Cottage rentals with a hot tub

The Cottages on Lake Hayes - Luna
We stayed 2 nights at this place. The cottages was wonderful. The place was quiet and convenient. Kirsty and Justin made the house just feel like home, which made us relaxed and enjoyed it a lot. The facilities and amenities in the house were abundant and easy to use, especially the hot tub! The host was friendly, responding fast to my questions. We really had a great experience here.

Historic Clyde cottage, restored & welcoming
We loved Louise’s place and had a wonderful time there in her beautiful garden as well. Lovely meeting her and her friendly dogs also! The cottage is charming with all the amenities you’d need - we were welcomed with freshly picked raspberries that were delightful. Located next to all the best coffee shops and restaurants in Clyde, we would love to come back and stay for longer next time.

The Cottages on Lake Hayes - Moke
Exceptionally beautiful stay. Stunning cottage and location, with very thoughtful and generous hosts. We loved the local art that was showcased too - a vibrant and unique collection.

Cozy 3 Bedroom Cottage with Pool
Great Villa in a wondeful location. Very good value for money

The Cottages at Lake Hayes - Hope
There is not enough praise I can give to Rob and this beautiful stay. Rob was extremely friendly, responsive, and accommodating to all requests made. We instantly felt at home as soon as we stepped into the cottage and loved every moment here. Rob was quite helpful with allowing for an earlier check in time, and later check out and ensured the place was perfectly clean and comfortable upon arrival. The place is well kept - and very peaceful to return to after a day out. The fireplace, and hot tub are perfect touches! Would give 6 stars if I could. Thank you for making this a perfect stay.

Drakes cottage renovated country farmhouse and hut
This is the best AIRBNB we have EVER stayed in (and we've stayed in loads all over the world). Emilie's place is idyllic - even better than the pictures. There are epic mountain views out every window, the space is light, bright and very welcoming with lots of exposed wood and calming decor. Every corner of this house has been thought about - it is a master class in hosting. There are multiple social spaces outside the house to make the most of the sun and views at every time of the day. Our 2 kids had the time of their lives racing around the property, jumping on the tramp and enjoying the hot tub. Emilie was extremely accommodating with our sleeping requirements and on arrival there were thoughtful complimentary extras including local sparkling wine, chocolates and coffee. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with basic ingredients and every appliance you could wish for. The surrounding area is stunning, lake Hawea being the most stunning lake we saw. Highly recommend a stay here.

Wanaka Cottage
We spent a lovely weekend in this delightful cottage. The barbeque and spa pool got plenty of action along with the outdoor seating area. Jacqueline and Ash are great hosts and our roast lamb was made even more delicious by the rosemary fresh from the garden. Easy access to Wanaka township and surrounding attractions. Highly recommend and we'd definitely stay again.

Manorburn Cottage Rural Alexandra
Had a great time, right on the Otago rail trail bike track, a few kms ride from town. Place was clean and tidy.

Stableburn Cottage: Unique off-grid family bach
Wonderful place for a relaxing stay. Absolutely stunning scenery, and such a cosy spot. It was so wonderful to be able to bring our dog, too - he was in heaven running around, and having Sarah be so accommodating with him allowed us to relax even more. Lovely touches throughout like candles, and the fire ready to go if we needed it! The outdoor bath was also a fabulous treat that we thoroughly enjoyed. Will definitely be back!

Creagh Homestead, mountain getaway
Fantastic on all levels. If this is available book it! Outstanding views and so peaceful. The perfect place for a getaway whilst being so close to Arrowtown and the wonderful Ayrburn property. Great hosts and the perfect set up. Highly recommend

Rough Ridge Cottage ~ your haven in Central Otago
Beautiful spot. Great host with excellent recommendations about the area. Would definitely book again.

'The Cottage' at Patearoa, Central Otago
We loved staying at the Cottage. It was cosy, decorated in a modern yet sympathetic style. The host left fresh baking to welcome us, along with other farm fresh goods for our use. Wonderful all round!

Creagh Homestead & Cottage
You’d struggle to find a better view of Arrowtown and the valley heading to Qtown. Would love to have been able to stay longer and enjoy the accommodation more. Jeremy was easy to reach, super friendly and very accommodating - we had an additional guest join us last minute and Jeremy happily brought down sheets for their bed late on a Friday evening. Highly recommend

Taieri Bank Cottage - Middlemarch / Hyde
This is a lovely place just outside Middlemarch. We stayed during our rail trail ride and it was a lovely place to relax and rejuvenate. The kids loved the board games and roasting marshmallows on the fire. Anna was a wonderful host, accommodating us last minute. Highly recommended.

Two Bedroom Country Cottage
What an amazing property, I was so delighted when I arrived!! I couldn’t recommend this property enough. Great stay and I will be staying again

Clyde Cottage - The Guest Rest
Very clean, warm and cosy cottage. Lovely decor and linens. Beautiful setting, pretty gardens. Everything was well appointed. Very handy to the town centre, everything within walking distance. Our hosts checked in with us to ensure we had gotten in OK. We would highly recommend this cottage. We had a wonderful relaxing time.

Arrow Junction Cottage
We loved our stay a fave spot. James was super responsive to any query. We loved the location for morning walks and proximity to all the things we wanted to do. Would definitely stay again. A wood burner would be the cherry on top. 🤩🥰

" The Cottage - Comfortable and Private "
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.

Fox's Retreat, Arrowtown
We adore Fox's Retreat. It is, without a doubt, our favourite Airbnb experience in New Zealand, and we'll visit as often as possible in the future. The location is perfect. The Arrowtown Autumn Festival should be on everyone's bucket list.

The Old Orchard Cottage
Beautiful home, so lovely to have the fire set. Ready to be lit on arrival . Ideal location for my daughter’s wedding. The host was fantastic, easy to deal with. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend the Vulcan hotel for meals and drinks.

★★★ Arrowtown Charming Cottage ★★★
Beautiful cozy house in a great location. We stayed for the Autumn Festival and the location was perfect. Andrew was very helpful and provided a portacot and high chair for my little one. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Thank you, Andrew

Cozy Cottage on Begg Lane
We had a lovely stay at your place and truly enjoyed the experience.

Cosy Cottage in stunning Wanaka close to Town
Magical stay in Wanaka. We adored Bella's place which suited us so well. Thank for the excellent communication and the wonderfully warm and homely feel your place has. Oh, and the magnificent Autumn weather too! Can't wait to bring the rest of the family next time. Thank you Bella.
