Thank you for a wonderful stay. We had such a great time at your place. It is so beautiful and peaceful right on the water. We loved bird watching from the deck!

Fox Cottage

JosephRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We made a huge mistake when only booking this place for part of our stay. My thought was to jump around the South Island with my family at a couple stops. Had I known it was this awesome, then I would’ve booked our whole time at Anna’s. This place is exactly what my family loves. The kids will definitely be complaining about where we stay next. This property is AWESOME.

Te awa Lodge Riverside retreat

EmilyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We absolutely adored staying at Te Awa Lodge on our recent trip to Wanaka. It was a gorgeous riverside home with an amazing hot tub and sauna, which we loved using after our hikes. Graeme and Carolyn were such warm, welcoming hosts and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The property is easily accessible to Wanaka (10-15 min) and Mount Aspiring (1 hour) . Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

Lakeside Haven

JaniceRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Great place great location. The only thing is the entrance is a bit difficult to spot what makes it worse is that it’s at around the cornering where car going quite fast and at night it’s very dark! Overall we had a great time staying at the place! Kids enjoyed the ping pong 🏓 that’s the bonus

Relax on Snowy Place.

KristenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Absolutely stunning!!! From stepping into this beautiful space we were welcomed to peaceful music and a warm space to invite us in. We were in awe of the view and spent most of the afternoon sitting with a cuppa and looking out. The beds were very comfortable and warm and the shower was also excellent. Would definitely stay again and would highly recommend to anyone.

Lakefront Tranquility Central Otago

JoanneRating, 5 stars1 week ago
A lovely house to base yourself in Central Otago. Spotless and spacious and very toasty warm in the colder weather. Keiran was easy to communicate with and helpful operating instructions for the appliances were on hand. Plenty of room and although not required by us was good to see a cot and highchair for those with small families.

Pukaki Lakeside House - Fantastic Views

DiRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This is the place brings you peaceful mind. Will definitely bring back my parents here next time. It's so quiet and private that you can only hear the birds chirping. It's like the real-life ASMR that can calm you down. I really like all the facilities that keep guests stay warm. For example, the cap in the shower room, heating pad for every bed, and aircon is also available. Also we had several animal visitors like bunnies and a cat. Very nice and cute.

Luxe at the Lake Mangawhai

MyleneRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We love the place, it was what it looks like on the photos. Just looking at the view outside the house is amazing and the house is spectacular in all aspects. Perfect for this time of Easter where we dont do anything and just bond with the family and be at peace with nature. Terri was very responsive to my text. Our communication was seamless. Would highly recommend this place to my friend and family.

Genuine Lakeside 1 Bedroom Suite "Lakeside Gem"

ThereseRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Now this is a real lakefront property! We walked in and were greeted by the stunning view and a squeaky clean place that is also very homey. All the basics you’ll need in kitchen/bathroom/home are available too. It’s truly a gem and I think we’ll be a regular here now that this place has set the bar higher. The communication with Ash and the team was seamless too which made our stay even more comfortable. Just in case you are very particular when it comes to using airbnb’s washing machine like me, this one passes the test - it’s as clean as I have at home and you won’t think twice about using it. 😅

Glamorous Glentui Queenstown

PaulRating, 5 stars1 month ago
非常令人滿意的體驗. Ashley及Belén很親切. 廚房設備完善,室內乾淨整齊,還有智能通風系統.停車方便.週邊環境清幽,非常建議來Queenstown 不喜歡市區吵雜的人居住,要去Glenorchy 騎馬也比較近.期待下次有機會再來體驗! A very satisfying experience. Ashley and Belén are very friendly. The kitchen is well-equipped, the interior is clean and tidy, and there is an intelligent ventilation system. Parking is convenient. The surrounding environment is quiet. It is highly recommended for people who come to Queenstown and don't like the noise of the city. It is also relatively close to Glenorchy for horse riding. I look forward to having the opportunity to experience it again!

It’s such a comfortable and cozy place at a very convenient location! Kirsty is an amazing host! She replied to our messages promptly and even turned on the lights for us as we arrived at night. We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely come back when we visit Queenstown again! Thank you so much Kirsty!

Addictive View

DavidRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Barbara and Tim were top-notch hosts! They went out of their way to locate a shop which offered an activity we were looking to do, always responded to my messages promptly and proactively offered help and checked in on us to make sure we were comfortable without being intrusive. The unit is pristine, completely furnished with all the features one could want (kitchen and red wine glasses were AWESOME) and is easily accessible from the road and within the property. Throw in a million dollar view from the property and this is one of the best stays you could hope to find.

I loved this cottage. I felt right at home. I liked the extra touches of fruit and cereal along with a great shower. I enjoyed being close to the lake for an evening walk. I would definitely stay again.

Snowshoe Cottage

BredaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Clare’s place was fantastic. So so well appointed with everything you could possibly need - it was so well considered. The location was stunning and perfect for a chilled cosy weekend in front of the log burner. Instructions for check in and the house itself were super easy to follow and Clare was brilliant for communication. Highly recommend adding on the spa pool for a relaxing soak overlooking a gorgeous view.

St Elmo's Farm Cottage

Beautifully kept farm home in pristine country side. Close enough to surrounding towns to enjoy their amenities. We were graced with snow fall for the duration of our stay which made the home even more cosy to be in.

Kowhai Cottages - Rustic Charm & Stargazing Oasis

JemmaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at the cottage. It was so cosy and everything had been thought of - comfortable bed, skylight for stargazing, outdoor bath and even slippers. We appreciated all the baby items that were set up and the toys and books. It’s in a great location and a short drive to so many great walks and scenic spots. Thank you Sean & Jana for creating such a special place.

Bach 63: Stunning Lake Views!

JoyceRating, 5 stars2 days ago
The view was beautiful and ever changing. We must have taken 30 photos from the one spot of the differing conditions. We were happy living in. Bach 63 had everything we needed, lots of linen, coffee etc. We were still finding things on the last day, a therapeutic hot pack. . We loved our stay in Bach 63. . Thank you Lisa, well done.

High Country Cottage - Glenorchy home with a view

Kristine DrewRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Absolutely fabulous place. Photos don’t do it justice. The views are amazing. Quiet but walkable location. Very well stocked. The only thing missing were screens on the windows and sliders. I got eaten by sandflies and a white tail spider. Wear deet even (or especially) while sleeping.
