House vacation rentals in Manawatū-Whanganui

Our stay was absolutely fabulous! We loved every minute in this beautiful home. It’s spacious, comfortable, and the view is simply breathtaking. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming. If you’re lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of a herd of deer wandering by — such a magical touch!

Great family week in Whanganui. Our place was amazing, comfortable, great vibe, relaxing, loved the pool and deck with outdoor bath. Wished we could stay longer. Ken and Jess so helpful and responsive, very friendly. Would love to stay there again.

We loved staying here - the house is in a quiet street and was perfect for our family group of eight. It is light and airy, clean and tidy, has plenty of space, comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen - everything we needed. It was wonderful having the pool and garden space for the grandchildren, and lovely deck area to enjoy a BBQ. It is an easy walk to the supermarket, shops and restaurants, and a short drive to Splash Planet, the fabulous Farmers Market and orchards. The location is ideal for exploring the fabulous Hawkes Bay. Thank you Michelle!

Lovely place to stay in Taupo, with beautiful views and easy access to town

Thanks to Melanie - was a great place for an extended family - lots of room and things to do. Was pleased with the location and space. - kids loved the air hocky and parents liked the ability to have separate bedrooms :) Would recommend :)

Host was friendly and proactive. Great property with a nice view and complete amenities. We highly recommend the place and will definitely book again.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay in a great location. House was private and had everything we needed. Also amazing mini golf & restaurant walking distance! Great walks to the lake also!

Wonderful place, the boys from Entec Services have stayed a few times and will be back.

Great place to stay especially for a family getaway or catch up with friends. The peaceful atmosphere and well thought out ammenities really made it. Great to have the garage space for activities and the kids toys really helped entertain the kiddos. Will definitely be back!

Just fabulous. Modern, open floor plan. Lots of windows and light. Awesome upstairs kitchen, w adjoining dining sitting area and high ceilings. Hot tub. Modern washer and dryer.

We just love the house..its easy to check in, warm with fireplace and complete with kitchen utensils for us to prepare food. We just love the house.

Great place right near the beach and cute restaurant! Got some surf in and enjoyed the spa. Would recommended

Many thanks to Nate and Rachel for a wonderful few days getaway. It was a serene and tranquil spot with incredible ambience and views. Will be back again for sure!

Lynne's place is absolutely beautiful and was even more amazing in person. All the rooms were really comfortable and had AC/heatpumps. The kitchen was well equipped and had cooking basics. The place was really clean when we arrived and check in was easy. It is a lovely peaceful area but still close and walkable to central Havelock. Highly recommend!

House was well equipped and very spacious.Lovely large back and front gardens.Bus stop nearby but not many buses so we used taxis into town and back. Host was very helpful on the two occasions I called her. There were only 2 of us but would be great for a family. We enjoyed our stay.

Alice’s home is a truly peaceful sanctuary — a modern, elegant refuge where nature and design come together in perfect harmony. The clean architectural lines, serene colour palette, and beautifully curated interiors made the space feel both calming and luxurious. Every detail, from the layout to the lighting, felt deeply intentional and inviting. The three of us — close friends — had such a wonderful time here. Whether we were sharing meals, soaking in the spa under the stars, or simply unwinding in the serene indoor spaces, the home offered the perfect setting to reconnect, laugh, and rest. The surrounding trees, birdsong, and lush gardens made it feel like we were held by nature the entire time — utterly magical. Alice was a phenomenal host: warm, communicative, and thoughtful throughout. She’s created a space that’s more than just a place to stay — it’s a place to pause, exhale, and truly be. We left feeling restored and full of gratitude. Can't wait to return, thank you Alice.

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!

Beautiful spot and suited us perfectly. Great outdoor space and lovely layout inside. Had everything we needed. Would love to have had the chance to stay longer.

The home was beautifully presented, immaculate and so clean! The house had such a cosy feel. We have a great weekend. Thanks!

Great accommodation and beautiful family home. Beds were super comfy and we could want for nothing. Samantha was very proactive checking in. Thanks we had a wonderful stay!

Great place for families to go too. Beautiful home & lovely surroundings. Would recommend for everyone.
