Holiday rentals with a kayak in Te Waipounamu / South Island

Thank you for a wonderful stay. The views are awesome and the place was clean and tidy.

Fabulous, as always. Thanks for our "home away from home".

Wow! What a place! The moment we arrived we felt relaxed and calm, the combination of the sound of the river flowing, the snow on the mountain peaks, the green grass and unbelievable views immediately calmed the soul. We loved the hot tub overlooking the mountains and the steam sauna just outside of the house. The house is spacious, the linen is sooo comfortable, it has everything you could want and more. we have traveled all over the world and Rebecca and Graeme’s Airbnb is right up there with one of the best we have stayed. Thank you SO MUCH for hosting us, we can’t wait to visit again next year.

What an amazing place! Perfect in every way peaceful,beautiful everything you need we loved our stay with access to the canoes on the lake ( thanks for the loan of the fishing rod) to the glow worms in the cave at night to the hot tub just perfect.

I had a great time with my family at this Air bnb, it had amazing views, the house was clutter free and very clean, felt just like being at my home. Kids loved the bunk beds 😊

We had the best stay at this lakeside air bnb, the views were gorgeous and couldn’t have asked for any better! 🤩 perfect stay, we wish we could have stayed longer

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

Wonderful place to get away from it all- this is our 3rd year coming here and we will be back again

We had a wonderful time at Kotuku Cottage! It's just beautiful. You can sit in the big living room and look out to the tideland right behind the house and the sunlit hill on the other side. Our kids had big fun playing in the mud and water, and if you walk around the corner you're right at the ocean. It's a very quiet and private location but you can easily drive either up to farewell spit, or down to Collingwood (recommended: The Courthouse Café) or further into the golden bay. Highly recommended for a serene stay close to the sea.

We loved our time here. Each night it felt like we were coming back home. It was so easy to relax after a day exploring. We chose this location because it fit well into our itinerary and we are so glad that we did.

We can’t thank Clare, Richard and Annabel enough for welcoming us into their farm. They were so so lovely, and we loved every moment at the cottage. The kids loved running on the big lawn, everything was clean, tidy and obviously well cared for. Richard even showed our toddler were the sheep get shawn. The bays around Port Levy are stunning.

Really enjoyed the stay. Appreciated the flexible check-in and communication/solution regarding item left behind.

We had a great time in Mapua. John and Kim were absolutely lovely and gave us very good recommendations for activities. For example we could use their bikes to go to Rabbit Island. We also had fun using their canoe. The wharf with bars and restaurants is only a short walk from the house. We would definitely stay here again.

Very cozy house with a lot of family atmosphere

Our family of four had a great time at Tui Cottage. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable and warm. The view and beach access is amazing. We appreciated being able to use the kayaks. Throughly recommend.

We loved Louise’s place and had a wonderful time there in her beautiful garden as well. Lovely meeting her and her friendly dogs also! The cottage is charming with all the amenities you’d need - we were welcomed with freshly picked raspberries that were delightful. Located next to all the best coffee shops and restaurants in Clyde, we would love to come back and stay for longer next time.

Great place, perfect for a grouo

This was an absolute hidden gem! David was incredibly hospitable and we felt right at home with all the special touches. I really appreciate all the effort that was put in, to making this stay feel oh so homely. Thank you once again. Joe and Za 😊

Great spot 100m walk to the beach. Just down the road from the boat ramp. Had everything we needed for a 3 night stay. Super easy communication and instructions.

Another amazing holiday in paradise! Couldn’t ask for better, thank you!

Nice chilled holiday at a good location

Amazing place! So relaxing, stunning view and impeccably clean. Such a cute cabin, I really loved the back to basics vibe of it...felt a million miles away from the hectic-ness, complications and rigid order of modern day life...it was ABSOLUTE BLISS!!! There was total peace and quiet & it had a private veranda to look out onto the waterway (where there are kayaks for guests to use from the private beach). Really handy having a kitchen in the cabin and a laundry room on site. David was a fabulous host. Very knowledgeable about the area and he was lovely to chat with. I could have stayed for months on end (and I certainly hope to be staying here again before I depart NZ). Highly recommend taking a few days out of life and just relaxing here watching the boats on the water or using it as a base to explore the sounds. Loved it!

Jayne and William were warm and friendly and really took care of us. Right from the time of booking till the time they loaded up our luggage on the shuttle. Jayne was very proactive in giving us clear directions to find the place. she was very responsive while we were enroute to the cabin. The cabin itself is cozy, clean and well maintained. The basic amenities will be pretty much everything you require - a stove, compost toilet, and shower. We regret that we couldn't spend more time there and had to move on to our next post on the Queen Charlotte track. The location is spectacular and very close to the water so a quick dip or a kayak would be lovely in this place. All in all, a very pleasant time in a lovely place with wonderful people. Would recommend!

Keren's place is on the peninsual, a good alternative to the hustle and bustle of town centre. The cottage is in the garden with establish trees where birds come and sing in the morning making the stay even better. Super clean floor and bathroom, crisy clean bedding and sunshine into the cottage just made us feel more relaxed and comfortable.
