Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Te Waipounamu / South Island

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

Gibbs’ guesthouse is absolute perfection. From the incredible vistas, to the outdoor bath (!!), fireplace, and sumptuous linens, it is a gem and one we will long remember. We had the pleasure of staying here for three nights in mid-June. We were lucky for incredible weather for the most (morning frosts, crisp, sunny days, and cosy, clear nights against a backdrop of incredible stars); using that to our advantage, we flew up to the glacier for a morning on the ice, and used the guesthouse as a fabulous base for other hikes around the area. For one of the days, we were cosy inside with the fire burning and playing many of the games in the cupboards. Perfect relaxation! The guesthouse is appointed beautifully, and Sarah (our host) very responsive and warm in her communication. It’s very easy to find, and just far enough out of town to be very quiet and relaxing. Do yourselves a favour, and book a stay here. You’ll not regret it!

Loved our stay here, awesome kids friendly place. Already planning our next visit! 🥰

So grateful for people sharing their little slice of paradise like this with us. Gorgeous, amazingly designed house with jaw dropping views from every window. We were lucky enough to have sun, snow and auroras at night during our stay. The house is super cozy and well equipped and close to Arrowtown and right on the Queenstown trail. It’s also the perfect location for every ski hill. We loved every minute of our stay and can’t wait to return. Thankyou so much.

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

Glenn was fantastic and a great host! He greeted us with umbrellas when it was raining heavy and also drove us to town to get our rental car. Glenn went out of his way to make us feel so welcomed.

Very good host, very timely response, the room is very clean, the pillows are super comfortable, very satisfied with the B&B, the room is fully equipped with cooking utensils!I'll be back soon!

Great property! The views were amazing, the amenities were as shown in the photos, and even better. Great open floor plan, wide open views, comfortable furniture and an overall amazing stay. Thanks again!

Nice and tidy, great location. Would stay again.

The house is superb! Near town centre. The inside is also incredible. Very clean and well designed. Netflix works well. Also basic cooking stuffs provided. Highly recommend it.

This stay was incredible! The views at sunrise and sunset were astounding and the AirBnb was perfect for a get away! Would definitely return!

Great place, nice, clean and cosy and close to restaurants and shops. Hot tub was a nice treat in the cold weather and nice views not far away!

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.

This is my second stay here. Its a great place to come back to after a day at work. Having the pub at the front gives you options for a good meal if you don't feel like cooking it yourself

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.

A great retreat overlooking the mountains which is a visual feast lookingout the front room windows. Very peaceful with the occasional train running in the distance. Close to the village, walking trails, and all sights to see.

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. :)
