Holiday rentals with lake access in New Zealand

We made a huge mistake when only booking this place for part of our stay. My thought was to jump around the South Island with my family at a couple stops. Had I known it was this awesome, then I would’ve booked our whole time at Anna’s. This place is exactly what my family loves. The kids will definitely be complaining about where we stay next. This property is AWESOME.

We absolutely adored staying at Te Awa Lodge on our recent trip to Wanaka. It was a gorgeous riverside home with an amazing hot tub and sauna, which we loved using after our hikes. Graeme and Carolyn were such warm, welcoming hosts and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The property is easily accessible to Wanaka (10-15 min) and Mount Aspiring (1 hour) . Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

Great place great location. The only thing is the entrance is a bit difficult to spot what makes it worse is that it’s at around the cornering where car going quite fast and at night it’s very dark! Overall we had a great time staying at the place! Kids enjoyed the ping pong 🏓 that’s the bonus

Absolutely stunning!!! From stepping into this beautiful space we were welcomed to peaceful music and a warm space to invite us in. We were in awe of the view and spent most of the afternoon sitting with a cuppa and looking out. The beds were very comfortable and warm and the shower was also excellent. Would definitely stay again and would highly recommend to anyone.

A lovely house to base yourself in Central Otago. Spotless and spacious and very toasty warm in the colder weather. Keiran was easy to communicate with and helpful operating instructions for the appliances were on hand. Plenty of room and although not required by us was good to see a cot and highchair for those with small families.

We love the place, it was what it looks like on the photos. Just looking at the view outside the house is amazing and the house is spectacular in all aspects. Perfect for this time of Easter where we dont do anything and just bond with the family and be at peace with nature. Terri was very responsive to my text. Our communication was seamless. Would highly recommend this place to my friend and family.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Queenstown! The panoramic views were breathtaking, and the location was ideal to explore Queenstown and the surrounding area. The house was spotless, spacious, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Queenstown. It truly is a traveler's haven! Thank you Michael!

The Starling Box is definitely the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in! Janina is an exceptional host - she gave us a lovely, warm welcome and showed us all around her beautiful, modern home. The home itself is clean, well appointed and has all the comforts of home. We appreciated the extra touches that are evident throughout the house that make everything cozy and comfy - from warm blankets to a well kitchen stocked with delicious breakfast items, coffee, tea and snacks. The space is peaceful and inviting, and you can feel the love that went into every detail of this fantastic Airbnb. Thank you Janina, for welcoming us with open arms and making our stay in Rotorua so wonderful. We will definitely be back!

The absolutely breathtaking views, just a few minutes' walk to Queenstown center. Deborah provided lots of helpful information. The room was well-equipped and incredibly cozy — I’d choose it again next time. Highly recommended!

Vicki was very welcoming and helpful. We had a lovely stay and the property had everything we needed. We really appreciated the peaceful location and beautiful views. Thank you, Vicki

Loved the place. It was exactly as described and better than I could imagine. Everything was easy and smooth. Lyndal is always there to help you with anything. Overall, great way to make our Queenstown trip memorable.

Now this is a real lakefront property! We walked in and were greeted by the stunning view and a squeaky clean place that is also very homey. All the basics you’ll need in kitchen/bathroom/home are available too. It’s truly a gem and I think we’ll be a regular here now that this place has set the bar higher. The communication with Ash and the team was seamless too which made our stay even more comfortable. Just in case you are very particular when it comes to using airbnb’s washing machine like me, this one passes the test - it’s as clean as I have at home and you won’t think twice about using it. 😅

Perfect place to stay in Queenstown. Beautifully finished and decorated to a high standard. Well equipped. Did need to negotiate some stairs to enter and exit and the cleaners wandering in 45 mins early was a bit disconcerting. Nevertheless, high recommended and would certainly stay again.

Perfect crash pad right on the lake with everything that was needed for a weeks stay.

this is the best location I have stayed at. I still can't believe how cheap it was! they could be charging a lot more for this kind of quality. Great deal, I would reccomend

It’s such a comfortable and cozy place at a very convenient location! Kirsty is an amazing host! She replied to our messages promptly and even turned on the lights for us as we arrived at night. We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely come back when we visit Queenstown again! Thank you so much Kirsty!

loved this place!! the views were gorgeous!! also nice to stay outside the craziness of Queenstown

I loved this cottage. I felt right at home. I liked the extra touches of fruit and cereal along with a great shower. I enjoyed being close to the lake for an evening walk. I would definitely stay again.

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.

Beautifully kept farm home in pristine country side. Close enough to surrounding towns to enjoy their amenities. We were graced with snow fall for the duration of our stay which made the home even more cosy to be in.

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.

Very roomy and comfortable accommodation. Large bathroom with a fabulous tub. We used the washer and dryer…very handy. Heated floors kept the place warm and cosy. Kitchen is well equipped. Would stay there again. Thanks Peter and Yanli.

The view was beautiful and ever changing. We must have taken 30 photos from the one spot of the differing conditions. We were happy living in. Bach 63 had everything we needed, lots of linen, coffee etc. We were still finding things on the last day, a therapeutic hot pack. . We loved our stay in Bach 63. . Thank you Lisa, well done.

Absolutely fabulous place. Photos don’t do it justice. The views are amazing. Quiet but walkable location. Very well stocked. The only thing missing were screens on the windows and sliders. I got eaten by sandflies and a white tail spider. Wear deet even (or especially) while sleeping.
