Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Central Otago

Our stay was simply perfect - the hosts were overwhelmingly kind and welcoming, the place was clean and beautiful, the included breakfast was delicious, and the view from the suite was spectacular. The hosts provided excellent suggestions for meals and destinations - thanks to them it was easy for us to get around and enjoy all that Queenstown and its surrounds had to offer.

So grateful for people sharing their little slice of paradise like this with us. Gorgeous, amazingly designed house with jaw dropping views from every window. We were lucky enough to have sun, snow and auroras at night during our stay. The house is super cozy and well equipped and close to Arrowtown and right on the Queenstown trail. It’s also the perfect location for every ski hill. We loved every minute of our stay and can’t wait to return. Thankyou so much.

Great position on Fernhill overlooking the lake and the Remarkables. Very cozy and comfortable studio. The hot tub was a great experience after a day out. I definitely recommend Clint and Anitas place here in Queenstown.

A very beautiful and cosy location with incredible views of the stars at night. Thank you for having us!

Glenn was fantastic and a great host! He greeted us with umbrellas when it was raining heavy and also drove us to town to get our rental car. Glenn went out of his way to make us feel so welcomed.

Great place and location! Host Abby is lovely!

A lovely house to base yourself in Central Otago. Spotless and spacious and very toasty warm in the colder weather. Keiran was easy to communicate with and helpful operating instructions for the appliances were on hand. Plenty of room and although not required by us was good to see a cot and highchair for those with small families.

I enjoyed my stay so much, a beautiful space in a quiet place. Would recommend and would return!

We really enjoyed staying in this charming little house. The position to town is very handy and the property sits in beautiful gardens with a babbling brook running through the garden - just charming. Hosts were very friendly and helpful and advised us that we were able to check in early and leave later as they had no direct bookings after us. Highly recommend staying here.

Love the ambience, incredible and convenient location with stunning views. The place was super cozy and had a very homey vibe. Toilet floors are heated which is something that we did not know we needed haha - mind blowing. This airbnb blew our expectations out of the water.

It was a very enjoyable stay; Very weel appointed apartment, beautiful views, Great recommendations for eating out, activities, all in all Bridget has been an amazing host. Eva and Kris

Great place to stay and very close to Wānaka township.

If you're lucky enough to find availability with Beryle, book it immediately. She’s not just a host — she’s one of the kindest, most extraordinary people we’ve ever met. From the moment we arrived, she welcomed us like family. We even (seriously) asked if she’d adopt us — and we’re 29 and 30! She’s the ultimate Kiwi mum: warm, thoughtful, and endlessly generous. She made my partner’s birthday so special with heartfelt touches we’ll never forget. Beryle went above and beyond in every single way. She was incredibly helpful in reviewing our itinerary and used her local knowledge to help us adjust our plans when the weather changed. Her advice was thoughtful, practical, and spot-on. I would use my last dying breath to recommend you stay with Beryle. This was more than a place to sleep — it was a highlight of our trip, thanks to one remarkable woman. The bed was amazing and the bathroom great! We arrived as guests, left as family. I wish I could say more, but I only have 999 characters!

Very friendly and responsive host. Place was very clean and easy to find. Mentioned that the room was a little cold and immediately the host brought over the heater.

The house is superb! Near town centre. The inside is also incredible. Very clean and well designed. Netflix works well. Also basic cooking stuffs provided. Highly recommend it.

We had a lovely experience staying at Rata lodge! Our only regret is that we did not book more days with Judy! Spacious, modern, clean and equipped with everything that you would require. Not to mention it was located in a tranquil location within mins drive to the central area. We loved the high ceilings and decor touches. We look forward to be back again in the future, thank you Judy!

Beautiful place with one of the best views in Queenstown. Excellent bed and shower. Very clean. Highly recommended

Great stay! Easy walk into town. Room looks exactly as described, and it was comfortable and warm. Lots of parking available.

Warm and comfortable accomodation. Great communication with hosts. Stunning mountain views.

Great place to stay , apartment was clean and tidy and kitchen had all the utensils we needed. Close to all amenities and great views. Would definitely recommend this place . Thanks

Excellent communication, and entry instruction from Owner. Apartment was as listed, no surprises or disappointments. Short walk to supermarket/shops. We hired a vehicle. The car space provided was well positioned, and able to be locked when we were out, bonus. Side note: $10pp cash for 5min local bus to/from airport without a travel BeeCard. We stayed 2 nights in Queenstown and 3 nights with a vehicle at this AirBnB, overall I was very pleased with my choice. Recommend, Yes.

A wonderful location with stunning lake and mountain views. Pleasant and easy walks to local coffee shops and eateries. Great lakeside walk into Queenstown. Excellent accommodation bed extremely comfortable. Great communication with host who was helpful and timely in responding. Would highly recommend and would return in a heartbeat.

Location is great with private parking so you don’t have to worry about finding one far away and shifting luggages. The place I clean and near most of the needed amenities, beautiful surrounding and walking distance to the lake. Full function kitchen with no restriction of what are allowed to be cooked. Jane is a wonderful host ensuring our safe arrival and proactively helped us check on the status of the road closure, ensuring our safe arrival. We were greeted with a warm welcome, chocolate and a pre warmed house. :)

I will never forget the moment staying 2nights here. Wonderful view
