Holiday rentals in Tararua District

a rustic kiwi farm adventure was just what my central London based nieces needed. The carpet might be a bit old but it made up for it with bunk beds, a trampoline, a flying fox, a freindly farm cat, 3 dogs, horses, sheep, cows and a pink bathtub. We loved the fireplace, the view is stunning and our hosts were friendly as. Don't be fooled by its rough edges, this is kiwi farm at its best.

We loved this airbnb. The view was breathtaking. Kitchen was well set up and enjoyed the fireplace at night.

We loved the vibe of this place, soulful and colourful. It was perfect for our family gathering with adult children and partners. We absolutely loved the music installation and music choice. And fresh eggs for breakfast. We would love to come again.

one of my all time favourite holiday stays in the north island, loved sharing it with friends this time. Simple in the best possible old school kiwi bach sense, but with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Wonderfully remote to get away from it all, beautiful scenery and fantastic outdoor space to relax in any weather.

We had such a wonderful stay at this charming tiny home! It was spotless, beautifully designed, and so peaceful — the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. The farm-style touches gave it a cozy, rustic feel, and the surroundings were just lovely. Everything was thoughtfully provided, and the space was both functional and incredibly inviting. I’d absolutely love to come back — highly recommended for anyone looking for a serene, countryside getaway!

We absolutely loved the location, farm setting and peaceful and quiet relaxing atmosphere. The area has great little day excursions, an added Anzac Day bonus for us in Pongaroa. Perfect couple of days.

We stayed here with 12 friends for my husband’s 30th, and it was absolutely perfect. He loves native bush and birds, so this place was a dream. The house feels like a fairytale—spacious, warm, and beautifully designed. The kitchen is well-equipped and flows easily to the patio, where we barbecued and dined outdoors. There’s a handy kitchen window for passing food outside, and both indoor and outdoor tables made it easy to adapt to the weather. The property sits on 7 acres of native bush with walking tracks, birds like piwakawakas following us, and a magical glow worm walk at night. There's an outdoor fire area with couches, ambient lighting, and a speaker system that connects throughout the house and outside. It’s perfect for reconnecting with friends and nature. We left feeling relaxed, happy, and so grateful. Huge thanks to the hosts for the clear communication and thoughtful touches. If you're thinking of booking—do it. You won’t regret it.

We had an amazing stay with breathtaking panoramic views and a fantastic host! The property met our expectations, but the view was even more stunning than described. Our host was incredibly helpful. If you're traveling with kids, I highly recommend booking a ride to the property with Holly.
