Cottage holiday rentals in Manawatū-Whanganui Region

A lovely house with everything you need for a cosy stay. Our two young daughters loved the outdoor baths and making friends with the cows. I’d recommend Delwyn’s house to anyone looking for an escape!

Farm View Cottage is the perfect idyllic retreat! The cottage and surrounds were truly stunning and all the extra little special touches made our stay unbelievably lovely. The delicious breakfast options (including cupcakes with Happy Birthday on - beautiful attention to detail!), the exceptional hand soaps, lotions and bath bombs and the incredible projector screen set up were all extra special. It was private and luxurious and we will be recommending it to everyone we know! Thank you so much, Nick and Marlena!

It was our second stay at the cottage and we will be back again. Wonderful, quiet spot surrounded by beautiful gardens and views of the hills around Waipawa. Johanna and Andrew are the perfect hosts. It was a great stay.

Thank you for a wonderful stay. The cottage was modern and had everything we needed, the outlook was just beautiful and we were so close to everything in town. Even though it rained most of our visit, we still enjoyed every second of our stay. We LOVED being able to get up close with the farm animals, our 6 year old had a blast! 10/10 and highly recommend to stay here. Hopefully we’ll be able to visit again from our next visit from Australia ❤️

20Bee has everything we needed for a long weekend stay and then some. We didn't get a chance to use the fire pit or the fire but hopefully we will next time. Spa pool was well used after all the activities we did in the area. House was warm and dry. DVD's galore. Games. Jig saws. If you're ever stuck inside, you'll not be bored. And if you can get out, town centre is only a couple of blocks away. There's plenty of parking in a very quiet neighbourhood. This is one unit that we will return to now that we've fallen madly in love with everything there is to do in Ohakune.

Loved our stay! Especially the outdoor bath. Very clean, nice and quiet. Went on a couple walks around the property which was beautiful and our dog had the best time.

We needed a break from Wellington and booked this place for a couple of nights. Had an amazing stay - the place was perfect for our family and it even had a gym so I could workout. Nicky was a wonderful host - warm, inviting and incredibly easy to communicate with. Highly recommend and I hope we can come back

We wanted a relaxing break and that’s exactly what we got at Sarah‘s quirky cottage. Loved the decor and all the games and CDs, spa pool, closeness to the beach. It was great to be able to bring our dog as well. Thank you very much, we will be back!

A great old school kiwi bach. Close to Two Mile Bay. Super easy and had everything we needed. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks

We stayed a night on our way homes d it was perfect for that. Easy to find, very clean. Fab for our wee poodle as well

Beautiful little cottage, great for a weekend getaway and to go up the mountain to throw a snowball or two.

Had a great stay with our two furry friends. Good location and just perfect for having dogs, completely fenced and gated, and was toasty warm with the heat from the fireplace!! Would stay again. Thanks!

Lovely little cottage. Great kitchen and hot showers. Easy walk to shingle beach. Easy drive to Napier and beyond. Warm and cosy in the evening- sun in the afternoon. Perfect for a weekend away. Host live next door if any questions.

Our second time staying here. Fantastic location, private, quiet and beautiful scenery. Very comfortable stay. Will definitely be booking in again! Thanks heaps Jane

Fantastic spot to stay - lovely relaxing space and surroundings, close enough to town, while still a peaceful spot. We stayed with our 1 year old, and the space was perfect, with a completely enclosed deck for peace of mind with her scooting around. The hosts were super helpful, friendly and really responsive. We would definitely stay again!

We felt right at home in the cottage. It was warm after we got the fire going which was nice. The kids’ beds were thoughfully made up prior to our arrival and there were a lot of extra blankets which was great- handy as it did get cold throughout the night. Kitchen came with pans, oil, salt and pepper which was perfect. Unfortunately we only caught a glimpse of the back yard mountain view which was highly raved about in the reviews as we were checking out as the weather was gloomy the whole stay. It would have been perfect with an afternoon barbe. Thanks for letting us stay in your home :)

Cosy and tranquil place next to some adorable baby sheep. Glad we popped by!

Absolutely love this location, close to the forest, mountain, town and trains - the whole family enjoyed it. The house is lovely and had everything we needed with the exception of a washing machine but there is laundromat in town. The kitchen works well and the kids loved the raised bath - they've never been able able to watch trains from the tub before!

We adored our stay! The cottage was pristine. The location is great. It is right across a quiet stretch of beach and walking distance from a great playground. It is very close to the airport but recent upgrades meant we couldn't hear the planes from inside the house. Our little one was obsessed with watching the planes take off. What really set this place apart was how thoughtful and kind the hosts were. We have a baby and toddler and the hosts brought toys for the kids to play with. The kids had the best time!

This cosy, little house offers everything we need for our short vacation in this region. Great addition is the smell of the citrus trees and Janet's friendly dog and cat. We would definitely choose Janet's place next time.

An idyllic rural base for exploring the area. Marlene welcomed us with home grown produce and ideas of what to do. All very safe and relaxed. Short drives to fabulous forests trails and thermal pools

Lovely little place to stay with beautiful views. Sven was a fantastic host

Such a beautiful slice of paradise to stay at! We made a 4 hour journey to a local event and had the pleasure of staying in this lovely cottage. It had everything we needed, was very clean and the hosts were amazing with communication and just accommodating us in general. We cannot fault this place at all and will be back next time! (The chickens and friendly cat were also very accommodating) :)

our second year staying for the month of January while visiting family. Ideal.
