Luxurious High Country Golf/Ski/Spa Apartment

TamerRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Cherie took care of all our needs and beyond. She was constantly checking in and made us feel right at home. Her lovely Airbnb was a gem in Rakaia that we were lucky to stay at on our trip throughout the southland of New Zealand. We kept talking about how great of a place it was after we left and we definitely aim to come stay here again when we're back in New Zealand. Thank you Cherie! 😊

Travellers Oasis

SusanRating, 5 stars2 days ago
We loved our stay at the Travellers Oasis. The cottage is beautiful, homely, restful and clean. A wonderful setting on the property with an outdoor area overlooking the duck pond. We stayed only one night as we were attending a birthday party just around the corner but now wish we had booked for a few more nights. It was so relaxing and we will be sure to return at some stage. We highly recommend this property and host.

King Cottage

CelinaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
It was a very cosy and warm place to stay in. The environment was very quiet, peaceful, and the mountain scenery was very pleasant to view. The garden is beautiful and well maintained, and Joan helped provide a guide of local restaurants, attractions, hikes etc which was nice. Beds and pillows were comfy and we rested well. The kitchen was fully equipped too.

High Country Farm Cottage

JuanitaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Gorgeous place that was exactly what my whanau and I had hoped for. Prue was a great host. Friendly, helpful, very easy to communicate with and really made us feel welcome. It’s hard to pick just one highlight, but I have to say the waking up to the view and sitting in the hot tub at night under all those stars will be unforgettable. It’s well worth the drive and we would love to stay again. Thank you Prue!

Under the Mountains! 1 bedroom guesthouse

AmyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Hannah's place was perfect for our short stay over in the area. In fact, we wished we had longer! It was perfectly clean, very comfortable and had everything we needed. It's also a quick drive to the nearby town and the surrounding scenery is beautiful. Hannah was also friendly, responsive and very willing to help out with our requests.

Take a Break in the Country - 1 Bedroom Apartment

DebbieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a truly wonderful stay at Tracy's. The accommodation was immaculate with so many extra little touches especially the homemade bread and jam. The kitchen was the best equipped that we've had and Tracy was so helpful with local walks and the surrounding area. Had some lovely walks in Peel Forest and the local views from the house were stunning. Would totally recommend staying here.

Kea Cottage - winter ski base or summer retreat

AliceRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Generous open living space, with plenty of room for all guests. Wonderful for summer opening out onto the deck or in winter around the fire. Main guest bathroom is almost like an ensuite off one of the rooms (which wasnt expected, but not an issue for our group of guests), and all rooms come off the living space.
