Holiday rentals with a hot tub in Te Waipounamu / South Island

The property was amazing. It was cozy and had everything we needed. The spa overlooking the sea was fabulous, as was the room outside where we could sit and chill and watch the sea, but be warm and cozy. We walked into town for dinner. Wandered along the beach. The interior design was really cool. My husband especially lived the robots on the ceiling. We also enjoyed Hokitika, cafes were great. We went to the National Kiwi Centre which was AMAZING! And also did the zipline at the West Coast Treetop Hikoi and Tower Zipline. Thanks we had a great time. Highly recommend staying here.

Anna’s home is a beautiful, well-kept, and well proportioned house with an absolutely stunning view. We’ve stayed in lots of ‘tiny homes’ but Anna’s truly feels like a proper house, with a separate living room, bedroom, bathroom, and generous outdoor seating area. The home was pristine, and well stocked with everything we’d need. We particularly appreciated the binoculars for birdwatching on lake manapouri. Bed was large and comfy, we got great sleep with zero noise. Shower was hot with good power. We took a day trip to Doubtful Sound (absolutely spectacular; you must do), and we were able to walk from Anna’s place to the harbour, making the trip effortless. You can also take a short walk to lake manapouri and enjoy a swim. Anna was a wonderful host, and was very kind and considerate in her messaging. We loved staying in Anna’s place and would love to stay there again. 11 out of 10!

A lovely, cosy home. spotlessly clean, with all the amenities you might need. Only a short drive to Diamond Head for convenient shops and takeaways, as well as a picturesque ferry ride across the harbour to Lyttleton. A lovely spot!

Hands down the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at. Everything was spotless, beautifully lit, and thoughtfully designed. The hot tub was incredible, especially with those unreal views—absolutely breathtaking. We genuinely didn’t want to leave and wished we had booked more nights. Brad was a fantastic host, and the whole experience felt peaceful, private, and perfect. Picton itself completely stole our hearts—such a special little town. I’m honestly dreaming of moving here and opening a barbershop someday. If you get the chance to stay here, take it. You won’t regret it.

We had a great time. Would stay here again any time we are in the area. Very peaceful.

We had such a wonderful time at the lodge. It was so peaceful, cosy and neat. We really enjoyed our short break, a nice getaway and they basically provided all the necessities to make it feel more like home. It was perfect. We even decided to extend our stay as we love it so much. Hope to be back again one day 🌻

Beautiful place, stunning view and nice and tidy home. Shouted my partner for his birthday as we’d been a couple times before and this place never disappoints! Relaxed in the spa and watched the sunset. Perfect stay for a couple getaway or to bring family and friends. Look forward to staying here again ☺️

Book this home! This home is beautiful and modern with amazing views. Micheal was very responsive and we enjoyed the fresh eggs. Walkable to a small shop with daily needs- meats, veggies/fruits, etc. walkable to 2 restaurants as well. My 5 and 7 year olds loved the hot tube.

Luxurious home with an amazing view! Perfect for a family or 3 couples. Would definitely stay again.

Carla and Chris were excellent communicators, very nice and kind guests and jumped to anything I didn’t know how to use ect. Very kind people. Thankyou Carla and Chris! 🙂

Awesome relaxing home. We stayed over a colder long weekend, but the house was warm and cosy. The log burner was great. Fantastic place for a family to come and relax. Well supplied with appliances and provisions and Alvin is a great host. Can't wait to return in the warmer months.

The house has it all - Great view overlooking Lake Wakatipu and peninsula, hot tub, garage, comfy beds, electric blanket, fireplace, enough bathrooms, well equipped kitchen, grill. I even saw a ski dryer room in the garage too. Extra clean! I’ve stayed in many big houses on Airbnb, especially in New Zealand. They’re all clean, but this house has really wowed me in details. The host team is very professional, responsive and kind. Would totally recommend it to anyone visiting Queenstown, I trust that you will have a great time like my friends and I did.

we had a lovely 2 night get away staying here. highly recommend.

A very well appointed property in beautiful Akaroa. She is a well loved property, beautiful location and filled with great memories. A couldn’t speak more highly of the property managers who went above and beyond for our stay. Special shout out to Jenna who made Mother’s Day so special. Would certainly stay again.

Wow... That was our main word for this stay. The location and view was incredible. It instantly felt like a real relaxing getaway. We noticed some issues around cleanliness that I will share directly with the host so that they are aware, as this place deserves the best! The hot tub was an absolute highlight. Such a friendly and responsive host to chat to online. We had a fabulous time here and we definitely hope to return to this oasis on the hill!

This was our second visit to Atatu and we weren't disappointed. This is a truly beautiful place to stay. The house is fantastic with every facility you could possibly need. A place for total relaxation with pool, spa and space. Beautiful countryside and the sounds of nature on your doorstep. Panoramic views across rolling hills of olive and pine nut trees out to the ocean beyond. If you like to cook then you'll find everything you need in the well appointed kitchen. Lots of dining space both inside and out. Basia is the ultimate host. Informative, helpful, proactive, doing everything she can to make sure your stay is perfect. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return a third time next year.

Such a lush weekend getaway!! Beautiful scenes and so quiet

Amazing views, loved it being secluded. Couldnt fault anything! Would love to come back

Very relaxing and well thought out, the host was very accommodating. Highly recommended a couple nights, the late checkout makes leaving so much more relaxing too.

Roomy, comfortable unit with great kitchen and beds. Ez parking. Great starlight! Ocean surf in the distance.

It was an amazing stay!! The views were everything. Saw the sunset and woke up to a beautiful sunrise too. Loved the skylights in the room too. Everything was exceptional and we loved each and every second we spent there! Totally worth it 🥰

Twizel was seemingly just a small stop in a 2.5 week NZ vacation, but Jana’s cabin made it truly unforgettable! It’s so lovely to have such a large and warm space when visiting a new town. Close to town center and walking distance from the beautiful Twizel River reserve. Thank you for making our time in Twizel so special! ♥️

Would definitely recommend Craig and Ri’s place if you are looking at seafront properties to stay for a night! The house had a small kitchen great for light cooking, a separate bedroom with plush bed and bathroom with shower amenities as well as a functioning heater to keep us warm! The living room has another heater as well and sofas are comfortable too. The walk to the hot tub shack was short (probably less than 30 seconds) and it is kept constant at 38 deg c, which is great during this chilly period! Overall, would recommend Craig and Ri’s place for anyone coming by to stay and looking to stroll along the beach.

This is an incredible Airbnb. If you are looking for somewhere to base yourself so you can sample some of the most breathtaking landscapes, nature and biodiversity in the world, this is it. The views from the deck alone are mind-blowing - rugged, snow capped mountains all around; at night there is so little light pollution that you can see the Milky Way!! Dan's home is stylish, tasteful, very comfortable, warm, super clean and exactly as the photos show. It has all modern conveniences - fast internet and wifi , full kitchen with a big island and large fridge, indoor and outdoor wood fireplaces, outdoor spa, a huge shower with a rainfall shower head, and floor to ceiling windows throughout. The bedrooms have blockout blinds for complete darkness when you want it. I spent two weeks here and had an amazing time exploring the Otago region, hiking, sight seeing, reading and relaxing and Dan's Airbnb was a huge part of this. Dan is very friendly and extremely easy to communicate with.
