House holiday rentals in Te Waipounamu / South Island

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.

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.

Clint and Anita’s home was Ana amazing place to stay while we were in Queenstown! The views from the bedroom and the hot tub were something out of a movie! The home was private, and clean and tidy. Clint and Anita were extremely friendly and responsive and our stay in their home was excellent. Would definitely stay again when we return to Queenstown.

We had an incredible stay at the Lake House! Jody and Barney have done an amazing job including extra special touches that make this stay remarkable in a truly beautiful part of the world. Jody was great for local suggestions and helped organise a birthday cake for my husband prior to our arrival. Unfortunately the guests before us were inconsiderate of the off-grid setup and did not adhere to the house rules and we arrived with no power or running water. Jody went out of her way to correct this, supplying additional amenities, a meal voucher and crediting us some of the night fee while a generator helped to restore power overnight. Thank you for sharing this beautiful space! We hope to be back one day.

We loved staying there, great for kids with sporting equipment and big backyard with soccer goals. Highly recommend.

What a beautiful home in a unique location. Our three generations gathered from three countries for a lovely 5 days together in Christchurch. The views from all levels of this home are over the top. With high end cookware, two dishwashers and (my personal favorite and usual airbnb pet peeve) sharp knives, we grilled and gathered for “dinners in” every night instead of going out. Great access to governors bay pier and coffee/pizza just a short walk away. Loved this place so much and would return in a heartbeat.

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!

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.

Drew and Sally were the sweetest! They made the effort to meet us when we arrived, showed us around and explained how certain items worked. Their pantry was full and they provided us milk, a loaf of bread, and farm fresh eggs which we enjoyed a lot! There were two rooms: the first was with one big bed suitable for a couple, and the second room was huge and housed 4 beds comfortably. We really enjoyed our stay and Koa, the friendliest dog was a bonus! Before we left, we requested for a short tour around the farm and understood the sustainable practices that the family is so passionate about. We cannot thank you enough, Drew and Sally, we hope to be back someday!

Was way too short, beautiful, especially with the fresh snow. Wonderful place to stay!! Fire place nice touch and plenty of wood!!

We loved our stay at John’s. We arrived in the dark so did not get to see how beautiful it was outside till the next morning. The house was extremely cozy, and despite a raging storm outside we felt warm and comfortable inside. The power went out due to the storm and John kindly offered his own kitchen for use, which although we didn’t take up the offer, was greatly appreciated. The tubs were a great spot for having a morning coffee and watching the birds. The number of Tui’s was incredible. I would absolutely recommend anyone to stay.

Fantastic stay in beautiful surroundings. The house is really relaxing with plenty of space for everyone. Great dining options inside or outside to enjoy the weather and views. Being able to see the stars from bed was magical. Would thoroughly recommend. To top everything off we saw dolphins from the beach on our last morning.

Such a beautiful place, the views were outstanding. Comfy beds, cosy fire, everything we could possibly need in the kitchen. We loved the way Lauren has styled the house too!

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.

Absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful home, surrounded by stunning mountains on one side and views to the ocean on the other. The house is clean, well maintained and has everything you need. It’s very private and peaceful but also feels safe and it’s close to town and local attractions. We just loved the neighbouring cows, sheep and goats and enjoyed the heated outdoor area. We also appreciated the fireplace which kept the house very warm and cozy! Sarah is a lovely host who lives nearby, she greeted us on arrival and checked in on us when the weather got wild to make sure we were ok and had everything we needed. Excellent communication and easy self check in. We really hope to return again someday, highly recommend!

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 ☺️

What a great spot, perfect place to stay to experience living on the west coast!

We loved staying here and it felt like we were at home! It had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay . Clare was really accommodating and if we’re ever in the area again, we’d want to come back here.

Lovely place - private, spacious and well furnished. It had a fire place, which provided heat in the living area but was not sufficient to warm the rooms. And it was the start of winter so it was cold. Thankfully she provided 4 layers of blankets, and a super heated water tank.

We had a wonderful stay at Shaun and Helen’s air b&b. We particularly loved the wood burner. It was so cosy and warm and exactly what we wanted for a rainy long weekend. We recommend seeing the sea lions at Sandfly Bay, visiting the Cove Cafe, and 1908 restaurant down the road. Thank you again and we would highly recommend to friends and family!

It’s a great place to spend a few days, as the views are spectacular with horses and sheep around the property! We surely enjoyed our stay at the place! Just that all the washrooms are clubbed together into a large one, with stalls for shower and toilets! It looked like a great place for hosting any event or such… Overall we did enjoy our stay thanks to the amazingly beautiful surroundings!

absolutely stunning place. Worth every penny spent. it has everything that you ask for, great rooms, great views, boat loads of amenities, huge collection of games, DVDs, books. the room upstairs provides you opportunity for Star gazing while lying on bed. perfect for family. my kid loved this home the most with so many things to do. absolutely perfect in all sense

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...

Tracy’s home was the perfect getaway for our family. The house is not only beautiful but also incredibly comfortable. Traveling with two infants, we had a few extra needs, and Tracy went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Communication was clear, quick, and helpful throughout our stay. We’d happily return in a heartbeat!
