Beachfront vacation rentals in Manawatū-Whanganui Region

Fantastic home with beautiful and light spaces, plus an excellent outdoor area. Rauru was flexible, responsive and helpful which was really appreciated. We had a great time and would love to stay again!

one of my all time favourite holiday stays in the north island, loved sharing it with friends this time. Simple in the best possible old school kiwi bach sense, but with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Wonderfully remote to get away from it all, beautiful scenery and fantastic outdoor space to relax in any weather.

Great hosts. Easy to have a conversation with and excellent communication. Very comfortable bed in a good sized bedroom. Great location. We walked to the beach for a swim each day. We are not “pet people” but the dog and cat are really easy to get along with. The cat was very friendly.

A great holiday home in a beautiful location. Loads of room inside and out with wonderful views. We had everything we needed for a relaxing few days.

Andreas place was amazing. My Mum and her friends had a lovely time. It was peaceful and quiet, stunning location, classic kiwi bach. Lovely little details, and extras. Andrea was responsive and helpful. Thanks, we will definitely be back.

Absolutely a great stay! Would definitely book again. So cozy and has so much character what a gem this place is Ngā mihi Stephanie

Carolyn’s house is a true gem! the house is spacious, great bathroom and very well stocked kitchen. and the location!!!! the grounds literally touch Lake Taupo, it does not get better!! The communication with Carolyn was very easy, she also responded always very quickly. We had so wonderful days at the house, and can’t recommend it enough

Helens place is exactly what we needed for a weekend getaway with a few friends! Right by the beach, with enough room for a small group/big family! We can’t recommend this place more!

The place was fantastic.very well equipped.the views were absolutely fantastic.very comfortable.our group were very impressed .we could not fault it at all.we would definitely book again.

We stayed at Hieke's beautiful home for 2 nights. We found it exactly as described on the listing, and even better than expected. The bedroom was large, bright, clean and tastefully decorated. It felt like home immediately. The en-suite bathroom and thoughtful touches like a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities were a bonus. Hieke was so welcoming when we arrived, showed us around and made us feel at home immediately. We were able to use the kitchen to cook, and bikes to explore Napier. The spa pool, swimming pool and communal areas in the house which guests are able to use are a bonus. Breakfast in the morning was just right and very tasty. Most of all, Hieke and Peter were so friendly, warm and interesting to talk to. We had a wonderful stay with them and would recommend their place to anybody.

Super friendly. Lovely apartment. Great pools. Very happy

Clean and tidy apartment, right on the waterfront, ample parking and a 10 minute walk into the hustle and bustle of Taupō. Recommended.

Lovely place to stay, great view overlooking the river would definitely stay again.

Nicest Air BnB we’ve stayed at in NZ. Love the lake at our back door. Kids loved the paddle board and kayaks. House was incredibly clean and beautifully renovated. We would love to stay again.

What a gem! Fantastic host, fabulous accommodation and perfect location! walking distance to the beach and wetlands, and short distance to central Napier and the vineyards. Highly recommend!

Rhys home was perfect 👌 beautiful views so spacious and private had all we needed Rhy was also very accommodating offering early check in if needed .. the home is like 2 homes in one great for a big family .. but was perfect for the 2 of us as well highly recommended.. views of the lake were stunning and the lake is only a 1 minute walk

Great place to sit and have a cup of tea and watch the sun rise. Love the privacy. Very easy to get to bars on the port. Doug had great comms and the house was well set out and contained everything you might need

Homey place with everything you need. Loved hearing the sounds of the sea and wind breeze in the afternoon. Close to the beach and we love the walk on the dunes going to the beach. Overall happy with Ann’s place.

Beautifully furnished and decorated space - modern, cozy, and spotless. Perfect location right across from the beach. The host was super responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!

Great location and the place was better than expected, had everything and more. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Deidre was excellent with communicating. Would recommend.

This is our favorite spot to stay as location is spot on and the house is amazing. This trip was different though as we had more family members stay with us but they absolutely loved it! We will definitely be back. Thank you having us.
