Motupōhue Base Holiday Home - 2 bedroom House
Lovely renovated house with a decent sized yard, fully fenced (albeit one gap so if you have small dogs, you most definitely need to supervise them) and within walking distance to cafes, restaurants and Four Square. Wifi details are on the fridge (ignore the details on this app). Christine was lovely and quick to respond. Great place to stay to explore the Deep South of NZ!

Kakanui Surf Bach
This is a quintessential family batch, it oozes love out of every corner. Every thing you need is there, we are always very prepared but if you are not like us then you will find the basics accounted for. The view is just amazing, you could just spend the day watching the surfers and walkers on the beach, the weather change or just the waves roll in. Easy walk to the beach and a car ride or 40min walk to the cafe/dairy. The best part for us is being dog friendly, be mindful that it is not fenced for doggies so you have to watch them, ours is like Velcro so had no issues. I would totally recommend if you need to find a place to decompress and enjoy a holiday home that has roots deep set in family.

Cute coastal crib with stunning ocean view
Bull Creek is an absolutely lovely spot. Quiet and remote with lovely bush and beach walks. The neighbours were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Walking in the nearby bush being deafened by the bellbirds a definite highlight. Views from the house of the sea was spectacular and the coastal walks and seeing the seals and lots of birds was another highlight. All of us agreed that we would love to stay again.

Character Harbour Retreat
Beautiful view, great location. Intentionally booked because of the step free access which continued throughout the house. Would highly recommend.

Your Broad Bay Waterfront Home
Beautiful views and great location made this an ideal Airbnb , well suited to our group of four. It’s conveniently located near the Royal Albatross Centre, where we got great views of the Albatross community and the return of the blue penguins after dark. We also enjoyed looking at the artwork in the house.

The Lazy Oar Beach House
Awesome place. Right on the coast and a short walk to an epic beach spot. The house is older, but is perfect for a group of people, with a nice big lounge and communal area, a great big lawn and balcony, and a well-equipped kitchen. The host was very accommodating. Would highly recommend for a group trip away.

Lakefront Oasis
We loved our stay! Short 10 min drive to the city, 7 minutes to the Frankton grocery store. The kitchen has everything you need for home cooking, and good quality supplies at that. Their carbon steel pan is the best pan I’ve ever used in my life…. I am buying one as soon as we get home. The view of the lake is stunning, and the host was very communicative. 10/10 would highly recommend!

TUCKERS REST in Bluff Bed & Breakfast with Wifi
Gloria was an exceptional host. She was kind, thoughtful, communicative and friendly. The area was also really nice with a great view and loads of Tui around to sing you a song. I would highly recommend this place if you're staying in Bluff!

The Garden room
This studio was comfortable to stay at. Everything was very clean. We had a little terrace facing the garden. We would stay here again.

Beachfront Hector’s House in Curio Bay
We had an amazing couple of nights here…fantastic location with the beach at the doorstep and an easy walk to the petrified forest. If you’re looking for a relaxed, honest place to recharge away from it all then this is the place. Wish we’d stayed longer…

RUA at Bluff. (Studio 2)
Great place to stay and was exactly what was needing while working in the area.

Tiroroa - our barn with an ‘extensive view’
We picked the place for the chance of minimum light pollution to admire the starry sky and it didn’t disappoint us. This place is so remote, it’s such a charm in case you just need to go “away” for some time. Being a perfect hangout for kicking back and daze off, it is not too far away from many interesting trails. The three alpacas are absolutely adorable.

Taieri Mouth Beach Retreat 30 minutes from Dunedin
WOW, what a beautiful, peaceful place. We have stayed at some really great Airbnb’s in NZ but this is our favorite so far. Absolutely stunning scenery, sense of privacy & peacefulness. What a magical 4 nights, thanks so much.

The Spruce Hus, Studio by the Lake.
A fantastic place to stay, exactly as described, perfectly clean, very well setup and we loved the homemade bread! Nice quiet neighbour hood, safe on street parking right outside the unit. Recommend taking the Queenstown water taxi into town, has a stop a short walk/drive away, takes you right into town, no need to find expensive parking! We would definitely stay here again.

QUEENSTOWN ON THE LAKE - your view
Karen's apartment is amazing, the perfect stay for Queenstown. We highly recommend! We look forward to staying again!

Traditional kiwi Bach Jacks bay
We had an incredible stay at Jacks Bay. The crib was perfect for our needs and the location was very special indeed. It’s basic but cosy and clean.

‘Lakeside’ Absolute Waterfront House with jetty
Great amazing house! Every room has a beautiful view!! Lovely host too 😊

Lakefront, amazing views, spa & 5 min walk to town
we had an excellent stay at the Bay House. everything is as pictured— beautiful furnishings, spacious, super clean, uncluttered. the location also cannot be beat with the lake just across the road and an easy walk into town. there was plenty of room for the three of us, the kitchen was well equipped and the washer/dryer came in handy after going on rainy/muddy hikes. it was rainy a few days during our visit to Queenstown but we did not mind spending time indoors at this home playing board games and reading. highly highly recommend!

The River House Wanaka
We had the most amazing time at the River House. The house is fantastic, perfect amenities and right on the river. Jo was a fantastic communicator so helpful with any questions we had and we greatly appreciated Ken ensuring we had enough firewood. We had a lovely time and we were so sad to leave. Thanks Jo and Ken for your amazing hospitality.

Lucky #8 Penthouse
Charlie and Rob's place is absolutely amazing. For the 6 of us it was perfect. The house was beautiful and the views from the main bedroom, lounge area and dining table were breath taking. What a spot! The house had everything you need. The hosts Charlie and Rob were amazing as we had a small problem. They were so helpful and very kind in getting it seen to immediately. I would recommend their place any day. Thank you for allowing my family to share your house. Waking up in morning to those views is just WOW! Wanda

Queenstown Lakehouse/Private Beach
Firstly let us say everything about this property is simply stunning, the space, the views, the location and did I mention the views.. As hosts, Kelly and Chris were so responsive and helpful. We would hope to return at some time, unfortunately while we were there our stay was impacted with noise from an adjacent property hosting a wedding. We reported this to Chris and Kelly who intend to take the matter further. This does not impact our desire to return nor does it affect the five star review this property deserves.

That Wanaka Tree House - BEST Lake Front Location
This is a fantastic place to stay in Wanaka. The house is huge with lots of "breakout" areas when multiple families are travelling together. The location is a 10-15 min stroll from shops and restaurants. The Wanaka Tree is a 1 minute walk from the back door. We loved sitting outside with a morning coffee watching the sun rise over the lake.

Tahuna Lakeside | 3 min walk to town | Waterfront
Celebrating my 60th birthday in Queenstown was fabulous, and part of its success was staying in this five bedroom house in such an amazing position. This being my first visit to ZQN, I was unaware how lucky I was to chance on this amazing home with wonderful & communicative hosts.
