Farmstay vacation rentals in Manawatū-Whanganui

We had a great stay. The remote location and wood burning stove plus wood burning hot tub made things feel very cozy and unique. We had a blast keeping the fires going and spending time in the tub on the deck and watching deer and birds go by. Highly recommend the experience!

The place is totally beautiful and suitable for a nice getaway from a busy city life. It’s peaceful and plenty of outdoor chilling area. The interior is tastefully decorated with personal touches. And Dale is so lovely to communicate throughout and understanding of our sudden change of situation. It’s hard to find such lovely hosts in Airbnb sometimes, so we are lucky to have met her!

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 booking was accurate and not fussy in that you felt at home. Sharon was very proactive as soon as i made the booking and accomodating when i needed extra request because i had an event on. Thanks ill definitely be back!

What a great stay for our family of 5 visiting Tongariro National Park. Convenient to food in National Park as well as all the hiing trails in the area. The Barn was very spacious and had eveything we needed in addition to being located on a lovely, peaceful property. We highly recommend choosing Tim's barn if you're in need of accomodation in the area and want something unique and cozy. Tim is a great host and goes out of his way to make sure you are comfortable in your stay.

The Tiny Colonial House is cozy and quaint. It has everything you need. It feels like a real escape. We loved it!

We always love staying here. The communication is amazing and the location is beautiful and private.

The Cottage was perfect after a tramping weekend. My friends and I were able to wash our damp clothes, hang them up to dry, have a fresh shower and feel right home quickly. We went to one of the lovely local wineries and back with indian take away, before a game of battle sticks in the garden and then a comfys nights sleep! it was great, thanks Duncan.

Absolutely beautiful location, and beautiful people. Debbie's clocks are gorgeous and definitely a must-have as a reminder of such a lovely experience. We highly look forward to coming again soon. 10/10. Thank you Debbie and Ian!

A supremely beautiful location. Our young boys loved the cows, sheep and deers. The house is incredibly clean and the beds were very comfortable. Hannah was also very accommodating and responsive. Thanks Hannah!

“A Perfect Stay with Stunning Views!” I had an amazing stay at this AirBnB! The location was perfect—peaceful, yet close to everything I needed. One of the highlights was the beautiful walk nearby, which offered breathtaking views that made every morning feel magical. Whether enjoying a cup of coffee outside or taking in the scenery during a stroll, the surroundings were absolutely stunning. The home itself was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped, making my stay truly enjoyable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic getaway!

Charlotte's place was a stargazer's paradise at the front yard! Charlotte's communication was lightning-fast – we appreciated the prompt responses. A bittersweet one-night stay, hope we'll be back one day again!

It was a delight to stay here, from the orchards, to the goats, to the home baking and the lovely tiny home itself. It has everything you need, is comfortable and homely. We would love to stay again!

Fabulous stay. We chose Rural retreat as we were going to a wedding near by and it was Easter. Very well appointed and very comfortable. Thanks Claire for making our time there so relaxing and easy.

A very nice and quiet accommodation. We liked it very much and we can definitely recommend it.

We were looking for a getaway from Auckland and decided on Taupo. Though Taupo itself can be very busy with tourism, staying at the Cottage was the perfect solution. Private, quiet, peaceful but only 10-15 min drive from all the attractions in Taupo. The Cottage is very well equipped and was in outstanding condition. Maura is a fantastic host; friendly, responsive and very helpful. We even enjoyed the animals at the farm, with Moose the Cat visiting us on a daily basis. A great AirBnb experience, would definitely book again.

There aren’t words to describe this jaw-dropping property. May be my all-time favorite AirBnb experience! It’s breathtaking in its privacy, scenery and layout and has all the amenities one would need to feel right at home! It accommodated our 8-person property easily. We will absolutely come back for another stay!

Our stay at Endsleigh Cottage was wonderful; it had everything we needed and was situated on gorgeous grounds with a genuine old world charm.

Thank you for hosting us, Jo, and for sharing your beautiful place. It was easy to find, and the views were absolutely stunning. The location is great—just a short 15-minute drive from the city centre. Jo’s place has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a well-equipped kitchen if you feel like cooking. All the rooms were clean and tidy, and the bath was the perfect spot to unwind with a glass of bubbles. The bathroom had all the essentials, including a washing machine, which was a nice bonus. Waking up to such a breathtaking view right outside the window was a real treat. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll definitely be staying again!

We had another fantastic stay at this accommodation and we look forward to our next stay in the near future.

Andy was a very responsive and proactive host which made us feel relaxed and reassured to reach out if needed. The home was as described and suited our needs perfectly. The view was just glorious and the location fantastic!

Amazing location and a great property. Definitely worth a visit - we had a great time

Everything was as described. Rural location but only 5 minutes to Otaki. Peaceful location. Good parking etc and host was excellent.

Amazing location and area. Great facilities. The accommodations were great for 2 couples.
