Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Whanganui River

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.

Beautiful home! Stayed for 3 nights for my daughter’s 5th birthday. The kids loved the outdoor space & treehouse. Lovely & responsive host. Thank you for sharing your home with me and my family.

This house was perfect for our family group of 9 adults. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking large meals, and it was great having two full bathrooms. The fire and some heaters kept us warm at night.

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!

Lovely large old villa. Well insulated with great heating and cooling ammenities. Large rooms with very comfortable beds, even the bunks have quality mattresses. Very clean throughout. We only stayed a short time but would love to come again and be able to enjoy the outdoor space and lounging, it’s very large, private with large gardens and trees.

My family and I LOVED staying at Johns property. it is absolutely stunning and so tranquil. It's super spacious and private, warm and really comfortable. We're already planning our next trip back! Highly recommend.

The home was clean, comfortable and perfect for our family of 3’s needs. We enjoyed our stay and definitely would reconsider if we were to visit again. Property managers were responsive, helpful and gracious. One minor issue - we felt that ‘there were too many rules’ - this didn’t take away from our overall strongly positive impression, however. Walkable distance to the town and good options for meals - The Cypress Tree and Osteria Ohakune were excellent.

We loved this place. Great living area for socialising, well equipped kitchen, showers had awesome water pressure, several lovely areas to sit outdoors. Perfect for our family get together with some of us staying onsite and others in the town centre. And later some items we'd left behind were returned to us which we were grateful for.

When you think Airbnb , this is the standard you expect . This cabin is in a beautiful quiet location right on a small stream, you can watch fish swimming up and down in the crystal clear water whilst you BBQ some food . Private entrance which makes the area secure and comfortable. Spotless interior and a comfortable bed with a smart TV. Only work ons I have is that the kitchen could have some more basics for cooking or a small coffee machine would be superb. Great stay and would recommend to anyone .

What a stunning little escape! Well worth the distance from town. Super comfy little cottage and hosts were so lovely. And Heathers Date scones were fantastic!! (I need that recipe!!) hosts were so responsive and accommodating with extra blankets etc. was such a lovely night away!

We had a wonderful stay at Serena's place. We spent a lot of time swimming at the lake, which was a short walk down the road. Would love to come back and stay again.

Setting is gorgeous, with the stream at the rear being a particularly nice touch. The interior gets quite hot but AC works well so this isn’t a big issue. There is a second identical unit next door which I thought gave a neighbourly feel, but wasn’t something we were aware of initially. I don’t think it would have changed our mind in any way, but just thought it worth raising. Lastly our check in was seamless, but I thought the comms from the host were a touch impersonal as all messages were automated. Also all messages stated the rules again and again, which made it feel a bit more like a school tour than an Airbnb lol

Very friendly, kind hosts. Thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor hot pool and peaceful surroundings. Enjoyed our stay immensely!
