Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Southland Region

Amazing stay!

Kath and Steve gave us a warm welcome when we arrived and made us feel at home. The place was very comfortable and well stocked. The location is beautiful! All good. We'd love to come back.

We really enjoyed staying at Niagara Ridge Retreat. The house was comfortable, view was amazing, and we liked the location.

We loved our stay at John’s. We arrived in the dark so did not get to see how beautiful it was outside till the next morning. The house was extremely cozy, and despite a raging storm outside we felt warm and comfortable inside. The power went out due to the storm and John kindly offered his own kitchen for use, which although we didn’t take up the offer, was greatly appreciated. The tubs were a great spot for having a morning coffee and watching the birds. The number of Tui’s was incredible. I would absolutely recommend anyone to stay.

Really nice peaceful property. Location was great only 2 minute walk from lake Manapouri, which is beautiful, as well as general great views in the surrounding area. Makes for a good base to go to the Fiordland National park, around 2 hours to Milford sound. Place itself was spacious and had everything you would need, comfortable bed, kitchen, parking. Carolyn was a great host too, would recommend.

A cute old cottage very well done up in a lovely location. Caroline was very easy to work with. It was a shame we only had 1 night.

The location of this home in Kingston is just breathtaking. The lake, the mountains, the quaint little town -- all of it is perfect. It is a 45-ish minute drive from Queenstown, but that was a plus for us as we had day trips planned to Milford Sound and Invercargill. Plus, the drive to Queenstown is so beautiful. The house was very clean and cozy. We made ample use of the washing machine (which conveniently has a dryer option as well). I would highly recommend a stay at Ian's.

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.

This is a wonderful place to stay. The views are absolutely amazing. The accommodation was spotless and had everything you could possibly need. Everything was to high standard and attention to detail was great. The studio is very private. Karen and John went out of their way to make us feel welcome and were very helpful.

Love the ambience, incredible and convenient location with stunning views. The place was super cozy and had a very homey vibe. Toilet floors are heated which is something that we did not know we needed haha - mind blowing. This airbnb blew our expectations out of the water.

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!

We stayed at the Kikorangi apartment for 10 wonderful days. The apartment was well appointed with all the amenities you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay….it felt like home. And the view…it was amazing! We spent a lot of time looking out the window at Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables. The location of the apartment was the perfect base for Queenstown activities and road trips. It’s only a short drive to Queenstown, Arrowtown and Queenstown airport. Highly recommend staying at this apartment for a memorable stay.

If you're lucky enough to find availability with Beryle, book it immediately. She’s not just a host — she’s one of the kindest, most extraordinary people we’ve ever met. From the moment we arrived, she welcomed us like family. We even (seriously) asked if she’d adopt us — and we’re 29 and 30! She’s the ultimate Kiwi mum: warm, thoughtful, and endlessly generous. She made my partner’s birthday so special with heartfelt touches we’ll never forget. Beryle went above and beyond in every single way. She was incredibly helpful in reviewing our itinerary and used her local knowledge to help us adjust our plans when the weather changed. Her advice was thoughtful, practical, and spot-on. I would use my last dying breath to recommend you stay with Beryle. This was more than a place to sleep — it was a highlight of our trip, thanks to one remarkable woman. The bed was amazing and the bathroom great! We arrived as guests, left as family. I wish I could say more, but I only have 999 characters!

Nice and tidy, great location. Would stay again.

Thankyou so much for a lovely stay. Not far from Queenstown and was such a welcoming and cozy stay. It was lovely meeting you both and would definitely recommend this stay

Jane was very attentive and had the fire lit for our guys every day of the stay before they came back for the evening. This was a special touch after a day of installing floors down the road! Great place to spend the night in Kingston. Would recommend, especially if you are looking for somewhere exactly half way between Queenstown and Te Anau.

Beautiful place with one of the best views in Queenstown. Excellent bed and shower. Very clean. Highly recommended

Quiet and nice little area with all the necessary amenities within 10mins of driving. Room is clean with a basic kitchen enough for meal preparation.

Great place to stay , apartment was clean and tidy and kitchen had all the utensils we needed. Close to all amenities and great views. Would definitely recommend this place . Thanks

Excellent communication, and entry instruction from Owner. Apartment was as listed, no surprises or disappointments. Short walk to supermarket/shops. We hired a vehicle. The car space provided was well positioned, and able to be locked when we were out, bonus. Side note: $10pp cash for 5min local bus to/from airport without a travel BeeCard. We stayed 2 nights in Queenstown and 3 nights with a vehicle at this AirBnB, overall I was very pleased with my choice. Recommend, Yes.

A wonderful location with stunning lake and mountain views. Pleasant and easy walks to local coffee shops and eateries. Great lakeside walk into Queenstown. Excellent accommodation bed extremely comfortable. Great communication with host who was helpful and timely in responding. Would highly recommend and would return in a heartbeat.

Location is great with private parking so you don’t have to worry about finding one far away and shifting luggages. The place I clean and near most of the needed amenities, beautiful surrounding and walking distance to the lake. Full function kitchen with no restriction of what are allowed to be cooked. Jane is a wonderful host ensuring our safe arrival and proactively helped us check on the status of the road closure, ensuring our safe arrival. We were greeted with a warm welcome, chocolate and a pre warmed house. :)

I will never forget the moment staying 2nights here. Wonderful view

Apartment with a great view and good location as it is near to town areas. Quite a variety of eateries and shopping in town areas. Very responsive and friendly host. Clear instructions to check in and parking is just outside the apartment. Convenient to move the luggages. Good stay indeed!
