Brookhaven cottage with Luxury Outdoor Tub
We stayed here prior to a cruise on Doubtful Sound. Very comfortable rural setting on a farm for two couples. A dozen farm eggs for us in the fridge, making for a nice meal of omelets, combined with some extras purchased at nearby Four Square. Plenty of cereals and yogurt. Highly recommended.

THE BLACK HOUSE with Stunning Views & Outdoor Bath
Loved our stay. The Black House was cozy, comfortable and warm. The perfect spot for us to relax and unwind. Close to the lakefront but away from the bustle. The outdoor tub was a great ammenity. Beds were super comfortable and the house was spotless. The fire made a cold rainy evening cozy and relaxing. The host provided heaps of useful information and recommendations. Highly recommend!!

Arches Studio . Hot tub. No Cleaning fee
Was awesome staying here, exactly what we needed. Thank you very much for having us. Great hosts.

The Lakehouse Queenstown - Absolute Lakefront
The house has a spectacular aspect overlooking the lake. It is beautifully styled, fresh and clean. There is direct access to the gravel path into town, and beyond that, access to the lake and a jetty. Our group of ten included children who loved playing on the foreshore. The bedroom layout suited our group and most bedrooms had a lake view. Kitchen was very well fitted out. The house was a short drive into town, or a half hour walk (more with kids). We loved our stay and would happily return.

Cedar- magnificent view, private outdoor bath
Gorgeous view, loved the outdoor bath - an experience! Great facilities for travelling like access to a washing machine and dryer. Good recommendations for places to eat and for taxis. Peaceful location and the lift was fun!

Hot Tub - Huge Lake Views- Super-king beds
Great spot in Queenstown with beautiful views. Hot tub was definitely a bonus and was great with the chilly weather we had. Good walkability, though there is a steep hill to climb heading to and from town. Overall great place

Modern & Private + hot tub. Peak View lodge-
We absolutely loved every aspect of our stay. The home was very comfortable and tastefully decorated, kitchen was well equipped and the views were fabulous.

Windsor Lodge - Alpine Luxury for large groups
Faultless is the only way to describe this house! We travelled as a group of friends so it was important to have our own comfortable bedrooms, adequate bathrooms but also communal spaces. The house was immaculate but also had lots of nice touches in every room to make it feel like the home you wish was yours! The house is well suited to cater for a big group with well stocked kitchen, lots of towels and plenty of space in living/dining for a big group to spread out. The location was breathtaking - clean, clear and quiet but a short walk downhill to town (20mins) and a short uber back uphill ($12)! This is definitely the best AirBnB that we have stayed at and hope to be back one day!

Creagh Cottage, mountain getaway
Photos don’t do the view justice. Jeremy was a great host. This is a cabin type experience. We stayed in the winter and used the cottage as a home base for skiing and other activities which was great. Quick ride over to Arrowtown and Queenstown but far away enough to feel private and peaceful. Some important points regarding previous reviews I read about the place being “cold”…the ground floor is all slate stone…as Jeremy recommended, just bring some sandals or slippers to wear around. There is a large heat pump, a lovely pot belly stove, and space heaters and all the beds have blanket heaters which we actually didn’t use because they were too hot…so it’s easy to stay warm and the view and coziness are well worth it, but if you’re expecting a thermostat in a hotel room that you set and leave…this wouldn’t be the place for you. We loved our stay and the host was very responsive.

The Pines Guesthouse - new re-list
WOW. What a beautiful stay. We’ve stayed at many Airbnbs on our journey across NZ and Stu’s was one of the best. Not only is it super unique, it has amazing views, feels private, and has everything you need. It feels luxurious and there is an eye for the details. The back patio was especially lovely. Bonus points for having Netflix that we didn’t have to sign into ourselves. It’s nice to be out of the hustle and bustle of Queenstown, but still be close to a lot of the wineries. We didn’t an all-day wine tour that picked us up there no problem. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We wish we could’ve admired the view even longer!

Highland Apartment Wanaka
Check in is easy, spacious apartment, although sofabed is not the most comfortable (as the description), i did slept very well on it. located within the wanaka town. However there are some half eaten chocolate in the chocolate jar and a frozen chocolate milk in the fridge? Maybe it is leftover that have been left by previous guest. So cleanliness on that part might need to be improved, other than that everything was perfect.

Cabbage tree cottage
was lucky to find here. A wee overnight stay to break my trip. Handy to Wanaka. Small, comfortable, clean, and warm...just what i wanted

Takapō Escape | Lake Tekapo
very stunning views, lots of activities, near city centre, it has a pingpong table which we use often and it has a golf course next to the housing area

Lakeview Lodge Two with Stunning Views
Loved the place with great view of the lake. Pete our host was very helpful.

Bo's Bach: Warm, sunny, town centre , mtn view.
Great house. Clean, light, cozy and very well stocked. Location is central and walkable to everything yet tucked away from the main road. Great view of the mountains. The hosts are fantastic and very communicable.

Large guest wing , fully private two bedroom
Lovely place; very spacious for two people and set in a beautiful garden visited by a wild peahen. We enjoyed the visits from their sweet dog and cat too. Conveniently located to Dunedin, grocery shopping and nearby beaches.

Mountain View House
Fantastic stay at Paula’s house. Great home for our family and had everything we needed. Local Bakery and Four Square just down the road. Added bonus that we got to use the Community pool, it’s a great set up for families. The weather was perfect and we got to use the pool everyday. Would highly recommend staying here

Warren St House
This is an excellent location and spacious property. Would happily stay here again.

Spectacular Views- Family Home
The house is in a really nice spot with a beautiful view. Lots of interesting items in the house and access to a pool and spa just down the road. Lucinda was easy to communicate with and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks

The Lakehouse - Hawea - A Haven for Family Groups
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The kids played endlessly in the back yard and pool as well as at the park across the street. We enjoyed playing pool in the game room and walking to the nearby beach and trails. The house is not in the best of maintenance (worn out carpet, door knows that don’t quite work, etc), but these were not show stoppers for us. No regrets for picking this place, if you have a big group and are looking for a great location, some extra space, and a cabin-like feel, this fits the bill.

Arrowfield Family Apartments
We had an amazing stay here in Arrowtown. Modern, easy parking, outside area and a handy walk to town. Exactly as described and Scott was a wonderful Host. We hope to see you again soon! Thanks

Charming Cardrona Alpine Villa
Fantastic location, clean and tidy. Lovely and warm on cooler evenings. So handy being 2 minutes walk to the Cadrona pub for dinner.

Cardrona (19) - NZ's Skiing Hotspot!!!
Nice and tidy, great location. Would stay again.

Quiet, Sunny Modern Home - Renovated & Extended
We had a wonderful stay at Tracy's home! Upon arrival, we were in awe of the modern property and beautiful surroundings. There was a blend of rain and sun during our stay, so we took advantage of every space. The home's interior is both contemporary and comfortable, with a sitting room and living room on one end and bedrooms and bathrooms on the other. A great layout. The outdoor space is generous, with a large deck, roomy seating area, and excellent pool to take in the mountain views. If you're lucky, you'll get a visit from the adorable neighborhood cat. This home was in a great central location for all of our activities – close to the action, yet far enough away for peace and seclusion. We hope to return someday!
