Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Manawatū-Whanganui Region

We had a comfortable stay at Jess’ place. The place was exactly as described and very well furnished. The home is very spacious and we could’ve easily stayed for longer.

Awesome stay at Katherine's. She always goes over and beyond just to make our boys feel comfortable. Will keep coming back!

The view is absolutely stunning! The house is beautiful, comfortable, and kid friendly.

We were looking for a relaxing family trip and that is exactly what we got. Amazing views great location and was nice to have a spa for the cold days. Airbnb was also really well stocked in the kitchen and streaming services on the TV. Will definitely stay here again, quite expensive as we were only five people but would definitely be more worth it with a slightly bigger group!

We had a great stay at Sharon’s place! House was clean, cozy and amenities were thoughtful and well-prepared, especially the log burner and kitchen, thanks for the milk and ginger cookies🥰. We’d be happy to stay there again if got any chance in the future!!

We had a great stay during our NZ trip!

We had a great stay! The host was incredibly friendly and responsive—communication was immediate, and they kindly provided a rice cooker when we asked, which was very thoughtful. On our last day, they even arranged a quiet space for our boys to study for their exam, and we really appreciated that extra consideration. The place was cozy and well-equipped. The heater in the living room kept us nice and warm, and the small kitchen, though compact, was neat and had everything we needed to cook comfortably. The shower was also warm and refreshing, perfect after a long day. Overall, it was a comfortable and welcoming stay. Highly recommended!

Great place with a good feel to it. Beautiful gardens. Perfect location for a few days fishing on the Tongariro river just 50m away. The outstanding Hare & Copper Eatery is just round the corner for dinner. Beds and bedding were all super comfortable. Would definitely book again. Thank you Jocelyn for being an excellent host.

Vicki was very welcoming and helpful. We had a lovely stay and the property had everything we needed. We really appreciated the peaceful location and beautiful views. Thank you, Vicki

beautiful house. spotless. and Wendy was a pleasure.

Enjoy the location. Great hosts. Great for a breakaway from everything but still close to Whanganui to still enjoy the city and the Whanganui people and any events going on.

We had such a lovely and relaxing stay at Irene’s apartment. She is super attentive and the house was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. Such an amazing location so close to the water and a short walk from the shops Acacia Bay has to offer. Would definitely 100% recommend. Thank you so much for having us, Irene.

We had a great stay at the Station House apartment. The location was ideal to Victoria Ave, and so handy to have an allocated carpark available! The apartment itself was very chic, clean and comfortable. Brian and Tracy provided really clear comms for check-in instructions, finding the place, etc. It was a great spot and I would stay there again when in Whanganui next.

This was a great little getaway over a long weekend. Cozy with the wood fire and spa pool. Easy location to drive and explore the many trails in the area. Yummy loaf of wheat bread was perfect for breakfast/snacking. Thank you for hosting such a great accommodation in Ohakune!

We stayed there for two nights because we wanted to be near the Tongariro crossing. It ended up being cancelled because of poor weather so we ended up staying in the place for the day and made dinner using their kitchen. We found their place very relaxing and we did the crossing the day after. In the evening, we had an issue with the power but Brian responded swiftly and got the power back online. Great stay!

One of the best stays we’ve had at New Zealand! House was modern, cosy and clean. It was also well equipped so we were really comfortable during our stay there. King bed was super comfy and we slept very well in our 2 nights there. Selena was also very responsive and replied almost immediately when i msg her. Greatly appreciated! We will not hesitate to book this accoms again when we’re back in future. Highly recommend this place to everyone!

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.

We love staying here. Neals place is warm and cosy, great tv, kitchen, lounge and bed. Off road parking and Neal supplies the things others dont

Carol and John are the perfect hosts. Happy to chat and communicate with all aspects of the stay. The place itself is a lovely, spotless and quite place with the sound of nature greeting your mornings ☺️. Will stay again.

We has an absolutely amazing time. location was great, the apartment was lovely. We'll definately be back, thanks so much.

Highly recommend!! Karina is so friendly, helpful, and makes you feel you right at home as soon as you arrive. Clean apartment, with all amenities you would need for a few nights stay. Great size for 2 couples and dog. Great location also, within walking distance to great restaurants and a short drive up to Te Mata peak walk. Thank you for having us!

This is our second time here and very happy that we were lucky enough to be able to book it. This place is absolutely fabulous, decorated with impeccable taste, super comfortable, super clean and it has a beautiful garden to look at and our host was just amazing. It is by far our favourite AirBnb.

Louise’s place was fantastic - even better than the photos! It was spotlessly clean, had a beautiful view of the lake, and included thoughtful touches like free condiments. A very comfortable and welcoming stay. Highly recommended!

Michelle's place was a lovely place to stay. Michelle was great at communicating. Thanks so much.
