Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Whanganui River

We had a great time at this lovely secluded home. The living area was really spacious and the kitchen was amazing and well equipped for cooking and serving a diverse range of meals - an entertainers delight. We will certainly look to rebooking in the future. Dawn even found a little bunny that one of the girls left behind and kindly got it safely home.

Ngā mihi nui!! Such a beautiful, clean, tidy, gorgeous space with a cosy fireplace that is simple to light, warm beds and perfect water pressure in the shower - exactly what the dr ordered for all 3 of us, and the four legged one with a well fenced-in section... Super close to the beach and a back gate that leads down to the awa with a short walk to the glorious Butter cave and 'flowerpots'.. Easy communication with hosts, and we truly appreciated the early/late check-in/check-out negotiations.. Friendly locals, who meet in the carpark at the top of the driveway on the daily, are keen to share fishing tips etc, and this homely little bach is very close to the best butchery and to the Awakino pub which served us up some deliciously fresh seafood - it was seriously hard to leave Mokau!!

We stayed for one night while travelling down the North Island. The house was easy to access and was fully fenced which was ideal as we have a dog and 2 young children. The place was clean and tidy and was family friendly.

“A Perfect Stay with Stunning Views!” I had an amazing stay at this AirBnB! The location was perfect—peaceful, yet close to everything I needed. One of the highlights was the beautiful walk nearby, which offered breathtaking views that made every morning feel magical. Whether enjoying a cup of coffee outside or taking in the scenery during a stroll, the surroundings were absolutely stunning. The home itself was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped, making my stay truly enjoyable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic getaway!

We enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious, sunny, and in a quiet neighborhood.

We’ve stayed here several times - it works really well for our family. Hope to be back again in the winter.

Lovely bach. Clean, comfortable, nestled amongst trees. Great space to relax and enjoy family pursuits. Tūrangi is just beautiful in Autumn. And Jeff & Sue were really supportive hosts in assisting with resolving an issue/challenge of our making!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jodie’s place for a special family reunion. It fit all 11 of us easily and didn’t feel cramped. It was tidy and clean, and when we accidentally locked ourselves out at one point we were able to call and get back in within minutes! We all talked about coming back one day, as we enjoyed the space so much. Thanks Jodie.

Despite an initial hiccup, we had a fantastic time at Tracy and Damien’s home. Tracy was very responsive and helpful. We loved our stay and will hopefully return to stay here again!

Lovely spacious private place to stay. Very tastefully decorated. Fiona is a great hostess. Very easy to deal with.

Great family week in Whanganui. Our place was amazing, comfortable, great vibe, relaxing, loved the pool and deck with outdoor bath. Wished we could stay longer. Ken and Jess so helpful and responsive, very friendly. Would love to stay there again.

myself and grandchildren loved Cecile's place..homely and has everything our lil family needed even the extras of brekky stuff, spreads, bread, milk ..truly appreciated when showing up with X4 young children ..We had a dip in pool abit cool at this time of year but refreshing ..

A great spot. Walking distance to the beautiful lake and gardens. The place was very tidy with beautiful decor, comfortable beds and a beautiful bathroom. Private with a seperate entrance except just one bathroom. Also no running water in the kitchen which I assume is work in progress. Jude was very friendly and welcoming. Definitely could return.

Ruby was a great and was very proactive with instructions. The place was spacious and had great entertainment with the spa, pool, and pool table.

Our stay was amazing! The views were incredible. The host was also super responsive and helpful! The beds were extremely comfy too. I will say it is a hilly gravel drive to get to the cottage, which we weren’t aware of prior to booking. But it was totally worth it. I highly recommend

We loved the view from the house. The house had everything we needed for our stay, even firewood for the fireplace. This was great because it was cold when we visited Taupo.

Een fantastisch verblijf gehad! Een heerlijke plek om tot rust te komen. Er is veel te doen in de omgeving en ligt ook goed kwa winkels etc. We hadden goed contact met de eigenaar en was er behulpzaam. Bedankt voor het verblijf.

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.

El mejor alojamiento en el que hemos estado en Nueva Zelanda 😍 Todo muy limpio, bonito y con todo lo necesario para tener una estancia estupenda. Hay mucho espacio para poder colocar dos maletas grandes sin que molesten, un baño grande y lo mejor es la cocina, con todo tipo de utensilios muy bien cuidados para poder cocinar. Además había muchas opciones para desayunar, todo muy bueno. Pudimos hacer la colada y hay una zona de terraza vallada para el alojamiento, todo muy bonito. Sher y Carty han sido encantadores con nosotros, siempre pendientes de que todo fuese bien, interesándose por nosotros y dándonos recomendaciones. Sin duda un sitio para repetir, hemos salido de allí encantados.

Great place to stay and break up the drive to Wellington with our two dogs and babies.

Comfortable and cosy. Lovely spa pool and fire with firewood and kindling ready to go. Only complaint was the dim lighting in the living area which made reading and board games hard to see. Other than that, we loved it and would recommend to others.

What a beautiful place you have so lucky to be under the mountain! Would love to come back and stay here again in the winter. Thanks again for hosting us, had such an awesome experience. Nice to have the heat pump and fireplace with lots of wood to keep warm on those chilly nights and mornings.
