Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Te Waipounamu / South Island

Wonderful, peaceful place to stay. Quirky items in the house. Very warm and the house had everything you needed. Excellent host who responded to questions and requests. Thanks

The property was amazing. It was cozy and had everything we needed. The spa overlooking the sea was fabulous, as was the room outside where we could sit and chill and watch the sea, but be warm and cozy. We walked into town for dinner. Wandered along the beach. The interior design was really cool. My husband especially lived the robots on the ceiling. We also enjoyed Hokitika, cafes were great. We went to the National Kiwi Centre which was AMAZING! And also did the zipline at the West Coast Treetop Hikoi and Tower Zipline. Thanks we had a great time. Highly recommend staying here.

Gibbs’ guesthouse is absolute perfection. From the incredible vistas, to the outdoor bath (!!), fireplace, and sumptuous linens, it is a gem and one we will long remember. We had the pleasure of staying here for three nights in mid-June. We were lucky for incredible weather for the most (morning frosts, crisp, sunny days, and cosy, clear nights against a backdrop of incredible stars); using that to our advantage, we flew up to the glacier for a morning on the ice, and used the guesthouse as a fabulous base for other hikes around the area. For one of the days, we were cosy inside with the fire burning and playing many of the games in the cupboards. Perfect relaxation! The guesthouse is appointed beautifully, and Sarah (our host) very responsive and warm in her communication. It’s very easy to find, and just far enough out of town to be very quiet and relaxing. Do yourselves a favour, and book a stay here. You’ll not regret it!

This is undoubtably one of the best Air BNB places we have stayed. We felt at home and spent many an hour sitting at the window with the fire crackling - nice glass of red in hand of course. not much more to say except WOW. Thank you to Angela and her family for sharing their place with us

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

Kay’s cottage is gorgeous, looks exactly as the pictures do. The surroundings are something else and having access to the kayaks, paddle boards and dingy were a great assets. We arrived on a stunning Autumn day and go out onto the ocean right away.. Three bedroom are all close together upstairs and downstairs was a cosy open plan kitchen dining lounge area. The road there isn’t for the faint of heart but when you get there it’s very much worth it!! We wish we stayed longer.

Very good host, very responsive. The room is very clean. The pillows are super comfortable. Very satisfied B&B. The room is fully equipped with cooking utensils!I'll be back soon!

Very cozy nice place👍

Beautiful spot in Mapua with amazing views. Great amenities and we especially loved the outdoor fireplace and bath - both amazing under a very starry sky. Short drive to the Mapua wharf, and was a great base for us to explore Abel Tasman (approx 30 minute drive to Marahau).

This is a wonderful place to stay. The views are absolutely amazing. The accommodation was spotless and had everything you could possibly need. Everything was to high standard and attention to detail was great. The studio is very private. Karen and John went out of their way to make us feel welcome and were very helpful.

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.

The best Airbnb stay we have had to date! Such a beautiful property right on the lake with water views. The property has access to the Queenstown trail that takes you directly to Queenstown and connects to many other beautiful trails that you can walk/bike. The property is exactly as described but the photos do not do it justice - we will definitely be back!

We had a fantastic 3 nights enjoying the views and character of Julie's place, very friendly with lots of locals tips and would definitely like to revisit with the family !

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

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.

This stay was incredible! The views at sunrise and sunset were astounding and the AirBnb was perfect for a get away! Would definitely return!

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

Our stay here was excellent! The property was very spacious and was beautiful! All rooms were nicely done! Highly recommend! The host was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and responsive.

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

A lovely place. Gorgeous views over Queenstown, comfy beds, and very responsive hosts! Would definitely stay here again

We had a great stay overall—the home matched the listing, was clean, and check-in was hassle-free. The only downside was that the heater in one of the bedrooms wasn’t working, so that room got a bit chilly at night. Everything else was just as described, and the host was friendly and responsive. Once the heater’s fixed, this place will be perfect!

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. :)

The view is just perfect and the house is in pristine condition. Location is great too: very near the town area and airport! Thanks for checking in on us Nicola! You are the best!

Our favourite accommodation of our NZ trip, everything was excellent! I can't decide if my favourite feature was the super comfortable bed and linen, the heated bathroom floor or the sensor light for the bathroom! Carolyn was great with communication and very helpful. Highly recommended, we will definitely stay here if visiting this area again.
