Vacation rentals with a firepit in Manawatū-Whanganui

What a great week we had at Nicky’s! The architectural home was really cool, and a perfect setup for our family. The real gem is the property - there is so much to do and explore! There’s a whole separate area down a small hill from the house that is a magical step into the lovely surroundings; so much local flora and fauna to discover! Great house with kids as there was no lack of screen-free entertainment. Would go back in a heartbeat!

Lovely home and great hosts - it was just what we were looking for during our time in Kinloch. Hosts were very quick to respond to any questions we had and super thoughtful with how the house was set-up before we arrived and with what they made available. Would definitely recommend the hosts and the property.

We had a great stay. The remote location and wood burning stove plus wood burning hot tub made things feel very cozy and unique. We had a blast keeping the fires going and spending time in the tub on the deck and watching deer and birds go by. Highly recommend the experience!

Was the perfect location for us to explore the area, including the forgotten highway. We were impressed how good the heating options were, x2 efficient heat pumps and great log burner, with heat transfer into the bedrooms, plenty of wood available. It was easy to feel at home as lots of personal touches throughout. We were a multi-generational family of 6 but could imagine x2 families would work well with the space. We self catered and kitchen was well set up to do this.

We had a great few days at John’s place in Taupō! The large space and number of bedrooms worked well for our group of 11 and the gardens, trampoline and spa were well used! Really quiet area yet close to everything we wanted to do. John was very communicative and responsive.

Very comfortable and beautiful home in a safe spot close to town. Had everything I need for a very comfortable stay.

The home was clean, comfortable and perfect for our family of 3’s needs. We enjoyed our stay and definitely would reconsider if we were to visit again. Property managers were responsive, helpful and gracious. One minor issue - we felt that ‘there were too many rules’ - this didn’t take away from our overall strongly positive impression, however. Walkable distance to the town and good options for meals - The Cypress Tree and Osteria Ohakune were excellent.

This was my second stay at Ohm home, the first time being 5 years ago when I stayed here for 7 days on my own. This time was with my partner and since staying here the first time I’ve always raved about this stay and looked fondly back at the photos I’d taken. As great as the place looks from photos, nothing is as incredible and picturesque as actually being there and wow did it still amaze me being back again. The home itself is amazing, spotlessly clean with all the amenities and some very nice extra touches to make the stay that much nicer. The views and environment there are truly special and unique and I’ve not found any other place to be able to so easily feel at peace and truly switch off and relax. We will definitely be staying here again and I don’t think there will ever be another stay and experience even close to Ohm home. Thank you so much Raquel and Eduard for providing such a special place!

We had a wonderful stay at Andrew and Jane’s place! The house is lovely, with a beautiful green setting and a fantastic garden where we enjoyed relaxing. The bed and couch were both large and very comfortable, making our stay extra enjoyable. Andrew and Jane were friendly and communicative hosts. The location was peaceful, and we loved listening to the birds in the garden. Overall, a great place to stay!

Really enjoyed our time at Shelly and Marks. Great hosts and will be back again. Highly recommend

By far, the best place we have stayed. The hosts have thought of every little detail. You can tell they really care about what they do. Every inch of the accommodation was spotless. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Highly recommended!

Jutta was an extremely welcoming and warm person with two adorable dogs. She was very helpful if ever we needed anything. The apartment was cosy and spacious and we would definitely stay here again.

When you think Airbnb , this is the standard you expect . This cabin is in a beautiful quiet location right on a small stream, you can watch fish swimming up and down in the crystal clear water whilst you BBQ some food . Private entrance which makes the area secure and comfortable. Spotless interior and a comfortable bed with a smart TV. Only work ons I have is that the kitchen could have some more basics for cooking or a small coffee machine would be superb. Great stay and would recommend to anyone .

We loved our stay. Great place for extended whanau holiday, plenty of space to accomodate. Many amenities and felt like being at home with anything you could need and more. Serena's soaps were beautiful and such a lovely additional treat Nga mihi nui

Mark was responsive and made the check in easy. Awesome set up with the outdoor fire and badminton course. Very close to the beach too.

Lovely tiny house in the middle of nowhere. Generally really well-equipped and -furnished. The location is easy to find thanks to a marker on Google Maps, just make sure to take the correct gate on the right-hand side (it was a bit confusing at dark with two gates right next to each other).

Our second time staying here and had an awesome time with friends - amazing location and great facilities. Absolutely loved it big thanks to Michelle for hosting.
