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.

Très bon séjour dans une jolie maison directement face à la mer, très bien équipée, très agréable Nous recommandons vivement la maison de Mascha !

We absolutely adored staying at Te Awa Lodge on our recent trip to Wanaka. It was a gorgeous riverside home with an amazing hot tub and sauna, which we loved using after our hikes. Graeme and Carolyn were such warm, welcoming hosts and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The property is easily accessible to Wanaka (10-15 min) and Mount Aspiring (1 hour) . Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

Diese Unterkunft ist ein Refugium, sehr privat und voller schöner Dinge zum entdecken. Hier können sich alle - von Groß bis Klein - wohlfühlen. Es hat uns allen viel Spaß gemacht, z.B. die Glühwürmchenhöhle zu entdecken, während eines Bades im Pool die Sterne zu beobachten oder am Bach nach Gold zu schürfen und die Flusskrebse zu beobachten. Unser Highlight war eine persönliche Führung durch den Wald auf den Pfaden der früheren Goldsucher und zur Goldmine. Wir zum Land und zur Geschichte sowie der Natur viel gelernt. Fran und Grant waren tolle Gastgeber. Ebenfalls können wir den Tip zum Besuch der Carew Falls absolut weiterempfehlen. Der Weg ist einfach und der Wasserfall sowie die Aussicht sind unglaublich lohnenswert.

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

Lauren's place by the sea is such a superb home away from home to relax and enjoy beach life for a while. It's a cozy cottage with the sun or a log fire to keep you happy and warm. The view of the sea and stars from the master bedroom is spectacular. There was ample bedding and the kitchen has everything you need to cook up a storm. There are a few steps up to the house that needed care when it rained or in the dark. We really loved staying and being inspired by nature and the ever changing views of the bay.

a great house with wonderful hosts. beautiful location

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.

Kath and Dan were great Hosts, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The weather was wild but the cottage was warm and cosy. We will recommend teapot cottage to friends and family and will definitely stay again if in the area.

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.

Nice place to stay.

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

A beautiful little cabin in a peaceful setting over looking a lovely little harbour. Super close to Picton so if getting the ferry makes life a lot easier / quicker! Had slight confusion getting in but David was super quick to respond & came to make sure all was okay - friendly & responsive! Really comfy bed & lovely little touches left for guests. Highly recommend!

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

Es war ein super Aufenthalt in Davids Appartement. Man findet alles was man braucht, es ist ruhig & schön gelegen mit der Bucht angrenzend zum Grundstück. Wir haben David getroffen & er ist sehr nett! Gerne wieder 😊

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!

Great and cozy cabin to stay 😊
