Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Central Otago

We loved Doris and James AND their place . Such beautiful people ! We feel blessed to have met them ! Their place is wonderfully comfortable with extras like the tea and freshly baked bread and home made jams to top off this magical place . The views are spectacular and it’s in an area that’s peaceful and calm away from the bustle of Queenstown. Highly recommend . 💕

So grateful for people sharing their little slice of paradise like this with us. Gorgeous, amazingly designed house with jaw dropping views from every window. We were lucky enough to have sun, snow and auroras at night during our stay. The house is super cozy and well equipped and close to Arrowtown and right on the Queenstown trail. It’s also the perfect location for every ski hill. We loved every minute of our stay and can’t wait to return. Thankyou so much.

We absolutely adored staying at Te Awa Lodge on our recent trip to Wanaka. It was a gorgeous riverside home with an amazing hot tub and sauna, which we loved using after our hikes. Graeme and Carolyn were such warm, welcoming hosts and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The property is easily accessible to Wanaka (10-15 min) and Mount Aspiring (1 hour) . Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

This is undoubtably one of the best Air BNB places we have stayed. We felt at home and spent many an hour sitting at the window with the fire crackling - nice glass of red in hand of course. not much more to say except WOW. Thank you to Angela and her family for sharing their place with us

A very beautiful and cosy location with incredible views of the stars at night. Thank you for having us!

Glenn was fantastic and a great host! He greeted us with umbrellas when it was raining heavy and also drove us to town to get our rental car. Glenn went out of his way to make us feel so welcomed.

Great place and location! Host Abby is lovely!

A lovely house to base yourself in Central Otago. Spotless and spacious and very toasty warm in the colder weather. Keiran was easy to communicate with and helpful operating instructions for the appliances were on hand. Plenty of room and although not required by us was good to see a cot and highchair for those with small families.

We really enjoyed staying in this charming little house. The position to town is very handy and the property sits in beautiful gardens with a babbling brook running through the garden - just charming. Hosts were very friendly and helpful and advised us that we were able to check in early and leave later as they had no direct bookings after us. Highly recommend staying here.

Love the ambience, incredible and convenient location with stunning views. The place was super cozy and had a very homey vibe. Toilet floors are heated which is something that we did not know we needed haha - mind blowing. This airbnb blew our expectations out of the water.

Absolutely loved how clean the entire place was and Laura communicated everything very clearly◡̈

Great place to stay and very close to Wānaka township.

The house is superb! Near town centre. The inside is also incredible. Very clean and well designed. Netflix works well. Also basic cooking stuffs provided. Highly recommend it.

We had a lovely experience staying at Rata lodge! Our only regret is that we did not book more days with Judy! Spacious, modern, clean and equipped with everything that you would require. Not to mention it was located in a tranquil location within mins drive to the central area. We loved the high ceilings and decor touches. We look forward to be back again in the future, thank you Judy!

Nice and tidy, great location. Would stay again.

Cindy's place was just perfect for what we were looking for. Great for an Autumn stay with easy access to Queenstown, Arrowtown and the trail network. Cindy has put on the electric blanket with our late arrival - when we saw her the next day she was super friendly and welcoming. We spent the days hiking and riding bikes with great food at Sherwood and Ayrburn. Also recommend b'fast at the Bespoke Kitchen.

Beautiful place with one of the best views in Queenstown. Excellent bed and shower. Very clean. Highly recommended

Quiet and nice little area with all the necessary amenities within 10mins of driving. Room is clean with a basic kitchen enough for meal preparation.

This is my second stay here. Its a great place to come back to after a day at work. Having the pub at the front gives you options for a good meal if you don't feel like cooking it yourself

Great place to stay , apartment was clean and tidy and kitchen had all the utensils we needed. Close to all amenities and great views. Would definitely recommend this place . Thanks

Excellent communication, and entry instruction from Owner. Apartment was as listed, no surprises or disappointments. Short walk to supermarket/shops. We hired a vehicle. The car space provided was well positioned, and able to be locked when we were out, bonus. Side note: $10pp cash for 5min local bus to/from airport without a travel BeeCard. We stayed 2 nights in Queenstown and 3 nights with a vehicle at this AirBnB, overall I was very pleased with my choice. Recommend, Yes.

A wonderful location with stunning lake and mountain views. Pleasant and easy walks to local coffee shops and eateries. Great lakeside walk into Queenstown. Excellent accommodation bed extremely comfortable. Great communication with host who was helpful and timely in responding. Would highly recommend and would return in a heartbeat.

Location is great with private parking so you don’t have to worry about finding one far away and shifting luggages. The place I clean and near most of the needed amenities, beautiful surrounding and walking distance to the lake. Full function kitchen with no restriction of what are allowed to be cooked. Jane is a wonderful host ensuring our safe arrival and proactively helped us check on the status of the road closure, ensuring our safe arrival. We were greeted with a warm welcome, chocolate and a pre warmed house. :)

I will never forget the moment staying 2nights here. Wonderful view
