Guesthouse holiday rentals in Southland Region

A true bed and breakfast in a sea of stale air bnbs! Sharon met me upon arrival and showed me to my private abode in the center of a working cherry (and other things!) farm. The fridge was stocked with eggs, milk, butter and bread, and there was a nespresso machine + a selection of teas. She also gave me a book of local wineries and their backgrounds which I greatly appreciated and used throughout my stay. Would stay here again if I’m ever back in the area!

Stu’s guesthouse was a lovely getaway in New Zealand! Close to Queenstown, ZQN airport, and to many outdoor activities. Very peaceful and private, soft linens, and felt right at home. It’s clear that this is not a cookie cutter Airbnb, but a real guesthouse, and it shows in the fit and finish of the property, and Stu’s helpful and kind approach to hosting. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

Nice spot with awesome access to the lake, good parking and outside bath was great. Tidy cabin with good heating. Would recommend.

This place was amazing, only stayed one night and was planning to have dinner in the city, but once we saw the views from the front patio - we decided to stay in for dinner and watch the sunset from home !! Very clean place as well, and impressed by how many amenities they provided. Would definitely stay here again !

This was a perfect stay, convenient right across the bus stop and Foursquare. I felt so at home and so welcome. Arrowtown is a real hidden gem and it was a manageable walking distance into town to explore further. Great suggestions in the compendium, comfortable and warm bed and the heat pump was a bonus, although I didn’t need it much with the lovely sunny few days. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

Very peaceful, private and sunny. Felt like it was brand new. Anita is so friendly. And the home made bread was delish! Would highly recommend.

A perfectly proportioned, cosy, modern and well equipped unit for a couple - just like a home away from home, at a great price and the location is unbeatable if you are here to explore the many biking and walking options like we were. Belinda was very accommodating in allowing us to securely store our mountain bikes in the garage when we were not using them. Already thinking of our next visit, can't wait!

Amazing house, amazing hosts, cool animals which you can feed! Setting is absolutely stunning, close enough to Queenstown but remote enough to feel the serene landscape, amazing night sky's too. Hosts went above and beyond and did everything with a smile. Great spot!!

We really loved our stay here. Simple, modern with all the perfect touches - soft snuggly towels, comfortable bed, warm floors, yummy smelling hand soaps, dimming lights, nice toilet paper. Even little chocs on our arrival, with granola and nice milk. Everything had a touch of care and Aroha to it. Private, quiet and warm. We were lucky enough to be visited by the dog Jet who came over for a scratch. Easy access. Everything you need.

Clean and comfortable space with everything you need. Comfy bed and bathroom was nice.

This place is the “Four Seasons” of rural NZ. Located in a vineyard and a short walk to Lake Dunstan, this cute little cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The hosts have thoughtfully designed the space and furnished it with all mod cons to ensure guests have a pleasant stay. The stand out feature is of course the outdoor hot tub which we got to experience on a chilly autumn night after a long day of travel. Just ensure you let the hosts know so they can fire it up and have it ready for you to jump in. Can’t wait to tell family and friends all about this place so they can also experience this little slice of paradise.

This is a very new one bedroom apartment separated off from a house in a residential neighborhood about 15 minutes driving time from Queenstown. The space is very comfortable and the views from the area are really special. Emma and Paul were very proactive and caring, helping me with several issues that arose during my stay. The bed is very nice and the shower was great. Guests should know that as of 2025 Emma has an infant, so from time to time you can hear crying or playing inside the apartment. It's not bad, but you should have earplugs if you think that might bother you.

The AirBnb was a beautiful place for our holiday and we were grateful that Sunny and the owners were comfortable with us taking some photos at the accommodation before our wedding. We found the place very homey and peaceful, with beautiful landscaping and scenery and not too far from the city. The owners were also friendly and approachable and happy to help with any questions we had - we would recommend this accommodation to anybody looking to holiday away from busy Central Queenstown!

Thank you Steph for such a beautiful stay. The photos did not do the room justice, it was impeccably clean with everything you could need for your stay. We appreciated the heat hump, heated towel rack and floors for our winter stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Steph’s place again.

This was a fantastic place to stay and Grace was a wonderful host. Communication was great and the unit had everything I needed. Grace went above and beyond with extras including cookies, breakfast and juice. The unit is well furnished, the bed is extremely comfortable and the water pressure in the shower is amazing. I would highly recommend staying here and would happily stay again. Thank you Grace for your wonderful hospitality.

Gail and Peter were fantastic hosts. Parking and accessing the property was easy and all the information we needed was provided to us. The place was clean, tidy and very welcoming. Would 100% recommend a stay here :)

Our stay at Mei's place was great. Very comfortable and cosy and has everything you need, with a fully equipped kitchen. There were 5 of us, 3 adults and 2 kids, and felt quite comfortable. The accommodation was exactly as shown and nice and clean. The wifi was good which was really helpful for work purposes. We also really enjoyed the fire pit. Would definitely recommend it.

Don’s place was spotless and had all the amenities described. The view was amazing and just a short drive into the heart of Queenstown!

Great location, easily walkable to supermarket and food and restaurant around the area. Amazing space! Clean, spacious and comfortable, couldnt have asked for more really. Bernie was a great host, we’ve had an incident on the day of check in (Sorry again) but Bernie was quick to settle us in and assisted us when we were there. 100% would recommend staying here! Note that if u’re driving a campervan, best park by the road side just outside the house, it’s safe no worries. Thank you for having us Bernie!

Cosy and beautiful apartment with a nice view to boot! Came with a nice little garden with a tree house and trampoline that kids will always want to jump in. About 8 min into the main town.

We loved our 3 night stay. Great location and had everything we needed. Nice tidy place and plenty of space for us to relax after a day of exploring! Would stay again

Really lovely house with a sweet little garden at the back. We were travelling with two small children and it was perfect. A lovely distance from the town and really nice walks nearby. The house was spotless and had super comfy beds and an amazing shower. We would definitely return. Thank you so much for having us!

Great place to stay stunning views great host very responsive and helpful through a street wide power cut and going and getting us extra blankets so we were snug. Awesome stay

As soon as you enter the door, you can see a great view, impeccable space, close to the city, and convenient for shopping
