions and made us feel very welcome. Thanks again!

This was the second time our family of 6 has stayed at Paul's place. We keep returning because we love it. It's spacious, has great views of the airport, and is close to Lyall Bay. Paul is a terrific host. Highly recommended.

Absolutely stunning house first time in Martinborough and we enjoyed every minute of it. It was picturesque and luxurious and worth the amount we paid for it. The hosts were amazing and made sure that our stay was very comfortable and that we had no issues. Would highly recommend this stay to anyone that is looking for a quiet weekend away. The location was amazing as well as it is very close to a lot of the wineries.

The Whitehouse is a lovely cosy & comfortable home with plenty of room for a family to relax in, with a lovely outdoor deck area to enjoy looking out from over the beautiful countryside after a day out exploring the Wairarapa

We had great stay, very friendly and helpful hosts. Quite location and close to the cycle ways for the kids to do a bike ride. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again if we are ever down the way again

I booked at the very last minute at 6:30pm on the night and the host responded so quickly. I am so grateful because this old house is very unique with plenty of history. Awesome views that you never get tired of. Walking distance to every where. Be aware there are a lot of stairs to get to the property and bedrooms rooms up on 2nd level so if you have old or bad legs this could be a problem. Not a problem for me at all though & I am nearly 60. Thanks for a great stay and sharing your family home with me.

What a beautiful house, definitely felt very Wellington! Love the area, loved the house, gave us a flavour of being a local. Kit was helpful and responsive. Thank you for having us!

Alice’s home is a truly peaceful sanctuary — a modern, elegant refuge where nature and design come together in perfect harmony. The clean architectural lines, serene colour palette, and beautifully curated interiors made the space feel both calming and luxurious. Every detail, from the layout to the lighting, felt deeply intentional and inviting. The three of us — close friends — had such a wonderful time here. Whether we were sharing meals, soaking in the spa under the stars, or simply unwinding in the serene indoor spaces, the home offered the perfect setting to reconnect, laugh, and rest. The surrounding trees, birdsong, and lush gardens made it feel like we were held by nature the entire time — utterly magical. Alice was a phenomenal host: warm, communicative, and thoughtful throughout. She’s created a space that’s more than just a place to stay — it’s a place to pause, exhale, and truly be. We left feeling restored and full of gratitude. Can't wait to return, thank you Alice.

Lovely place, really good location, perfect for our needs, really easy to correspond and very clean

Great accommodation and beautiful family home. Beds were super comfy and we could want for nothing. Samantha was very proactive checking in. Thanks we had a wonderful stay!
