Holiday rentals with lake access in Manawatū-Whanganui Region

Sarah was a wonderful host and her place felt like home. We had everything we needed for a week in Taupo. Close to a shopping market and the walking path on the lake, the place was quiet and peaceful.

We had a wonderful stay with Tim. The views are incredible. The home is in a lovely quiet town, we felt private yet safe. The interior is just beautiful. Thanks so much Tim 😊

Such an amazing place to stay, love the open plan and natural lighting throughout. lovely view of the lake and the Kokomea Village(shopping centre) is only a few minutes away. Although we had issues with the internet during our stay for the duration we appreciated the efforts and communication our hosts tried to provide us with. Highly recommend staying here

Absolutely loved this property, we felt instantly at home - it’s very comfortable. Being elevated from the road, the view of the lake is wonderful and the sunsets are stunning! Bayley is a great communicator which is always appreciated. We would definitely book this property again - thank you.

Hi Belinda and Andy We had an amazing stay! The ambiance of the place was perfect – calm, cozy, and beautifully arranged. Everything was so well-kept and thoughtfully set up.

The welcome card from you was such an unexpected and thoughtful touch – it really made us feel warmly welcomed, and we were so happy to see it. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back again!😊

A very wonderful day for my family trip and we all appreciate the facilities here. Wcan have electric blankets for t

We had a great stay! The house was very clean and comfortable. It was the perfect base while visiting friends in the area. The neighbourhood was quiet but still had plenty for the kids to do. Check in was super easy and we arrived to a nice warm home with the lights on for us! We loved our stay at Karen’s!

Lovely little place super close to the main strip, eaily walking distance to most activities within the area, super friendly host for our brief conversation to ensure i had the rundown on anything i may have missed 10/10

A very quiet and peaceful place with a stunning view of the lake — we woke up to the sounds of nature and watched the sunset from the window every evening. The house was spotless, with every detail thoughtfully arranged: a comfortable bed, warm blankets, and a fully equipped kitchen. What we appreciated the most was the sense of calm — it’s the perfect spot to disconnect and recharge. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again!

Lovely place. We felt right at home. Lloyd was really helpful with recommendations for dinner. We would stay again

Great place to stay very accessible for the walking and riding around the lakefront. Also walkable to the shops.

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!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and the house was very comfortable with all we needed. Very tastefully decorated with lots of lovely thoughtful touches...thank you Lu. Lovely view of the lake and yhe Acacia Bay location was serene. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Loved my stay, left in the morning, returned at night, had awesome sleeps, comfortable and warm. Ngā mihi!

beautiful house for a couple going away, close to town and the view is incredible!

Awesome cosy place with awesome views! You can see the lake, a mountain, the Taupo town lights at night. Would highly recommend for any couple looking to spend some time away in NZ.

The place is it is as described. My children love the toys inside and the backyard. Great walk to a lake nearby.

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

Amazing house, beautiful outdoor area with a huge fireplace for winter, easy location, close to New World. 10/10 stay, thank you!

Lovely cosy place, beautiful surroundings and a helpful host

Beautiful spot so close to the lake. The Bach has everything you need and we felt right at home. I have recommended to all my friends and family that will be visiting soon!! Loved it, thank you ☺️

Rebecca's place is a lovely 2 bedroom house with a sunny deck. Just a minute or two walk down the street you arrive lakeside to stunning views. We enjoyed the use of the free kayaks and spending a full day in Motuoapa bay. We checked out Rebecca's food recommendations and had yum fish and chips from Challenge and a delicious lunch at The Liquorice Cafe. The winter nights were cosy with the heatpump on. We thought Rebecca's place was excellent value for money and were delighted to have our wee fox terrier share in the adventure. Definitely recommend this escape from bigger towns to a peaceful, pretty house in this wee bay.

Relaxing stay in a beautiful, cosy place. Comfortable bed. Nice shower with good water pressure. Quiet surroundings. Alexandra generously provided lots of complimentary food like snacks, fruit, milk, breakfast cereal etc as well as tea and coffee. Even comfy bath robes were provided. It felt like luxury but at an affordable price!

Great place to stay right by the lake. Easy to get to Taupo from the house.
