We had an amazing weekend staying at Manawa. A beautiful luxurious home so thoughtfully designed and decorated. Spacious living areas and kitchen. Gorgeous bathrooms and very comfortable bedrooms with breathtaking views. The perfect retreat from busy city life. The crystal clear lake was amazing, we spent hours swimming and paddleboarding, allowing us to connect with nature and make cherished memories. We left Manawa with our hearts full, feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. Truly a magical place.

This home is incredible. It's in a stunning and peaceful location that is completely yours' to enjoy. Having front access to the water is second to none and the water is gorgeous! The house itself is luxurious! I can't say enough about our stay and the communication with the owners was exceptional. Highly recommend. I so hope we can return! A definite favourite across the North Island. Thank you so much!

This is an amazing home to stay in. The house is beautifully presented in an amazing location. It is very well equipped and organised. The hosts are great people and easy to deal with. I thoroughly recommend this home to anyone (but please don't book it up every summer - as we want to stay again!!!!).
