Waterfront holiday rentals in Shotover River

Really beautiful spot just a few steps away from the main center of restaurants and shops. Great angle to view the lake and mountains — the owners suite on the second floor had a nice view, and then the third floor had a stunning view (which was nice with the open concept between living/dining room). The sauna was a fun touch too! We juuust barely managed to fit our 2 cars into the garage, but might not be doable if your cars are on the larger side.

This property is at a beautiful location, sitting right in front of the stunning Wakatipu Lake. If you're seeking a peaceful and cozy retreat with your family, I highly recommend this wonderful getaway. On top of it , property was absolutely clean and all necessarily arrangement was in place.

An excellent stay in Queenstown. The accommodation was very clean, comfortable, and located in a large, secure building. It was within easy walking distance to the lakefront, bars, restaurants, and town centre, which made exploring super convenient. Parking was available at the rear of the building on Kilmarnoch Street and was the easiest option—just note that it's paid parking, arranged through the front desk. On the final night, there was some unexpected noise from neighbouring guests (unrelated to the host), including arguments that disrupted the evening. However, the host was extremely responsive and proactive in addressing the situation, which was greatly appreciated and helped to quickly restore a sense of calm. Highly recommend this place for a well-located, well-managed stay in Queenstown.

The Relax It’s Done team were very proactive and helpful prior to our arrival. We were travelling with our family of 4 & grandparents. The place was perfect, warm and ready for us to walk into. The team had a cot set up ready to go when we arrived & dropped over a highchair when we realised we’d forgotten to ask. Their ideas for Queenstown and compendium in house was very helpful! Couldn’t recommend more for a holiday to switch off!

We absolutely LOVED our stay! The place was a great size and the view was incredible. We would stay here again for sure! 10/10

The place is close to Queenstown airport, restaurants and easily accessible. It's just few steps away from the famous Boatshed restaurant of the Queenstown. It's a good place to stay with family The host is responsive and cooperative. During the stay , had some issues with the sink The host fixed it immediately in the middle of Easter holiday. Will stay again.

It was great to stay at a place that was so easily accessible to the center of Queenstown, with the shopping and restaurants so close. The beautiful view of the lake right across the street was an added bonus.

We had the most incredible stay at Victoria’s space! The smell from the fresh florals was such a unique and wonderful touch. The space was designed so well and the views of the mountains and the lake are just breath taking. It’s across the street from the most incredible restaurant that Victoria suggested (The Sherwood) and we ended up going back 2 nights in a row to try everything on the menu. The proximity from town is great, you can walk if you are feeling like some exercise or it’s a quick 5 min drive/ uber. We also enjoyed an afternoon swimming off the dock in the refreshing waters of the lake. I cannot recommend this stay enough!

Travelling with family of 6 plus grandparents. Was a great stay and 5-10 mins from airport and 5-10mins from town depending on traffic. The layout was good for us as we could stay upstairs while the grandparents had the self contained unit downstairs. The main living room was great and had a big window that captured the views amazingly. The outside had a nice little outside space with table and chairs and great on the couple of sunny days. The hottub was good on our ski days and overlooked the water which was nice. The property was clean and functional and had the basics. The bedrooms were on the smaller side but was fine for that style and time of building. One thing to keep in mind is that the driveway is a little harder to get down coming from the south if you have a long wheel base. This is due to the orientation of the hairpin corner. It sometimes hard to get out from during busy times if heading south as you cannot clearly see around the corner and can be dangerous.

We had a wonderful 3 nights at this lovely house. Very spacious and fabulous views. Everything you need in the kitchen. Rina was super helpful with things to do and where to eat. We followed her recommendations and were very pleased we did. Would love to return.

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.

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!

Jef is a top notch host. The house is absolutely beautiful and the location overlooking the lake is ideal. You won’t a better host or property to stay at!! Highly recommend.

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.

Had a lovely stay. Secluded and private with friendly hosts on site. Scenery was absolutely beautiful and the night sky was something else. Very homely feel, the board and card games were great entertainment in front of a nice warm fire. Monopoly deal was a standout, particularly for my partner who nearly won every game. Even managed to catch 5 rainbow trout from the river which I was absolutely stoked with. We only stayed for one night, wish we had longer there to explore and relax.

We recently stayed at Emma's place for 4 nights, and it was a fantastic experience for our family of five. The home was clean, modern, and stylish, which made our stay very enjoyable. The location was great, offering easy access to Coronet Peak for our ski activities, while also just a short 10-minute drive to the town centre. Emma was a great host, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommended!

Julia’s place offers one of the best bang-for-your-buck views in Queenstown! With two separate bedrooms, it was more than spacious for us as a couple. The living area has a gas heater that warms the space quickly, plus finned heaters in each room kept us cozy during chilly nights. The kitchen comes thoroughly equipped with 4 gas powered stoves, electric kettle, microwave oven and nespresso machine. There's also a washing machine and clothes rack to dry your clothes! The hot tub was a highlight — perfect for a solo soak under the stars, with consistently warm water. The location is super convenient: just 10 minutes from the airport and around 15 minutes to the CBD. Plus, major supermarkets like New World, Woolworths, and Kmart are close by. Highly recommended for a comfortable and well-located stay!

Really great apartment in a great location. Keren was very responsive and extremely accommodating. Wish we could have stayed longer!!!

The place is self-sufficient and offers a gorgeous view of Lake Wakatipu. It was perfect for our family with a toddler—fully equipped with all the necessary amenities. Very private, clean, and in a great location. Being close to the airport, we occasionally spotted airplanes, which was an absolute hit with our toddler! Highly recommend

The studio was in a great location. It was easy to find, clean and tidy. Will definitely stay if im in Queenstown again.
