Fantail-Uninterrupted Mountain & Lake View-access
Beautiful stay with great views. My family and I really enjoyed the stay and really appreciated all the details and thought that went into designing the place. In particular, we really liked the fact there were hangers and space to put our luggage and clothes. Convenient ports to charge our devices and the place was absolutely clean and stunning. Would definitely come back to stay again in the future.

Lakefront Luxury - Amazing Views
We had an amazing stay! The lake view from our place was absolutely stunning. The location was super convenient—so close to the airport and major supermarkets like Pack’n Save. Check-in and check-out were the easiest we’ve ever experienced. The interior was beautifully designed and made our stay feel extra special. We spent three nights here during my dad’s 60th birthday trip, and my parents loved it so much that we’re already talking about coming back. Everything was spectacular!

Stunning Home - Amazing Wakatipu Lake Views
Beautiful location with a stunning view of the lake. House was spotlessly clean. Host was friendly and accomodating!

Modern, sunny and amazing lake and mountain views
Great location Beautiful view Clean, comfortable beds, soft towels, comfy couch. Overall was really nice. Only suggestion would be to improve what’s available in the kitchen eg a pair of tongs, a strainer, some oil, cling wrap, foil. Kitchen was extremely limited to be able to cook a simple meal eg pasta. No foil to line oven trays. No way to cover leftovers. No hand soap in the kitchen. A few more basic items would give this place 5 stars. Overall 4.5

Lake Wakatipu Home - Stunning Views & Walk To Town
We absolutely loved our stay at this house. The amazing views over the lake and towards the mountains were unbeatable. So easy to walk into town along the lake edge, and through the Queenstown Gardens. The beds were very comfortable and the place made you feel so cosy and at home straight away. Will definitely look to book again next time we are visiting Queenstown.

Natural Vistas over Queenstown
A beautiful and spacious apartment just out of Queenstown. 10 years since we have last been to Queenstown and wow it has got bigger! So really nice to removed from that, in the quiet surrounds, with only a short drive to town.

Lakeview Escape – Fernhill Retreat
The location of the housing is very good, rooms are very clean. The view is wonderful!

Oraka Lodge | views, outdoor fire and spa
Totally recommend this place 10/10! Such a beautiful house, amazing views and garden, lots of activities to do at home. The house has every thing we needed. Perfectly clean and has unique feature. We would come back to stay here again if we visiting Queenstown again. And Deborah also is very kind to greet us and show us around.

Cosy flat, lake view, short drive to town.
Georgia was so kind and welcoming! Her place had everything I needed including laundry! She had great recommendations for local food Chur and Lokale! Location was fantastic and of course the view from her place was great!

The Remarkable lakeside Apartment
Best location with spectacular views definitely will stay there again 🏔️⛰️

Lake Edge, Queenstown
Me and my friends had a wonderful stay at Lake Edge! The lake view was stunning – we loved waking up to such a peaceful scene. The location was also very convenient, being close to the city center made it easy to get around and explore. The host Liz, was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and her cute cat was a bonus! The house had a lovely homey feel, it was very comfortable and relaxing. The bed warmer was a lifesaver during the colder evenings, ensuring we were always cozy. We highly recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay with a beautiful view.

QUEENSTOWN ON THE LAKE - your view
A truly wonderful apartment in a fantastic location, 3 mins walk to the town centre. Karen was an excellent host and was very responsive throughout, providing lots of local recommendations.

3 Level Lakeside Luxury, Bikes & Car Rental Option

No Cleaning Fee | Staff on-site 24x7 | Bag storage
We really appreciated having a clean, convenient space for our 2 night get away to the city. We are from the states staying in Twizel but wanted to come to the city for a few nights. The place was perfect with all the amenities. Great for kids. Loved the balcony views! Can’t beat it!

Beautiful Views in the Centre of Queenstown
Great apartment. Ideal for 2 people. Beautiful view. Very clean with everything you need for a nice stay. Geoff was very easy to communicate with. Landscape work being done across the road, so access to town will be easier when it’s finished (soon)

Taihuna Lakefront Luxury
This Airbnb was the perfect spot for us to spend our honeymoon. It is in the perfect location and the property was beautiful and very tidy. 10/10 would recommend and hope we can come back one day!

Private Cottage with Spa & Amazing Lake Views
loved this place!! the views were gorgeous!! also nice to stay outside the craziness of Queenstown

Cottage on Wesney Terrace
We loved our time here. Each night it felt like we were coming back home. It was so easy to relax after a day exploring. We chose this location because it fit well into our itinerary and we are so glad that we did.

" The Cottage - Comfortable and Private "
You couldn’t ask for a nicer little place, it was sparkling, clean very comfortable and perfect location for my needs. I would recommend Judith’s place every time. Communication was easy and very quick check in no problem at all. Check out same way cheers, Richard.

Bellhaven
We had another fantastic stay with Ray and Deb in Cromwell, our second time staying with them while in town for an agility show. Their house is in a perfect spot, just a 10-minute walk to the Stoaker Room for dinner, and close to many walkways leading to the lake. The accommodation is always clean and comfortable, with beds that guarantee a great night's sleep and everything we need to feel at home. Deb is absolutely lovely and makes us feel so welcome every time. It's the little things that make such a difference, and their place has truly become our favourite spot to stay in Cromwell. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

The Cottages on Lake Hayes - Luna
Loved our stay so much we will be back. The location is secluded but still quite central to all of the main areas of the queenstown region. Car recommended to get around. The lake Hayes area has a beautiful peaceful residential feel, with walking track around the lake itself, and surrounded by beautiful New Zealand architecture and rural properties. As a plus, the Frankston shopping centre is about a 3 minute drive and very convenient. Our favourite restaurants and winery at Ayrburn is also just a 3-4 minute drive away - incredible. The cabin was clean, well equipped and the spa and fireplace are a huge plus for the cooler months.
