Hotel holiday rentals in Te Waipounamu / South Island

We loved staying with Helen at the Bealey eco lodge. The setting is breathtaking and Helen’s cosy lodge was the perfect place to explore the area from. Helen is a super friendly host with a remarkable knowledge of the region. We’d recommend this stay for anyone traveling through the area looking for an off-grid experience

Such a cozy, cute hotel and with the tram running right in front! Lots of attractions nearby and good restaurants.

We loved our stay at Eric’s. It is a perfect base for exploring Abel Tasman which we did. Sharing the kitchen worked well and we met people from all over the world. It is always lovely to chat to people who also love travelling. There was plenty of space to sit outside and the gardens were beautiful. It did look slightly different to the photos as they were obviously taken a few years ago and lots of the bushes etc have now grown quite a bit but I was still able to recognise it from the photos. Breakfast is plentiful with eggs from Barb’s chickens and lots of options of bread, pastries and cereals. The bed was massive and the shower super powerful! We would definitely recommend and will visit again if we manage to return to NZ!

My wife and I had the most amazing time staying at Pete & Janine's place! The room was fabulous and styled with taste! The bed was extremely comfortable and the room was cozy and warm with its log fire!! Pete & Janine were fantastic hosts and treated us as though we were family. They cooked a great dinner both nights as the pub down the road was closed! We absolutely recommend this place at the highest level! We loved our stay and will look to return again soon!!

The hostel provides everything you need for a great stay in Christchurch and the staff is great. Anthony, thanks again for being our lifesaver!

Hello Hugh, I've been back in China for a while now, but I still can't stop thinking about that night we spent by Lake Ohau. I often reminisce about Dwayne and you. Thank you so much for your warm hospitality. If I ever have the chance to visit New Zealand again, I will definitely stay with you once more, and I'll also recommend it to my friends!

Can’t say enough positive things about this stay! From the moment I arrived Karen and Nigel made me feel like family, welcoming me with a smile, and offering a homemade dinner! Lovely conversation and two individuals who bring a smile to your face. The bed was incredibly comfy, the bathroom spotless, the breakfast in the morning a great touch as well as the gym and spa. Was incredible to feel like I was at home and to spend the night conversing with Nigel and Karen and learning more about NZ! Do yourself a favor and if you’re in the West coast, stay here!

I highly recommend! Amazing views, pure nature around you and really close to start (or end) the Routeburn track (it was the reason why we choose this accommodation).

We had a great stay, fabulous location on waterfront. Could walk everywhere. Not so private if that’s what you are looking for. We enjoyed the little town feel and being in the centre of it. The room was beautiful and bath amazing. Definitely recommend!

Great place to stay. Easy check in and and check out. Very clean. Good location, close to everything.

We were flabbergasted at how gorgeous and private this place was, while being super close to town (1min walk). We loved the small courtyard garden with a wee view and how quiet it was meaning the bird song and stream were our backdrop. If you ever think of selling, give us a holler! 😉

Great location and short walk to restaurants and cafes. Parking was convenient too. Unit was spacious and clean.

Nice, clean little place that makes for a great base of operations for the Marlborough wine region. Friendly hosts with great communication as well.

Everything was as expected, good communication, thanks

a nice relaxing stay in downtown Akaroa. Close to the main shops and restaurants it was a great location.

If this place is available, book it! My husband and I stayed three nights during our honeymoon and could not get over the majestic views from the window. There are beautiful murals of NZ nature in the sitting room and bathroom that added extra charm. The king bed is very comfortable. The room and communal spaces do not have a true kitchen so as long as you’re not hoping to cook your own meals, this airbnb has it all. We will definitely return next time we visit Queenstown.

Thanks Stacey for having us. A wonderful place and Stacey made ua feel at home. Great being able to head north to Hokitika or Sth to the glaciers.

Great location. Super clean and comfortable. Very quiet. Highly recommend.

Rilla gave us a tour of the hotel, which was really interesting. She and Bernie are excellent hosts, making great progress on the renovation and restoration of this historic Timaru hotel. Our room was large and comfortable, with access to a shared kitchen for basic meal preparation. Handy to The Bay snd some very good eateries. We enjoyed our 4 nights and would definitely stay again.

The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The host was helpful and easy to communicate with. The location was convenient, making it a good spot for our stay.

Perfect spot to stay whilst attending a wedding at the Lodge.

Clean and easy to find hostel. beautiful kitchen area

Best cleanest showers at a backpackers I’ve ever seen. Kitchen also very clean and well organised.
