Villa holiday rentals in Te Waipounamu / South Island

Very well equipped house for a family holiday, had everything we needed. Gorgeous location close to beach, national park and the shops we needed. All 7 of us had a great stay!

We like the place very much. The kitchen is very well equipped. We have what we wanted. Except for 1 room without heater, and some noises from the road, the place is prefect. Highly recommended!

Loved our stay here! Comfy, clean beds, full kitchen, even breakfast and milk in the fridge!! Easy to communicate with. Loved going back in time. Thank you.

This booking was made for my friends and their families. They are very happy with the accommodation. The hosts are very nice and respond rapidly. Strongly recommended

This home is in a beautiful and serene setting. It was about 1.5h from Christchurch airport and was the perfect antidote to the craziness of flying. At night, the only thing we could hear was the breeze and the gentle rain. I’d love to stay for a week. Annie was incredibly friendly and the welcome basket with homemade granola was tops. The basket also included potato chips made from the potatoes grown on the property! The kitchen was amazingly well stocked and my kid got to try Milo for the first time.

We had a great time staying here. The house is quiet and beautiful and an easy walk into town. It is a lovely, clean and livable space. It was perfect for our group of 5. Jie was a superb host. Thanks very much!

I stay here often. It is a large comfortable house close to all Nelson has to offer. The aircon is a bonus on hot days.

Great place to stay. We were a group of 9 and we all had plenty of space. The location is a short walk to a Four Square and the Māpua wharf where there are plenty of eateries to choose from and lovely artisan and gift stores. Jane was a great host who communicated well and provided local recommendations. Would happily stay here again.

We had a fantastic stay. Deborah was always very response to our queries both before arrival and during our stay. The place and view were stunning and offered fantastic value. I wouldn’t hesitate booking again.

We had a wonderful family celebration with three generations. Beautiful landscaped grounds and with the beautiful weather we spent most of our time outdoors. Sauna and tub were well used and inside our families enjoyed the character rooms,lounge and kitchen. An ideal space for a big group.

Superb views over Queenstown, great location. worked perfectly for 9 of us. highly recommended

The house exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful, thank you. We will be back!

Absolutely beautiful location and property. How lucky were we on arrival to find a newly constructed tennis/pickleball court complete with equipment for the whole family to use. 🙌 Quality linen and an abundance of comfort lounges/chairs with throws to enjoy lazy afternoons lounging. The property has to be seen to be believed. Postcard views from every window, the deck was amazing to enjoy the long dusk and hot tub enjoyed after a big day hiking/cycling. A perfect location to celebrate a milestone birthday for my husband. We loved our stay and would return again without hesitation. Thank you for providing such a high quality experience. Best wishes

This house is in such a convenient location with absolutely breathtaking views. The rooms are spacious, well-equipped, and very clean and tidy. The host was super friendly and welcoming, and gave us lots of great recommendations for family-friendly activities and restaurants. We had a wonderful time here ，highly recommended!

The Villa provided a beautiful retreat venue for our team preparing for their commissioning's and ordinations. They loved the venue, its location, their rooms, the spaces and the peaceful environment it afforded them. Nei te mihi - Thank you!

This was a great place to stay with a big group, bedrooms were really big and comfortable, lounge and open plan kitchen was super spacious! Really warm in the summer!

Perfect location for a girls weekend. We organised on line shopping and Mike meet our deliveries and unpacked our groceries for us. The view to wake up too in the morning was just gorgeous . Vineyards , the mountains and sheep staring back at you. 😀. We were escaping from Auckland so we appreciated the scenery. Thank you Mike

Carla and Chris were excellent communicators, very nice and kind guests and jumped to anything I didn’t know how to use ect. Very kind people. Thankyou Carla and Chris! 🙂

We had an absolutely lovely stay at Greg & Jan’s place! We were there to celebrate our mom’s big birthday and it was a wonderful stay. Lovely house with a beautiful pool, kitchen and everything else ❤️ Greg & Jan were delightful hosts, always available to answer any questions we may have. Beautiful place to stay in Blenheim, visiting many wineries nearby. Highly recommend!

Maree hosts a fantastic, beautiful, comfortable renovated villa home in a superb location that remains private and serene. She was a great host and I could not recommend staying here highly enough.

This place was amazing!!! We booked the whole place and had a family reunion with 15 adults, 2 kids and an infant and the villa was perfect! If anything she under sells how wonderful it is!

We loved our stay at the Hawkesbury Homestead!! Beautiful house, plenty of space, lovely grounds and surroundings! Lynda was an amazing host, very communicative and helpful with several local recommendations that were all fabulous.

We absolutely fell in love with this place and almost immediately extended our stay by a night after arriving. We visited in autumn and the gardens were absolutely stunning, with beautiful colourful trees, a herd of deer, and so many mushrooms. The room was very cosy, the bed comfortable, and the room very quiet making for a very restful stay. The bathroom with all of the windows was lovely and relaxing in the bath was a highlight. The place is close to bob's cove and lots of other DOC walking tracks, and is 15 minutes drive into Queenstown, so easy enough to pop in for dinner. Suzanne and her cute little dog were very welcoming and Suzanne gave us some nice tips about things to do in the area. If you're after a relaxing break away from it all, I highly recommend this spot.

Cardrona Village villas (next to the Cardrona Hotel) are the best place to stay if you are doing days up on Cardrona (for either mountainbiking or skiing). Long days up on the mountain are followed up perfectly with long evenings in the pool and spa. Great location and lovely setting.
