House holiday rentals in New Zealand

Mark’s AirBnB is an experience rather than a stay. Is a combination of coastal rural Nz right on the doorstep (short boat ride away) from a bustling town Raglan where there are 5 star restaurants, super markets and everything you would need or expect. And the accomodation itself is nestled on a cliff top with 180 views of the harbour and if Raglan. Private, the feeling of seclusion and neighbour free - the best of both worlds made better by a host that balances your needs with respectful distance. Make a pizza in the wood fired oven and then warm your bones in the spa boat and arching the harbour u til the sun melts away listening to birds evening song. We can’t wait to head back and hopefully catch the big uncle of the 12 lb snapper we caught in the raglan harbour!!! Outstanding place.

Kath and Steve gave us a warm welcome when we arrived and made us feel at home. The place was very comfortable and well stocked. The location is beautiful! All good. We'd love to come back.

A beautiful view from every room and a heated pool was great in winter! I had a birthday party here and all my guests enjoyed their stay.

Great position on Fernhill overlooking the lake and the Remarkables. Very cozy and comfortable studio. The hot tub was a great experience after a day out. I definitely recommend Clint and Anitas place here in Queenstown.

stunning surroundings, very private and relaxing Joe was amazing showed us around and allowed some extra visitors to visit appreciate them having us at such short notice.

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!

Kay’s cottage is gorgeous, looks exactly as the pictures do. The surroundings are something else and having access to the kayaks, paddle boards and dingy were a great assets. We arrived on a stunning Autumn day and go out onto the ocean right away.. Three bedroom are all close together upstairs and downstairs was a cosy open plan kitchen dining lounge area. The road there isn’t for the faint of heart but when you get there it’s very much worth it!! We wish we stayed longer.

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.

Our stay was beautiful - the accommodation and the views were absolutely perfect! Thank you for having us!

Our stay was simply perfect - the hosts were overwhelmingly kind and welcoming, the place was clean and beautiful, the included breakfast was delicious, and the view from the suite was spectacular. The hosts provided excellent suggestions for meals and destinations - thanks to them it was easy for us to get around and enjoy all that Queenstown and its surrounds had to offer.

Absolutely wonderful. We felt very welcomed and at home the minute we'd walked in. Beautiful house and surroundings. Very well equipped kitchen. Our kids didn't want to leave.

Lovely place - private, spacious and well furnished. It had a fire place, which provided heat in the living area but was not sufficient to warm the rooms. And it was the start of winter so it was cold. Thankfully she provided 4 layers of blankets, and a super heated water tank.

Fantastic stay in beautiful surroundings. The house is really relaxing with plenty of space for everyone. Great dining options inside or outside to enjoy the weather and views. Being able to see the stars from bed was magical. Would thoroughly recommend. To top everything off we saw dolphins from the beach on our last morning.

Sky House was perfect – stunning views, peaceful and homely. Spotlessly clean with everything we needed. Ideal for families, close to nature walks and beautiful bays. A serene escape from the hustle and bustle. The sunsets were unforgettable. Truly a magical spot we’ll definitely be back.

Lovely little space to stay! They’ve added really nice things to feel comfortable

The most beautiful retreat amongst singing birds, nature, gardens and the river. We loved every minute of our stay especially the log burner and delicious ambience. Loveday has very tastefully furnished the house with style and nothings been missed. We were there when it was very cold and so we spent time reading books, and chilling - which we never seem to do at home! Both hosts were welcoming and delightful and gave us privacy while also stocking us up with wood for the fire. We will be back and can't wait to experience heaven once more! Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with us and it was wonderful to meet you! Sue and Lucy

Absolutely loved our stay here - it's a stunning place with everything you need and amazing views! it's just a little walk down to the beach, or a 10 minute drive to driving creek railway which is well worth a visit when you're in the area. Judith was lovely and very clear with her instructions. Would definitely stay here again!

The place was simply amazing with amazing views. It was well maintained and it had fully functional kitchen.

Amazing place and amazing host!! thank you!

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 an incredible stay at the Lake House! Jody and Barney have done an amazing job including extra special touches that make this stay remarkable in a truly beautiful part of the world. Jody was great for local suggestions and helped organise a birthday cake for my husband prior to our arrival. Unfortunately the guests before us were inconsiderate of the off-grid setup and did not adhere to the house rules and we arrived with no power or running water. Jody went out of her way to correct this, supplying additional amenities, a meal voucher and crediting us some of the night fee while a generator helped to restore power overnight. Thank you for sharing this beautiful space! We hope to be back one day.

This crib is all about the view which is clearly spectacular. No other reviews have referenced the property’s layout which I will do here - not as a criticism, but as an observation so that folks can take same into consideration. The property has 2 bedrooms - however they are effectively joined (wth a small ante room in between) meaning that the second bedroom can only be accessed via the first bedroom. This arrangement is certainly noted in the property description; however it’s not apparent from the photos. Folks may need to take this arrangement into account, depending on who they’re sharing with, noting that the occupant of the second bedroom needs to pass through the first bedroom to access the bathroom. My sister and I very much enjoyed our stay & everything the property and surrounds had to offer! Thanks Fiona!

Rachael's place was just perfect for our short break in Piha. Beautiful views, quiet, equipped with everything you need furing the short and long stays. if we ever come back to the area, we would definitely stay again 😄 greetings to the great host!

Excellent communication and a comfortable stay, would stay again! 🙂
