House holiday rentals in Central Otago

An absolutely amazing stay that is super cozy. Bath items are provided and we loved the shower gel thay smells really nice. Had slight wifi connection issue for the TV, but Janet was quick to provide clear instructions to resolve it. Highly recommended for family of 4.

Place was perfect for us for a long holiday . The location was perfect and the house had enough space for all of us and for the dogs . Yard was great and loved the privacy and the area. Did not realize how beautiful the place was until we went for walks and explored . So close to the lake and to great swimming spots. Would love to come back.

We loved staying there, great for kids with sporting equipment and big backyard with soccer goals. Highly recommend.

A beautiful home with a truly spectacular view!! It felt so peaceful to sit in front of the fireplace and just look out over the lake. It was more than enough space for the 5 of us to really relax. Hot tub was a great bonus!

Place was great! Was perfect space and modern. Was so great for kids and us. Just a reminder that the key pick up is all the way in town and about ten minutes drive from the house and you have to drop it off

Julianne’s home was perfect for our stay. Situated in a superb location to enjoy all that is special about Wanaka. Fabulous views over Lake Wanaka and the mountains. Magical sunsets. Beautiful surrounds all walkable. Peaceful neighbourhood. A very spacious and comfortable home with everything we needed and more. Thank you Julianne for being a superhost. Very easy to communicate with and clear instructions before arrival much appreciated.

This host was very quick to respond in the property was a very spacious two bed 1.5 bath there was also a very fancy Jacuzzi, which we spent some time in you can get great views from the couch. Also from the Jacuzzi was also a relatively big size pool which in the summer is very nice to cool off in in total, I recommend this place and would stay here one back in Queenstown 10 out of 10.

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

The view from the house is fantastic—you can overlook the lake and the glacier. It is close to Queenstown city. It was definitely an enjoyable stay, and I would recommend it!

Thanks so much Helen & Pete. This place had everything. Of course it had everything you'd expect as per the listing - shampoo, conditioner, tea, coffee... but they've thought of everything you might need - breakfast, condiments for self catering, umbrellas just in case, plus an array of brochures for tourist attractions. So warm & comfortable, and as promised the view are amazing day and night. Thankyou!

Just to add to everyone else, the views are amazing! We had an absolutely wonderful time at Andrew's place earlier this month (June 2025). Very easy to check-in, easy communication leading up to our stay, place was as described. Very clean. Easy to keep warm at night. A welcome gift of a bottle of wine (while we didn't drink it) was very much appreciated and a nice touch. Great location, only 5min drive to downtown area. The property shares a parking pad with 2 other units and the driveway is quite steep. Definitely not a deal breaker, but something to keep in mind. No one else was staying in the other units, but if they were I would consider parking on the street. Absolutely do not let that deter you though. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend Andrew's place.

We absolutely loved the place. The location is just awesome. You get a very good view of lake wakatipu and queenstown area. Highly recommend this place while you are exploring Queenstown.

Sally's place was perfect for us.. The home was comfortable, clean and warm.. Kitchen was good to have with all the amenities.... The hot tub was Gold.. Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains from the home and lots of forest walking/ mtn biking trails close by.. Lake Hawea close by was really nice too.. Sally was helpful with any questions we had including recomending the best route for us to drive up there from Queenstown which was an unreal scenic easy drive to get to the home.. We'd definatley go back and would highly recommend to anyone else considering a stay here...

We had a fantastic stay! The cottage is incredibly well-equipped, and we especially loved the fireplace, which made the evenings warm and cozy. The view is absolutely stunning, probably one of the best lakefront locations on Lake Hawea. The hosts were also very responsive and friendly, always quick to help with any questions. We would love to come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort and amazing scenery!

Jimmy was a very thoughtful and responsive host . The house was very comfortable with stunning views. The setting opposite the lake is beautiful, and a great base for exploring other areas of interest around Queenstown. We’d highly recommend Jimmy’s place.

Unreal place, thanks for having us! Thank you for the hospitality we will be back!

Sarah's place was absolutely perfect for a group weekend away. Really well equipped kitchen, and very comfortable. It was also within a short walk of the town centre and historic Cromwell.

Such a beautiful location and home. If I ever come back I’m staying here again, I’ve already recommended it to all of my travelling friends. It’s close to the vineyards, the extreme activities locations and only 10 min from Queenstown. Really cute local food trucks and such a nice place to stay.

Beautiful view in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Our family had a great time here. The host welcomed us with a bottle of wine. Would stay again for sure.

What an absolutely beautiful place to stay!!! The entire house was so tastefully decorated, especially the kitchen! The house was set in beautiful peaceful gardens and only a short walk to town. It was a cold day when we arrived and our host had lit the fire for us and had left plenty of firewood at the back door for us to use. We remained lovely and warm for the length of our stay. Everything about our stay in this beautiful home was perfect.

We had a wonderful stay! Our hosts were welcoming and responsive to any questions we had. We felt right at home. The property itself is beautiful, thoughtfully designed, clean, and fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare our own meals. It struck the perfect balance: private and peaceful, yet just a short drive or bike ride to some good restaurants. We especially appreciated the little touches that made the space so comfortable. The highlight for my family was Rusty — the hosts’ friendly dog who quickly became a daily companion and source of joy for my child. Watching them play together was such a delight and added an unexpected charm to our visit. This was easily one of our favourite BnB experiences and we would not hesitate to return. Highly recommended for families looking for a restful, well-located getaway with heart.

This is the most striking house in the most beautiful location I have stayed in New Zealand. If you have a big group and are looking for something posh, this is a terrific place. We felt right at home.

A fantastic place to stay!! We had such a wonderful time here. Very relaxing, peaceful and private. The view is spectacular! An easy 10min drive to the centre of Wanaka. Lesley and David were wonderful hosts and have thought of every detail, including ensuring our kitchen supplies were freshly restocked every day. Would highly recommend!

great views. beautiful and spacious place.definitely recommended for families.
