Wanaka Lakeview Holiday Batch
An absolutely amazing stay that is super cozy. Bath items are provided and we loved the shower gel thay smells really nice. Had slight wifi connection issue for the TV, but Janet was quick to provide clear instructions to resolve it. Highly recommended for family of 4.

Spacious home, key to community Pool/spa/gym
Place was perfect for us for a long holiday . The location was perfect and the house had enough space for all of us and for the dogs . Yard was great and loved the privacy and the area. Did not realize how beautiful the place was until we went for walks and explored . So close to the lake and to great swimming spots. Would love to come back.

Arrowtown Alpine Retreat - Sleeps 10
We loved staying there, great for kids with sporting equipment and big backyard with soccer goals. Highly recommend.

Takapō Retreat | Lake Tekapo
A beautiful home with a truly spectacular view!! It felt so peaceful to sit in front of the fireplace and just look out over the lake. It was more than enough space for the 5 of us to really relax. Hot tub was a great bonus!

Crib Foradori
Place was great! Was perfect space and modern. Was so great for kids and us. Just a reminder that the key pick up is all the way in town and about ten minutes drive from the house and you have to drop it off

LUXURY HOME WITH LAKE AND MOUNTAIN VIEWS
Julianne’s home was perfect for our stay. Situated in a superb location to enjoy all that is special about Wanaka. Fabulous views over Lake Wanaka and the mountains. Magical sunsets. Beautiful surrounds all walkable. Peaceful neighbourhood. A very spacious and comfortable home with everything we needed and more. Thank you Julianne for being a superhost. Very easy to communicate with and clear instructions before arrival much appreciated.

Luxurious Mountain Retreat
This host was very quick to respond in the property was a very spacious two bed 1.5 bath there was also a very fancy Jacuzzi, which we spent some time in you can get great views from the couch. Also from the Jacuzzi was also a relatively big size pool which in the summer is very nice to cool off in in total, I recommend this place and would stay here one back in Queenstown 10 out of 10.

Charming Cardrona Alpine Villa
Fantastic location, clean and tidy. Lovely and warm on cooler evenings. So handy being 2 minutes walk to the Cadrona pub for dinner.

Emma's hospitality was the best I have ever seen she is kind and very accommodative the place was clean and feels home away from home. recommend this property to anyone who is looking forward to stay in queenstown for a holiday trip

Modern Couples pad with Dazzling Water View
Thanks so much Helen & Pete. This place had everything. Of course it had everything you'd expect as per the listing - shampoo, conditioner, tea, coffee... but they've thought of everything you might need - breakfast, condiments for self catering, umbrellas just in case, plus an array of brochures for tourist attractions. So warm & comfortable, and as promised the view are amazing day and night. Thankyou!

Tussock Fields, Twizel. EPIC mountain views!
A wonderful base to explore this beautiful region.

Four Peaks - A-frame Cabin
Sally's place was perfect for us.. The home was comfortable, clean and warm.. Kitchen was good to have with all the amenities.... The hot tub was Gold.. Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains from the home and lots of forest walking/ mtn biking trails close by.. Lake Hawea close by was really nice too.. Sally was helpful with any questions we had including recomending the best route for us to drive up there from Queenstown which was an unreal scenic easy drive to get to the home.. We'd definatley go back and would highly recommend to anyone else considering a stay here...

Stay at Queenstown - Avalon Views-Romantic Getaway
Hands down, Michelle’s place is the most glittering gem in Queenstown - squeaky clean and spick and span; - amazing spa tub that commands a fabulous view; - quiet and reclusive, but easily accessible to the town; - Responsive host; - Facilities just as described, almost brand new, wonderful

Pure Lakefront, Corner Peak Cottage
We had a fantastic stay! The cottage is incredibly well-equipped, and we especially loved the fireplace, which made the evenings warm and cozy. The view is absolutely stunning, probably one of the best lakefront locations on Lake Hawea. The hosts were also very responsive and friendly, always quick to help with any questions. We would love to come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort and amazing scenery!

