Vacation rentals with a firepit in Tararua District

Of all the accommodation we stayed in during our recent 2 week trip to NZ, tgis was our favourite. Brenda was extremely helpful. The location is peaceful with a great little country pub a fewmin walk away. The cottage was well equipped (even an air fryer and toasted sandwich maker, breakfast cereals and little snanaks). Would absolutely recomend.

We loved the vibe of this place, soulful and colourful. It was perfect for our family gathering with adult children and partners. We absolutely loved the music installation and music choice. And fresh eggs for breakfast. We would love to come again.

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!

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.

We stayed here with our 1-year-old daughter and our dog for a family getaway and absolutely loved it. Even though it was pissing down with rain and we couldn’t get out and about much, the stunning views from Neil’s Whare more than made up for it. We happily stayed inside, warm and cosy, just soaking in the scenery. The place was quiet, tidy, and super comfortable—just what we needed. We’d love to come back again soon. Thanks so much for having us, Zoe and Lisa!

Lovely air bnb, would use again! :) Warm and cozy, close to Pak n Save - the host thought of every little detail. Even mint chocolate biscuits in the fridge. Would recommend

Great stay in Tokomaru! Communication with Marie was super easy, and the home was modern, clean, and well-equipped. The quiet, dog-friendly stay was a bonus, and it’s less than 30 minutes to the beach. Would definitely recommend!

We stayed here with 12 friends for my husband’s 30th, and it was absolutely perfect. He loves native bush and birds, so this place was a dream. The house feels like a fairytale—spacious, warm, and beautifully designed. The kitchen is well-equipped and flows easily to the patio, where we barbecued and dined outdoors. There’s a handy kitchen window for passing food outside, and both indoor and outdoor tables made it easy to adapt to the weather. The property sits on 7 acres of native bush with walking tracks, birds like piwakawakas following us, and a magical glow worm walk at night. There's an outdoor fire area with couches, ambient lighting, and a speaker system that connects throughout the house and outside. It’s perfect for reconnecting with friends and nature. We left feeling relaxed, happy, and so grateful. Huge thanks to the hosts for the clear communication and thoughtful touches. If you're thinking of booking—do it. You won’t regret it.

We loved our stay in this beautiful place - Leah has thought of everything! And sitting out on the lovely verandah looking over the peaceful private garden and up to the stars at night was a delight. Highly recommend
