Chalet holiday rentals in New Zealand

Lovely place to stay, really nice hosts, especially valuable if you enjoy the outdoors, cyclists, walkers and skiers and more! Good amount of space, great to have such a lovely amount of greenery so close to transport, a supermarket and heaps of cheap eats too. Would definitely like to be back, hopefully more able to take advantage of the beautiful area. 2 minutes away from the river Avon, 25 min walk along that to central city.

Coming from a busy town, my partner and I wanted a getaway from all the noise and just the busy lifestyle that we have and the chalet was the perfect place for us to stay at and recharge mentally before getting back to reality. The privacy that you get as well as the surrounding of the beautiful nature was a bonus for us too. Definitely would recommend to those that need this kind of getaway or just a peaceful getaway in general. If you get the chance to meet the hosts, Charles and Nikki, they’re very welcoming and lovely people too!

These mini chalets are really incredible. Perfect location to explore the glaciers and very comfortable stay. We had a clear night and the night sky was breathtaking!! Added bonus of a lovely sauna and hot tub!!

We loved the house! It has all the amenities you can think of, a very well equipped kitchen and full laundry facilities. It is in a quiet area. The lounge and one upstairs bedroom have lovely views of Mt Ruapehu. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We very much appreciated the welcome goodies, Kate! Thank you

Was a lovely little place out in the countryside and was a nice break from the city life!!

Such a great stay, lovely hosts and perfect location.

My friends and I booked this accommodation for our friend-versary, and we couldn’t have been happier with our stay. It was everything we wanted and more. The location was perfect — close enough to town for convenience, but far enough to feel like a peaceful retreat. The house itself is absolutely beautiful — cosy, warm, and thoughtfully furnished. The bedding and décor were not only up to date but also incredibly comfortable and stylish. We honestly couldn’t believe we were able to stay somewhere so amazing at such a great price. The hosts were also incredibly accommodating and lovely to communicate with, which made the whole experience even better. From now on, whenever I need a place to stay in Hanmer, I know exactly where I’ll be booking!

We had a lovely stay in Albert Town. The house was in the perfect location, right at the base of Mt Iron which provided great views and quick access to great walks. The house was cosy, comfortable and had everything we needed. We really appreciated all the baby items that made it easier to travel with our young son. Kristy was a great host and very quick to respond to any messages. Would stay again!

Firstly let us say everything about this property is simply stunning, the space, the views, the location and did I mention the views.. As hosts, Kelly and Chris were so responsive and helpful. We would hope to return at some time, unfortunately while we were there our stay was impacted with noise from an adjacent property hosting a wedding. We reported this to Chris and Kelly who intend to take the matter further. This does not impact our desire to return nor does it affect the five star review this property deserves.

Staying at this Queenstown Airbnb was an absolute dream! The host's thoughtfulness shone through in every detail. Handwritten notes greeted me, leading me through the cozy space and its delightful surprises. I was amazed to find the house stocked with everything I could need: birthday candles for spontaneous celebrations, umbrellas for rainy days, reusable shopping bags, soft slippers, notepads, and even disposable zip - lock bags. It truly felt like the host had thought of everything! The views were the cherry on top. Waking up to stunning sunrises, watching the sky light up with vibrant sunsets, and even spotting a rainbow from the window— it was pure magic. This place wasn't just a place to stay; it was a haven that perfectly combined comfort, convenience, and natural beauty. I was deeply touched by this house filled with love; it brought tears to my eyes. It’s rare to find such a warm and caring accommodation. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect escape. Thank you for making

We loved our stay in Gavin's passive house. The house is in an excellent location, close to town and a short walk from Lake Wanaka. The house is beautifully designed, light and airy and very comfortable. We loved the window seat at the front with lovely views of the mountains - a perfect spot to read and relax. A really lovely home

Absolutely stunning accommodation. Judie was wonderful to communicate with.

Stellar property, amazing views. There are many rentals in Queenstown, and we have stayed in several of them. Garth's place is our favorite; the location and views of the mountains and lake are unparalleled.

Such a beautiful home with lots of character. Perfect spot for a few families and lots of room for the kids to run around outside. We loved our stay and will be back hopefully next snow season 😊

Beautiful Destination, the host was so kind & welcoming. Lovely homes, set on the lake. Beautiful, clean rooms! we will definitely be coming back one day! Thanks to the incredible crew at the retreat!

When we opened the front door, we were amazed by the how close we were to the lake. We were thankful to have a grey, cold day…to light the fire, make a cuppa and watch the world go by outside. We woke to the sound of wind and when we looked out the bedroom windows, the ducks were riding the white caps on the lake. Do yourself a favour and book more than one night…it’s the perfect place to unwind

Lovely house, situated right next to Taupo lake and super nice view in good weather, what a pity that it was raining for the 2 days during our stay. Clean and cozy, we enjoyed the stay.

Good place for family

Our stay in Rotorua was great! Nerida has a lovely home with easy access to the pool, restaurant and tennis courts. The views of the lake were stunning and we enjoyed staying here!

Love the retreat. The hosts were extremely kind & accomodating and the house was absolutely beautifully clean. It’s a bonus we could take our dogs, they loved the lake!

Mike and Amy were outstandingly friendly and helpful. Our late arrival wasn’t an issue and they were there to welcome us with the key to save our search in the dark. Amazing lakeside spot.

Good clean property which is close to the city center - a short 5 mins drive. Having your own vehicle is recommended. The place is fully equipped and great for a group of 3-5 people.
