Chalets in Manawatū-Whanganui

The warmth and snugness from the wood stove and great selection of books made it a great place to stay even in bad weather. Comfortable beds and duvets but I found the single bed mattresses too firm for me

Great house, great location and we had a really good time, thanks Anna!

We had a great weekend at Steph’s house. 100% recommended

Such a beautiful home with lots of character. Perfect spot for a few families and lots of room for the kids to run around outside. We loved our stay and will be back hopefully next snow season 😊

Loved my stay at Keith’s. It was warm and inviting felt like home. It has everything you could need and is set in a beautiful place with views of the mountain. Highly recommend.

Nous avons passé un merveilleux moment dans cette immense maison, idéale pour un séjour en famille . La vue est exceptionnelle, aussi bien depuis l’intérieur que l’extérieur, avec le lac en toile de fond et de nombreux oiseaux à observer. Le calme est total, c’est vraiment reposant. Tout est parfaitement fonctionnel : nous avons testé le jacuzzi, le wifi, la cheminée et le barbecue, tout était top. Annie est très gentille et attentionnée ; elle avait même préparé la cheminée pour que nous puissions en profiter dès notre arrivée. Nous recommandons ce lieu les yeux fermés à tous ceux qui cherchent un cadre paisible et confortable pour se ressourcer.

Easy flexible check-in, and beautiful view of lake Taupo. Loved all the windows letting all the natural light in.

Beautiful Destination, the host was so kind & welcoming. Lovely homes, set on the lake. Beautiful, clean rooms! we will definitely be coming back one day! Thanks to the incredible crew at the retreat!

Love the retreat. The hosts were extremely kind & accomodating and the house was absolutely beautifully clean. It’s a bonus we could take our dogs, they loved the lake!

The Retreat was absolutely perfect for our stay in Taupo! Sparkling clean, super comfortable beds and stunning views of the lake from every window, sitting out on the balcony for breakfast was a delight. Annie was an amazing host, super friendly and helpful! Would love to stay again if we return to New Zealand 💙

We had a fabulous stay at The Retreat on our way through to Wellington. We really appreciated being able to have our small dog stay with us and the place was stunning. Beautiful views, gorgeous gardens and spotless inside. Last minute booking and no problems with checking in late via the lockbox. Annie was super friendly and the vibe was calm and peaceful. Can highly recommend!

Good clean property which is close to the city center - a short 5 mins drive. Having your own vehicle is recommended. The place is fully equipped and great for a group of 3-5 people.
