Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Country Cottage -Hot Tub Pizza Oven Rural Setting
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!

Retreat to Kokako Cottage
A wonderfully authentic kiwi farm stay.. the cottage is well stocked and maintained. A perfect weekend away for our city living but farm-girl at heart 3 year old.

The Fantail Cottage’s
My 2nd stay here so felt right at home. Comfortable and warm. Excellent water pressure in the shower is always appreciated. Fencing secure for the dog and lovely outdoor area. Will stay again.

Ruapehu Chalet Rentals TA5
20Bee has everything we needed for a long weekend stay and then some. We didn't get a chance to use the fire pit or the fire but hopefully we will next time. Spa pool was well used after all the activities we did in the area. House was warm and dry. DVD's galore. Games. Jig saws. If you're ever stuck inside, you'll not be bored. And if you can get out, town centre is only a couple of blocks away. There's plenty of parking in a very quiet neighbourhood. This is one unit that we will return to now that we've fallen madly in love with everything there is to do in Ohakune.

Snowdrop Cottage, Spa & Drying Room.
Snowdrop Cottage was perfect for our Easter holiday. Fab location, walkable to village and railway junction, private and had everything you could possibly need. Felt like a lot of thought had gone into making sure guests needs were met. Homely, cosy feel too. Definitely keen to stay again during our next Ohakune visit. Five stars all round ….and an extra star because it is dog friendly too. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Your home away from home
Mark and Shelley were excellent hosts! They always responded incredibly quickly to messages, and created a welcoming environment for my holiday. The house was extremely comfortable, and is conveniently located close to both the gorgeous tongariro river and the local shops. I'd highly recommend them!

Genuine Kiwi Bach on the Eastern side Lake Taupo
We had a nice stay at Paul's Aribnb. Instructions were very thorough which made checking in and out very easy. Property is exactly as described.

The Railway Sleeper - your home away from home
Our group of 6 + 1 furry friend loved our stay here! Great location for walking / running local trails and cruising to the pub or out for coffee. A 3 min drive to the supermarket. Felt like a safe area to be in and was super quiet and peaceful! We’d definitely stay again - thank you!!

Ruapehu Railway Cottage
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 😊

Whanga Butcher Shop on the Forgotten World Highway
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.

Idyllic Relaxing 3-bedroom Farmhouse Retreat
My husband and I and our visitors from Japan loved the beautiful, peaceful setting with the animals grazing around, as well as the character of the period Cottage, very comfortable, well furnished and stocked. Andrew could not have been a more responsive, helpful host! We walked to and from town in the evening, and on the River Trail in the morning - beautiful old, tall trees, a well-formed track, all quite flat. Altogether very highly recommended!

Kosbys Cottage, Tongariro
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!

Moore St Cottage Ohakune
We loved our stay at Moore Street Cottage! It was perfect for our family snow trip. The place is beautifully decorated and has everything you need. Would absolutely stay again!

Rawhiti Farm Cottage
We had such a great stay at Rawhiti Cottage! The place is super cosy and full of character. The setup was perfect for our group of 4. The surroundings were stunning, especially with the deer right outside. Farm walks and river access made it feel extra special. Highly recommend if you’re after a peaceful, unique spot to relax. Would definitely come back!

Otapouri Farm Cottage
Trudie and Stephen were extremely accommodating of our last minute booking and the place was just what we needed for a weekend fishing. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Delightful 2 -bedroom Railway Cottage "Kune Bach"
Absolutely love this location, close to the forest, mountain, town and trains - the whole family enjoyed it. The house is lovely and had everything we needed with the exception of a washing machine but there is laundromat in town. The kitchen works well and the kids loved the raised bath - they've never been able able to watch trains from the tub before!

Echolands Valley Lodge
Spacious, tidy, and warm home on a beautiful section. Everything we needed after a few days on the Whanganui river. Great garden for bird watching as well.

Cosy Rural Chalet
We had an amazing stay at this cozy cabin. The location is perfect – right next to a beautiful stream that made the whole place feel so peaceful. Waking up to the sound of the water was just incredible. The cabin had everything we needed and was super comfortable. It was the perfect spot to unwind and relax. The host was great and made sure everything was sorted. I’d definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway. Can’t wait to come back!

Caddis Lodge
Beyond 5 stars in my opinion - even though that’s not an option. Cozy and comfortable cottage that was just right for our family of 3. The attention to detail was most impressive - with a feel of living in luxury in a older (1920s ?) restored cottage. “Better than home” was a comment from one of our family members. Louise is warm, friendly and hospitable - making you feel quite welcomed. Louise is also a guide - we learned - we might try fly fishing on a future visit with a longer stay. Turns out that Turangi is one of the top spots on the planet. Definitely on our list if we visit again and a strong recommendation to our friends.

'Monday' Historic Seaside Cottage
cute old lil Bach with some interesting history & photos on the wall. we enjoyed the location, close to.the Beach & the Citadel cafe. being pet friendly was extremely important to us too. this was my 2nd stay at Monday cottage & would stay again. recommend to others looking for a lil escape at the beach

The Cottage at The Gullies Sheep and Beef Farm
A gorgeous place of so much character! Beautiful mornings and well-stocked extras there for us to help ourselves with. Great accommodation!
