Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Manawatū-Whanganui

Wish there were more places like this on AirBnB! Thanks to Werner for a super, sunny, comfortable, cosy stay. Conveniently situated to town, the river, forest & bike trails. The house is more like a home, with everything you would possibly need. Definitely 5 stars all the way. We will most certainly be returning. Thanks again.

Fantastic find in a beautiful area with everything you could need - shop down the road, pub with good food few minute walk, shuttle to the tongariro crossing basically on your doorstep! Perfect for the crossing - soak your muscles in the hot tub after. Brilliant, will definitely come back!

Absolutely beautiful place with a gorgeous view of the river. The house is one of those places that makes you feel instantly at home. Sally is an epic host, super responsive and kind.

Such a beautiful place! It was so special to be right beside the beach. The place was even better in person, lots of space and great facilities. Thank you so much, we hope to return soon.

Perfect homely feel, and everything available for a comfortable stay.

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!

My fiancé and I LOVED staying here!!! It was the most relaxing and gorgeous place. The views alone were stunning, and being able to use the sauna, walk through the abundant plants, and enjoy the river was so nice. George and Scott were incredibly responsive and helpful, and the house already has truly everything you could need. We will definitely be staying here again if we come back to New Zealand!

Great home for families with good sized bedrooms and bathrooms. The living space was very comfortable, and the addition of a range of family boardgames was great. The home is set in a quiet tranquil area overlooking forest/bush which provided lovely walks. Easy 10mins walk to Carrotland which is an an awesome adventure playground and activity area with pump track, bike tracks, playground etc. Our 7yr old loved it. We had some issues with running water when we arrived but Charlotte was super responsive and helpful and it was all resolved within an hour...and Charlotte provided a wee gift basket (nibbles and wine) in acknowledgement of our being slightly put out. Charlotte was very thoughtful and responsive in managing the whole issue. We will absolutely stay again. It was a lovely comfortable home.

Have stayed here before when attended a local local yachting regatta and found the location convenient. The property is close to the western ramps for launching support boats. Will rent again if the property is available

Alison and Ron were so kind and friendly. The space was very comfortable, especially the beds. Nice little bathrooms attached to each room as well!

Private, warm apartment at the Powderhorn end of town. We were inside for the majority of our two nights in Ohakune due to the weather but we were so comfortable and made use of the fully equipped kitchen. Thanks Dion for your great communication. We would stay again.

Lovely location overlooking Lake Taupo and into the sunset. Spacious deck to relax, eat and enjoy the view. Helpful responsive host. Very clean and well equipped living areas. Lovely Millennium Hotel restaurant right across the street. Great location for a relaxing break.

We enjoyed our two night stay in this comfortable apartment, and the hosts were very welcoming! We enjoyed the homemade bread and thoughtful touches as well!

What a fantastic place! Very well set up with everything you need for a short or long stay. So comfortable and homey. We were just one couple but it also would be super for a large family group. It can sleep a lot of people comfortably and the communal space is large, like what you would find in a lodge. Great location. We walked up from the train and were able to walk to dinner and to some nice trails.

We loved our 12 day stay and didn't want to leave. Spacious rooms, high ceilings, heated bathroom floors, adequate kitchen, bifold doors opening into lovely private courtyard gardens and then there is the panoramic view of the lake. Oh and the delux spa!! What a treat. Luxurious accomodation. Value plus! We will be back.

The place is great, its really cozy and all of the items listed are brand new. The owner is really helpful and responsive

This place was fantastic – clean, well presented, and fully equipped with everything you need for a great social gathering. It had a welcoming vibe and made our stay super easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

The Mill House is our favorite spot to escape to. We love the thoughtful touches, peaceful surroundings and warm welcome we receive every time we stay. Many thanks. We'll be back.

Absolutely wonderful accommodation, just a short walk to the lake! The house was perfect for us, it was beautifully clean and well appointed. We would love to stay again!

Amazing house and location Nothing like hot tubs and open fires at night! Very good communication from hosts Thank you for having us!

We did not meet the hosts who were unexpectedly away and were redirected to Bird Cottage at no extra cost. Communication was great, the cottage ( a renovated old schoolhouse) was spacious,very peaceful, and had all the amenities we needed. Clean and comfortable and light breakfast provided. Beautiful outlook and a great spot to break a long journey

Like Philippa stated when villa finishes renovation it definitely looks grand and posh. But still loved interiors tastefully decorated furniture and personal touches. All of us enjoyed something different than normal air b&b experience. Thanks

The most beautiful home. Space, style fully and equipped beyond many places I’ve stayed. Stunning, absolutely stunning location, you would never tire of the view. Hope to come again.
