Guesthouse vacation rentals in Manawatū-Whanganui Region

We enjoyed our stay here. The place is spacious with luxurious, cosy carpet. So great to find a place with 2 separate bedrooms, each with a queen bed. It is located handy to the centre of town but in a quiet street. The host was very helpful and responded quickly to communications.

Loved our stay at Mel’s place. It was warm and welcoming and such lovely touches with milk and breakfast. Highly recommend

Lovely stay in a beautiful location- thanks again.

Jane the host was absolutely fantastic. the cottage is definitely a home away from home.

Jenny and Johnny very friendly. Fabulous breakfast selection cereal, fruit ,toast any eggs. A plate of muffins and scones. Beautiful views down the valley. Top spot will stay again.

Peter and Angela were friendly host and their cats were lovely. A peaceful place! The cozy flat has everything you need and cooking facilities. Not much shower pressure. Would stay again!

Friendly hospitable host. I enjoyed the brief stay. Thank for being so accommodating

great accommodation, easy to find, beautiful views, lovely hosts. had everything we needed and more. would definitely stay again. Great place to stay to break up our travels for a long journey with little ones

Perfect and just what i was looking for for a couple of nights. If you looking for comfort and a home from home place to lay your head... stop searching just book this one. Nice helpful people as well .. 100%. Will be back when that way. Thank you

Thank you. We had a lovely stay at your place🤗

really nice, peaceful . had everything needed

Appreciate Sarah for accommodating our last minute changes. Would 100% recommend her place.

Perfect stop for an overnighter after a long drive. Just off the main highway so conveniently located but quiet you don’t hear anything Would definitely recommend, warm private and well equiped little space

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I travel a lot for mahi and I stayed there as property was very close to my conference venue. Well equipped, very clean, comfortable bed. The laundry is a bonus! First ever Air Bnb that has supplied enough loo paper & towels! Host popped in 2nd night with locally made chocolates. She’s so lovely and thoughtful. A couple of real simple ideas to make stay for guests even better would be: Must seal the bifold doors ASAP as was very draughty and cold. Will be worst in winter. May help with road traffic noise a bit as well as not double glazed. I needed to text host for instructions on how to work electronic curtains hehehe. Luggage racks would be handy for suitcases. Needs an “opening” to metal pathway edging as had to lift luggage up and over the pathway edging. Security light didn’t always come on. Was looking forward to a swim in pool but was not clean. Take gumboots as grass in parking area, not metal. My work shoes would have got soaked. BEAUTIFUL!

So impressed with our stay at Lee & Helen's. The perfect space for us. It has everything you could need, tastefully decorated and thought out. The communication was fantastic, and the gingerbread was a hit! Thanks again Lee & Helen. I would definitely recommend your place to others.

Lovely place to stay, Angela was super responsive and helpful!

It’s a beautiful house overlooking the apple orchards. Glenda’s prepared us brownies, fruits and chips before hand, which is very sweet gesture. It’s say a studio but the kitchen is separated from the bedroom. The appliances felt luxurious. The bed is very comfy, we actually overslept. The tv is big facing the sofa but you can turn it toward your bed. The laundry room is in a separate room right beside it. Definitely looking forward staying there again!

Beautifully designed accommodation. Modern, pristine and comfortable. Huge backyard for a dog to run and play which my dog absolutely loved. Giacomo and his wife are very easygoing and friendly hosts and were always available for any queries. My mother and I had a lovely stay and would highly recommend this place.

Had a lovely stay at Warren’s cosy place. Had old school batch vibes with a lovely view and all the amenities you’d need. Great peaceful location but still close to town! Thank you for the choccy fish 🐠🐠🐠

Lovely place and great host ! The place had very comfy beds and had everything enough for our stay!

We were looking for a place to stay overnight after attending a family funeral in Napier, and finding an Airbnb close to the highway south of Napier isn't easy. So we were delighted to find The Phoenix on Millar in the village of Otane. Not only is it conveniently situated but is a cosy haven on a cold wet night. Good heating and a warm, comfortable bed. It also has a well equipped kitchen, and under cover parking is a bonus. We did have a little trouble finding the gate in the dark but that was a very minor problem. I'm sure that Carolina's place would be equally delightful in the summer especially with the tiny leafy courtyard off the bedroom just beckoning for a morning coffee or quiet read . would definitely recommend 🙂

Ann was so kind and accepted my last minute booking request, after I decided to hike out a day early from the Tongariro Northern Circuit due to bad weather. It was just the cozy place I needed - and oh did I sleep well! It was so nice and quiet. I would describe Ann's as a "peaceful retreat", and would encourage you to stay a few nights! Ann and her daughter warmly welcomed me, took the time to show me around, and we're just lovely to chat to. The little cottage was just the right size, private, and in the most gorgeous setting. I was kindly offered a late check out, and had the weather not been so sunny I would have happily stayed there all day! Some people are meant to host - Ann is one of those people 😊 I look forward to coming back someday in the future!

Considerate and kind host, appreciated the little things available on arrival such as tea, coffee, sugar, sachet drinks & milk. Lovely amenities that provided everything we needed for our stay. Will recommend to family & friends and will be our first choice of accommodation when passing through Taupo again.

Fantastic stay. The hosts went above and beyond with hospitality. The home was squeaky clean and very well appointed.
