Holiday rentals with breakfast in Waitaki District

This is the best experience I have ever had. The landlord is very easy to communicate with. As a person with mysophobia, this is the cleanest bedroom and bathroom I have ever encountered. The bed is very comfortable to sleep on and smells like it has been exposed to the sun. The bathroom has the heater and still new and big, absolutely 100 points to recommend.

The house on a very beautiful hillside is a few steps away from the observation deck.

Sarah’s house is stunning, with breathtaking views that make for a truly memorable stay. The space is beautifully designed and comfortable. I highly recommend staying here and would love to return!

Such a friendly host, lovely family. Very comfy bed and one of the best nights sleep I’ve had in NZ. So quiet at night. Lovely rural Airbnb! Would stay again!

Rob is very friendly and the castle is awesome, definitely worth visiting. The house is very old and looks live in movie. There is big garden too.

Clear instructions to enter the property. Immaculately clean. Walking distance to the lovely historic part of town. Enjoyed our stay thank you Mary.

Jillian was a warm and caring host. We arrived after an exhausting bike ride and she welcomed us with everything we needed: her cozy house with delicious food, a warm shower and a comfortable bed. we slept really well. The breakfast with Jillian's home-baked bread was amazing. Thank you very much for everything!

Its located at the new village in Lake Tekapo. Overall, the experience in Tekapo is amazing n its easy to go to Mt Cook as well.

Very nice place, comfortable bed, great shower, friendly host and beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend😊

Yiling 's apartment was a treasure. Spacious, clean, comfortable...like new. Yiling was always responsive, and even picked our luggage up from the bus station, so my 90 year old friend didn't have to drag it 1 kilometer, as we explored town before our early check-in. I would be happy to stay here on my next visit.

Great place to spend time, comfortable and cosy with a great view. Breakfast foods a very nice touch. The apartment is easily accessible from the street. Enjoyed our stay very much.

We enjoyed our stay in the serene neighbourhood and seeing so many stars when we stepped out at night. The kitchen was well equipped and Graham and Vicki had also kindly provided some eggs, I believe from their farm, as well as condiments that included butter! The home was clean and tidy with a large bathroom. Heating was also sufficient as it happened to be cold when we visited. Location was also fantastic as it was 5 mains away from Lake Tekapo.

One of our best Airbnb properties, we loved it.

Cathy and Mark are incredible and delightful hosts. We could have talked with them all evening. The house is a beautiful restored gem. It feels like we stepped through a Time Machine. Book this place for the experience and quiet time in the country. The location is so peaceful yet is just 15minutes from downtown Oamaru. This is the perfect spot if you are on a cycling holiday as there are km’s of open country road. The home itself is so unique. It’s octagonal with a huge living space and each room is lovingly restored. We loved the parlour with its fireplace and games. The breakfast was phenomenal as well with farm fresh eggs and fresh bread. But by far the best thing was being greeted like a long lost friend by both of them. It made our holiday really special!

After a very strenuous day on the rail trail and a freezing cold wind for the last hour we were running later than expected. Debbie checked in with us to make sure we were alright and met us outside as we arrived. Debbie was so welcoming and gracious - she made us feel right at home. We were blown away by the lovely attention to detail (hotties, beautiful tea/coffee set up and the best shower with great pressure!), and enjoyed a really comfy night's sleep after an excellent meal at the Waipiata Country Hotel (a 2 minute walk away). A lovely breakfast the following day with homemade muesli and condiments was just what we needed before setting off again. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Debbie and would highly recommend Behind the Bike Shed to anyone. We will definitely be back!

We loved our stay here it was a truly beautiful place and Drew and Bron had thought of everything to make us feel at home. A unique experience having animals at the window in the morning! Would highly recommend.

It was a unique and memorable opportunity to stay at the Middlemarch property where my mother, Natalie, had lived from 1927 to 1944. I had spent many holidays there and so it was a most fulfilling experience to introduce my grownup children and two young grandchildren to the ancestral home and heritage. We also scattered my 97yo mother’s ashes on the Rock & Pillar Range behind Strathmore. Liz was very hospitable and showed us through the main house where she lives. She also provided delicious homemade yogurt with apricots, raspberry and blackcurrant jams and locally sourced honey for breakfast & snacks. We met several lovely neighbours and local personalities during our 3 day stay. We enjoyed eating at the local Kissing Gate cafe and the Strath Taieri Hotel. The landscape was magnificent and we really enjoyed all aspects of our stay.

Great place to stay, private and very comfortable bed , brooke is very friendly and helpful

Brilliant hosts fantastic place. Briar and Shaun are extremely welcoming and make you feel right at home in their beautiful house. They provide great advice and suggestions on what to do based on your preferences both locally and further afield. We had really great conversations and Briar makes really good cakes! As a guest you have access to the lounge area so can relax and make yourself at home. Definitely happy to recommend

We stayed at Nikki’s while doing the Central Otago Rail Trail. It was a short ride to her place in historic Ophir and we enjoyed looking around. She is about 1km from an historic bridge. The accommodation was very lovely in an old stone cottage that had been lovingly restored. It had good heating and very comfortable bed and a slow combustion stove if you want to stay in. 2 great venues to eat. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our stay with Lynley and Glyn. The accommodation was homely, the bed was big and comfy, the hosts very welcoming and extremely interesting and the house is in a beautiful part of the country. And yes, I have changed the way I cook my eggs :) Thanks Lynley.
