Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Te Waipounamu / South Island

We loved staying here and it felt like we were at home! It had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay . Clare was really accommodating and if we’re ever in the area again, we’d want to come back here.

They nailed the essence of a great Airbnb; unique and personal vibe with all the perfect environmentally friendly touches. Hot tub, sauna, indoor and outdoor fire places, it was a perfect cozy retreat. It can look a bit isolated on the map, but actually we walked to the port for Doubtful Sound tour and Te Anu is just a short drive for restaurants and groceries.

A spacious home with a lovely setting, with plenty of space to spread out. Easy walking distance to the center with a good selection of restaurants. A variety of excellent walking trails are within a short distance by car and well worth doing. We really enjoyed our stay.

Tranquil and beautiful location beside the lake. Great to take a walk to the domain and see the birdlife.

Our stay well & truly exceeded our expectations! The views are stunning and the home has been thoughtfully designed and furnished. The beds are comfortable, the gas fire was on for us on arrival, the bathroom spotless and well thought out. Would highly recommend - we will be back for sure.

The place is very clean and we enjoyed staying here. The gas cylinder was run out of supply when tried to prepare a simple dish, but Paul was very responsible and replaced with an emergency cylinder. Other than this, everything is perfect. Thank you Paul.

We had a really lovely time at Kelly’s place! Having just finished the Paparoa Great Walk it was the perfect place to recharge and relax. Very comfortable and cosy. Kelly was an incredibly generous host and left us lots of yummy treats and even lit the fire for us so the place was warm when we arrived! We definitely recommend staying at Kelly’s home.

One of my absolute favourite stays we’ve found on airbnb. This place is something special, such a wonderful home in such a beautiful location. We drove in from Wānaka and the drive was incredible. The bathtub was a great inclusion, and the kitchen space was really well done with everything you could need. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to stay somewhere out of the busyness of Queenstown and Wānaka.

Friendly and fast response host, house described as per listing. Clean and spacious. Surrounding quiet and peaceful. We are happy to stayed there 4nights, will visit again on next trip thank you Ray. ☺️

This truly beautiful property felt like magic. From the charming decor to the stunning view of the lake, there was something wonderful in every corner. We were comfortable, warm and cosy right throughout our stay, which felt like the perfect base while we explored Queenstown and beyond.

A beautiful modern apartment. Perfect for our family of 5. Great location. Loved all the trimmings. The most comfortable bedding. Enjoyed the hot tub after a day of hiking. Have already recommended it to friends. Thanks for a fantastic stay in Wanaka.

Of all the places I have stayed this one might be the nicest. Absolutely beautifully decorated with every amenity you could want. The beds were really comfortable with little extras like electric bed warmers and a heater in the bathroom. It was quiet with a spectacular view of the ocean. This is a special place.

Nice, unique place on the way to Franz Joseph Glacier or the other way to Arthur’s Pass/Christchurch. The staff is very friendly.

We booked this place to give ourselves a bit of luxury in queenstown, as we had something to celebrate. The place was great and I 100% recommend everything about it - especially the views! Thanks Renee.

One of the most beautiful homes to stay in, the views are just as immaculate as the home. They had everything you could possibly need for a staycation and the team was super helpful and responsive. They spoiled us and I will definitely look to find accommodation with the team again!

Great place to stay on the West Coast, beautiful views over the lake.

Thank you so much for the wonderful stay - what a beautiful, peaceful location and the cabin is absolutely stunning

Stunning quiet location, very warm and cozy, great shower pressure and absolutely loved the pool table! Didn’t miss having a tv at all - lovely to be off-grid for a change. Huge deck which is all covered and would’ve been great if it was raining! But we had beautiful weather so also had no issues with solar power. Felt very lucky to be able to have our dogs with us. They had the best time too. Thanks so much, we had a great couple of nights.

Lovely hosts - friendly and welcoming. A charming place to stay - restful and private. Loved the spa. Lisa had the room warm for my late arrival. Thank you both for a quaint, eclectic and delightful setting.

Lovely stay, enjoyed the sauna and the views of the mountains. Kristy was a lovely host and even had a scrapbook of her family and their involvement and influence in the town which was really interesting context and made us feel like we knew our hosts a little better. We were sad we only stayed one night but it was a great launch point for our hike through the Copeland Valley the following day. The place is also close to the Fox Glacier viewpoint, so we were able to sneak that in before our big day of hiking. If you have time, we also heard the helicopter tours and helicopter-hikes were also fabulous in the area.

Gumboot paradise is a wonderful spot to stay. It’s Kiwi ‘glamping’ at its best. Our kids loved the outdoor shower and even the composting toilet. Be prepared to rough it in style!

Would definitely recommend Craig and Ri’s place if you are looking at seafront properties to stay for a night! The house had a small kitchen great for light cooking, a separate bedroom with plush bed and bathroom with shower amenities as well as a functioning heater to keep us warm! The living room has another heater as well and sofas are comfortable too. The walk to the hot tub shack was short (probably less than 30 seconds) and it is kept constant at 38 deg c, which is great during this chilly period! Overall, would recommend Craig and Ri’s place for anyone coming by to stay and looking to stroll along the beach.

This is such a great find and well worth the money. A little slice of heaven that is still close to lots of other areas, wish we could have stayed longer. Jude was very welcoming and we appreciated them letting us stay at the creekside cabin when it is normally only for one person.

We had an amazing stay! This place was perfect for our short stay but definitely would be great for a longer stay. The kitchen was so well equipped (even had a slow cooker), lots of fun games to play, amazing hot tub and beautiful surroundings. Sally was a great host, she gave us lots of tips for the area and was very helpful. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.
