This was a stunning place to stay. We had a great time and it was a real bonus having the use of a car. The bed was really comfortable and the unit was decorated with great style. I definitely recommend this place.

Colac Bay Seaside Retreat

FionaRating, 5 stars3 days ago

Perfect apartment stay. Grant is super welcoming and helpful. The space is roomy and immaculately clean. The kitchen was so well equipped with milks, spreads, juice and bread, gourmet muesli selection and a nespresso machine. We loved our stay here and would definitely come back/recommend to friends.

Luxury Beach House in Colac Bay/Riverton

PersiaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was beautifully set up, super comfortable, and had everything we needed. It felt like a real home away from home. The attention to detail and thoughtful touches made such a difference, and the location was perfect. Communication was great, and everything was seamless from start to finish. We’d come back in a heartbeat – already hoping to stay again! Highly recommend.

Seaside Escape

MichaelRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Our stay was fantastic from start to finish! The space was immaculately clean, stylish, and incredibly cozy, making it feel like a true home away from home. Everything was well-maintained and thoughtfully arranged, with all the essentials provided for a stress-free visit. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The host was kind, responsive, and made us feel truly welcome throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book again without hesitation!

Beds at the Beach

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 72 reviews3 weeks ago

Janines's place is even lovelier than the pictures. Fabulous view, right on the beach and perfect for walking and dolphin spotting (at the right time of year). Particularly appreciated the very well equipped kitchen; and two bathrooms made for a very comfortable stay for a couple and two singles (with own double bedrooms). Very comfy beds. Hoping to come back again!

ARGYLE APARTMENT 3 • Stewart Island

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 39 reviews8 months ago

The apartment was warm, clean and well built. We noticed that it was extremely soundproof from the other units,The views were spectacular, and it was a 5 minute stroll from the town. We bumped into Liz at the Pub Quiz on Sunday night and she was very approachable. She gave us good tips on kiwi spotting within town. We did manage a close encounter with a kiwi which was very exciting. Would definitely recommend the apartment and Stewart Island as a whole.

I had the pleasure of booking the Kawau's Airbnb, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! From the moment our staff arrived, they were welcomed with warmth and kindness. The space was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything they needed for a comfortable stay. Anneke was an incredibly thoughtful and attentive host, always available to answer any questions, and made sure they had everything they needed to feel at home. The location was perfect—quiet, yet close to local attractions, making it easy to explore the area. I highly recommend Anneke and Jason's Airbnb to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable, and enjoyable stay.

Stay in the Bay coastal Southland

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviews1 week ago

Amazing location for those wanting a quiet coastal getaway. Beautiful sea and mountain views, short walk to Monkey Island and then onto the long sandy beach of Te Wae Wae Bay. Great basecamp for exploring other highlights of the southern coast. Well stocked with kitchen appliances and ingredients. Added bonus - the house is a recent build with superior insulation. Even though it was autumn with cold nights we were super cosy throughout our stay. (18-20 deg inside with no heaters on - wow!!)

Ringaringa Beach Cottage, comfortable whole house

SébastienRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Our stay was magical. The views are amazing, a beautiful and very quiet beach, a cozy fire and lots of good time in the sunroom with the kids. Having the car really made it easy to access the town and the different hikes. ah yeah... and did we mention the kiwis that visited us on our first morning just before the superb sunrise!!!!

We had a lovely relaxing break away, looking after our little great nieces for 2 nights. The girls loved the deck to play on and we sat outdoors relaxing and chatting in the sun. We all loved the comfy beds !

Great Family home on Walker St

JanineRating, 5 stars4 days ago

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious and our dogs loved the backyard. Sun streamed in all morning and early afternoon so we were really warm and cozy. Walkable to beach and dairy. Will definitely look at staying here again next time we're in Riverton. Thank you Mark and Jane

Neil & AngelaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Big roomy house, was extremely useful to have the use of a car as was a 5-10 minute drive to town. House is older style but warm and clean. Perfect for our small group but might be tricky if you had 8 people as only 1 bathroom and 1 toilet. Well equipped kitchen
