Beautiful Stone Cottage
Lovely clean place to stay and relax. Leanne was super helpful and a lovely host. Had a really nice stay.

lazy porch studio
Lou’s place so peaceful and feel like home. She’s so kind, and helpful. If I could give 100 stars ⭐️ !

The Pines Guesthouse - new re-list
Stu’s guesthouse was a lovely getaway in New Zealand! Close to Queenstown, ZQN airport, and to many outdoor activities. Very peaceful and private, soft linens, and felt right at home. It’s clear that this is not a cookie cutter Airbnb, but a real guesthouse, and it shows in the fit and finish of the property, and Stu’s helpful and kind approach to hosting. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

Private Self Contained great reviews. Long Stay👍
We loved our stay at Robyn’s Airbnb. It was located a short drive away from both the city centre and the airport. The Airbnb was very clean and a great size for the two of us and all of our luggage and the bed was super comfortable. We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we drove onto the property.

The Spruce Hus, Studio by the Lake.
Very peaceful, private and sunny. Felt like it was brand new. Anita is so friendly. And the home made bread was delish! Would highly recommend.

Southfiord B&B *The Cottage* Te Anau Milford Sound
Linda was such a great host! She organised an amazing breakfast plate for us to enjoy over the two days. Provided toys and bath items for the baby. And gave us all the blankets to make sure we would be warm. She left some food for us to feed the sheep, that was very nice of her. We were able to walk around the property and meet the dog :)

Travellers Retreat Rakaia
Great value for money. Lovely. place to stay

The Cowshed
Absolutely loved our stay at the cowshed. Lots of laughs and lost count of how many cows we saw! Really appreciated the breakfast provided and had everything we needed as well. Thanks for having us Angela.
Guesthouses with a patio

Hill top luxury guest unit with superb sea views
Outstanding property just beautiful. By far the best Airbnb we have stayed at. Lots of surprise added extras chocolates on arrival, selection of herbal teas, coffee machine, selection of cereals for breakfast. Every part of this place had those little extras. Extra towels, perfect bathroom, with good hot water pressure. lovely linen on a good quality comfortable bed. The place was perfectly cleaned, warm, quiet and private with the most magnificent view. This new modern place is a must stay for anyone passing though it’s just beautiful.

Woodpecker Studio
Clean and comfortable space with everything you need. Comfy bed and bathroom was nice.

Peninsula Bay Guest House
We had an unforgettable four days here — it was so comfy that we ended up extending our stay! It truly felt like home. You’ll be amazed by all the thoughtful little touches Sharon and Brad have put into the place. Highly recommend! Will definitely come back again. We have to mention that Jet is the most friendly, adorable and gentle four legged fluffy friend we’ve ever met! We loved he’s visit and he definitely elevated the whole experience

Adorable studio cottage with mountain views
This was my second stay at Harriet’s cottage, it’s a great spot to stop. As always I appreciate being able to bring my dog along too. Thanks again!

5-Star Boutique Retreat
Keisha is very kind and generous host. She maintained and presented her property in such a beautiful manner and the location and the vibes that her bnb has it are commendable and luxiourious. Me and my wife stayed there for two days and we enjoyed our stay to a great extent. we had everything on hand whatever we wanted. keisha was always available for the help and assistance. Will definitely opt to live and enjoy at her property while visiting queenstown again. Thanks Keisha lots of blessings

Stylish & private dog-friendly Studio in Methven
Clare’s studio in Methven is an absolute gem! The place is incredibly peaceful and beautifully set up – perfect for a relaxing getaway. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully arranged, making it feel like a little retreat. Clare is a fantastic host, super responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the whole stay. For the price, the value is honestly unbeatable. I felt like I got way more than I paid for. I’ll definitely be booking again next time I’m in the area. Highly recommend!

Mountain view Cottage
We had a wonderful stay at Zelda’s place in Twizel! The apartment was cozy, clean, and had a beautiful view of the mountains — truly a perfect spot to unwind. Its location was also ideal, being just a short drive to the town center with easy access to supermarkets and great local restaurants. Zelda was an incredibly kind and welcoming host, and we really appreciated her hospitality. It was also such a joy to meet her lovely dog, Bea — she made our stay even more special. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space with us, Zelda. We’d love to return one day!

Yaya's House.
Great little place to stay for the night we stopped over in Lake Hawea. Cozy and great Auroa for us. And very yummy baking 😋

Sunset-Spa Pool-Stargazing-Serenity-Sheep-Netflix
What a great place, with peaceful backyard and lovely neighborhood. This place has everything you might need for a great stay and Angela is the sweetest. Highly recommended.

Wanaka WOW
Cosy and beautiful apartment with a nice view to boot! Came with a nice little garden with a tree house and trampoline that kids will always want to jump in. About 8 min into the main town.

Off The Beaten Track - The Country Cottage
A lovely warm and comfortable cottage in beautiful private surroundings an easy 15 minute drive from Hokitika township. Deborah made us feel right at home and gave useful suggestions for local walks and things to do. Having a fully equipped kitchen was great, and the king-size bed was very comfortable. We highly recommend the cottage to others and hope we can stay again in the future.

Deerbrooke Kaikōura Chalets Unit 1
This is the second time my Husband and I have stayed here, and it is literally perfect. As long as it's available it will always be our first choice. The home itself is stunning, cosy, all new and so pristine. The hosts go out of their way to make you feel at home, leaving coffee, tea, hot chocolate etc, bread, spreads, cereal, milk, yogurts and fruit, as well as a couple of drinks to celebrate a trip away. They also leave feed for the beautiful deer, sheep and alpaca who are so friendly and will eat from your hand! The view from this place is breathtaking, and only a 10 minute drive to the beach and town. Perfect!

The Fox private and central
We had a fantastic stay in Oxford at Helen’s stunning Airbnb. Cosy warm private, beautifully done with lots of homely touches. The fireplace was a huge bonus. Great little town with everything you need to get away. Had a few challenges getting the address due to the late check in but once that was sorted everything else was very smooth. Would definitely recommend this place and we would love to stay again

One-bedroom unit in garden setting
Awesome stay! Very cozy and comfy. There’s also a dog and cat that wonder around the property and love to say hi!

Modern & Cosy Timber Guesthouse
This is a great cottage to stay in while visiting Christchurch. It's close to the city, but not in it. Instead, one gets a beautiful view from a hill above, but it's also a short drive to restaurants and a grocery store. Every thing in the cottage felt new and cared for. We visited during the colder months, so we appreciated the electric fireplace and radiator, plus the heater in the bathroom. Carol and Ken also provided special treats and a small container of milk--much appreciated for our morning coffee. I can highly recommend this cottage.

Artist's Cabin
Had a great stay thank you! Very tidy, quiet and peaceful Airbnb. Would definitely stay again!
