Waterfront holiday rentals in Manawatū-Whanganui

Beautiful modern and clean apartment conveniently located providing privacy and all day sun. The aircon came in handy too. Very well equipped kitchen including condiments, gladwrap etc and various cooking and serveware. Laundry facilities were also well equipped including a laundry basket, pegs and clothes line. Also included board games which the kids loved. Pool was perfect for the summer heat. Beds, blankets and pillows were very comfortable. We will definitely be back.

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay here, so much space and incredible views!! The highlight was definitely the spa looking out to the lake at night. Super convenient having our own garage too!

I didn't stay here personally but my best friend did. She said it was amazing. Clean, tidy, great location. She said Jane went above and beyond. I spoke back n forth with Jane when booking the air bnb and she was super helpful.

We had a great stay at Pam’s house in Taupo. The house was the perfect setup for our family of 4 with plenty of space to holiday in comfort. The house was very modern, clean and spacious - very comfortable beds and equipped with everything you need to holiday away from home. Location was great - easy to get to and from town with just a short car trip away. From the house you can also spend time eating outside in the garden or walking down the steps to the river - great for children. Thank you for the warm welcome and having us stay. A place we will happily book again.

Beautiful, spacious, better than described. The apartment is in a Great location with a beautiful view, close to shops. Easy to find with a lovely host. Well laid out apartment with great amenities. A very comfortable stay. If we could give more than 5 stars we would. Highly recommend.

Lu was so friendly and kind. Met us at the door and assisted us with parking. Beautiful apartment well furnished and decorated. Exceptional quality linens and laundry very crockery.

We had a great weekend staying here, super chilled and easy due to the location. Right on the river, rolled out of the house to the fab market and just walked everywhere. We were all extremely comfortable and loved the modern aesthetic. We’ll be back!

Great place to stay love how close it was to the lake! Would recommend :)

Absolutely beautiful place with a gorgeous view of the river. The house is one of those places that makes you feel instantly at home. Sally is an epic host, super responsive and kind.

Beautiful location. Great house for our two family home holiday. Stayed in April and the heating was lovely. The heated pool was a nice surprise. Plenty of private areas if you needed space. Having access to the walking track by the lake was fantastic. House is starting to need some love but still a very lovely stay.

Great place to stay. It was a shame the plunge pool wasn’t working but communication was good and we were compensated.

Beautiful home right on the lake at Acacia Bay. Very quick and easy communication with the host! Would love to come back and stay, even if just for the wonderful view. Thank you :)

We had a great stay during our NZ trip!

Cindy's whare was the perfect place to host a house of kaumātua. It was clean, pristine, the kitchen had everything to prepare meals. We were thankful for the neighbours too as they reminded us about rubbish/recycling day in and amongst a busy film festival schedule. A beautiful spot.

All I can say is WOW! Gorgeous location and walking distance to town. We were met at the place by Sugar "Sug", who walked us through the entire home AND gave us great ideas about eating, drinking and exercising. There was milk in the fridge and flowers on the table...it truly felt like home! Thanks to all, JT

Hayley’s place was the perfect home away from home! The space was incredibly comfortable, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Being right next to the beach was such a treat. The amenities were top-notch and everything was spotless and thoughtfully set up. Hayley was a wonderful host, making sure we felt welcome and had great sets of instructions for all the equipment. Would absolutely love to stay here again – highly recommend!
