Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Manawatū-Whanganui

What a great base to explore National Park. This is not a “professional” Airbnb but their vocational home and it feels Ike one. This is a very nice surprise vs 100s of faceless Airbnb locations which. Everything was clean, kitchen was stacked. We can confirm that outdoor hot tub is there and operational. We did not use it but the water was hot and views were nice. The only small issue: no shampoo, only body soap ( or we did not find it). Not a big deal as we had some but was surprising given how stocked the house is. Thank you Debbie for letting us stay.

Stayed for 2 nights and it was amazing, great location and neighborhood. Extremely well furnished, comfy towels and bed. I will definitely consider staying here again. Check-in was a breeze.

This property was very nice. It was secluded from the other houses and has a beautiful yard. I have no complaints and will definitely plan to stay again!

Second visit to this little cabin. It’s perfect for a couple of days away with our elderly German Shepherds. Fully fenced year and enough room for them to lay out on the grass or deck.

The Red Shack is one of the best Air Bnb’s we have stayed in. Very rustic, and so comfortable and homely. Silke & Duane were brilliant to deal with and have thought of everything one needs. Would definitely recommend to others.

We absolutely loved the house, and our stay couldn’t have been better. It’s a spacious home with everything you could wish for. After a long day, it was a real treat to relax in the hot spa, and the boys especially enjoyed the sauna. John’s communication and the information he provided about the house and Taupo were wonderful. We would highly recommend booking this house for a fantastic experience, just as we had.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay though the downstairs amenities were a challenge as poor water pressure and dim lighting in shower were a problem .

Beautiful home very near Ohakune town center (with easy beautiful outdoor walks to and from the property). Views and space itself exceeded already high expectations set by the photos. Well equipped kitchen and thoughtful touches from the spa, kitchen and bathroom supplies, to the fireplace and TV streaming options.

The location was ideal for what I wanted to do - could walk everywhere. Apartment was exactly as described and super easy to find due to the clear instructions. The view from the sunny front room was spectacular. I didn't find the traffic noise a problem, and anyway the bedroom was at the back away from the road. There was everything needed for a good stay - full kitchen, loads of hot water and comfy bed. Thanks.

Wonderful and convenient location. Very spacious clean and tidy. Receptive host. Our second time of visiting.

Absolutely loved this place! Wished we stayed longer. Beautiful place with an outstanding view. The place is spotless and you will find everything you need. The bed and linen is very comfortable. If you have mobility restrictions this place might not be for you as you need to walk down a few steps with your luggage. Otherwise this is a dream!

My stay here was perfect! It was quiet, private and a quick walk through the back gate to the beach. Watched the sun set then had a soak in the spa listening to the waves. Fiona was more than generous with her hospitality. I didn’t want to leave.

Comfortable stay in a quiet neighbourhood but easy access to town centre

Marki and Chris were fantastic hosts. We had an awesome stay, the place is beautiful and scenery is stunning. Would love to come back!

My husband and I were in town for the NZ Ironman. The location was absolutely perfect. Liz and her partner were very kind and welcoming. Would definitely recommend if visiting Taupo!

Lynne’s place was ideal for our two month stay. Clean, comfortable, attractively furnished, private and had everything we needed. Suited us perfectly and Lynne & Richard were kind and thoughtful hosts. A huge thank you to both.

Lovely place, fantastic view, the laundry and dryer was very convenient. Easy check in and no problems at all!

Great place for our family to stay.

What an absolutely stand out, awesome place to stay. You truly couldn’t get better than Carol and John’s place. Carol and John are wonderful, friendly hosts. The apartment is gorgeous with everything you need with the bonus of so many delicious provisions. I can’t say enough about this wonderful Airbnb. Thank you so much Carol And John, your apartment is outstanding.

Karina and Ninos place is absolutely lovely! A beautiful spot and surroundings. Wish we stayed longer, we will be back. And fantastic hosts. We loved their little guy Wazza too ❤️ highly recommend! Our little doggies loved it too.

Lovely stay thank you. The view was so relaxing. We will stay again.

By far the best Airbnb we have stayed in. The little added extra touches made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. Things like hand cut cubes of butter, homemade jam, welcome croissants, scoops of washing powder, quality sheets and the comfiest, softest towels I’ve had the pleasure to use, all contribute to an amazing experience. The view from the bed was peaceful and exquisite. A great deal of thought had gone into the vibe of the place and how it is decorated. Lots of different areas to relax and take in the ambience. Thank you Katharine for your advice about local attractions, restaurants and things not to miss in your local area. We took you up on your suggestions and weren’t disappointed. Your attention to detail is second to none. Fantastic. Leisa and Peter Brisbane Australia

An absolute place to relax, and feel just like home. We loved it 🥰 it has everything you need plus luxury, what more can you ask for! Highly recommend Thank you Sarah

Walking distance to restaurants, and they will be building a Woolworths nearby soon. Was so peaceful watching the river flow by from the balcony.
