Ski-in/Ski-out holiday rentals in Te Waipounamu / South Island

The landlord is very nice and friendly, the house is also good!

We only stayed here for one night before we picked up our campervan but it was super easy and extremely comfortable!

Clarice is a kind and understanding host, and her house has an incredible view of the lake! She very kindly offered me some dinner on my first night as well, and was accommodating when I accidentally brought meat into the house (it's a vegetarian house). If I'm ever in Queenstown again, I would stay here!

Great room, good value, easy to find and good amenities in the room

Great warm place to stay. Felt right at home.

I had a great stay at Ling’s place! The house was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was convenient, and the host was responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Wanaka.

The check-in time was 4 PM, but due to our flight schedule, we asked if we could check in earlier at 3 PM. Dino kindly agreed. The place was clean and tidy, with a private bathroom located outside the room. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to walk from the airport to the house.

Tim was a great host, very communicative and greeted us upon our arrival to Mt Lyford to show us the lay of the land.  Mt Lyford is an idyllic location to really escape, simplistic 'mountain style living', surrounded by walks (for all levels) with panoramic views from Kaikoura to Hanmer Springs. There are also mountain bike tracks and a small lake to cool off on a summer's day. We stayed in the Mt Stella Hut with loft style sleeping arrangements. We were fortunate to have the grounds completely to ourselves, however there is a shared kitchen, living room and bathroom area for all cabins within the Hut/chalet. Highly recommend to all! From singles, groups and families, long stays or short. You won't be disappointed with this beautiful piece of country. *Would highly recommend taking Tim's offer for a shuttle, unless you own four wheel drive and are comfortable driving mountain roads. ** There is reception on Mt Lyford, depending on your server you my need to do a lap on the grounds to find it. Wi-fi is great!

Summer or winter, this alpine setting has ALOT to offer. We made the most of the landscape by hiking, biking and animal spotting. We enjoyed the hot tub and watching the stars emerge without any light pollution.

If you’re adventurous and enjoy unique places, then like us, you’ll love this place!Thankfully for us the weather cleared the afternoon we arrived and we had fantastic views of the mountains and surrounding areas. Some persistent stoking of the hot tub paid off and a good relaxing soak in steaming hot water as the clouds rolled in and rain started in the late evening was beautiful!

Awesome getaway in the mountains. The hot tubs are a real treat! Many thanks Tim!
