Te Onepoto lodge Sumner, breakfast, spa, L8 chkout
Stunning views Just what we needed for a peaceful getaway. Stunning views and a cozy fire. Everything you need, great friendly hosts that leave treats, and also very gracious allowing our Humphrey the Labrador come and stay too, who adored being so close to the beach. Thanks for having us, hope to see you again soon ⭐️🌟✨

The Cape Rocks Cabin
Whare ataahua (beautiful home). We loved our stay. Cosy warm whare (home). Loved the weka’s. Fantastic walks and views. Definitely recommend this as a great place to stay.

Straw bale house by the sea
I can not rate this house more highly. It is so peaceful, with the most incredible views out every window! There was nothing better than waking up and looking out the window to the mountain range, and that evening having an incredible hot spa heated by a log fire. The house is rustic, with ever piece of furniture quirky and well chosen for the space. The bathrooms were spotless and the fire was lit ready for us when we arrived which we really appreciated. The beach is so close by, listening to the waves was my favourite thing. As a family, we absolutely adored our stay here.

The White House- Ligarbay
The location of this home is incredible! Beautiful sunsets, close to penguins and a number of stunning beaches and hikes. Check out the baby fur seals, caves, natural spring, waterfalls and abundant bird life. Piwakawakas at every hike! Garry was very accommodating and responsive. Rent with confidence!

Luxurious -Private-self contained cottage
We found the Clifftop Retreat cabin suited our needs perfectly and Bob provided an excellent level of communication, service and local tips. He also ensured the pantry and wines were stocked with high quality local products. The accomodation was very good with comfortable bed, terrific functional kitchen and amazing clifftop views of the surrounding bay and local area. The location was perfect for our walking trips up into the Abel Tasman National Park and also fantastic local restaurants and wineries. Bob also organised a pick up from the airport for us as we arrived late at night. Overall a fantastic stay and would certainly recommend Clifftop Retreats very highly.

#72 3 Bedroom Apt with partial Water Views
Worth every penny. It was a beautiful apartment. Comfortable beds. Plenty of amenities and absolutely pristine. Would stay there again. Host was attentive fantastic knowledge sent us a message with loads of choices of things to do before we got there and we used this to plan the trip. Gave us great tips on where to eat and cannot thank them enough. Five star.

Hill top Boutique Guest unit overlooking the sea
Staying at Anthea & Wayne's B&B was a delight! The clean, tidy bedroom offered stunning sunset sea views from the hill. The well-equipped kitchen was perfect for our needs for simple breakfast, and the outdoor BBQ added a lovely touch. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway! Five stars all the way!

Lake Front Luxury Apartment
Robynne's home was simply incredible. It was beautiful inside and out, and had plenty to do within walking distance. It being located less than a 5 minute walk from the water taxi was very convenient, and provided a great way to get in and out of Queenstown without having to drive. Robynne was very helpful and provided everything we needed during our trip and was always very quick to respond to questions. The provided house manual included instructions for every appliance in the house, as well as great recommendations for things to do nearby. Her home is a fantastic way to experience Queenstown and I highly recommend it

Tawhitinui; Connect with Nature
This is the place when you want to hide from everithing in a unique setting. Look at the sea while having breakfast, linger on the veranda and enjoy nature, go for a kayak trip, just tuck in... Just the place to be yourself.

Mapua Executive Home with swimming pool and spa
A wonderful home in a beautiful location with stunning views. We particularly enjoyed the pool, spa and being able to walk to amazing restaurants and wine bar. Sally and Wayne were friendly helpful hosts. Highly recommend staying

Beachfront Hector’s House in Curio Bay
We had an amazing couple of nights here…fantastic location with the beach at the doorstep and an easy walk to the petrified forest. If you’re looking for a relaxed, honest place to recharge away from it all then this is the place. Wish we’d stayed longer…

Luxury Beach House in Colac Bay/Riverton
Amazing location and beautiful Airbnb

Large 5 bedroom home overlooking the ocean.
Great place! Stunning view, quick drive to town, spotlessly clean. 5 stars!

Best Bay Views
Jade & Carla's place is in an awesome location, overlooking the bay, with easy access to the beach. We felt we could relax in a comfortable Kiwi Bach with stacks of space. Jade & Carla were great at keeping us up to date with everything.

Beachfront Bach - retro at the beach
An amazing spot to spend some perfect days in Christchurch / South New Bristol. The beach is directly vis-à-vis which makes it special. The outdoor bathtub is a nice Extra Feature!

Beachside Bliss - Redcliffs
Great house, very private, nicely furnished, comfortable. Great kitchen facilities, washing machine, Lovely location, great walks to cafes and restaurants. Supermarket close by via car. Spotlessly clean. Host was very responsive.

Private Hideaway with Beach & Marina Access
We loved this Air BnB - the space was exactly what we needed for our family of 3. It was beautifully set out and super clean! The veggie garden was a nice surprise, there were lots of basics in the pantry to use etc. The hot tub was fab too! Jo was really responsive and helped us with a couple of small things we needed - thanks! Location to town was great - 5 minute drive. You can also walk via a private walkway to a pub with good food in 5 minutes. Just one thing to be aware of if you have small children - in the garden it leads onto a stream/river and there is no gate. It shouldn’t stop you going but kids will need supervising there. Highly recommend this place!
