Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Modern cosy 2 bedroom cottage
This place is amazing! Set in a terrific location this new and well equipped house is very nicely furnished indeed, and super comfortable. Oh, and the hot tub under the star was wonderful. I would highly recommend this place and the host Rachael was super helpful with getting my daughter to the start of a marathon race when our flight was delayed. Thanks for an awesome stay.

Alpine Hideaway - 2 bedrooms
Nice cottage, however seemed to be next to a number of cottages which were being used for a contracting business with workers trucks and sheds around.

Cozy 3 Bedroom Cottage with Pool
Great Villa in a wondeful location. Very good value for money

Wanaka Cottage
We spent a lovely weekend in this delightful cottage. The barbeque and spa pool got plenty of action along with the outdoor seating area. Jacqueline and Ash are great hosts and our roast lamb was made even more delicious by the rosemary fresh from the garden. Easy access to Wanaka township and surrounding attractions. Highly recommend and we'd definitely stay again.

Organic Oasis.
Really unique, very peaceful and private, but close to Lake Hawea and Wanaka. We stayed one night and this was perfect for us, to save a day trip from queenstown.

Manorburn Cottage Rural Alexandra
Had a great time, right on the Otago rail trail bike track, a few kms ride from town. Place was clean and tidy.

Coronet Point
This is a wonderful home to stay - very much a home away from home. The location is brilliant easy to get to Queenstown, Arrowtown, Wanaka and all Central Otago locations. Highly recommend Lisa's place.

Amazing Lake Views at Te Kohanga Rua
Beautiful little cottage with quality furniture and furnishings. A beautiful view for a few days retreat

Creagh Homestead, mountain getaway
We came here for part of our honeymoon. We were blown away! The best location we’ve ever stayed at. It gets easily 5/5 stars, I wish I could rate it higher. Very easy check in and out and great communication. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back for another visit!!

Queensberry cottage
Had a great stay at Bee's place. If you want to stay away from town and feel like you(and Family) want to have the whole surroundings to yourself this is a great place. Also, it's not too far away from Wanaka. I will definitely consider booking again

Clyde Thyme - A quintessential holiday house
Thank you Colin! What a great place to stay after seven days biking. Easy to find and let ourselves in. It was spacious and clean, It was easy to sort out our gear, lovely to cook a home made meal, and the beds comfy. With the decor from the 80's, it was like stepping back into a holiday home we used to visit in Tasmania. Thank you for having the space clean and ready for us and for your communication before and after our stay. Wishing you all the best of family holidays which is what it felt like staying there.

Queenstowns Country 2-bed Cottage, 12min from CBD.
This cottage was absolutely perfect for our needs! We had our 1 year old with us and wanted a child friendly location near Queenstown but not in the high traffic areas. Not only did this tick those boxes, but it was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. We were 15min drive from anything we wanted to do and got to enjoy the beauty of the countryside + fresh eggs!!

Creagh Homestead & Cottage
You’d struggle to find a better view of Arrowtown and the valley heading to Qtown. Would love to have been able to stay longer and enjoy the accommodation more. Jeremy was easy to reach, super friendly and very accommodating - we had an additional guest join us last minute and Jeremy happily brought down sheets for their bed late on a Friday evening. Highly recommend

Arrow Junction Cottage
We loved our stay a fave spot. James was super responsive to any query. We loved the location for morning walks and proximity to all the things we wanted to do. Would definitely stay again. A wood burner would be the cherry on top. 🤩🥰

Wanaka Private Escape
Jone is a warm-hearted landlord. On rainy days, he personally received us and accompanied us to the housing resources to give us a detailed introduction to the house and the surrounding area. The independent house is in the woods, with fresh air, birdsong and fragrant flowers, quiet and peaceful. We had a good time here.

Fox's Retreat, Arrowtown
This was the last AirBNB of our 2month stay in NZ South Island and we clearly saved the best till last. An amazing renovation of an historic cottage, it manageS to combine the very best of modern interior decoration with an easy comfort that made it feel just like home. Sarah is the most generous host providing all the ripe fruit from the wonderful garden and a fully equipped and stocked kitchen. It’s less than a 5 minute walk into the center of Arrowtown, take the walk there to get fresh croissants for breakfast. I could go on and on but suffice to say, you will never find a better AirBNB.

Central Peach Queenstown
Very cozy house with a lot of family atmosphere

Orchard House: An Oasis in the Heart of the Desert
Our stay was great, we were a family of four adults and it suited us perfectly. The cottage was just as described and Jackie was a welcoming, friendly host. Everything was clean and tidy, and in great working order. The surroundings were peaceful and just a short drive from Cromwell itself. It was a great base from which to explore Arrowtown and Queenstown as well. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Historical Hicks Cottage
We absolutely loved this unique restored cottage! You could really feel the history and soul of the property, the owner has done an incredible job with the restoration, retaining so much of the original feel whilst seamlessly incorporating modern design and comforts. We have never stayed anywhere like it! Super warm and homely with a unique mix of luxury and history - this property is truly one of a kind. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer!

Crown Range Historic Stables
We were blown away upon entering the property and seeing the home. Perfect setting and beautiful view from the back of the property. Things got even better upon entering this home with an incredible interior founded on the rock face of the building. We felt like we were transported 100 years back in time while having modern conveniences.

Stunning views - 2 bedroom cottage
Spotless, quiet home in a beautiful location with all day sun and views. Fiona has set the cottage up very thoughtfully and she was a lovely host to communicate with. This was a perfect stay for us and we didn't want to leave. Highly recommend this little gem.
