Houten huisjes in Manawatū-Whanganui

Had a lovely stay at Kim’s cabin. Enjoyed the garden, the bath, the random books selection as well. Everything was clean and very cute. Love the small attentions too. Waked to the recommended cafe which was really nice. The Otaki Beach market was nice for a stroll on Sunday morning. Lots of places to see in the area! Thank you Kim!

We loved it. Very cozy, warm, clean and nice.

This electric little gem is exactly what it says it is. We loved our overnight stay here. The hot spring tub in the garden was blissful. The cooking and sleeping facilities had everything we needed. The walk around the nearby hot springs was a fascinating, low key walk around boiling mud and steam vents. A far cry from touristy Rotarua. We feel very lucky to have found this peaceful retreat.

Great base to do the crossing from. Spa pool was a wonderful touch. Even though there are neighbouring cabins/cottages it doesn’t feel crowded or too busy. Would definitely stay again. Thanks!

This really is a unique retreat! It was an amazing short getaway where we were able to relax in a truly beautiful place. I loved how cosy the cottage was and stepping outside in the evening under a moonlight sky and solar lights was truly magical! So pleased we booked this place!

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.

We stayed here for a couple of nights as a base to do the Tongariro crossing. Good space with a full kitchen and comfy furniture. National park is not very big so it's a 2 minute walk to the bar/restaurant/shop. Great base for activities. highly recommend.

We stayed two night with my wife and our 5 months old daughter at Cara’s place, we had a very nice time. The house is well located with an amazing view on the lake. The house is well equipped and very confortable. We would definitely recommend staying there!

Great host, very welcoming and hospitable. Great comfort and amazing communal area

This is a great spot. Very quiet and relaxing. Tony as a great host. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

A great place to stay in National Park! It was homey, comfortable, and removed from the rest of the town enough to feel some separation, but close enough to walk anywhere. If you are looking to hike or ski in or around Tongariro, this is a great place to do it from.

Paula was incredibly responsive and accommodating during our stay. The cabin exceeded our expectations, looking even better than the photos. Hearing the story of how they built it themselves added a special touch. It’s an ideal spot to unwind and recharge. Just a heads up, a SUV or Ute is recommended for the rocky track leading to the cabin. Overall, it’s a fantastic place! Thank you for hosting us!

Excellent accomodation and host. Everything was clean, with little extras like a selection of spreads for breakfast and milk appreciated.

We had an amazing time at Delly’s place! The cabin was beautiful and extremely clean with a great view of the countryside. Delly herself was a wonderful host and it was lovely meeting her daughter and their little goat! We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Kirsty’s place was exactly what we needed for our trip away. Kirsty was lovely and was so helpful and presented Rakau’s Rest very well. We enjoyed chatting with her and she made us so welcome. Highly recommended if you need somewhere to stay and relax for a few days away from it all.

Awesome stay! Great location and great view of the Mt

Thanks for Hosting us. The house is clean and tidy. located in a relaxing and private area. The host Fiona was really easy to deal with and explained everything well. She is very responsive to messages. I would highly recommend this place.

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
