Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Manawatū-Whanganui

We had a great time in Whanganui with lots to do over the school hols. While we weren’t in the house very much, it was comfortable and very well appointed for our group from 11 to 82! The backyard and games room are excellent for families.

We loved the tranquility and peace, and it was a great location near the beach. It's well set up and we loved the secure fences for our two Jack Russells. All in all, a very good choice for a leisurely weekend away from Wellington. It ticked the boxes.

This is one of the best hosts I’ve ever met. We encountered a tricky situation, and the host set off from Auckland at 1 AM to help us. This was my parents’ first trip to New Zealand, and the experience left them with a great impression and deep gratitude. I highly recommend this place—you’ll get an amazing house with convenient access to many attractions.

We had a lovely stay, great location, spacious, house had everything we needed for our 2 week stay. Would definitely come back

This is the quintessential Kiwi bach with a bonus trampoline for the kids and a volleyball net for everyone! We enjoyed the generous outside living space, and there is a covered outside deck for our family dog to stay. The home had everything we needed, was very clean and tidy, and the beds were comfortable. Great location, only a 2-minute drive to the beach, and to the forest for walking and biking tracks. Supermarket is about an 8-minute drive into Foxton.

Fantastic place to stay! The house was super clean and tidy, comfy beds, and everything you needed in the kitchen. Great communication and instructions. The location was perfect with the forest & beach so close. Huge bonus having a fenced section & being able to take our dogs. Highly recommend Hamish’s place.

Great place for families to go too. Beautiful home & lovely surroundings. Would recommend for everyone.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb on the ranch! The peaceful surroundings and beautiful natural scenery made it a perfect getaway. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The host was welcoming and attentive, ensuring our stay was enjoyable. I especially loved waking up to the sounds of nature and having the chance to explore the ranch. The rooms were huge and great for a big family or groups. Highly recommend this unique experience for anyone looking for a tranquil retreat!

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.

We had such a lovely time at the property, thank you. Plenty of space, both indoors and outdoors - nicely decorated and homely. Fantastic heated swimming pool! The kitchen was really well equipped - the coffee machine was excellent. Also really appreciated the aircon on a hot day. Would love to come and stay again sometime, thank you.

Friendly hospitable host. I enjoyed the brief stay. Thank for being so accommodating

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this airbnb. Its a nice blend between being away from the busy city life, yet still situated close enough to access anything you need without a lengthy drive. Hosts were friendly and responsive. Definitely recommend this spot!

Absolutely lovely stay! Our little dog Alfie enjoyed himself and made friends with Cosmo, Bruiser and Dolly. We will be back again :)

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!

This ia a unique place with the conversion of a shearer's quarters. The external access to each room was authentic to its past. The location was private in being on a farm up in the hills but still close enough to the coast or towns if desired. Communication was great and Hannah was flexible to our change of numbers and arrival date. Margot greeted us warmly and then left us to ourselves - perfect.

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.

Loved the house and location... views spectacular. great place for a large group... there were twelve of us and did not feel crowded. close to town and the markets. Better than we expected. Will recommend it to friends and family traveling to Whanganui.

Belinda was a responsive and conscientious host. Everything was well set up for our arrival, including plenty of firewood and a fire guard to keep the kids safe. The place was as described and ideal for our weekend away. She was also friendly and accomodating with our last minute queries and requests. Thank you Belinda!

Jan was friendly and very welcoming. The suite was extremely comfortable and private with many thoughtful features. Highly recommend, would stay here again!

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

We had a beautiful stay at Jan's place. Felt right at home and I was so happy I could bring my dog with me and she loved the place too. Very cosy, private and peaceful. Lovely touch of having some food and drinks provided for us. Thank you for opening your home to us Jan and we really enjoyed our stay :)

The cottage is in beautiful countryside but within easy reach of Havelock North. It is very well equipped and furnished and has a very comfortable bed. We thoroughly recommend it and would like to stay there again on our next trip to see family in NZ

I had a great stay here. The room had everything we needed and the bathroom was big and clean. They also have cute and friendly cats.We had a very comfortable sleep.

Great place to stay, have stayed here many times in the past and will continue to do so. Great host as well!
