Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Te Waipounamu / South Island

We had a fantastic time here. The cube is beautifully appointed, spacious and cozy all wrapped into one. The views are spectacular, it has everything you need. The beds are so unbelievably comfortable, to the point I'm trying to recreate the set up at home. The beaches and surrounds are amazing in whatever weather. We just didn't book for long enough. Thank you x

Wonderful, peaceful place to stay. Quirky items in the house. Very warm and the house had everything you needed. Excellent host who responded to questions and requests. Thanks

I can't say enough positive things about Big Heart Beach. We loved staying at this wonderful home with the sound of the waves out th back door and a view of the Southern Alps from the front. The house had everything we needed and was extremely comfortable. I would definitely stay here a second time if or when I am lucky enough to visit the area again.

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.

Majic little place. A lovely modern 2 bedroom cottage 5 minutes from town. Perfect for self drivers with unbeatable views of the glacier set in a native garden. Lovely fireplace different places to sit out doors and in. Convenient to have washing machine, heaters, hairdryer and modern kitchen. Lovely modern decor and crisp bedding. Very good communicator. Lovely hot outdoor star gazing bath to try and warm indoor modern bathroom. Games cupboard and fire pit basically everything you need for a fabulous stay. I would definitely book again 10/10.

What a wonderful place to stay! We especially enjoyed the breathtaking views, the window seat, and nice tea selections and French press coffee. It was nice of Kath to offer early check in and to meet us when we arrived to share some instructions.

This is undoubtably one of the best Air BNB places we have stayed. We felt at home and spent many an hour sitting at the window with the fire crackling - nice glass of red in hand of course. not much more to say except WOW. Thank you to Angela and her family for sharing their place with us

A lovely, cosy home. spotlessly clean, with all the amenities you might need. Only a short drive to Diamond Head for convenient shops and takeaways, as well as a picturesque ferry ride across the harbour to Lyttleton. A lovely spot!

Our stay at Ross’ place at Terrace Downs Windwhistle was so picturesque (once the weather cleared). Property was as show. In the pictures and approx 50mins drive from MtHutt ski base. Be aware no shops nearby so take everything you need with you. Methven is approx 30mins. Would recommend for peaceful stay.

Oh where do I begin…Sararose and Jules family has the most charming apartment nested in an incredible mountain valley. But what touched my heart was how everything was designed and built in this apartment, and I really mean EVERYTHING. From the fully equipped and stocked kitchen to the cozy fire place, to the spotless bathroom, everything is thoughtfully placed and made by hand. Craftsmanship can be felt everywhere. It’s such a warm welcoming space inside out. The window seat is no joke, exactly as shown on the photos. Come here, you will find everything you will ever need, inside out.

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.

We had a fantastic 3 nights enjoying the views and character of Julie's place, very friendly with lots of locals tips and would definitely like to revisit with the family !

Great place, luxury decoration and great views, slightly sadly not knowing how to open the fireplace

Beautiful!! The view here is unmatched, and it is so peaceful on the balconies watching the sunset.

Highly recommendable. Very clean and cosy. Comfy mattress, mattress heating (!), small breakfast including tea/coffee/milk provided.

Our stay there was absolutely wonderful. The house was spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.

It was a beautiful villa with a beautiful Mountain Views!!

Lovely place to spend a few days and use to either relax quietly or use it as a base to explore more of the Catlins from. I'd definitely recommend!

Awesome relaxing home. We stayed over a colder long weekend, but the house was warm and cosy. The log burner was great. Fantastic place for a family to come and relax. Well supplied with appliances and provisions and Alvin is a great host. Can't wait to return in the warmer months.

Everything is just perfect. I love this house.

I stayed at David’s with my husband and mum and dad and it was perfect! Really spacious with comfy beds and lounge area and a view to die for. Catching the bus into town was only $2 and left from the end of the street, there were also restaurants and bars within walking distance which we loved. Recommend this place if you’re looking for a spacious and comfortable base to explore Queenstown from.

We loved our stay at Tom and Taya’s beautiful house. Our kids didn’t want to leave. We hope to come back for another visit in the future.

A beautiful house with a homely feel. The toys for the children were a big hit. Warm and cosy. Thank you

Lovely warm house to stay in and very comfortable. Would be perfect for big groups! Only a 5 minute walk into the Main Street. Will definitely stay again
