Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Brookhaven cottage with Luxury Outdoor Tub
Thank you Lynda & Nigel. This air bnb is unique in so many ways. It is absolutely 5 star and we would have no hesitation in recommending this private stand alone house as a place to stay. Thank you again

Arches Cottage. Free Hot tub No cleaning fee
A very comfortable home away from home, and lovely location.

Alpine Hideaway - 2 bedrooms
We enjoyed staying in a cozy space that was just a few minutes drive outside of town.

Kowhai Cottages - Rustic Charm & Stargazing Oasis
We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at the cottage. It was so cosy and everything had been thought of - comfortable bed, skylight for stargazing, outdoor bath and even slippers. We appreciated all the baby items that were set up and the toys and books. It’s in a great location and a short drive to so many great walks and scenic spots. Thank you Sean & Jana for creating such a special place.

Harbourside Studio Apartment 'seven'
Funky little annexe to stay in. Loved the welcome basket of freshly baked bread and eggs. It was a chilly week in Dunedin but the heater in bedroom did the job to make it cosy. Kerry was very welcoming and friendly. Had a great bike ride on the cycle path. Would like to stay in summer next time.

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.
很棒的民宿,想體驗新西蘭鄉村生活的都應該來這邊住住看.值得推薦!

Historic Clyde cottage, restored & welcoming
We loved Louise’s place and had a wonderful time there in her beautiful garden as well. Lovely meeting her and her friendly dogs also! The cottage is charming with all the amenities you’d need - we were welcomed with freshly picked raspberries that were delightful. Located next to all the best coffee shops and restaurants in Clyde, we would love to come back and stay for longer next time.

Snowshoe Cottage
Clare’s place was fantastic. So so well appointed with everything you could possibly need - it was so well considered. The location was stunning and perfect for a chilled cosy weekend in front of the log burner. Instructions for check in and the house itself were super easy to follow and Clare was brilliant for communication. Highly recommend adding on the spa pool for a relaxing soak overlooking a gorgeous view.

Brighton Beach Bach
Cosy, homely, cute 🌸 Just didn’t have an oven to heat up dinner , I should have read list properly 🤣 Beach walk stunning Next time 2 nights 👍 Thanks a mill

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

Stableburn Cottage: Unique off-grid family bach
Wonderful place for a relaxing stay. Absolutely stunning scenery, and such a cosy spot. It was so wonderful to be able to bring our dog, too - he was in heaven running around, and having Sarah be so accommodating with him allowed us to relax even more. Lovely touches throughout like candles, and the fire ready to go if we needed it! The outdoor bath was also a fabulous treat that we thoroughly enjoyed. Will definitely be back!

'The Cottage' at Patearoa, Central Otago
We loved staying at the Cottage. It was cosy, decorated in a modern yet sympathetic style. The host left fresh baking to welcome us, along with other farm fresh goods for our use. Wonderful all round!

Queenstowns Country 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!!

Character Harbour Retreat
Great shower pressure, well stocked kitchen, comfy bed, grass for the dog. It felt like a real home with lots of basics in case you forgot something. Hard to find the driveway and get up it, but once you've done it once you're good to go. A bit remote from shops, but that's a good thing. It was so peaceful and the views were amazing. Particularly the sunrise.

Family Cottage at Longbourne Lodge (sleeps 7)
We were greeted and taken to the accommodation. Peter was great explained easiest way to town. When my mum left her walking stick behind Peter contacted us immediately. We had a wonderful night an the scenery was beautiful.

You couldn’t ask for a nicer little place, it was sparkling, clean very comfortable and perfect location for my needs. I would recommend Judith’s place every time. Communication was easy and very quick check in no problem at all. Check out same way cheers, Richard.

Fox's Retreat, Arrowtown
We adore Fox's Retreat. It is, without a doubt, our favourite Airbnb experience in New Zealand, and we'll visit as often as possible in the future. The location is perfect. The Arrowtown Autumn Festival should be on everyone's bucket list.

Country Outlook
Wonderful place to stay. Would highly recommend this place. Nice and clean and great quiet spot. Very clean place and not too far from Gore.

★★★ Arrowtown Charming Cottage ★★★
This is the second time we have stayed here and we really enjoy it. We love the fireplace and the close proximity to everything we need in Arrowtown. We would definitely love to go back!

Grace's Place
Great place. Beautifully decorated. Lovely views.

Cosy Cottage in stunning Wanaka close to Town
Magical stay in Wanaka. We adored Bella's place which suited us so well. Thank for the excellent communication and the wonderfully warm and homely feel your place has. Oh, and the magnificent Autumn weather too! Can't wait to bring the rest of the family next time. Thank you Bella.

Cass Crib | Lake Tekapo
We stayed two wonderful nights in Cass Crib. The view is so spectacular words cannot describe it. We were lucky that it had snowed which made our stay even more magical. The kitchen is well equipped to cook a meal or two at home but is local to cafes and restaurants if wanting to eat out. The home itself is very tidy and clean with lots of space. The staff are so incredibly friendly and helpful it was a pleasure to meet them on our journey of the South Island (they had some great recommendations of places to visit and eat at). 10/10 we would recommend to other people to stay.
