The Pines Guesthouse - new re-list

NicoleRating, 5 stars1 week ago
One of our favorite places we've ever stayed! This space was designed so thoughtfully, and was well stocked with the essentials. The location was just what we wanted–quiet enough but close enough to Queenstown for easy access to everything we wanted to do. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Buzz - the little house

MichaelRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Clare's charming cottage is a little slice of paradise, and quintessentially Wgtn. Although accessible from the CBD it felt like I was nestled in native bush. The birdsong at sunset is something else. Her instructions for location were thorough, and upon arrival she came up to ensure that I could locate the access pathway. The perfect spot to rest after busy days in the CBD.

Explore - Relax - Enjoy

RachaelRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We regularly book airbnb accommodation for our staff as they travel for work and it is rare to find a place that ticks all of the boxes and we would happily book time and time again. However, Ruth's place is a firm favorite with our team and whenever we are in the area, Ruth's place is always our number one pick. We have had team members stay here multiple times and they all comment on what a lovely place it is - check in is super easy, the outlook is beautiful, the accommodation is clean and comfortable, and the hosts are lovely people. Highly recommended!

Fishmeister Lodge

LindaRating, 5 stars2 days ago
What a fabulous house Jodie has created, it definitely deserves its five star rating. We wish we could have stayed longer as it is the perfect spot to relax in comfort with the most amazing view. The bed is enormous and very comfortable. Everything was spotless. It’s in a very peaceful spot, but still close to restaurants and shops. Jodie was amazing at responding to all my messages and very helpful. I was nervous about Toby the dog, but he’s just a great big softy and after our initial greeting wasn’t interested in us! We didn’t use the spa, but it looked very inviting. We would definitely stay with Jodie again and can highly recommend her beautiful home.

Beautiful home with friendly hosts who heated the hot tub for me each day. My dog loved safely exploring the huge fenced section while I soaked in the tub all evening. Large range of breakfast options which was great as I forgot to bring my own. Great views and peaceful setting. Would love to come again. Thanks for having us!

Lakeside Retreat in a Vineyard By Lake Dunstan

JonathanRating, 5 stars1 day ago
A wonderful experience in a beautiful setting. The cottage was spacious and comfortable, with a great bed and a good shower. Having access to a washer and dryer was so helpful. I highly recommend the homemade, delivered-to-your-door breakfast—fantastic, fresh, and delicious. Don’t miss out on the wood-fired hot tub experience either; soaking under the night sky in the peace and quiet of their property was truly special. The hosts were friendly and responsive, as were their cuddle-seeking golden retrievers. Cromwell has more to offer than you might expect, from wineries to stone fruit stands. The stay was also very modestly priced, especially for what you get. Felt grateful to have been there.

Bella's Rest Guesthouse

SusanRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved our stay at Esther's, we had everything we needed including a good supply of things for breakfast including a good assortment of coffee pods to a special treat of chocolate. We were a day late arriving as I wasn't well on the day we were due and Esther let us stay a day extra to make us for it which was so very kind of her. I would recommend our stay here to anyone. Thank you once again Esther, Regards, Sue and Dave.
