Apartment holiday rentals in Te Waipounamu / South Island

Perfect place to stay in Christchurch CBD. Great location, being in the city but still feels private as the unit is away from the road. Very clean and tidy, and had everything you’d need. Such a lovely spot and this will be our first pick when visiting Christchurch again.

Excellent, private, quiet and convenient. Off the main road, so quiet, but can walk to the city center; best of both worlds. Safe and convenient parking. Would highly recommend.

A wonderful place. Moments from the beach where there were people swimming and SUPing all morning. We went in twice for an invigorating morning swim. Lovely walk loop on the beach too. The space is excellent, quiet and comfortable and very cool arty decor and a fabulous view. Driving in and out can be tricky due to traffic but a minor con in a sea of pro’s. Loved it. Raglan Roasts nearby do a cracking coffee too.

Jane's Airbnb is great! Looks exactly like the pictures. Very clean and warm. The bed is so comfortable. There are utensils and cooking equipment if you want to make food. A spacious and aesthetic apartment for a nice getaway.

Meg was an amazing host — friendly, responsive, and made sure everything was just right. The apartment was spotless, beautifully presented, and had all the comforts we needed. One of the best parts was how close it was to Christchurch Central everything was within walking distance, from cafes and shops to the city’s main attractions. It made our stay super convenient and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better location or host. Highly recommend Meg’s place and would definitely stay again!

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!

Beautiful located accommodation under Marc's home. Great view of the lake, out door furniture and heating provided. Well equipped property. We walked down to the lake shore but it is a bit steep especially on our way back.

Lovely one night stay. Close to ferry. All that we needed. Easy check in and out. All amenities and some lovely thoughtful personal touches included as extras.

Our stay at Ross’ place at Terrace Downs Windwhistle was so picturesque (once the weather cleared). Property was as show. In the pictures and approx 50mins drive from MtHutt ski base. Be aware no shops nearby so take everything you need with you. Methven is approx 30mins. Would recommend for peaceful stay.

This truly beautiful property felt like magic. From the charming decor to the stunning view of the lake, there was something wonderful in every corner. We were comfortable, warm and cosy right throughout our stay, which felt like the perfect base while we explored Queenstown and beyond.

Oh where do I begin…Sararose and Jules family has the most charming apartment nested in an incredible mountain valley. But what touched my heart was how everything was designed and built in this apartment, and I really mean EVERYTHING. From the fully equipped and stocked kitchen to the cozy fire place, to the spotless bathroom, everything is thoughtfully placed and made by hand. Craftsmanship can be felt everywhere. It’s such a warm welcoming space inside out. The window seat is no joke, exactly as shown on the photos. Come here, you will find everything you will ever need, inside out.

Absolutely stunning stay at Fiona’s oceanfront home. Everything about it stands out. The beautiful setting, the architecture and decor, the kind generous spirit of Fiona and everything in between! I could have stayed there a month! We will definitely be back during the Summer! Thank you for everything!

Perfect crash pad right on the lake with everything that was needed for a weeks stay.

Lovely clean unit. So close to the pub and beach. Thanks for the great stay.

loved my time at Kate's place. was clean, modern, warm and homely. check in was a breeze with clear instructions

Donna has a lovely place just as in the photos. The place was clean, spacious and very warm! Would definitely recommend and would stay here again!!

We had the most relaxing weekend. It was a group of 4 mums and it was a beautiful stay. We felt so at home and everything was provided. The fire was lit and Julie greeted us at the door and welcomed us in. They also stoked up our fire wood and set up the fire for us the second day aswell once we arrived back from the pools. It was so wonderful. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend this property as it had amazing views of Malborough Sound. Sitting on the balcony was very peaceful and relaxing. There was plenty of heating which made the apartment cosy. There is a hot tub on the balcony to sit in and enjoy the views. Sky TV had lots of channels which was appreciated. Would stay again.

lovely couple, approachable and when we crossed paths had a great chat. lovely place to relax... didn't feel the need to escape. Just chilled at the pad.

Great location, scenery outside the window, fully equipped, convenient for multiple people to stay for multiple days, great experience!

We loved our stay at The Studio at Northfield! The extra touches such as the chocolates and walnuts as well as the robes were very considerate and made it feel extra special! The hot tub was a lovely bonus too! Arlene was easy to communicate with and let us know when we left some belongings behind! (Very grateful!) We would love to visit again when the weather is better! 😊

We enjoyed our stay and Pete and Sarah were very organised. The house was perfect for me and my little family and nice and cosy. Would definately reccommend this place if you are looking for somewhere to stay while in Queenstown.

We had an absolutely perfect stay at this Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. Every detail was thoughtfully considered — from the well-stocked kitchen to the cozy bedding and relaxing atmosphere. The location was ideal, quiet yet conveniently close to everything we needed. Communication with the host was seamless and welcoming. Truly one of the best stays we've ever had — we can’t recommend it highly enough and would definitely love to return!

Excellent accommodation with fantastic views. super clean and excellently appointed with spacious rooms and floor plan. Karen was a fabulous host and loved our chats. highly recommend.
