Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Te Waipounamu / South Island

Great place for two families, close to town, easy walk to town.

Not too far from all local attractions. Aneta's home was very spacious. Aneta was always proactive and made sure we were settled which was greatly appreciated. everything was as described and has a nice little view out the back also. wasn't disappointed at all. would consider to stay again in the future.

What an amazing stay! Beautiful location, lovely warm home with great lighting, cooking, bedrooms and bathrooms. A real highlight of our trip! Lake Wānaka is a lovely place and this house really suited our family. We felt right at home and didn’t want to leave! Highly recommended.

A really fabulous stay. Loads of space, both inside and outside. Highly suitable for families and in a quiet location. Great walks nearby and very close to Wanaka. Would be equally suitable for a winter or summer stay. Loved it!

Loved my second stay here as much as the first. Thank you !

The house was clean and nice, and we also prepared a fireplace to light a real fire for us, the blissfulness was full

Great place to stay if you are visiting Mt Cook and Lake Tekapo from Queenstown, as close to both. Enough room for a lot of people (8 beds) which is great, and available facilities for washing, cooking and parking. Only one toilet though so might be tricky for a bigger group.

Had a great stay with some lovely walks down to the river, the hot tub was a hit.

Good place to stay, very helpful and communication was awesome, went extra mile to accommodate for a baby

Melanie was an amazing host! She provided very clear instructions upon check in and provided great recommendations. The house is absolutely cozy with a stunning view of queenstown and the lake. Neighborhood is very peaceful yet very accessible to get to places, especially heart of Queenstown and Glenorchy. A book with information on how to use the amenities such as sauna, hot tub, fireplace etc was very helpful. Melanie was also very responsive whenever we had any questions. Super value for price, it felt like a chalet that you would have pay for 1000 euros a night. Highly highly recommend!!

The surrounding environment is very nice and it's close to the city center, but the parking garage is a bit small.

Highly recommend this apartment overlooking the Shotover River. Just out of Queenstown & a short drive to Arrowtown with restaurants & a local spa within walking distance, this is the place to be to relax & enjoy the view. Exactly as described, Kirsten is a super helpful host.

Such a nice place in an amazing part of New Zealand. Very quiet and peaceful surroundings, lots of walks and nice places to eat very close by. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in Arrowtown.

Alison's apartment was excellent. Perfect for our family. It was clean, well appointed and warm. Great heaters and gas fire. An easy walk to town. Plus it had wonderful views. We can highly recommend Alison's apartment as a great place to stay in Queenstown.

Great place to stay for a family. Within walking distance to the town centre in a beautiful and quiet area. We really enjoyed our stay.

The best views of Queenstown you could imagine. Absolutely amazing, would come again.

Our family loved our stay in Queenstown. The villa is lovely with an amazing view!

Margaret was incredibly accommodating and communicated well. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The house was clean and any issue was dealt with immediately. Thank you for a great stay!

I stayed at David’s with my husband and mum and dad and it was perfect! Really spacious with comfy beds and lounge area and a view to die for. Catching the bus into town was only $2 and left from the end of the street, there were also restaurants and bars within walking distance which we loved. Recommend this place if you’re looking for a spacious and comfortable base to explore Queenstown from.

WOW what a house! Stunning property and large! perfect for our family trip with 2 kiddies, having a portacot an toys available was brilliant, two bathrooms made it nice and easy esp with a bath too! Easy check in and clear instructions. Tom and Taya answered all my questions and seeing the book on the entrance table with what the house looked like before they transformed it was incredible! if we are ever in Nelson again this will be my first pick! thank you!

WE stayed one night at the Villa. This is a full house with full kitchen and three bedrooms - we only stayed in one bedroom. The bed was comfortable, it was quiet and nice and dark and we slept very well. The water was very hot and plentiful. Breakfast basics were provided and much appreciated. The house is convenient to downtown Oamaru. We highly recommend the Villa and will stay there again when in Oamaru.

We stayed for a full week and used the house as a base to explore Nelson and surrounds, Havelock (where we took a boat into the Sounds and Blenheim / wineries. After a day exploring, and some days when we didn’t leave the house, we lapped up the views and quiet time - card games, reading, cooking, drinking great NZ wine. The sauna and wood fired hot tub was amazing especially when the skies were clear. The views are spectacular! The drive up the hill is as described (terrifying in the wild wind and rain we had!). Make sure you book a 4WD or an all wheel drive as NZ weather is famously unpredictable. Great hosts who thought of all the small touches and were super responsive.

Lovely house in a great position to walk everywhere and enjoy everything Hanmer Springs has to offer. It had a bit less outdoor space than we were expecting but this didn’t stop us from enjoying a BBQ! The kitchen is very well equipped and it’s a lovely sociable space. The beds were huge and bathrooms spotless. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This was the best place we stayed at during our trip. I wish we could’ve stayed longer at this cottage as it is absolutely gorgeous! The view from the front porch is incredible and the cottage is private and quiet. The host had the log fire roaring when we arrived. Wonderful.
