Holiday rentals with beach access in Te Waipounamu / South Island

Absolutely loved our stay, fabulous view and the apartment had everything we needed. One tiny suggestion would be a couple of reading lights by the bed. We had a great time exploring the area over our 3 day stay. Thank you George and family

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.

My partner and I stayed in this beautifully appointed accommodation right across from the ocean, and it exceeded all our expectations. We loved watching the sunset over the beach just across the street—it was absolutely breathtaking, and we were even lucky enough to see a seal leaping through the waves. The space was much larger than it appeared in the photos and thoughtfully laid out for a truly relaxing stay.

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

The Airbnb is nice and pretty big with views of the bay. It has a lot of amenities that a lot of our other airbnbs didn’t have. It had a dedicated filtered water tap, a dryer (most Airbnb’s in NZ only have washers), electric blankets etc. Do note that the drive up to the home is relatively steep and on a gravel path, parking for a large vehicle would be quite tricky as well.

What a wonderful location and fabulous accommodation just as described. Easy to locate, with uncomplicated parking and access. Everything was available at the accommodation with little touches that had been carefully considered. The bed was comfortable with lovely linen and comfortable pillows. The view from the bedroom window and the small balcony , was just lovely and the whole space created a relaxed and enjoyable break. Thank you to Carolyn for great communication. I would love to return. Nga mihi nui

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.

Thankyou so much for a lovely stay. Not far from Queenstown and was such a welcoming and cozy stay. It was lovely meeting you both and would definitely recommend this stay

Beautiful remote spot but also close enough to drive to Havelock if required. Unfortunately it rained most of our stay but our little one still enjoyed stomping in the rain and looking at the animals. Close to nice walking tracks.

Everything you need! Even fresh fruit for breakfast. Thanks!

A few photographers stayed for a few nights. We had an amazing time enjoying this quiet and beautiful beach location. Highly recommended for a break from the big smoke. Thank you

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!

Fantastic stay in beautiful surroundings. The house is really relaxing with plenty of space for everyone. Great dining options inside or outside to enjoy the weather and views. Being able to see the stars from bed was magical. Would thoroughly recommend. To top everything off we saw dolphins from the beach on our last morning.

Beautiful place, stunning view and nice and tidy home. Shouted my partner for his birthday as we’d been a couple times before and this place never disappoints! Relaxed in the spa and watched the sunset. Perfect stay for a couple getaway or to bring family and friends. Look forward to staying here again ☺️

Great location right by the beach. Nice, warm house for a winter stay. Great kitchen and everything you need for a comfortable stay.

We had amazing stay........ The place was as described, and more. We had loads of room and all the things we expected and needed A beautiful new facility with modern appliances and fixtures Weather was totally against us with snow and hail throughout the weekend, but with amazing ocean views, plenty of puzzles and loads of room, we had some great family time ! Ceri's communication throughout was 1st class We'll be back !!

We absolutely loved everything about staying here! It’s more like staying in a luxury hotel. I’ve rented a lot in NZ and especially in Picton. This by far the best place I’ve ever been in. The 5th floor views are mesmerizing from the kitchen, lounge , balcony and master BR. Comfy sofa with a nice TV. And the beds!! Heavenly. Even my grandkids commented on how well they slept and how much they loved the sheets. We could have spent all day watching the boats and ferries but did get out for some nice shopping and great meals. I highly recommend Oxley’s bar and restaurant downstairs. The food was great. We loved this apartment and would love to stay again! Rochelle was great.

Perfect apartment to stay at in Wellington. Everything was as per the booking description etc.

Very good location and Bright is a great host，nice and friendly.Little Pipi is cute. Highly recommend this place.

Really great apartment in a great location. Keren was very responsive and extremely accommodating. Wish we could have stayed longer!!!

Thanks very much for having us. Lovely location and nice touches in the property including little chocolates for us ☺️ Great kitchen facilities and nice homely vibe. Would recommend!

I definitely book again if I think about Queenstown. Stunning view, Clean, Good location, Quiet neighbor, Good value.

Nice place nestled in the Monaco apartments. It has solid heating, good kitchen facilities and a nice little outdoor spot too. It’s a quiet and safe neighbourhood. Good walks and food spots nearby too.

Our favourite accommodation of our NZ trip, everything was excellent! I can't decide if my favourite feature was the super comfortable bed and linen, the heated bathroom floor or the sensor light for the bathroom! Carolyn was great with communication and very helpful. Highly recommended, we will definitely stay here if visiting this area again.
