Stunning Home - Amazing Wakatipu Lake Views
Beautiful location with a stunning view of the lake. House was spotlessly clean. Host was friendly and accomodating!

Hawea Heaven: HotTub•SuperKingBeds•Mountains Views
Vicki and Dan are superb hosts. They are so proactive and helpful. They showed how much they cared about us having a great stay by their excellent communication. This home is decorated so well, and each detail is stunning. They have built much of the decor and it is so beautiful. They had the fire lit for us when we got there, which was such a great touch. The house was well stocked, and well maintained. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The bedrooms were very comfortable and very nice. The hot tub was enjoyable, and the neighborhood was peaceful. We truly appreciated our stay. Thanks for sharing your home with us and for sharing your beautiful corner of the world!

The Essence of Cromwell

Sunny cottage with water views
This crib is all about the view which is clearly spectacular. No other reviews have referenced the property’s layout which I will do here - not as a criticism, but as an observation so that folks can take same into consideration. The property has 2 bedrooms - however they are effectively joined (wth a small ante room in between) meaning that the second bedroom can only be accessed via the first bedroom. This arrangement is certainly noted in the property description; however it’s not apparent from the photos. Folks may need to take this arrangement into account, depending on who they’re sharing with, noting that the occupant of the second bedroom needs to pass through the first bedroom to access the bathroom. My sister and I very much enjoyed our stay & everything the property and surrounds had to offer! Thanks Fiona!

Lake View Townhouse
Jimmy was a very thoughtful and responsive host . The house was very comfortable with stunning views. The setting opposite the lake is beautiful, and a great base for exploring other areas of interest around Queenstown. We’d highly recommend Jimmy’s place.

Kingston Villa with lake and mountain views.
The location of this home in Kingston is just breathtaking. The lake, the mountains, the quaint little town -- all of it is perfect. It is a 45-ish minute drive from Queenstown, but that was a plus for us as we had day trips planned to Milford Sound and Invercargill. Plus, the drive to Queenstown is so beautiful. The house was very clean and cozy. We made ample use of the washing machine (which conveniently has a dryer option as well). I would highly recommend a stay at Ian's.

Frog Lodge - Enjoy Comfort & Style in Otematata
We had a wonderful stay at Jan’s place. We loved all of the details and the interesting art, books and furniture. It felt really homely and there were lots of helpful and thoughtful touches. The beds were all really comfortable with lovely fresh linen. Jan was an incredible host who really made sure that our stay was enjoyable. She was accommodating with a few last minute changes and always responded to messages promptly. We will definitely be booking a stay at Jans the next time we are in Otematata.

A Travellers Haven! Great Views! Great Location!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Queenstown! The panoramic views were breathtaking, and the location was ideal to explore Queenstown and the surrounding area. The house was spotless, spacious, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Queenstown. It truly is a traveler's haven! Thank you Michael!

Apt12 Lakefront Apartments
The absolutely breathtaking views, just a few minutes' walk to Queenstown center. Deborah provided lots of helpful information. The room was well-equipped and incredibly cozy — I’d choose it again next time. Highly recommended!

Cosy & Modern Wanaka Studio
Had such a lovely stay! The place was perfect - super clean and tidy and very comfortable and cosy. Location was close to the lake and only a short drive to town. Hosts were so lovely and left great instructions and local recommendations which was much appreciated 😊

Right on the Lake Front!
Loved the place. It was exactly as described and better than I could imagine. Everything was easy and smooth. Lyndal is always there to help you with anything. Overall, great way to make our Queenstown trip memorable.

Alpine Village Views III
The place has a balcony that faces Lake Wakatipu. Great views. I managed to capture few pictures of southern light from the balcony. The place is near to alot places. My family loved the place. i really recommend this place.

Stunning 1bdrm Lakefront Apartment #1a
Perfect crash pad right on the lake with everything that was needed for a weeks stay.

Lake view, 5-star reviews, car-park & walk to town
My partner and I spent a few days here for our first trip to Queenstown and it was absolutely perfect, we loved our stay! The apartment itself is tidy and cosy and the view of the lake is beautiful and even better than the photos 😍 Kirsty was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed as well as providing some great local recommendations including a scenic walk into town, which we loved doing every day. We would stay here again and 100% recommend!

Lake Front 3-bedroom Apartment with Lake Access
the place was exceptional! Ray was so friendly, kind and quick to respond. even with the last-minute request, we were allowed to check in earlier which was super helpful. 120% recommended!

Lucky #8 Penthouse
We had a truly wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The location is perfect — you can enjoy a lovely walk through the park on your way to the town center. The place itself is amazing — not only did it have all the amenities we needed, but it also offered so much more than what we expected. We stayed at the start of winter, and we were especially thankful for the efficient heating, which kept us cozy throughout our visit. It was such a relief that there is a garage, so we did not have to park outside in the cold. But hands down, the best part was the view — even better than what the listing photos showed! It was absolutely breathtaking and made our stay feel extra special. My family and I truly enjoyed our time here, and overall, everything was just perfect. The only small challenge was carrying our luggage up and down the stairs, as there’s no lift. But we were already aware of this before booking, and honestly, everything else made up for it — so it wasn’t a big deal at all 😁

Private Cottage with Spa & Amazing Lake Views
loved this place!! the views were gorgeous!! also nice to stay outside the craziness of Queenstown

" The Cottage - Comfortable and Private "
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.

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.

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.

Dunstan View Cottage

Cosy Cottage Overlooking Lake Pukaki
We loved staying at the cottage! It had beautiful views, was cozy, comfortable and being on Lake Pukaki at the beginning and end of every day was amazing. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Black's Hut - Lakefront Cottage
One of the most spectacular Airbnb's we have ever stayed at. The view is sensational and it is a lovely, peaceful setting. The Airbnb itself was modern, comfy and clean. It was well appointed with a full kitchen and well stocked supplies. Bedrooms were comfy and there were modern, clean bathrooms. Te Anau is a great place to stay as a base for trips to Milford or Doubtful Sound. Black's Hut is around a 30 minute walk to the town centre, slightly longer if you take the very scenic route along the lake edge. There are no busses or taxis. All and all it was a fantastic stay and comes highly recommended.

Thyme On The Terrace
Very roomy and comfortable accommodation. Large bathroom with a fabulous tub. We used the washer and dryer…very handy. Heated floors kept the place warm and cosy. Kitchen is well equipped. Would stay there again. Thanks Peter and Yanli.
