Lake Hawea Garden Cabin with Mountain Views
We had a great stay here! The unit had everything we needed. Amanda was so responsive and kind. It was a short walk to the lake and grocery store (with other restaurant and cafes close as well). I would absolutely recommend this stay!

Remarkable View Apartment
The view is beautiful, I wake up from the beautiful view every day, the kitchen facilities are very complete, recommended for travelers who need to cook by themselves. The kitchen and room facilities are very new and clean, so we had a very comfortable and wonderful experience!

Peak-Sportchalet - 2-bedroom Chalet
Really lovely house with a sweet little garden at the back. We were travelling with two small children and it was perfect. A lovely distance from the town and really nice walks nearby. The house was spotless and had super comfy beds and an amazing shower. We would definitely return. Thank you so much for having us!

Secluded Sanctuary, Stunning Mtn Views, nr Wanaka❤
We had a great stay at this wonderful spot! My wife, 11-month old, and I stayed for 4 nights. Cozy, clean, peaceful. Randall and Amanda were welcoming and extremely helpful. Loved the fresh bread, eggs, & jam and the apples and almonds straight off the trees! We were happy to support and experience this sustainable, off-grid farm. Would definitely stay again if we end up back in the area. =)

Sunny & Modern, Garden Cottage
Great place to stay with stunning views and very peaceful. The cottage had everything we needed

Charming self-contained unit
Lovely stay beautifully clean and set up with everything you needed. Easy communication and great location. Would use again.

The Spruce Hus, Studio by the Lake.
John & Anita's place was truly special. Their warm hospitality made us feel completely at home - in fact, this stay was the highlight of our entire trip thanks to their genuine interactions. They thoroughly explained everything we needed and offered valuable local suggestions. Though located outside the city center, we actually enjoyed the scenic commute to Queenstown, also there is a convenient ferry ride nearby to city center . The house was immaculately clean, and Anita's thoughtful touches made our stay exceptional she has made homemade cakes, kept fresh fruits, eggs, and delicious cheese for us. Their authentic hospitality left a lasting impression. We highly recommend this place and plan to return in winter.

Modern 1 bedroom Unit with adventure at the door.
Really comfortable and very well equipped including being able to do a couple of loads of washing which was much appreciated. The wonderful river side walk to the local cafe was just what we were hoping for and the setting and surrounds were very quiet at night. Every convenience at this airbnb. Just great. Thanks Belinda Lou & Howard

Woodpecker Studio
Great home, has everything you'd want and a very peaceful surrounding. We stopped here overnight before heading to Franz Josef much more convenient than stopping at Wanaka. Great place, highly recommended.

Peninsula Bay Guest House
Absolutely loved our stay at Sharon and Brad’s cabin in Wanaka. It’s is a short drive in to town but situated in a beautiful, quiet residential area with stunning views of the near by mountains. The place is very private and has all the amenities you could need to feel like home. Bed was super comfortable, the cabin is nice and modern and the communication both during and before our stay was fantastic. Highly recommended !

5-Star Boutique Retreat
Had a fantastic stay at Keisha’s Airbnb! Room was clean and tidy, the garden outside was well maintained and little things like the path to the hot tub being clean, chocolates on arrival and cosy room were great! Keisha was a super responsive host and we had a lovely stay. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Keisha!

Relaxing 1 bedroom studio with a private deck area
Absolutely wonderful place, thank you so much Sandy!

Sunny studio with hot tub and mountain views
Loved our stay! Just a short drive to Arrowtown and Queenstown, beautiful wineries in walking distance. Steph was very responsive and helpful, loved our time staying in their beautiful home.

Adorable 2-bedroom guesthouse with onsite parking
Grace is the best host. I absolutely love staying here and enjoying the delicious baking that she provides as well as very generous breakfast supplies. The weather had turned cold but it was so quiet and peaceful and I was warm and toasty Totally recommended !

Cosy hideaway
I have stayed here twice now. Great location and a great little unit. Will be back.

Hillside Retreat & Woodstoked Hot Tub
Wow! An absolutely unreal night. The place is so cute inside, has everything you’d ever need. Comes with blankets, towels, 2 bathroom robes (which are incredibly soft) and so much more. All kitchen intensive are there and they even include a small pantry of goodies for you to use including eggs, milk, oil, seasoning, breakfast and some nice coffee. Incredibly kind hosts! The scenery is truly beautiful, and a private area to get away. The hot tub was pre heated for when we arrived which is a great touch and we were given enough wood to make it last the whole night. Due to the lack of light in the area, the stars were like I’ve never seen before too! One of my top and favourite Airbnb experiences I’ve ever been on! Very recommended booking!

Cosy on Cumberland
Convenient location if you’re visiting Queenstown with family. Everything scenic is within 15-20 mins distance. The house is very well maintained, has good amenities and pretty much everything you’d need for a comfortable stay

Studio Apartment @ Cherry Tree Farm
Thanks so much Sharon and Peter for your warm welcome and the lovely 2-night stay. It was the perfect resting spot for us. The studio was very well stocked, comfortable and cosy. We appreciated the breakfast foods including fresh fruit and jams, and eggs! The orchard surroundings are so peaceful and pretty. Next time we hope to explore them a bit more :).

Gunn Rd Premium Bunkhouse Cottage with Logburner
We had an excellent stay and Tish was a great host. The living area was cosy and the beds were super comfy. The layout was great and the bathroom was very clean. It was everything we needed for our weekend trip!

Cosy Cottage in Wanaka
Beautiful cottage. Clean and well equipped. Very comfortable. Conveniently located.

Rural Retreat minutes from Lake Hāwea
I had a fantastic time staying here for 2 nights. Very peaceful and quite property. Easy 10 min drive into wanaka. House was clean and cozy and just as described. Was nice to see the horses on property along with their cat!! Would highly recommend staying here. I was able to chat with Rosanna and her husband tom for a bit which was nice.

3 mins to Remarkable resort
A lovely and comfortable stay! Gary goes the extra mile to sort out any issues that may arise!

Towack Beach House Next Door Brand new studio
What a neat and tidy setup, with plenty of room and all utensils etc And the towels smelt very nice

The Tin Shed farm studio with outstanding views
For a wandering furry hook flinger - Wendy and Warricks “Tin Shed” was the perfect base for exploring the best of the Fijord regions’ rivers and streams. The Crib was just so comfortable, serenely quiet and peaceful. The view was spectacular - especially on sunset. Every b&b necessity provided with so many thoughtful touches - milk, eggs, bread, muffins, homemade jams and yoghurt, cereals and all the essential condiments necessary for making your own meal. Just a perfect settup. Bed exceptionally comfortable and linen the best. Thoroughly outstanding BNB for a couple or single traveller. One of the best I have experienced! Highly recommended. Andrew.