Skylight House with luxury cedar outdoor bath#
Thank you Simon for offering this incredible space. I stayed for one night with my partner and we both absolutely loved it. It has everything you need, new washer / dryer, fully furnished and modern kitchen, warm heat pump and an very comfortable bed but beyond this, it has an intangible cozy feeling with the wood fire and my favourite outdoor bathtub. The home was very warm and it was -6 degrees outside. The bathtub was the cherry on top. Very hot and spacious, easily fitting 2 guests. Awesome contrast with the cold outside. Simon as a host was fantastic. Responded fast to any questions we had. Simon went out of his way to help melt the water that had frozen the bath taps, checking multiple times on the day of our visit. Really appreciated that as I feel other hosts would’ve left it frozen. Cheers Simon!

Luxury Lodge, 5*Lake Views & 10 min Walk to Town
Incredible house with the most amazing views. The fantastic floor plan was perfect for our large group, comfortable beds and great shower pressure. Sally is a super thoughtful and responsive host and even had ballons and welcome treats for a birthday celebration. 10 minute walk to town was very convenient. Highly reccomend and would stay again.

Luxe Queenstown Home, views, Hot tub, free parking
Such a beautiful location and home. If I ever come back I’m staying here again, I’ve already recommended it to all of my travelling friends. It’s close to the vineyards, the extreme activities locations and only 10 min from Queenstown. Really cute local food trucks and such a nice place to stay.

Luxury On Wynyard, 4 Bedrooms, Stunning Views
This is hands down the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in! The house is absolutely stunning—spacious, immaculately clean, and filled with thoughtful touches that made our stay so comfortable. The highlight, without a doubt, is the breathtaking view. Waking up to such a gorgeous scenery every morning felt like a dream. This beautiful home made our first trip to Queenstown truly unforgettable! My family couldn’t stop talking about how special this place was! The location was perfect, offering both tranquility and easy access to nearby attractions. Every little detail, from the cozy bedding to the well-equipped kitchen, was just perfect. I can’t recommend this place enough—it’s truly a hidden gem. If you’re looking for a memorable getaway, don’t hesitate to book here. We’ll definitely be back!

Charming Lakeview Home with Remarkable Views!
Beautiful view in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Our family had a great time here. The host welcomed us with a bottle of wine. Would stay again for sure.

Carrowmore House
What an absolutely beautiful place to stay!!! The entire house was so tastefully decorated, especially the kitchen! The house was set in beautiful peaceful gardens and only a short walk to town. It was a cold day when we arrived and our host had lit the fire for us and had left plenty of firewood at the back door for us to use. We remained lovely and warm for the length of our stay. Everything about our stay in this beautiful home was perfect.

Mt Rosa Retreat
We had a wonderful stay! Our hosts were welcoming and responsive to any questions we had. We felt right at home. The property itself is beautiful, thoughtfully designed, clean, and fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare our own meals. It struck the perfect balance: private and peaceful, yet just a short drive or bike ride to some good restaurants. We especially appreciated the little touches that made the space so comfortable. The highlight for my family was Rusty — the hosts’ friendly dog who quickly became a daily companion and source of joy for my child. Watching them play together was such a delight and added an unexpected charm to our visit. This was easily one of our favourite BnB experiences and we would not hesitate to return. Highly recommended for families looking for a restful, well-located getaway with heart.

Archtecturally Designed Home with Stunning Views
This is the most striking house in the most beautiful location I have stayed in New Zealand. If you have a big group and are looking for something posh, this is a terrific place. We felt right at home.

Private cottage with stunning mountain views
A fantastic place to stay!! We had such a wonderful time here. Very relaxing, peaceful and private. The view is spectacular! An easy 10min drive to the centre of Wanaka. Lesley and David were wonderful hosts and have thought of every detail, including ensuring our kitchen supplies were freshly restocked every day. Would highly recommend!
