Shore Rise, lake and mountain views Queenstown
Awesome place to stay, great location. Can walk down to the lake, even a wee jetty. Would stay again thank you

Alpine luxury
The view is really beautiful, comfortable apartment with everything you need. The apartment is value comparison with other places in Queenstown. Thank you, would definitely stay again as felt like home.

Exciting Queenstown
Probably our favourite Airbnb ever. It ticks all the boxes. It has a perfect location: outside the town but walkable to town in about 25 minutes on the lakeside Queenstown Track, and it’s on the slope below the main road into town, so you don’t see or hear the traffic. It has a gorgeous view of the lake and mountains that you could look at for hours. It has comfortable beds. It has a fully equipped kitchen, with helpful labels on the cupboards and drawers so you’re not constantly trying to remember where things are. It’s easy to get in, with access by code so you don’t have to worry about keys or cards. It has convenient parking. It has good bikes that you can take out - we rode to the Kelvin Peninsula on the other side of the bay. There’s lots of room to spread out. The host’s representative replied right away when we had questions. It’s not cheap but it is so worth it.

Awa Apartment by Sotheby's Luxury Rental Homes
Excellent communication with the host. The house is incredible Great location. 2 minute walk to downtown Across the street from lakefront walkway Super high end design and build. Exceptional value

Riverside Studio all to yourself
What a lovely place. I felt like home. The apartment was clean, modern and cosy.

Central Wanaka Lakeside Condo
We had a great stay in Wanaka. The location was so convenient to walk to the town center and the lake. The views were spectacular! The place was very well outfitted, the linens and beds were so comfy and the baths were clean and convenient. We will definitely be back!

Lake front self-contained quality studio
This is the best reasonable accommodation where you can enjoy a lake view and stay comfortably in Queenstown, where there are not many good hotels. Thanks to the best host, it was the best accommodation I have ever stayed in. I was impressed by the quick and friendly guidance, not only of the accommodation but also of the things to do around the accommodation. He could have been a hotelier. He gave me the best guidance and care!! Thanks to him, I had the best experience in Queenstown. I would like to recommend 👍👍👍

The humble lakehouse
The Lake House is the place to reconnect both with nature and your family. We enjoyed the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets ever! If you want somewhere to build memories, come here. Skimming rocks was our kids’ main new activity. If you stay near a Sunday, try the steam train: The Kingston Flyer, it is walking distance from the house. There is more, the library is not only updated (Dune!!!) but it has a selection for every taste. I never expected to find “Educated”, by Tara Westover, and I did! We all challenged each other to get in the lake, a great experience to look in the depths of that marvel. Can’t wait to return to a place that has sets of towels both for the lake and for the bathroom, kids toys, puzzles, 4K Samsung TV packed with options to watch movies and the like. We hope we can come back, as simple as that. Thanks Jennie!

Queenstown Lakefront Dream | Hot Tub | BBQ |
Travelling with family of 6 plus grandparents. Was a great stay and 5-10 mins from airport and 5-10mins from town depending on traffic. The layout was good for us as we could stay upstairs while the grandparents had the self contained unit downstairs. The main living room was great and had a big window that captured the views amazingly. The outside had a nice little outside space with table and chairs and great on the couple of sunny days. The hottub was good on our ski days and overlooked the water which was nice. The property was clean and functional and had the basics. The bedrooms were on the smaller side but was fine for that style and time of building. One thing to keep in mind is that the driveway is a little harder to get down coming from the south if you have a long wheel base. This is due to the orientation of the hairpin corner. It sometimes hard to get out from during busy times if heading south as you cannot clearly see around the corner and can be dangerous.

Paradise at Pisa
Beautiful lakefront house, and the location and the house were the best! I would definitely stay here again. The host was also very kind. Thanks for a great time!

Lakefront Terrace - Walk to Town
Would recommend to any families requiring the extra room we were a family of 7 adults and 3 kids and we were never on top of each other easy walk to the shops and park

Lakefront, amazing views, spa & 5 min walk to town
Super high end finishes and great location. Thank you so much!

Modern Lakefront Holiday Home
Beautiful place to stay, so good having the waterfront right at the door. we really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay again

Lake View Townhouse
Such an awesome place! We felt right at home ! Super comfortable, clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and even an outdoor gas grill. The view of the lake was amazing! Wish we could have stayed longer. Super close to shopping, restaurants and the airport. Loved the planes flying over the house and coming in . We have already recommended this house to our Kiwi friends and will do the same with friends here in the States when they plan a trip to Queenstown.

Kingston Villa with lake and mountain views.
Absolutely home from home with everything anyone could want for a relaxing and peaceful break. Don't even think about it...... just book it!! Sadly as a Brit we will not be in NZ long enough to repeat the experience.
Waterfront condo accommodation

Fantastic Views!The Point Apartment
A beautiful location. Is a little challenging to pin down (no fault of owner) just with it being on Queenstown’s main road it can be easily missed. But worth the find. Absolutely loved it. Even tho it’s on the main road it’s super peaceful. Can hear the boats on the lake and the planes if ya leave a door or window open, but no highway traffic at all. Highly highly recommend. It’s beautiful.

Absolute Waterfront Studio. Unreal CBD location!
Exactly what we needed for short stay in Queenstown. Great location walking to everything. Host is amazing and extremely responsive! Couldn’t have been better.

Lakeview Haven
Nice bathroom. Loved the hot tub. Nice location by the lake - about a 10 minute drive from town. Just something to note if you are staying in Summer this place doesn't have air-conditioning. We were out all day exploring and by the time we got home the breeze had cooled the place down but if you were planning to hang at the apartment in the afternoon it gets quite hot.

Alpenglow - Q1 Apartments
Really great apartment in a great location. Keren was very responsive and extremely accommodating. Wish we could have stayed longer!!!

Lakefront Twin Studio in Queenstown CBD!
I really appreciated their communication and quick replies! I had a couple day-of questions and they were very attentive - much appreciated.
