Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Manawatū-Whanganui

What a great base to explore National Park. This is not a “professional” Airbnb but their vocational home and it feels Ike one. This is a very nice surprise vs 100s of faceless Airbnb locations which. Everything was clean, kitchen was stacked. We can confirm that outdoor hot tub is there and operational. We did not use it but the water was hot and views were nice. The only small issue: no shampoo, only body soap ( or we did not find it). Not a big deal as we had some but was surprising given how stocked the house is. Thank you Debbie for letting us stay.

Stayed for 2 nights and it was amazing, great location and neighborhood. Extremely well furnished, comfy towels and bed. I will definitely consider staying here again. Check-in was a breeze.

This property was very nice. It was secluded from the other houses and has a beautiful yard. I have no complaints and will definitely plan to stay again!

Second visit to this little cabin. It’s perfect for a couple of days away with our elderly German Shepherds. Fully fenced year and enough room for them to lay out on the grass or deck.

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.

Beautiful home very near Ohakune town center (with easy beautiful outdoor walks to and from the property). Views and space itself exceeded already high expectations set by the photos. Well equipped kitchen and thoughtful touches from the spa, kitchen and bathroom supplies, to the fireplace and TV streaming options.

The house was absolutely spotless. Kitchen flowed through to dining area and lounge and outdoors. Cute house wth lovely outdoor area. Two bathrooms a bonus. Katharine provided quick response to our query. Nice quiet spot.

Carolynn was friendly and quick with communication. The place was perfect for what we wanted. There were 5 of us, exhausted after a sports tournament and the place felt like we were home. We were so comfortable, and having all the amenities to cook dinner, wash clothes, relax in the living room, and sleep soundly in comfy beds was just perfect.

Great place to stay close enough to the town centre to walk!

We had a fantastic weekend in Wanganui. The apartment was a winner with all of us, clean, spacious and a great location. Would definitely recommend and book again when back in Wanganui.

Absolutely loved this place! Wished we stayed longer. Beautiful place with an outstanding view. The place is spotless and you will find everything you need. The bed and linen is very comfortable. If you have mobility restrictions this place might not be for you as you need to walk down a few steps with your luggage. Otherwise this is a dream!

The place was convenient, clean and private. Had all the amenities needed for a short stay. The host(s) were very considerate and baked us a fresh loaf of bread along with a fully functional kitchen. Highly recommend for couples needing privacy and serene environment.

I thought it was a room under the hosts house however it turned out to be a lovely stand alone unit nicely decorated comfortable bed practical kitchen and lounge with lots of sun nice view of the lake and very peaceful I would highly recommend a stay at Irene's if you are in Taupo. It's a couple of minutes drive to the local dairy Bar and restaurant with nice food. And only about 5 or 6 minutes drive to the town centre

Fiona and her partner were very hospitable and the place was super cosy and everything included makes the place all the more worth it. Would definitely stay again :)

Comfortable stay in a quiet neighbourhood but easy access to town centre

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home ….. our hosts Marki and Chris were just wonderful and everything about the space and the surroundings was top notch. The furnishings, decor, attention to detail, lovely treats and overall vibe of the home was very special …. Walking distance to the most beautiful little bay, surrounded by nature was awesome. Would thoroughly recommend!!!

A wonderful place to stay. The apartment was very nice and had everything we needed for a comfortable 2 night stay. Rick was amazing to deal with and very quick and clear communication. We'll definitely return soon.

Great place for our family to stay.

Beautiful place and super hosts. Appreciated all the thoughtful supplies to make our stay restful and enjoyable. Thank you so much.

Lovely stay thank you. The view was so relaxing. We will stay again.

We had a great overnight trip at Katharine’s place - the studio and property were stunning, the shower was great, and the fresh croissants were a lovely touch! Would highly recommend to anyone staying in the Hawke’s Bay Area

An absolute place to relax, and feel just like home. We loved it 🥰 it has everything you need plus luxury, what more can you ask for! Highly recommend Thank you Sarah
