Holiday rentals with lake access in Southland Region

It's a nice home, very cozy and comfortable. The food and supermarket was just a 5 mins drive away and there is also a beautiful lake right down the house. It was a very nice place to rest and relax especially when you are travelling to visit Milford Sound.

We absolutely adored staying at Te Awa Lodge on our recent trip to Wanaka. It was a gorgeous riverside home with an amazing hot tub and sauna, which we loved using after our hikes. Graeme and Carolyn were such warm, welcoming hosts and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The property is easily accessible to Wanaka (10-15 min) and Mount Aspiring (1 hour) . Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

This crib is all about the view which is clearly spectacular. No other reviews have referenced the property’s layout which I will do here - not as a criticism, but as an observation so that folks can take same into consideration. The property has 2 bedrooms - however they are effectively joined (wth a small ante room in between) meaning that the second bedroom can only be accessed via the first bedroom. This arrangement is certainly noted in the property description; however it’s not apparent from the photos. Folks may need to take this arrangement into account, depending on who they’re sharing with, noting that the occupant of the second bedroom needs to pass through the first bedroom to access the bathroom. My sister and I very much enjoyed our stay & everything the property and surrounds had to offer! Thanks Fiona!

Jimmy was a very thoughtful and responsive host . The house was very comfortable with stunning views. The setting opposite the lake is beautiful, and a great base for exploring other areas of interest around Queenstown. We’d highly recommend Jimmy’s place.

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.

Wonderful cozy cottage that feels just like home. It was a beautiful place to stay for 2-3 nights and as a family of 5 we really enjoyed the easy access to all places as well as the living room and the board games. Anna keeps the place well stocked and you can cook or eat out (since it’s close to the restaurants and grocery stores too). Great stay!

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.

We had a great stay at Julian's place earlier this month. It was perfect for our family. We've learned we really need a dishwasher, kitchen, and washer/dryer when traveling with children and this place was perfect. Great location within Ta Anau, 4-5 min drive to anywhere we needed to go. Very easy communication leading up to our stay. Easy check-in process. Easy to get the place warm and cozy at the end of the day. Nothing negative to say. Would recommend Julian's place and would stay here again!

The absolutely breathtaking views, just a few minutes' walk to Queenstown center. Deborah provided lots of helpful information. The room was well-equipped and incredibly cozy — I’d choose it again next time. Highly recommended!

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!

Excellent apartment located on the second floor with beautiful scenery and excellent views. Fully equipped with modern amenities, this peaceful property offers tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. Situated just a 2-minute drive from Queenstown and featuring a convenient bus stop right at the entrance, it provides exceptional transportation accessibility.

Perfect crash pad right on the lake with everything that was needed for a weeks stay.

It’s such a comfortable and cozy place at a very convenient location! Kirsty is an amazing host! She replied to our messages promptly and even turned on the lights for us as we arrived at night. We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely come back when we visit Queenstown again! Thank you so much Kirsty!

the place was exceptional! Ray was so friendly, kind and quick to respond. even with the last-minute request, we were allowed to check in earlier which was super helpful. 120% recommended!

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)

Had a great weekend in Queenstown staying at Charlie and Rob’s. It’s a great set up, my friends and I loved it. I’d also strongly consider bringing my wife and kids back here, as the apartment would be perfect for families also.

loved this place!! the views were gorgeous!! also nice to stay outside the craziness of Queenstown

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.

I loved this cottage. I felt right at home. I liked the extra touches of fruit and cereal along with a great shower. I enjoyed being close to the lake for an evening walk. I would definitely stay again.

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.

Beautiful little cottage with quality furniture and furnishings. A beautiful view for a few days retreat

Excellent cottage! Beautiful courtyard, nice view and quite. There is a red folder provide all information including home appliances manual. Welcome cookie and warmfirplace have been set up before arrived. Highly recommend for all Airbnb user!

Location was the stand out! 10-15 mins walk for central Queenstown. Cosy, plenty of parking and all amenities were great. Would stay here again when we’re back in Queenstown!

Homely and comfortable stay with great amenities!
