The Gables - Stunning Waterfront Apartment

AnneRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Kelly’s place is wonderful. It is a home away from home. Very well equipped. The location is perfect, overlooking the water in charming Kororareka Russell. Our stay was too short! We highly recommended Kelly’s place and will be back.

Limitless Peaceful Water Views-Authentic Retreat

NeilRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Mark’s AirBnB is an experience rather than a stay. Is a combination of coastal rural Nz right on the doorstep (short boat ride away) from a bustling town Raglan where there are 5 star restaurants, super markets and everything you would need or expect. And the accomodation itself is nestled on a cliff top with 180 views of the harbour and if Raglan. Private, the feeling of seclusion and neighbour free - the best of both worlds made better by a host that balances your needs with respectful distance. Make a pizza in the wood fired oven and then warm your bones in the spa boat and arching the harbour u til the sun melts away listening to birds evening song. We can’t wait to head back and hopefully catch the big uncle of the 12 lb snapper we caught in the raglan harbour!!! Outstanding place.

Our family had the best stay! Everybody from our babies to the grandparents had everything catered for them. Liz was a fantastic host and made sure we were all set days before we arrived. The home is beautifully located and well cared for, perfect for families. Would highly recommend staying here, definitely booking again in the future.

Lakeside Escape

KayRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Bonnie’s apartment was absolutely beautiful with stunning view of Lake Wakatipu. Check in was a breeze with the detailed instructions provided, and the apartment was clean and well maintained. We traveled with our 1yr old and it has all the necessary amenities. The apartment also has access to the trail which links to Queenstown town centre. Highly recommend Bonnie’s apartment!

Fabulous hosts, lovely accommodation. We stayed for three nights, and all loved it including our puppy. If we didn't have to be back home for things, we would've extended our stay by a couple more nights. I'm sure we will be back again though. Thanks for the lovely stay

The location of the air bnb is right next to the harbor area and many things are within walking distance. This was a great location, clean and the host was so easy to work with. I would rent this unit again and I highly recommend it to others.

5 Star Beachfront Living.

SantanaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We loved staying here! We were able to communicate with the hosts with ease. The Airbnb is within walking distance of restaurants, grocery stores and everything in between. Irene is really accomodating and had come down to check on us to see if we needed anything which was nice. The facilities were great. Personally, the pictures don’t do the property justice! We were pleasantly surprised at how spacious and homely it was. Most definitely would stay here again if I’m in the area next time😊
