Guesthouse holiday rentals in Lake Wakatipu

Stu’s guesthouse was a lovely getaway in New Zealand! Close to Queenstown, ZQN airport, and to many outdoor activities. Very peaceful and private, soft linens, and felt right at home. It’s clear that this is not a cookie cutter Airbnb, but a real guesthouse, and it shows in the fit and finish of the property, and Stu’s helpful and kind approach to hosting. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

lake beside the house worth to walk

Awesome walking location to all Arrowtown main st . Spa was well received after golf and biking activities . Outdoor lounge is great under cover for summer rains and comfy. Everything you need here . We loved it .

This was a perfect stay, convenient right across the bus stop and Foursquare. I felt so at home and so welcome. Arrowtown is a real hidden gem and it was a manageable walking distance into town to explore further. Great suggestions in the compendium, comfortable and warm bed and the heat pump was a bonus, although I didn’t need it much with the lovely sunny few days. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

Nice view, I really wish we could say here for longer. the place is close to the town and petrol station. Convenience.

We had a lovely and comfortable stay, the view was spectacular. The place was clean and the kitchen is very well equipped. David was very responsive and helpful, gave us clear check in instructions.

Amazing house, amazing hosts, cool animals which you can feed! Setting is absolutely stunning, close enough to Queenstown but remote enough to feel the serene landscape, amazing night sky's too. Hosts went above and beyond and did everything with a smile. Great spot!!

We had a wonderful time at the orchard cottage! We felt at home right away in the peaceful and cozy surroundings. Jane was a great host and provided lots of recommendations for things to do. We enjoyed being close to Queenstown and the airport for quick access, but far enough away to avoid the crowds.

If you want a sweet Homestay outside of Queenstown and with a magnificent view, this is your place. Well equipped and super comfy Bed. Can be a bit chilly in winter.

Don's place was perfect for a few night's stay. It is well furnished with everything we needed, such as a full kitchen and washing machine/dryer. We especially appreciated coming to a home that can be heated well during the cold winter. The place was located in a quiet neighbourhood that's only about 10 mins to town!

This is a very new one bedroom apartment separated off from a house in a residential neighborhood about 15 minutes driving time from Queenstown. The space is very comfortable and the views from the area are really special. Emma and Paul were very proactive and caring, helping me with several issues that arose during my stay. The bed is very nice and the shower was great. Guests should know that as of 2025 Emma has an infant, so from time to time you can hear crying or playing inside the apartment. It's not bad, but you should have earplugs if you think that might bother you.

This place was very cozy and had the best landscapes! It had everything you could ever need. While staying here we experienced a power cut however Delane was very kind and accommodating to our needs! We will 100% be staying here next time we are in Queenstown.

awesome place and location.

Thank you Steph for such a beautiful stay. The photos did not do the room justice, it was impeccably clean with everything you could need for your stay. We appreciated the heat hump, heated towel rack and floors for our winter stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Steph’s place again.

great place in a quiet location. would definitely stay there again.

Gail and Peter were fantastic hosts. Parking and accessing the property was easy and all the information we needed was provided to us. The place was clean, tidy and very welcoming. Would 100% recommend a stay here :)

Our stay at Mei's place was great. Very comfortable and cosy and has everything you need, with a fully equipped kitchen. There were 5 of us, 3 adults and 2 kids, and felt quite comfortable. The accommodation was exactly as shown and nice and clean. The wifi was good which was really helpful for work purposes. We also really enjoyed the fire pit. Would definitely recommend it.

Loved the rustic cabin. You can't beat the quiet and beautiful surroundings. If you are ok with a little bit of a drive into town and willing to exchange that for a beautiful sunrise and seclusion with your host just a short walk away, this is for you.

The Carriagehouse is a perfect spot to stay if you prefer to stay out of the downtown Queenstown bustle but still be close to all the local attractions. The house is spotless, well equipped and best of all has amazing views across the mountains. Walking paths around Jack's Point make for a relaxing way to take in the scenery.

While we only had two nights in Queenstown, Ben & Chloe’s place was perfect for our stay. The views were spectacular and the studio was super comfortable and had everything we needed. Having a washer and dryer made all the difference after being on the road for a few days too. Would definitely return for any future stays in Queenstown.

This place is really nice. Chin was very helpful show us where things are.10/10

Great place in a quiet & convenient location. Very neat and clean house, close to the airport & city. highly recommended to all. Charmila is an amazing host, we needed some food for our toddler and she was really helpful to lend us from her kitchen. thankyou so much

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this rental accommodation just a short walk from Queenstown! The location couldn’t have been better—close enough to enjoy a leisurely stroll into town yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and serene. The views were breathtaking, with stunning vistas of the lake that we couldn’t get enough of. The property itself was immaculate. It was clear the hosts take great pride in maintaining a spotless environment, which made our stay all the more comfortable. What truly stood out were the thoughtful daily amenities—fresh bread, delicious cakes, and other treats that added a delightful touch to our mornings. It was these small yet meaningful details that made us feel so welcome. The combination of unbeatable location, outstanding hospitality, and those mesmerizing lake views made this an unforgettable experience. We wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting Queenstown and will certainly return on our next trip!

Everything was exceptional at Jaimee's: it is quiet, clean, modern (with a super-comfy bed!) and Jaimee is an excellent communicator. The unit is very well laid out and provides an ideal launching point for activities in the area. It was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of central Queenstown and the view was great. I don't hesitate to recomend Jaimee's place to others visiting Queenstown and the surrounding area.
