Brookhaven cottage with Luxury Outdoor Tub
Thank you Lynda & Nigel. This air bnb is unique in so many ways. It is absolutely 5 star and we would have no hesitation in recommending this private stand alone house as a place to stay. Thank you again

Arches Cottage. Free Hot tub No cleaning fee
A very comfortable home away from home, and lovely location.

Alpine Hideaway - 2 bedrooms
We enjoyed staying in a cozy space that was just a few minutes drive outside of town.

Kowhai Cottages - Rustic Charm & Stargazing Oasis
We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at the cottage. It was so cosy and everything had been thought of - comfortable bed, skylight for stargazing, outdoor bath and even slippers. We appreciated all the baby items that were set up and the toys and books. It’s in a great location and a short drive to so many great walks and scenic spots. Thank you Sean & Jana for creating such a special place.

Harbourside Studio Apartment 'seven'
Funky little annexe to stay in. Loved the welcome basket of freshly baked bread and eggs. It was a chilly week in Dunedin but the heater in bedroom did the job to make it cosy. Kerry was very welcoming and friendly. Had a great bike ride on the cycle path. Would like to stay in summer next time.

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.

Organic Oasis.

The bad under the stars is a must, the nature surrounding is amazing, the peaceful of the area is a gift for the heart and the little cute cottage is a home feeling!! highly recommended, definitely i will comeback

Snowshoe Cottage
Clare’s place was fantastic. So so well appointed with everything you could possibly need - it was so well considered. The location was stunning and perfect for a chilled cosy weekend in front of the log burner. Instructions for check in and the house itself were super easy to follow and Clare was brilliant for communication. Highly recommend adding on the spa pool for a relaxing soak overlooking a gorgeous view.

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.

Brighton Beach Bach
Lovely cottage, private parking, peaceful, we found the beds very comfortable, new heat pump + electric blankets kept us nice + warm, great amenities, the shower was awesome ! a short walk to local beach, my wife and I loved it.

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!

'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!

Queenstowns Country Cottage, 12min from CBD.
This cottage was absolutely perfect for our needs! We had our 1 year old with us and wanted a child friendly location near Queenstown but not in the high traffic areas. Not only did this tick those boxes, but it was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. We were 15min drive from anything we wanted to do and got to enjoy the beauty of the countryside + fresh eggs!!

Character Harbour Retreat
Great shower pressure, well stocked kitchen, comfy bed, grass for the dog. It felt like a real home with lots of basics in case you forgot something. Hard to find the driveway and get up it, but once you've done it once you're good to go. A bit remote from shops, but that's a good thing. It was so peaceful and the views were amazing. Particularly the sunrise.

Family Cottage at Longbourne Lodge (sleeps 7)
We were greeted and taken to the accommodation. Peter was great explained easiest way to town. When my mum left her walking stick behind Peter contacted us immediately. We had a wonderful night an the scenery was beautiful.

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.

★★★ 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

Central Peach Queenstown
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!

World Famous! Sunny Dunedin house. Free parking.
Looks cute from the street yet more spacious inside. Fabulous heater! We went on coldest day of the year and it didn’t take long to warm up. Nice touches of interesting decor, books, games and dvds. This was our second time to this place so that says something.

Cheerful and relaxing 2 bedroom cottage in Te Anau
Homely and comfortable stay with great amenities!

Sylvia's Cottage Retreat
Had the most relaxing, rejuvenating weekend at Sylvia's Cottage. The accommodation is as described, but I also say that the cottage feels like a warm hug. Comfortable beds and furniture, easy access to the beach and headland walks. This cottage was absolutely perfect for our long weekend reboot!
