Cottage vacation 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!

We stayed for our One Year Wedding Anniversary and it was just what we needed. Peaceful, tranquil, romantic and secluded getaway with everything we needed and lots of little extras that were a thoughtful touch. We loved our weekend getaway and Marlena’s communication and efforts in making us as comfortable as possible were appreciated. The fresh baking and fruit along with complementary gift was amazing. Zoe was also a welcome guest she is such a sweet dog

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.

Really neat to stay on a working sheep farm. The e-bikes to the reservoir and back were such a neat amenity. The walk up to the picnic bench gives a great view. The outdoor bathtub is lovely.

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 had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage! It was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The space was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax. The hosts were friendly and attentive, ensuring a smooth experience. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!

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.

Loved this place! So cozy and cute, had everything we needed. Great location!

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 😊

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

I stayed in Kosbys Cottage for 2 weeks in the New Zealand summer to hike in Tongariro National Park. The cottage was a large space for a solo traveler but provided a nice kitchen with adequate pots, utensils, and so forth for meal preparation. It was a very pleasant space to relax in after a long day of hiking, and rest days were pleasant with a large sofa for lounging and large dining room table for working and eating. Notes for future guests: the New World grocery in Ohakune is large enough to shop when you arrive; the front door was locking automatically every time the door closed so I was very careful to keep the key with me at all times to prevent lockout; read the cottage information on the refrigerator for helpful tips. I used the woodstove early in my trip when the nights were cold and it kept the cottage warm and felt like part of the adventure. Sara was responsive to my questions. I would stay here again for a long time.

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!

Thanks again Sue for a lovely weekend at the Red Barn. As always, a fabulous stay. After a big day out, it was great to come back to such a relaxed and peaceful little haven, with everything we could need. We’ll see you next year.

We had such a cosy stay at this place. Loved the decor and we felt right at home. Very convenient location to amenity and the Crossing.

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.
