Cottage holiday rentals in Manawatū-Whanganui

A lovely house with everything you need for a cosy stay. Our two young daughters loved the outdoor baths and making friends with the cows. I’d recommend Delwyn’s house to anyone looking for an escape!

Absolutely amazing!! Me and my children had such a great time 🥰 thank you!

Came for our honeymoon for a simple getaway and this was perfect! Amazing views, not far from pubs/towns and was overall just peacefully perfect. Would definitely book to stay again!!

It was our second stay at the cottage and we will be back again. Wonderful, quiet spot surrounded by beautiful gardens and views of the hills around Waipawa. Johanna and Andrew are the perfect hosts. It was a great stay.

One of the best provisioned places we have stayed in. Second living area allowed for some separation . Great selection of entertainment.

Beautiful place, this is a perfect getaway. Johnny’s place is beautiful, peaceful and very well kept. Kids enjoyed the horses around and enjoyed the greenery and free area to run around. We brought their little bikes with us and they loved biking on the grass. Johnny was super responsive and helpful.

We needed a break from Wellington and booked this place for a couple of nights. Had an amazing stay - the place was perfect for our family and it even had a gym so I could workout. Nicky was a wonderful host - warm, inviting and incredibly easy to communicate with. Highly recommend and I hope we can come back

We wanted a relaxing break and that’s exactly what we got at Sarah‘s quirky cottage. Loved the decor and all the games and CDs, spa pool, closeness to the beach. It was great to be able to bring our dog as well. Thank you very much, we will be back!

Exactly what you expect and want from a classic Kiwi beach bach! Communication was great and the place was clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again 😊

Very tranquil and private place to stay. Thanks heaps Paul for the homemade toast (my wee one enjoyed it so much). Close to Napier city (10mins drive) and lots of good restaurants within short drive distance. We walked our dog to the beach in the morning and everything was beautiful and peaceful. Would definitely recommend to anyone who’s looking for a place to stay around Napier.

Me and my friends spent a wonderful weekend in Taupo at Sally-Ann's place cooking, drinking tea, and listening to music (thanks for very clear instructions on the Chromecast!). We will carry great memories from the lake and nearby carvings we saw there. Despite the rainy weather, our stay was cozy - thank you for having us!

We had a lovely stay at Danni and Rod's place. The cottage is super cute and is in a great location, near the old town and in walking distance to some beautiful trails. Kids loved having the big backyard to explore! Thanks for a great stay 😊

The Drive from Taumaruni to Whangamomona is a nice drive. We loved the small town and how friendly everyone was in the pub that night. Ceri's place is well worth a stay. The old Butchers shop from a time long gone. Amazing History there. Thanks Ceri.

Lovely family, Gina and Scott are great hosts. The place was very homely and relaxing. Perfect place to stop overnight and recharge.

Our second time staying here. Fantastic location, private, quiet and beautiful scenery. Very comfortable stay. Will definitely be booking in again! Thanks heaps Jane

Sara’s place is even better than described. It was so quiet and peaceful. It was chilly outside, but we walked into a warm, inviting place that felt like home. The decor matched the character of this historic home, but it still had all the modern amenities you would expect of a BNB. The linens were crisp, white and clean. The kitchen was better equipped than mine! It even had a barista coffee machine! Sara is quick with communication. Outstanding!

Amber and Rod are fantastic hosts. Their place is conveniently located and pristine. Highly recommended. We will definitely stay again.

If you want to get away from it all but still enjoy being indulged this is definetly the place. You won't get better hosts than Sheryl and Warren.

We adored our stay! The cottage was pristine. The location is great. It is right across a quiet stretch of beach and walking distance from a great playground. It is very close to the airport but recent upgrades meant we couldn't hear the planes from inside the house. Our little one was obsessed with watching the planes take off. What really set this place apart was how thoughtful and kind the hosts were. We have a baby and toddler and the hosts brought toys for the kids to play with. The kids had the best time!

The most amazing stay we've ever had! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. We walked into a cozy house beautifully lit by a fire place. Fresh milk and eggs were waiting for us, and they were absolutely delicious. Janeen was incredibly helpful. Our little one was kept entertained with plenty of puzzles, Legos, and toys. One of the highlights was the tour of the farm. Janeen and Adrian showed us the cows, the cow shed, explained how the milking is done, and even let our little one collect fresh eggs from the chickens. The view over the mountains was breathtaking, and the river nearby made the whole place feel like a peaceful retreat. The sunrise in the morning was absolutely stunning. The hospitality we received was beyond amazing. This was truly the best stay we've ever experienced, and we can't wait to come back!

The Red Barn was an absolute gem! Sue was a wonderful host - responsive, thoughtful, and went above and beyond to make our stay special. The barn itself is beautifully renovated with all the comforts you could need, while still maintaining its rustic charm. The property is peaceful and well-maintained. Sue provided excellent directions and check-in instructions, and was always quick to respond to any questions. The beds comfortable, and the entire place was spotlessly clean. The rural setting offers a tranquil escape but is still conveniently located for exploring the region. Highly recommend the Red Barn for anyone looking for a relaxing countryside retreat.​​​​​​​

Very cosy cottage with lovely views to the mountains of the national park. We enjoyed the morning sun on the terrace. Only a short drive to beautiful trekking.

Lovely little place to stay with beautiful views. Sven was a fantastic host

Stayed here for a friends wedding at St George’s restaurant and it was the perfect location 😊 beautiful surroundings and super clean and well set up inside.
