Apartment Lake Front Wanaka
Sherril's place was in an ideal location. It was a five minute walk to the lake, restaurants and the grocery store. The view of the lake from the kitchen/living room was spectacular! We liked that each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes and flatware. We made use of the washer and dryer in the unit. Sherril was very responsive to our questions. I highly recommend staying in Sherril's place.

Apt12 Lakefront Apartments
Wow!!! A fantastic apartment. Walkable distance to main shopping precinct and Steamer Wharf. The park and lakeside are right across the road and provide a great place to sit and watch the world go by. The apartment also has a (shared) private garden area that is a great place to relax and read. The view of the lake from the living area is expansive and the private balcony provides yet another relaxing opportunity to enjoy the scenery. The beds, linen, furnishings are all first class. The laundry is a bonus when on an extended trip. The kitchen is fully equiped and very clean. If you don't want to self cater, great dining opportunities are within walking distance. If you don't have a car, this is a bonus, if you do have a car, parking is available and there is a lift from the carpark to the apartment. Highly recommended. We had a great stay.

21 Lakefront
All 4 of us were beyond blown away by this place. Fitted our needs and then some. Actually spent more time cooking and dining at home than expected because of the kitchen, bbq and incredible views of the lake. The only negative we could come up with was that we weren’t able to overstay our welcome and squat here forever. It was the consensus that we will book this apartment should we return to NZ next year.

Lake front self-contained quality studio
This is the best reasonable accommodation where you can enjoy a lake view and stay comfortably in Queenstown, where there are not many good hotels. Thanks to the best host, it was the best accommodation I have ever stayed in. I was impressed by the quick and friendly guidance, not only of the accommodation but also of the things to do around the accommodation. He could have been a hotelier. He gave me the best guidance and care!! Thanks to him, I had the best experience in Queenstown. I would like to recommend 👍👍👍

2 Bed Townhouse in Albert Town
great place to live in for my family for 3 days. Got everything we need. In front of the door is the supermarket and really easy to find. Parking is really convenient. We had great fun there. Highly recommend!

HARBOURSIDE STUDIO UNIT.(LOFT)
Lovely studio apartment with balcony to watch Moeraki pass by. Everything you need, great position. Enjoyed having that extra hour to check out in the morning to have that last cuppa on the balcony. Will be back.

Waterfront 1 Bedroom Loft Apartment
Great spot for visiting Dunedin. The Apartments are a unique space, with the living & dining space above the bedroom. With large picture windows out there is plenty of light throughout. Equipped for a short city break, these are great apartments. Location is ideal, 10 minute walk up past the station and you’ll be central for the most of the city.

Top floor 3 bed apartment in the Tiger Building.
We had a great stay at the apartment. Comfortable beds, quiet location and nicely decorated accommodation. Fantastic kitchen with plenty of utensils. Nice views of the harbour from the lounge and we all loved the massage chair! I would definitely recommend to others to stay at this apartment if visiting Dunedin.

The Kakanui Cube
The cube is wonderful - looks like the photos really very spacious for a Cube & well appointed. View & surroundings cannot be beaten - all just a little way from a good surfing & swimming beach. Very relaxing.

River Retreat
This was a great deal - really nice, well equipped house. I booked it for colleagues for a work trip and they said it was excellent and the location was perfect for what they needed. Stacey was very upfront about some work going on whilst the guys were there which I appreciated, but it didn't impact them at all.

Te awa Lodge Riverside retreat
We had a magical stay at Te Awa Lodge. The accomodation was beautiful, complete with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The views are stunning from every window and we enjoyed exploring the gardens, nearby river and soaking in the hot tub. Hosts Graeme and Carolyn are marvellous, so friendly and inviting. Highly recommend this little place of paradise!

Taieri Mouth Beach Retreat 30 minutes from Dunedin
We’ve enjoyed our short stay at Angela’s place. Conveniently located: a short drive to the Otago peninsula, Dunedin, etc. The beach access just down the steps from the lawn is a great bonus, as well as the rec room equipped with pool table, arcade games and darts. Incredible views.

Lakefront, amazing views, spa & 5 min walk to town
Super high end finishes and great location. Thank you so much!

Fabulous beach front house by the sea
We had a lovely stay at the Beach House. Great location with sea views and handy to the beach. The house was clean, warm and fully equipped. Would definitely recommend as a relaxing getaway.

Lake View Townhouse
Such an awesome place! We felt right at home ! Super comfortable, clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and even an outdoor gas grill. The view of the lake was amazing! Wish we could have stayed longer. Super close to shopping, restaurants and the airport. Loved the planes flying over the house and coming in . We have already recommended this house to our Kiwi friends and will do the same with friends here in the States when they plan a trip to Queenstown.

Kingston Villa with lake and mountain views.
Absolutely home from home with everything anyone could want for a relaxing and peaceful break. Don't even think about it...... just book it!! Sadly as a Brit we will not be in NZ long enough to repeat the experience.

Fantastic Views!The Point Apartment
A beautiful location. Is a little challenging to pin down (no fault of owner) just with it being on Queenstown’s main road it can be easily missed. But worth the find. Absolutely loved it. Even tho it’s on the main road it’s super peaceful. Can hear the boats on the lake and the planes if ya leave a door or window open, but no highway traffic at all. Highly highly recommend. It’s beautiful.

"The Prospector on Miners"
A stunning place to stay. Private and peaceful with beautiful gardens. The cottage is beautifully decorated and has everything you could need. Just a short stroll to everything you would want to do and see in Clyde. Definitely would stay again.

Absolute Waterfront Studio. Unreal CBD location!
Exactly what we needed for short stay in Queenstown. Great location walking to everything. Host is amazing and extremely responsive! Couldn’t have been better.

Lakeview Haven
Nice bathroom. Loved the hot tub. Nice location by the lake - about a 10 minute drive from town. Just something to note if you are staying in Summer this place doesn't have air-conditioning. We were out all day exploring and by the time we got home the breeze had cooled the place down but if you were planning to hang at the apartment in the afternoon it gets quite hot.

Alpenglow - Q1 Apartments
Really great apartment in a great location. Keren was very responsive and extremely accommodating. Wish we could have stayed longer!!!

Tekapo1929 - Braemar
I had a nice stay at this Airbnb. The location was perfect, just a short drive to the restaurants and shops, and we had a view of the lake right outside the main door. While the main entrance is shared with another Airbnb, I had the privacy and peace and quiet we needed.

Lakefront Twin Studio in Queenstown CBD!
I really appreciated their communication and quick replies! I had a couple day-of questions and they were very attentive - much appreciated.
